I feel bad for Jaye. When I watched "Crime Dog" I just found it amusing when she was in the car yelling at the cow creamer, but reading about her melting and smashing lions and being manhandled by cops and generally looking like a complete crazy person is sad. At least Aaron and Dr. Ron know she's not totally nuts... but that can't be much consolation. Those of you who have seen episodes 11 and 12 -- does it get even worse for Jaye?
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?

In episode 11, she's reached some sort of.... peace with being special.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, the upshot of Totem Mole (apart from krav is cool) is that she'll hang on to the voices for a while. Her call.

Good to hear. I didn't want to see her spiral any further into insanity.
Which is your favorite of all the unaired episodes? I've only seen up to Lovesick Ass, and I'd have to go with Crime Dog as my favorite. I like non-linear episodes, and it had the priceless slow-motion scene. I don't know that I've liked any of the scripts I've read more than that.

Brass monkey and then some. It brings both the funny and the pain.

Is Eric's lack of a spine ever explained; or is he simply a wimp at heart?

I think the general consensus is he's just a wimp at heart.
Or maybe Heidi-Ho sucked his spine out through his dick.
50/50.

What is even happening?
Now I'm afraid to read the scripts. I don't want to not love Eric. I don't want to see Jaye all broken.

I have to say that reading Cocktail Bunny didn't kill my love for Eric, but I realize that I don't have a strong impression of how that character plays from the script. For me, Jaye left off the page, Eric, NSM.

What is even happening?
I have no strength of character. I went on a jag this morning, and read all the scripts available for the episodes I haven't seen. And I didn't even read them in order. I'm a 'shipper, dammit. You can tell by the order in which I read them:
Cocktail Bunny
(is this aka
Brass Monkey?)
Safety Canary
Lying Pig
Lovesick Ass,
then
Crime Dog.
I need to go boil my shipshipshippy self in bleach.
(I don't hate Eric. I am broken for Jaye, though.)
It's been so long since I've rewatched the four episodes I do have, that in my head, the role of Eric is now being played by Matthew Fox, except for select moments, when I manage to remember TL. I am having a hard time imagining Jewel in the Heidi 'ho role, because I like Jewel and hate Heidi, because I'm shipshipshipper. Shoot. I should have waited.
Oooh! I just realized I missed Muffin Buffalo. Might as well go read that one, too.
