And, by the no point criteria, then is Wound Up Penguin better or worse than Safety Canary/Totem Mole

Haven't seen Totem Mole yet, but I liked Wound Up Penguin better than Safety Canary. SC's pacing was a bit weird; it's the only episode I've seen where I was bored halfway through. I liked reading the script better than watching the episode -- I felt like the jokes worked better there, oddly enough.

And of course there was that whole snowy owl thing that made no sense.

In fact, Barrel Bear opens with Mahandra listening to Eric's cellphone messages. And he's doing an ultimate kind of screening. Mahandra listens, recaps and then he says save or delete. She mentions Heidi and he pulls a face but saves the message.

OH! This is why were so blessed to have people come and celebrate with us, isn't it?

Speaking of, are there ever going to be pictures, or did I miss them? Congratulations, you two. From the sounds of it, it all came off wonderfully. Did you get to relax and enjoy yourself, Kat? How was your pretty cake?

I thought that, on the DVD itself, it said "Air Order #5" or something.

I've never thought of you guys as undatable. Married, yes. Not undatable.

Now I totally think of myself as undatable. No good can come of it.

Me too. It worked so much better written than performed, for some reason.

She mentions Heidi and he pulls a face but saves the message.

I thought it was his mom.

I liked Wound Up Penguin quite a bit. But it didn't really have a point in the forwarding the arc sense. Which is fine. But if that's an ish with Barrel Bear, then wouldn't it be with Wound Up Penguin also?

Because it's really funny to watch two undatable people date? It like standing outside the Fun House and watching people run into the glass walls.

I think you just summed up my love life.

Nope. Heidi had called too. Definitely his mom first, then Heidi.

I was just joking about us being undate-able. Lori and I are both Delicious Lambs.

I didn't like Safety Canary because the Jaye/Eric breakup seemed forced. One minute they're making out at the zoo, happy as can be, and then the next she "realizes" she's a man-eater and dumps him. I think they could at least have waited until the next episode to do that.

(I was also a bit bothered by Jaye admitting she may love Eric in Cocktail Bunny -- or was that Lying Pig? -- but I can let that go because I love that episode so much. Both of them.)

I do enjoy Aaron/Mahandra, though; their scenes in Safety Canary made the episode worthwhile.
