What is even happening?

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I liked reading the script better than watching the episode

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 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?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But if that's an ish with Barrel Bear, then wouldn't it be with Wound Up Penguin also?

Barrell Bear, to me, needs a point. If it doesn't fit anywhere in the arc, has crappy characterisation, furthers nothing, and isn't that funny?

Waste of 42 minutes. What Safety Canary and Totem Mole had over Barrell Bear (and made the rest irrelevant, in my books) is a point. Wound Up Penguin can easily lack a point, be hysterical, have good characterisation, and help introduce Aaron in more detail.

Which it did. So I have no beef.

Cindy, thanks for asking. It was really lovely. It would be cliche to say it went really fast, but it's true. At some point I looked around and realized how lucky we are to have truly cool, amazing, funny, interesting people in our lives. When I made a toast to that effect, it made someone (ahem... ahem... no names named, oh purple-haired one) laugh internally and roll her eyes forevah.
