I think the show has given me a weakness for bartenders. Last night I met a friend for a drink, and our bartender was very Eric-like (though not quite as pretty.) The first time he asked me what I wanted, I totally forgot what I wanted to drink.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

My "big" nipples gave me an even bigger complex.

I see all. I know all. I am Allyson. Hear me bitch.
I really think that says it all. Though I would love to know too cause I am pretty nosey, but in reality its irrelevant to me and my quest to see them.

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 saw them because I'm so cute.

Yes. Allyson, as ita has dubbed her, is indeed so cute.
And possibly not wanting to discuss publicly how she (and others she loves who live in close vicinity and watch her cat) have seen some of the episodes.

And who got the pretty number? That's right.
Tangentially, I keep wanting to grab kids by the collar at school and shake them and yell, "SAY MY NAME BITCH!" I blame you, Allyson.

Aren't you off by an extra "l" there, Kat?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Scripty goodness:
WIDER - if there were doves, this would be a John Woo Moment as Jaye, Aaron and Yvette are all taken into custody and hustled in slow motion past Cigarette Smoking Sharon. As Jaye and Sharon share a look that has a world of history contained within it...
HALE
Do you think you're above the law, Jaye?
JAYE
Not really. I mean, I got arrested, didn't I?
HALE
Did you just give me tone?
JAYE
No. There was no tone.

PMM, you should see the scene! Damned funny it is, because Hale, she's fucking funny.
Also, Steph, I dunno if you are reading, but in Brass Monkey, there's a great shot showing everything in the napsack of a character in the elevator. (The Olsen girl is trying to immolate Dr. Ron and frame Jaye for the crime). You see a ton of Wonderfalls clothing, a Wonderfalls lighter (WANT), and... a Wonderfalls Happy Funball. It's even called that.
I laughed like a loon and said, "Do not taunt the happy fun cabal!"
Also, the John Woo moment happens multiple times in that episode. It's so beautifully shot.
Lots of funny. a little heartbreak. My non-magic-heart got a little choked up in the episode (musta been Brass Monkey) where married-Eric shows back up at the bar with Heidi-Ho in tow.
My Eric love..... dissipated by a LOT.
But, maybe after I see the finale, that will change. But I doubt it.
I have a lot to bitch about from Totem Mole, but I'll save that for later. Should go to sleep now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The John Woo moment isn't just slow mo. It's accelerated, then slow momentous mo, and then accelerated again, all backlit and blue and smokey.
It's beautiful.
