Barrel Bear reminds me of the Firefly episode The Message. Mahandra's hardline position on Milly Marcus rang false for me just like Mal not telling Tracey the plan and letting the situation escalate resulting in his death rang false for me in The Message. That said, I do like both episodes but those moments brought them down a bit, in my estimation.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Lilty, when you asked why Totem Mole was necessary because
I thought that by the end of Cocktail Bunny, she could have been on her way to accepting them.
If I remember correctly, Jaye complained that "the monkey lied." He was going to tell her why they talked to her and she was expecting some life-affirming message and just got "because you listen." It wasn't enough for her. There was no purpose behind it and she needed a purpose.
Totem Mole gave her that, sorta.

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

Thanks, Allyson! That is a pretty picture. But it's missing Katie.

"Cocktail Bunny" is sweeeet. I can't imagine it working so much earlier in the series as they'd planned. I love how on rewatching the episodes, you can see what the muses were really talking about, and how consistent it was even though Jaye and the audience always misinterpreted them.

What's up with Jay looking 15 years older than he did on Coupling last year, though? Does Rachel have Ampata-esque life stealing qualities?
I'm a bit sad now that I've completed watching "Caged Bird" and have no new Wonderfalls episodes to look forward to. But seeing the Welcome to Wonderfalls documentary was great. I loved it when Caroline said she channeled Jaye to break up a barfight by slapping a drunk and yelling "SNAP OUT OF IT!" Also, Bryan Fuller turned out to be much hotter than I'd expected.

Perhaps it's the daily goodbye from the Dred Pirate Minear:
"Good night, Jay. I'll likely kill your character in the morning."

It certainly seems that way, Alibelle. And the male doesn't appear to be Jay. So who knows.
