Heck, there's times I have to turn away during the operations on Nip/Tuck, that's how much I hate gore. This was not gory.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
and fuck up ALL THE TIME
Music to my ears!
Seriously. Not loving her acting so far, but characters who routinely overreach their limits and fuck up? MY FAVORITE.
The AtS-like pacing of the blipvert followed by the quick pan up to the hotelapartment building sent chills through me. It's been so long since I've seen that style on anything new, and man, I didn't realize how much I still missed it.
At this point, I wonder that Paul would want to be on the same team after she pointed her weapon at him.
I think Paul takes his "conscience" duties very seriously. Too seriously, probably, and I think he's going to get hurt.
I laughed out loud at "Damn. I got that backward."
That was a great line.
So far, I'm loving it. Rebecca's acting was the only thing that felt out of place, but I think a lot of that is just how much her mannerisms resemble Michelle Trachtenberg, which was distracting. I'm sure eventually I'll be able to see Rebecca and not Dawn.

Whoah! Just went to IMDB to look up who Jay Harrington reminds me of (Enrique Murciano, apparently), and The Inside's on the main page!

Thrive to spite them
Actually the grossest thing I've seen on tv was on the Discovery Health channel -- one of those emergency room things where they are showing you real live stuff. It's real and 100% worse than anythign that's faked on tv.

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
Tim, baby, you kill me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally got the triangle thing, too, and really appreciate getting a strong feel for the central three, instead of no feel for all of them.
Heck, there's times I have to turn away during the operations on Nip/Tuck, that's how much I hate gore.
Oh lord yes. I can never watch that stuff.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It certainly didn't seem all that gory to me. The various L&Os have shown things as graphic, and this didn't wallow in it like CSI. I'm only really grossed out by maggots, though.

I can't watch operations on Nip/Tuck either, but the gore here didn't bother me.
(I've got a friend who doesn't watch Nip/Tuck or c.s.i. but loves to watch those plastic surgery shows on E!, MTV, ABC and anywhere else they show them.)

this. i also think he's going to become way too overprotective of Rebecca and she's going to tell him where to go.
