And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I buy that she could skin one of her own hands, but the idea of then using the skinless hand to do the other and half of her face is hard to swallow.

resists urge to use the phrase "hand-waving"

you know what - seeing it on the show last night - completely fine.

discussing it like this and making me actually THINK about it - making me want to kinda puke.

Thanks Tim, you should have sent out motion sickness bags in the press kit to make fun of the gore-o-phobic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Were both hands skinned? I thought only the right hand was skinned (which was the clue that she'd done it herself, because all the other victims had had their left hands skinned, and Alvarez, being left-handed, couldn't do that).

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

The minute I typed about it (and was therefore extra hand-conscious) DEAR GOD THAT'S NASTY.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

"I know all your problems" made up for the cheese of "forged in pain" (which also did work for Web the Puppet Master.) Also, now I want to know ALL their problems-and my money's on Transvestite!Danny (imagine the action figure). Hee.

The triangle's very interesting to me. Both the Sainted one and the PM see Rebecca as a tabula rasa-what happens when she decides she should be the one writing on it. Will she be able to? Or will the imprint of others be too strong to overcome (easily)?

I did almost ralph along with Rebecca in the morgue.

I'm still thinking about this show morning after. Good sign.

Congrats, Tim.

I think the "forged in pain" line worked a lot better in context than it did in the ads. Still, not my favorite line.

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 buy that she could skin one of her own hands, but the idea of then using the skinless hand to do the other and half of her face is hard to swallow.

Speaking as a head case, the absolute lowest part of depression is disassociation, where you're floating outside of yourself, and it's like watching yourself in a movie.

There's no pain, nothing at all, and it allows you to do terrible things to hurt yourself. I'm unsure how physically she could continue to hold the knife even in that state, but I'll suspend disbelief for both that, and Marg's stiletto heeled investigatory fuck me boots on CSI.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's how you know I don't mind cliches -- I LOVED the four of them walking up to the first scene, in their FBI suits and shit.
