On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I didn't see that coming. Well done Web, you magnificent bastard.

Thrive to spite them

I snickered at "you're probably right" because that's what Mom says when someone is trying to correct her/being annoying and she's blowing them off.

Oh, yeah. This was all about how being "weak" and a "victim" can be turned on it's head. So, it's all about Rebecca.

Web is truly a magnificent bastard. He's rapidly becoming one of my favorite... um... villains?

"Don' be e-scared"

Matt, that last moment came out of a conversation I had with the director, Nick Gomez. I had always assumed it was Web's invisible hand... but he said to me "so Rebecca was the one who paged him, right?" And I was like, "be right back."

That totally caught me by surprise, Tim. I was going with Web, also.

I like it better with Rebecca doing it.

Okay, so I watched last week's with vwbug just beforehand (because she falls asleep at about 9:10) and found myself wondering -- why couldn't Web tell her why he was putting her on the train?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, and the network standards people even made me cut a shot of Strong's belt being whipped off. So, not even all that graphic in any way.

Do we think that was because he was raping a man? Seems I've seen that gesture plenty. (But maybe not on television?)
