Okay, Tim, tell me. I was thinking maybe Locke's profile implied that the tension with the guilt would drive him to kill to feel normal. Is that right, or was he not an incipient killer?
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oooh, Wonderfalls housekeeper in next week's ep!

I was just thinking that!
That, and how apropos Fox News's leadin is tonight.

This show is like crack...I can't wait for next week's ep.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
I liked this episode a lot more than the first two. The pace seemed faster, and there were more jokes. I like jokes.
That little girl in next week's episode looks familiar. Was she in an episode of CSI? Or maybe it was SVU...
Edit: I'm good. She was in both.

Because books.
Next week looks pretty interesting!
Oh yeah. Big time creepy.

I'm not sure if she meant killing, or molesting. Because her kidnapper didn't kill her, but he clearly molested her -- and I think that was why Manning wanted her involved. He wanted to see her rage.

I suppose. I don't really know anything about the subject, I was just trying to reconcile it with the Prefiler's other victims.
Aaaand, I completely forgot to tape for vw.

Okay, Emily, should I spill my theory or wait until the west coast airs and let people have at it like last week with the "you'll be stronger" debate, which was exactly the kind of debate I was hoping for?

So Tim, am I correct in my take that Rebecca's last line to Martin was not a sign of her deciding to do the right (or at least by the book) thing, but of coldly deciding that he deserved the option that would involve longer-term suffering and the poetic justice of being unable to punish his own urges the way he did others'?
