Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
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.
Next week looks pretty interesting!
Oh yeah. Big time creepy.
I was thinking maybe Locke's profile implied that the tension with the guilt would drive him to kill to feel normal.
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'?
Matt, you are correct, in my opinion anyway.
Rebecca's lack of affect is what I like about her. And probably what I don't like about Paul, come to think of it.
I enjoyed that. It was sort of a Vachss story from the other side.
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?
Gosh, Tim, you sound so conflicted about it. If only I could tell which option you'd prefer.
I'll be here for a while. I can wait.
OK, Emily -- I'll just say this, and I don't know how to white font, so here it is: my feeling was that Roger was one of several possibles Marty had been watching. He probably had already concluded that Roger would be a kiddie raper/killer (like that dude in San Diego -- ugh), but maybe would not have acted on Roger at this stage. He wanted to make a point to Rebecca, and after hacking her computer and learning who she was, he chose one off the menu that would resonate with her. That's all, really.
Definitely liked that one a lot more than the previous two. Don't know if it was the "New and Improved" pacing or what. I do think the fact that we got to know the Pre-Filer and have him be an interesting character helped, whereas previously the killer was more or less faceless until the reveal (if that makes any sense) helped a lot.
