Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

OH, and my early guess when we saw the pre-filer watching the team was that one of them was on his list. dum dum DUM!

Mine too and it put some more life into the evil little worm in my head that if the prefiler was indeed as adept as he seemed at profiling, that well, maybe one of them should be on the list. Or was very close to being.

Then the possibly-creepy-kid misdirected me again. I'm easily led.

For a good while, I thought that the older of the two kids was the one being targeted. I was completely misdirected by the bit with the video game and his pulling a toy gun on Danny. When the missing cat was mentioned, my first assumption was that the kid had done something to it.

Okay so I'm not so evil in thinking these same exact thoughts too. I was convinced too, until the girl mentioned Roger having her cat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I will mention one person who does seem to get it... of course he's had a chance to see more than the critics, and that's Peter Liguori, the pres of the network.

Given what he did for Arrested Development, and how he sheperded shows at FX, I now love this guy.

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 like her fuckedupedness and see her as a compelling Red Riding Hood with a push-knife hidden in her basket.

Hee. I mentioned this the other day, that she should be wearing a wee red hood.

Fantastic episode. When Martin survived I said to my wife, "now Clarice has her Hannibal." And I meant it in a good way. I really hope we see him again.

And that wordless scene with Adam teaching the kid how to hold a gun? Priceless.

We didn't drop at all from last week and we grew on the half hour. And no stars were dancing -- on our show, I mean. Stars were dancing elsewhere. Nevermind.

I think you need a serial killer who kills celebrities. You can have celebrity cameos and the network would pimp the shit out of it and your numbers would be through the roof.

How about a killer who makes the VCU team dance and sing?

They should model it on AMERICAN IDOL and have the public vote on which celebrities get killed.
