Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Honestly, I have no idea why Point Pleasant needs to be in New Jersey. From the description, I can't see a reason why it can't be Point Pleasant, CA.

Yeah, aside from the "New Jersey" signs, one or two mentions of it, and the fact that the gas station was full service, making this New Jersey made no sense at all. (That whitefont is really not a spoiler at all.)

Re: Alias. So Ice 5 is basically Illyria in injectable form .

Yeah, sarameg, I thought that was actually really well done. I bought that sort of instant emotional intimacy between her and Vaughn, which made her death actually mean something .

Also? The eybal crystallization reminded me of the Fred-to-Illyria transformation.

Jesse, I KNOW! Like Alias. DC Metro !=LA metro!

Just stage them in LA and leave it. So much easier. And besides, their weird schedule and job hopping would blend perfectly with Hollywood (apologies to all LAistas.)

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

Are you cracking wise about our banks???

Dear lord, where is my pizza?

I think I'm very susceptible to that scenario. I'm not bad, I'm just stuck and ahhhhhrg DEAD

The Fred thing didn't occur to me. But oh yeah. Did I mention I sobbed to the point of puffy face the next morning on that? Cause I did.

I think Jen and I are sharing the same brain tonight.

Your pizza is being delivered to your neighbor. No, I just mean, they could say bank but...OK. Yeah. Got me. But STILL! DC is conservative (timewise).

DC Metro !=LA metro!

Which was bugging Kat and I so we rewatched - and I'm not sure where the confusion started from, but the APO scenes, and the fake dismissal scene, were definitely preceded by a Los Angeles title card. So they're fine - supposed to be the LA metro, and IS the LA metro.

Is this payback for Owen Wilson's schlong?

supposed to be the LA metro, and IS the LA metro.

Whuhuh? So is everyone back in LA, all transparent-like?
