TAR: The next seasonPhil in black leather! MMMMMMMM!

The spider that bit me was very pretty, but it didn't make it into the lab until after attacking me. Like, the day after. I explained to my mother that if it was going to kill me, I'd be dead before she got it looked at.

She seemed unconcerned.

Still, in comparison to having your planet or your parents killed, spider-biting seemed so infintely doable.

TAR: OK, I would have totally rocked that first hour! Well, up to the locks--that's up to the Key Gods. But, as soon as that first clue said to go to Xi'an, I was all, "OMG! They're going to see the Terra Cotta Army!" and would have gotten all the info I could on the museum before leaving Shanghai. Also? I would have gotten some Chinese language clues from the Peace Hotel during the rest stop, on how to say, "Please," "Thank you," and "Faster!"

I had stayed too long in the TWoP spoiler forum after TAR5 finished, so I already knew about them returning to Chicago, but the spoiler also said that Adam and Rebecca won--I'm so glad to see that was wrong! Also, half a Gino's pizza (we have a Natter theme for the day, I see!) is not all that hard to eat; Kendra's a wimp. Admittedly a rich one now, but still a wimp. I had no clue where that park was, and I wasn't surprised to see that the cabbie didn't either, although the dispatcher should have been able to find it. Finally, I thought it rather ironic that a train should have been Kris and Jon's downfall, since it was the train that made Chicago back in the mid-1800s.

TAR: They should've had to find an empty space to write some graffiti in Gino's. That would've slowed them down.

Wait, just catching up on The O.C. from the past two weeks.

I have to say, My Seth is rocking AGAIN! The scene where Summer in in her Summer Costume? So good. So much love still. The only sad making part is this: The Seth does NOT make up for Marissa/Alex.

Aurelia--they were in the wrong Gino's for that, unfortunately. I'm thinking that they chose the more out-of-the-way location to avoid civilians figuring out what was going on.

Kathy, it was the one on Ontario.

Really? I thought I heard the cabbie say Wells, and the front door definitely didn't look like the one off of Michigan Ave, which is the only one I've been to in the city.

It's at the corner of Wells and Ontario. You may be talking about the old location. They moved about 5 years ago.

Okay, random, ita, did you see that Orlando Bloom and Colin Ferrell were spotted together having breakfast together. And that Orlando has broken up with Kate Bosworth.
