Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

TAR: I LOVED the Camel harness racing -- that was a blast. I was pretty amazed that Gretchen and Meredeth didn't seem more tired. I guess that they did have a good 12 hours to rest up. Kelly really needs a cluesticking.

Also, I agree with everyone that Joyce looks beautiful bald and that Uchenna was so lovely while she was upset. They are one of the few couples where you feel like they're getting stronger as they go on.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh, I think Gretchen and Meredith are just about at the end of their rope--they're actually snapping at each other meaningfully now. (Not horrifyingly, but with real irritation.) That said, one of the things I like about them is that even though they do look pretty wiped, they look genuinely happy when they discover they haven't been eliminated. They want to keep going.
I feel like I shouldn't've liked Lynn and Alex as much as I did, because really they were kind of asses. But I did, and I'm sorry to see them go. Ron and Kelly continue to do nothing for me; Joyce and Uchenna are lovely human beings who aren't very good at navigation; and Rob and Amber are the best racers there, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Oddly, I discovered that I like Rob a lot more when he stops trying to play cute and starts looking stressed and snappish. All of a sudden I didn't want to throttle him all of the time.

GG was enh for me last night. people's voices seemed a bit off.
It was weird. The whole Paris begging for change thing. WTF, and how was that resolved? I may have FFed past it, but did she just stay out there?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
it wasn't resolved - they never showed her again. Not a tight episode.

Hey, have we heard from Jeff lately? How's he doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was also made twitchy by the seeds they planted for Luke and Lorelai's next fallout -- is he good enough (cue the return of the babyfather) and should he buy the house and prep for a family (will he tell her first, or will it be an expensive surprise?). But I didn't watch much previous to this season, so I don't know if it's in character.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
And the thing with Dean was weird, too: Lorelei's been in Star's Hollow for what, 20 years? Rory may want bigger and better things, but Lorelei? Is Dean really that stupid? I really hope they're not actually meaning that as any kind of foreshadowing or cause for insecurity for Luke, cause... not.
