'War Stories'
[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.
Which isn't a good enough reason to execute someone.
If she was right, to me, it still wouldn't be a good enough reason. The execution is separate from the guilt, morally.
As for her accuracy -- I'm waiting to be shown she's wrong. Either she's been right, or it's been untestable. I don't have the information to second-guess her. Only Tim does here, so I'm going to leave it be.
Profiling is a guess, not an absolute.
I want there to be an episode where they're all completely wrong a la Gary Ridgeway.
I had the feeling that the pre-filer was altering his standards through the episode. Then he sees and investigates Rebecca, and once he finds out about the kidnapping, pushes her at the pedophile that he's noticed.
So if the FBI still had the de-gloved profiler from the first episode, he would have found a bipolar target to taunt her with.
ahhhhh......Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff.
ahhhhh......Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff.
Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff PORN, thank you very much. Never forget the porn around here.
To conform to the Buffista standard, it should really be Gay Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff Porn.
Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff PORN, thank you very much.
Isn't PORN redundant? Cuz there's not much hope for you if the snuffing of an ice cream sandwich doesn't get you hot and bothered.
To conform to the Buffista standard, it should really be Gay Ice Cream Sandwich Snuff Porn.
Ah.... Ice Cream Sandwich on Ice Cream Sandwich action until they just melt all over each other.....to death, got it.
Just to chime in late on the four-on-the-door issue, the main reason I was pulled out of the scene was I thought to myself "Oh no, not the TV cliche where there's a decoy at the door while the killer sneaks in the back!". The following scenes I kept expecting the killer to show up in the house.
So I'm not sure whether to feel: a) happy, because the writer was smarter than the killer-comes-in-the-back-door cliche, or b) sad, because the characters didn't appear to consider the killer coming in the back door.
All previous posts about possible complicated explanations for their actions are valid, but in the heat of the moment my brain said "somebody think of the back door!" and I saw nothing on screen to satisfy it :)
All in all, a pretty minor nitpick. I was pleased, though I think I liked last week's slightly better.
Here's a question for the (drunken) moment:
Do you guys know anywhere I can gush about this show, hopefully demonstrating my native intelligence, that isn't here or LJ? Nobody actually reads my livejournal, because I don't post much or interestingly, and everybody here is already a Tim fan. I need somewhere else to make my (in my shamelessly arrogant opinion) cogent, strong arguments for the true incedibleness of this show, which may well have already surpassed Veronica Mars as my favorite show of this past year. TWOP seems a lost cause, honestly, and I don't really care to fight the flood in an environment that makes a goal out of being difficult, but if there's any other major forum I could join to fight the good fight, I'd be interested. Though time may not permit as soldierly a battle as I'd like to wage, normally.
ETA: Allyson, please tell me we're not alone in our completely untempered total-and-complete love for this show? I was just reading the SA forums thread about it, and even the Tim lovers who started the thread don't seem to be loving the show so far which just makes me gawk in confusion because SO GOOD DO THEY NOT HAVE THE RIGHT SPICE IN THEIR BRAINS?
