Hmph.
My thoughts exactly. (Not about Aidan, but about my inability to see said episode)
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I loved "Aidan" enough to immediately rewatch it once the episode ended. Big thumbs up to the feel good dead baby episode. I felt empty afterwards, though, knowing that I couldn't just turn on my TV for another episode the following week.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Tamara ... further up there's a link to a site where you can download a copy. Not sure how they got it or where it was shown but it's great great great.
Tim ... any word on whether the show has been sold overseas (specifically, Australia)? As for "Aidan" ... I thought it was terrific but then I've been blown away by every episode.
btw ... did "Sharon" find it funny that her "mother" was the killer? :)

I may have to seize the cat.
Tim, I loved it. I wanted to have intelligent critique, but now all I've got is, "Gooooooood. Mooooorrrrrreeeeeeeee." I do remember that I liked seeing Rebecca's awkwardness in social situations yet again. One of the things that makes her really endearing to me is how very much she is more comfortable with ideas than with people.
Also, am I the only one who, at first, said, "Oh, it was totally Celeste. Celeste Kane did it!"

You all saw "Aidan?" Awesome. I wanna know -- what'd you think?
It was pretty fucked up. The "dead baby" description is accurate, though the episode really isn't that gory. As usual, the disturbingness is all abstract. I don't know about the "feel-good" part. I wasn't jumping for joy, though I get what you meant. I love all the mind games the characters play.

You know you weren't. Heh.

What is even happening?
I don't download stuff so if it doesn't get to DVD, I will never see Tim kill my husband. That seems wrong, somehow.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tim, I loved it. It gave me the creeps.
I'm glad that you didn't show the doll's foot sticking out of the dead woman. I'm pretty unskeevable, but it would've been... I dunno, gratuitous, I guess. The cop's horrified reaction got the point across.
I love Rebecca, and her inability to quite "get" human social responses. When Mel's talking about how Web should have kept Paul off this case, and Rebecca said so innocently, "Because he's a detriment to the investigation" or something like, she looks so sad when Mel chides her and she realizes she's never going to be like them. Perhaps one day, Rebecca will be Web.
