What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What's the name of the episode?

"The Perfect Couple."

As Jackal said above, it did have a "Lonely Hearts" vibe, although the thematics were completely different. But before I get any further, a message for VM fans: Mr. Pope!! He's only in the teaser for, like, a minute, but it's Mr. Pope!!

I also liked what Strega mentioned, the fact that we follow the killers. As I said before, that's one of the cool things about the show, is that it's as much about the killers as it is about the crimes. Some nice twists and turns.

I'm wondering now what possibly-unintentionally-funny-but-actually-was-intentionally-funny thing Strega and Tim were talking about. Was it "You sank our battleship!"? Because...heh.

What was kind of weird was that Roddy looked a hell of a lot like the killer in "Little Girl Lost."

Does Carter ever get, like, a storyline? Or...a character?

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

I made up my own storyline for Carter. He was once in Gunn's gang and took a correspondence course in website design. He turned his attention from poppin a cap in yo ass to the theme music "Gangsta's Paradise" to hacking, after seeing that movie with Angela Bassett.

I'll buy that!

Strange Days was a pretty weird movie.

P-C, yes! I noticed Mr. Pope! I guess he really never gets that boat.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I have a friend who has apparently read the pilot script for Drive. her exact words? "Oh yeah... I'm so in love with this pilot. Wanna start the betting now on how long it takes FOX to break my heart?"

we are such a jaded lot.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Polite Stompy Request:

Could folks please not post torrents or direct links to torrents for copyrighted materials in the threads on this site? It's not that we want to stifle access to the episodes that weren't broadcast in the States, but we don't want the board to be a vehicle for something that is undoubtedly illegal. We are not a torrent site, and have no intention to become one.

If you want to discuss the availability of torrents for specific episodes, that's fine. However, if you want to provide someone with a link to the torrent or the torrent itself, we ask that you do it back channel.

"Oh yeah... I'm so in love with this pilot. Wanna start the betting now on how long it takes FOX to break my heart?"

I always remain hopeful.

ETA: Is too much.
