If I only had a brain...

Of course, Allyson does want a pony.

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'd settle for dinner. Um, not of roasted ponymeat.

Trust my rage

Getting back to Point of Origin for a moment, I agree with P-C that this episode makes more sense later. For one thing, it's way creepier now that he's apparently not dead. I guess I sort of don't get the Paul-Rebecca-Web pull. It's sort of obvious that she's being pulled between them (and may have to choose one of them?) but I don't really get what they are pulling over. To make Rebecca more like them? Manipulative or more honest? It's interesting to me - I want to know more about Web. I'm surprised how much more I am enjoying this show. I can't tell if it's just gotten a lot better or if I'm in a different place and can now enjoy it more. Either way, I like it and it's too bad that it's almost over.

Re: Point of Origin

I agree about the Ice Cream Man, that reveal works a lot better after Little Girl Lost. However, just about everything else in the episode feels wrong this late. Becky and how she relates to people and her memories, that doesn't fit in this late in the season. Not after the last few episodes.

Can I just bitch for a second? Where the hell is Tim's Screenwriting Expo DVD? It's been like, 4EVAH. And the dude promised it would come out in March. It's now April.

WANT. NOW.

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

Nicklas, I agree. Like I said, until the end, I felt this episode made more sense before. But as someone pointed out, the fact that this is supposed to be her "moving on" point wouldn't necessarily gel with her hallucinations in "Little Girl Lost." So I'm not really sure.
