Yeah, it's hard to tell from Wentworth Miller's face when he is completely surprised by something or knew about it all along. This is not always a good thing.

It's a good thing he's so pretty.

During college, when I volunteer tutored in the public schools, the kids always addressed me as Miss or Miss Hillary. (In fact, I'm pretty sure that it was Louisiana state law that school kids in public schools address their teachers either by Title Lastname or Ma'am or Sir.)

Shit. Hope all those kids are OK.

I'm trying to think...Oh, the last line about drag queens playing basketball, better than that, last weekend we had Sugar seen here molesting the mariachi band who wanders in from time to time.

So. Fucking. Surreal.

Yeah, he plays it pretty close to his vest, but I thought it was good. Maybe I was just starring so intently at his face that I was taking every twitch as nuance.

I think you mean Title Firstname, but it's not just teachers, it's adults with whom we are familiar and friendly.

Actually, I was misremembering slightly, and it was a bit of a semi-non-sequitor. What I was trying to remember was this

Students in Louisiana's grade schools will have to address teachers and other officials as "sir" and "ma'am" when they return to class after the summer break. A bill signed this month by Gov. Mike Foster mandates this show of respect

LeN: It was definitely him pulling the trigger. He goes over the story from his POV and you see the same gun, same stroll over to the car, but in his version he never pulls the trigger. He even tells her, "I never pulled the trigger." But it's clear as day on the tape. I really hope it's a plot point, and not just a genuine screwup. But you'd think there'd have been some tip to it, like Veronica running the tape and watching the gun go off with his V.O. going "I never..." Maybe they're saving that for a later episode.

Dude. Here I am, all bitching about my beepme, and I haven't even vibed for Laura's MIL, nor have I lamented the loss of Fay for a while. I suck.

I remember that! I'd already left, but what a bunch of hooey. Honestly, if you want the kids to treat the teachers with respect, don't legislate how they speak to them; start with showing them a little respect yourselves (by which I mean the lege which always seems to be at odds with the union, rather than, you know, listening to the people who interact with the children on a daily basis).

Wolfram, but my question:

was it really HIM who pulled the trigger? That video could have been doctored any number of ways (e.g. he could have been inserted in the videotape, that man may not really be him, or...he could be the Manchurian Candidate, etc.
