Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I do hope that Duncan doesn't evaporate from the storylines.

So, I figured out that the fortune was the one from the premiere on the second time through. This is what I get for being proud of being smart.

I do not know: 1) When PI-guy came onboard 2) Whether Mama Kane was involved (I'm leaning toward "no") 3) What Kendall was told

I'm also wondering where Duncan's going and what Astrid and PI-guy's stories are going to be when they get back.

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

1) When PI-guy came onboard

When Veronica handed him that "Private and Confidental" note.

2) Whether Mama Kane was involved (I'm leaning toward "no")

I missed it, but apparently Vinnie says something like, "You pay better than your mom," so no.

3) What Kendall was told

I think Duncan invited her (as if he were accepting her offer for sex) in order to be caught by Veronica, and thus explain the breakup to her and anyone she would talk to.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I want to be the first to point out the TWOP and Lost shout-outs.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When Veronica handed him that "Private and Confidental" note.

I think earlier. Veronica's interaction with him in Lamb's office seemed to indicate that. I can't quite explain why, but the facial expressions, and the way the weird hand signals were going back and forth, seemed to me like he was already in on it and she was trying to figure out why he was there. Plus, there was something fishy going on with that pen, and he was weirdly specific about saying how he'd have Duncan "72 hours from now."

That's why I'm thinking no, along with my reasoning for why I think he was involved earlier. Someone else I was talking to was saying yes, because she's the only way Astrid could have gotten involved, since Duncan isn't living at home anymore and wouldn't have contact with her.

There's also a Cupid shout-out and a me shout-out.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Sheriff Lame need commupance badly.

What was the P-C shoutout?

Wallace's use of the word "emo." It's from an e-mail I sent to Rob the day he began writing the script.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It would make me so much happier if they'd at least TOKEN made reference to some of the expected issues...

Yeah, no kidding.

Also, how long was it supposed to be since Meg's death and the baby's birth? Was the baby supposed to be full-term, and not a NICU preemie? Do you know how hard it is to suspend disbelief when you're familiar enough with baby sizes and development to start wondering these things? Also, do you know how hard it is to pay attention to the story when LL is hot like fucking burning?

Though, of course, as I watched this whole thing while wrangling Lillian, I got the baby scenes in smellovision.
