Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

What is even happening?

I think my M just does V, only because P-C's post above is the first I've heard of Rob's Sally explanation (at least, as far as I can remember), and I was always fine with it. I never got why people thought Sally was going to pay off.

If Cassidy had said, "Remember that goldfish!" that would have been, kind of, different. By using a specific name, you're arousing viewer interest, viewers who will expect to, eventually, find out who Sally is.
I don't know. I mean I understand your point as pertains to fiction, in the general sense, but this was a two second scene, wasn't it? What episode was Cassidy's Sally reminder from, anyhow?

Because books.

The one at Magic Mountain.

Don't get me wrong -- I nitpick because I love. It's like the brilliant student who only turns in B- papers -- when you *know* he can turn in A+ work.

"Sally" may have been a throwaway, or been meant to be one, but I get why viewers demanded to know what it meant. It's a name. It sounded like it had meaning, given the way Dick reacted. To never explain that? Is lazy. Or at least proof of not a lot of forethought.

Oh, duh. The thing I said, like, 3 posts back.

I have no brain today at all, I swear.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I missed last night's broadcast, but yay for the online version!!

A criminology department, though? @@

My sis has a BS in criminal justice from Univ. of Memphis. She took law classes and CSI-kinda stuff (among other things, I don't know what all).

Me neither. I'm also overly anxious (not in the anxiety attack sense, just in I'm-out-of-sorts mentally/physically/emotionally sense). I think I'd better go blurt about that in LJ though, because 39 year old angst just doesn't play the same as 19 year old angst.

Weird -- I am, too. It's a combination of being too tired and, I think, delayed impact from the stress of The Boy's pharmaceutical adventures. I feel jittery and yet exhausted and also tense, and I feel like an Ativan and a joint would do me a WORLD of good.

Sadly, I have neither Ativan nor a joint.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I need to rewatch the ep. I have it recorded from last night and I'd like to see if full sized on my television. Then I can form new thoughts.

I don't have a joint or Ativan, either.

Lately, I feel like this most days.

And I have neither, too. Which sucks.
