Grandmum won't eat with the double-speak!

ha! this proves my inner monologue disagreeing with my morning radio show about women not relating to each other(or others) by using movie/tv quotes.

In response to IAmNotReallyASpring's point, I'm just going to import something ita just said in BoxedSet, in response to some sci-fi critique:

I think the guy forgets that humans are the ones consuming the stories, and that fiction has...mechanisms. Sometimes emotional impact is the point, not equations.

I care much more that VM taps into the emotional through-lines in a given episode. For me, the mystery is the device, I think, more than the point.

Oh, criminy.

You love jumping on me, don't you.

but I hated that last voice-over about how Veronica has now learned to be more trusting and forgiving, which was worst kind of tell-not-show resolution. I felt like I was watching bloody 7th Heaven, not VM.

But... But... South Park shoutout!

Getting back to the urban legend running gag 150 posts back -- I know the tale of the woman selling her (ex-)husband's Porche (or whatever) for cheap, but when was this referenced on VM?

the episode with Richard Grieco, 3x05 President Evil.

Is there an episode summary that mentions the relevant scene? Senility appears to be setting in.

I know that this will put me in a sparse minority but I'm in it for the weekly mysteries. I've never been all that emotionally invested in the characters and that's something I'm half grateful for; characters on this show get trampled on for the concerns of the plot and more than a few of the stories' emotional wells have been properly explored so I'm partially glad I haven't had to trade off. Like, I encountered once, here perhaps, someone saying 'Wasn't 'Clash of the Tritons great?' and I thought 'Yeah, it was.' And then when they went on to add 'Weren't those counselling sessions intense?', I can remember thinking 'There were counselling sessions in it?' 'Blast from the Past', 'Versatile Toppings', 'My Big Fat Greek Rush Week', 'Like A Virgin', 'Driver Ed': these are my people and they're my people because they were such intricately and gracefully made mechanisms.

It's where Piz finds London Calling on vinyl for 99 cents.

Thanks P-C! I remember thinking of High Fidelity.

I'm so sorry, P-C. I didn't want it to come across like a jump. The Dru line just came to my head.
