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

I want Clemmons to replace the dean, and I don't care how contrived it is.

That would be so entirely awesome.

What is even happening?

Kristin Veitch (Wanda) at e.online has a post-finale interview with Rob posted. There aren't any *real* spoilers in it. He does 'clarify' something about the Dean's plot, last night, that will incidentally answer a question for you, but it wasn't a question he intended us to have, in the first place. Also, she asks him about the future of V/L and he gives an answer, but it's vague, what you would expect (and vague), and shouldn't surprise anyone.

The interesting part of the interview, is that he is considering changing the mystery arc format, yet again. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Today's probably not the best day to judge.

The interview is here: [link] It's two pages. CAVEAT LECTOR: There's a non-character-specific Scrubs season 6 spoiler in the links sidebar, on the righthand side, and an even more vague Heroes reference (I don't even know if it's a spoiler, and I watch Heroes).

Um, we were able to lock our dorm room doors from the outside at NYU. Because when no one was in the room, our stuff was otherwise fair game, you know?
Sure, you can lock every door from the outside. You usually can't lock someone in when you're doing that, though. For instance, if you went out, when your roomie was asleep, and you locked the door, your roomie wasn't stuck, was she?

::cringes::

When do I get my brains back again? When all three children are grown and gone? Because that's a long time to wait...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I am not psyched about the idea of scrapping longer mysteries in favor of standalone eps.

an even more vague Heroes reference

It's not a spoiler if you've heard any of the promos.

Okay, Rob makes a reference to [about perceptions of the show, not the plot] the awful Entertainment Weekly review. What review is this? I thought the show was still adored by the critics . Anyone?

Hee. Yeah, that was fun times. It's mostly notable for being a major publication that steadfastly complained about the resolution to the rape mystery. Yes, this professional critic who writes television reviews thought the arc was over last week.

It is adored, but the asshat thought 3.08 was the last episode in the rape arc, in other words--thought the resolution was Chip getting raped and the fems shrugging.

eta...

Off what Jon said, I'd like to see short mysteries, but not weekly ones, because honestly, I don't think the writers are that good with coming up with the stand alones.

I'm thinking I'd enjoy a lot of two and three parters, with maybe the occasional 4 parter. It doesn't sound like that's on the menu, but I think it's time to bring back the old, "To be continued..."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm not interested in watching Veronica Mars She Wrote. Give me 3-5 ep length mysteries.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The door thing is simple -- Mercer and or Moe swapped out the standard dorm lock in favor of one that you can lock(/unlock) on both sides with a key. So all that Moe had to do to lock V. in was take the key that stays in the inside lock out, lock it from the outside, and there she was.
