Yeah, it's not a bad term. And I don't think of it's use here as homophobic, exactly, just taking advantage of the fact that Lamb would almost certainly be offended to be called homosexual.

I think it's my favorite euphemism for gay men. Also, there were several hilarious uses of it in Arrested Development.

Josh's dad's friend the dad-killer

Did we ever see any part of him other than the back of his head?

And did Michael M really go online after the episode aired and tell his fans how sad and disappointed that TPTB had decided to write off his character?

eh...yes and no. [link] and [link]

I caught up tonight - I have been waaaay behind. But I am in a wierd little fangroup of weel, me. I really like the show- but I find it hard to sit still for some episodes, because I get anxious. Veronica does enough stupid stuff that I am never sure if she is going to be smart or stupid. I was not particularly fond of the rape storyline, but it didn't ping me the way it did others. I think because they( meaning lilith house women) seemed rather unreal. There have been 3 episodes I've really loved. I don't really care how real the episodes are - just as long as they fit in the whole noir thing ( no one is that good, happiness is fleeting ( so grab while you can) , and motivation is always complex) I was fairly sure from the beginning that the coach was a suicide. It made sense from the parell storytelling. I f you have murder that looks like a suicde , than a suicde that looks like a murder makes sense. I will miss Lamb, but assholes are a dime a dozen on this show. and I just didn't see his character doing more than he has.

unworthy of Wallace

I didn't understand the joke, but I am not sure where it is 'unworhty' of him. Wallace is a pretty decent kid, but he isn't perfect. I think I've met just enough people that are fairly nice, but will come out with some sort of insult that is beyond the pale. ( or is it beyond the paiL?)

"Beyond the pale" is the phrase.

Any last minute spec? I'll put my kittens on Lucky Tim, but I'm not feeling it too strongly.

I have no clue...

My money's also on Tim, but I can't come up with a good reason why. It's mostly just that I've got a decent reason why not for everyone else.

Oh, Mindy O'Dell is English. . . isn't that the tv signal for evil?

Plus, there's the whole buying a boat with her new Insurance Money.

(Wonder why Tim hates the Dean. . . that could be his motive.)

I'm still not watching. Scott is doing some workn so we're going to watch it late. I still can't see a reason for Tim making the scene at the frat party in episode 9. He'd have access to Landry's stuff and he has an edge to him. Also, I thought it was curious that his girlfriend was the one in the preg episode. Those are my only reasons.

I'm getting impatient to watch. I'd better high tail it out of here so I don't spoil myself at the last minute.
