Perkins, I think it's wrong. I mean the thing that we learn. Then it's also weird, the thing that the woman says. Not that we're not all thinking it.
I may need to rewatch, since I don't really understand your comment.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm not sure which of us Annabel prefers at this point. I'd say it's 50-50. She gratifies Dylan with her bouncey glee every night when he gets home from work, but puts on a similar performance for me if I disappear for any length of time. Heck, sometimes she'll jump for joy if one of us comes back from getting the mail in or taking the trash out, which is gratifying to the ego. And what she really loves is having all three of us together, especially the bedtime ritual of the Family Hug.
It helps, of course, that she's a self-sufficient child, on the whole, good at playing by herself.

Strega--got and responded and thanks.
Lillian, after falling asleep in a hilarious (had I been dressed in something other than an open bathrobe, we'd have taken pictures) position on my lap during VMars, has decided that no, it wasn't quite bedtime.
She's being pretty cute though, the weirdo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that Warrick's marriage is wrong (stress induced marriage to a short term girlfriend), and that it's very weird for Cat to tell him about her fantasies of him. Not that everyone doesn't have them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ah. Yes, I agree.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Franny's parental preferences are directly related to what she wants to do, although I tend to think she prefers Daddy, but I'm a close second. I'd say Daddy's more fun, and way easier to manipulate, but I'm the one she goes to for TLC. But with the baby there is no question that I'm the favorite. Sigh. It doesn't last forever, so I'm enjoying it while I can.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm undecided, if I want it to end well. Or, what well really is.Exactly. I'm not sure I want the happy ending. The tension is fun, but I don't know if I buy it yet. There was interesting tension but I haven't bought into it yet.
Still, the ring is sexy.

Sometimes very wrong things are sexy. Like the new kid on Desperate Housewives (not a spoiler, since he was in the end of S1). Now, it's on my resume that I have nothing against the younger men. That kid is exactly what catches my eye in a younger guy, but it's key that he's young. I mean, that's part of what makes that particular intense, relaxed and thoughtful persona more than just "nice." It's blisteringly attractive in a teenager.
I know that's supposed to be wrong, but I have, as an adult, been attracted to 17 year olds before, and since I was past 30 at the time, I can't be sure it won't happen again. It's just that it was a legal attraction at the time, since it was in Michigan. And I really didn't do anything about it other than make good friends.
Now, the 18 year old ... a whole 'nother ballgame.

Silence means security silence means approval
No cable. Can't get UPN in clearly. Can't watch show. ABC doesn't come in well, either. Can't watch other show.
You know, there's supposed to be super-cheap super-basic cable offered in Seattle per the franchise agreement. $12 or so per month for the channels on the uppermost tier (all the local affiliates, Discovery, NWCN). Probably still out of your price range, but oh well.
When I lived in the Rainier Valley, we got one of these for our TV and got everything pretty well (and Beacon Hill was blocking 4, 5, and 7 from us line-of-sight). If you're going to go without cable, a unidirectional antenna is a must in this city.

Sometimes very wrong things are sexy.Sometimes?
It's not my biggest bragging point, but wrong can figure prominently into what is sexy. As can the 17-year-old version of *wrong* at times.
The wrong and the theoretical danger adds to the hotness.
