Oh my.
Seems to me to be a very polite fuck-you to his wife, or whatever.
Or maybe he knew it might not have been his before the baby was born?
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Wow. That's... huh. That's a bad day, is what that is.
When did we lose "brontosaurus"?!?
Um, 1980s sometime, I think? The paleontological community decided that the apatosaurus and the brontosaurus were the same animal, and since the apatosaurus had been named first, it won.

Which goes to show you how bad decisions get made. They should have asked the legion of first-graders who knew brontosaurus, but had never heard of apatosaurus! Then we wouldn't have had to give up brontosaurus, and life would be peachy.
Allyson, that's the saddest thing I've heard in a day of sad things.

Art Crawl!!!
Allyson, that is too bad.
Kat & Jesse: GA, I totally thought at the end of last season that she was going to get an abortion -- thus the appointment with the clinic that she mentioned to Meredeth. I'm guessing that she totally intends to keep the appointment, but of course, there is no way that they would ever allow this to go smoothly nor would there be any chance that Burke would never know and thus, next week's episode.

They also could have asked Fred Flintstone. What's he gonna eat at the drive-in, now that brontosaurus burgers are no more?

T-Rex T-Bones?
Wait. They wouldn't have those at a drive-in.
Damn. I can't shake the sad about that poor girl. I keep thinking about her and feeling awful for her loved ones.

Those look good, Raq!
I agree, the first half of TAR was kind of boring, there isn't much excitement to be had when you have to follow 36 people driving 9 SUVs -- not enough time to spend with any, or develop much suspense, and you don't even have that much exotic scenery. :-)
Also, the early legs are the ones where the incautious, over-excited, easily-fatigued, or stupid (take your pick) get weeded out as they misread maps and forget to heed important clues written out in plain English.
As for the specific episode, I think they got lost looking FOR 86, rather than ON 86 (or was it 83?) -- anyway, if I caught it right, the correct direction to go was WEST on 30 to hook up with the right highway, rather than EAST, since it stands to reason that you go east from PA to get to DC -- you do... eventually.
In conclusion: Map reading skillz are important. So is having other people on your team double-check the maps and the clues.

Gah. I studied hard. I want to take it for him. Um.

Heh. I don't think that's allowed, Cindy. Besides, I don't think you'll pass disguised as a small boy....
I can't remember ever learning how to read maps -- I wonder if that's why so many people are map-illiterate, they never had it explained to them.
