Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's been good staring. And bedroom voice.

As for Typhoid Mary, I'm not Mary -- my sister is. Which makes no sense if you're not us, but there you go.

Wait, I think she was Mary.

I like being patient zero. Counting from zero is cool.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Who is this Demetri Martin? He was funny.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Demetri Martin! Fabulous stand-up who also is on Conan's writing staff. A joke of his that I remember:

"I always wanted to live near Carnegie Hall. That way when people asked me how to get to my house, I could say 'practice, practice, practice, make a left.'"

My best friend bitches that there's not enough personal development on Prison Break. Well, there's not enough sex either, but what can you do? Can't rely on one show for everything.

Question: did Scofield's "wife" mess things up by telling the guard about the credit card? What's the card for?

Synopsis: LJ and the lawyers are on the run, the guy's been shot. They've added another guy (the old one with the dead cat who's really who Scofield accused him of being) and are breaking out in four days. Scofield had a conjugal so he could be slipped a credit card. Sarah doesn't trust him now that she thinks he's married.

So sad.

The card was disguised to get into the closet with all the prisoners' stuff. ETA What the hell is with everyone not figuring out what the brother of a death row inmate is doing? He gets married the day before the armed robbery, that piques your suspicion-- what else could he possibly be up to? I guess the fact that he and his brother spend hours alone together completely ameliorates any suspicion.

Since PB is supposed to take place over a few weeks, I dunno how much personal devt could take place. I guess Scofield is less naive.

Overall this ep kinda bugged since it was a lot of completely pointless plot development-- like Scofield *now* doubts Westmoreland is DB Cooper? And seriously Tancredi felt it necessary to confront Scofield over the fact that she lusts after him-- oh, I'm sorry, I mean they flirt. And yeah on hitting the guy with a chair, although I loved that they left him down the well. I figure every episode has a dead body by the end of it, so far.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, the friend pointed out she had a movie script that took place in real time, and people developed in it. But still. I did argue that Scofield has changed, and I do think that LJ is very different. Also, does dying count as development? Lots of that.

I think Scofield bought the DB Cooper alibi, myself. I'm disappointed by the day before wedding. That's really sloppy, and she didn't even put up much of a fight. He's been tighter than that most of the time. The doctor confronting him struck me as realistic stinging on her part, and I'm figuring that the alienation will either affect the pragmatics of their escape, or what he does after he gets out.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Happy Birthday, Sumi!

Strawberry disappointment.

It has to be a man-made excavation. With corners.

Having watched Time Team for years I can tell you that a sondage is a small exploratory trench used in archaeology.
