Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'd be much more down with chargers being implied had we not seen 2 of the characters get the phones in the way they did.

Now I want there to have been a bit in the post-orientation scene where he gets a charger, which everyone else got at the orientation.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So based on that, we're looking at a series of races, with a defined start and finish, that have been ongoing since the beginning of cars.

Forty-two cars at Jupiter. If only one is eliminated every...so often, that's still a lot of competitors to winnow.

Oh, and fiery ball of death crashes: 1, 2 victims, if we are allowed to count flashbacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I figure that's got to be the case, more often than not. I mean, if someone's getting handed a gun at the first checkpoint?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

If you kill off all the competitors, limits the evidence. Also, say it's been going for 60 years -- that's, what, $1920m they've given out if somebody wins each year?

They take out life insurance on the competitors?

Bwah. Yes, and I hope Web is, in fact, running the proceedings.

Greg, director. He was doing it from Nathan's house last night form the par-tay. (Er, I read that on Whedonesque I think it was)
