I just find myself drawn to NF when he clenches his jaw and flares his nostrils. It's the nostril flare of righteous indignation or something. I tried to explain to DH, and he just laughed. I'm not sure DH would ever flare his nostrils to save me. He says he would, and that he'd throw in a growl, but I'm not sure I'm convinced.

What are those lizards that flare out their neck frills when they're irritated? It's like that.

I'm just now watching the episode and, well, am I mistaken in thinking that the car from Fillion's past is the same one from Vanishing Point? Scrappy? Frank? David? Jessica? Anyone?

I really hope tonight's numbers are better. I like the show. My husband likes the show. My 9 year old likes it.

NF is hot as hell in this. It's like the role was written specifically for him.

Yes, I believe that was mentioned in the USA Today article linked to upthread.

That look at the end was priceless. I want a screencap. And to spend a night in a motel with Alex Tully.

Yes, I believe that was mentioned in the USA Today article linked to upthread.

As soon as they showed it, I said "electric centaur!"

Whoo! Man, I miss being a West Coaster with East Coast channels. So I could watch with the East and then watch again with the West.

Still liking it, still having fun. I love how all the characters have their buckle-down, drop-the-facade personas at beck and call.

I'll give Tim some time to develop character before I start talking feminism. You hear that, close to the earth boy?

Even realizing what the deal was at the end, it was still shocking to me to see the back of the set that was the interrogation room. Wish that actor had been a little better; I thought the transition could have been more subtly done.

I lay you money that Winston's backstory isn't what he claims it to be, either. I bet the brothers are more alike than Sean thinks they are.

Love the show.

Love it.

Hung-up-on-my-sister-in-the-middle-of-good-gossip-covered-in-chocolate love it.

re: landscape. There was nothing that could be done to clean it up, at least not in budget and time. I wanted to slap the director around, myself. I mean, dude, you could have shot in the opposite direction and made it all better.

But you know, what the fuck do I know? Right?

I'm mostly angry at the ratings, because I just don't understand. I'm unsure how much of my anger is influenced by bias, but I think it ticked up significantly around the posts where folks said they were enjoying the show with their whole families.

I only know what happens up to 106, but it's been a squeally joy to read the comments and think, "YOU GOT IT!" And, "Wow, you're totally fucking off. Like, you're mountains in Florida off."

And giggle. Seriously, I'm upset that the ratings are so low, because it's a given that those of you in like with it, will be in love with it later. There's all sorts of cool shit coming up, and I think Minear has laid some stones one way, and some birdseed the other, and we're all a bunch of Hansels and Gretyls who will find HSQ in either direction.

It's either, "Oh shit, he went there!"

Or, "Oh shit, I had no idea he was gonna go there!"

I hate having to be vague.

I think Mr. Closer to the Earth laid some birdseed in the Earth direction, though, and that path will get gobbled up before anyone tears their hair out.

And no one ascends. This I can say with some certainty.

Vague spoilers which make me hope that someone at Fox allows it all to play out: The pacing keeps up. Winston gets sexier. Corinna rocks. Alex gets Dark Wesleyer. Twists snap your neck.

And it's still funny.

It's such a double-edged sword with the knowing. I miss speculating with the post and watchers. And I want to tell you everything! Because it's made of awesome!

Gah. Please let the Nielsen's tick up to explosive levels. Please.
