People people people. I've never been to Florida. Many of you have; some of you live there, but clearly, few of you have heard of the Secret Mountains of Florida.
Obscured by a temporal fold, the Secret Mountains of Florida only become visible to the naked eye (and camera lens) every 100 years. You can get there with a little ritual though, provided you have your magic gourd (the best of which are imported from California and isn't that a coincidence).
High upon the Secret Mountains of Florida dwells a race (take the pun, dammit) of ancient peoples practiced in the Manipulative and Conspiratorial Arts. It is they who pull all the strings, be they of directors, producers and their budgets, actors, fictional characters, or television viewers.
That's right. We are no different. We are but their puppets, and resistence is futile, because it's misspelled and resistance is futile, because -- did you not just read the whole part about puppets and strings? I don't want to be repeat-o girl. I repeat, I do not want to be repeat-o girl, so repeat after me, "It's fiction. They can have mountains in their Florida if they want."
Nathan was awesome last night. Awesome (although I would also watch Viggo in that role). I had no idea the interrogation room was fake. I figured the "cop" was actually a real cop, as well as a part of whatever cabal (they said "cabal"!!!) is running the race, even if he wasn't Officer Poole. I figured "cop" had managed to sneak Tully into some room in the police barracks that nobody was checking, or into some room in Cabal Secret Headquarters. The set reveal was fun. It was also good to see Corinna on her own, and that she wasn't ready to forget about Alex.
And Sean clearly isn't the candy ass he seemed at first, either. "Get here in 45 minutes or there's going to be a problem" -- and the guy gets in the chopper.Yes, I like that lost Menendez has some stones.
Favorites so far: Tully, the Salazar brothers, and Vi and her father. I love Melanie Lynskey, but I'm not quite there with her character. It would be easy to turn Wendy into a caricature, and I'm not convinced she won't...yet. I am quite sure that NO ONE is as they seem. This is a good thing, because the GI's wife currently makes me long for Saint!Cordy.
This is me, but I got sucked by the GI-Wife and his wife, once they had the, "I don't want you to die," moment.
Also, I'm not worried about Wendy. She's spot on. I was a little worried, until blonde-girl took the baby's carseat out of the mini-van -- at which point I said, "Oh. You don't come back from that." And then Wendy got that message across just fine.
I don't like the blonde and the shots of the racing itself isn't all that for me. I was sad Winston was so easily fooled by the bounty hunter, too.
