Hey, I nearly lost it during S7's BtVS: "Get It Done."

And I'm beyond impressed that you can remember any titles from Season 7

Drive is now on iTunes. Sorry for sending you to my site -- I would grab the direct link to iTunes, but I'm multitasking and misplaced the direct link. But still wanted to be informative.

Oh thank god! My cable got all freeze-frame-y during one of the interrogation scenes on Monday's ep. Presumably because of the windstorms, although maybe it was because God Hates Me.

I still like my speculation even though it is almost certainly not the Minear direction: the race is a war game to settle disputes. Decisions are made not only on who wins or who loses (though the sponsor of the winner gets major benefits) but what the order is - all the way down to who is last. So the racers are not chosen just for their probability of winning, but for their strengths and weaknesses corresponding to their sponsor in a real war/corporate power grab/mob war. It will be interesting to see how many eps it takes something comes along that disproves it.

What is clear is that there is a cabal, that each team has sponsors, and that someone - either those running the race, or those sponsors or both manipulate and interfere with the racers - that it does not stop with luring or forcing people into the race.

Unless whoever is running it is stupid, there is betting going on, but I'll be disappointed if gambling is all that is behind the race. There should be some bigger motive, hopefully dark grey - basically evil but where some of those participating behind the scenes can kid themselves that the end justifies the means.

Is a man smokin' a fag running the race, that's what I want to know.

Boy, those screen caps sure do look familiar.. (this is tounge in cheek).

Oh, I can't. Well, I can remember select ones, but didn't remember that one. I went to Buffyguide.com.

I was looking for a new episode of Drive, last night. I got spoiled with the three hours so close together.

My son, in outrage: "Mal isn't being NICE!"

We've watched Sunday's two episodes and the hook is firmly set, and was from the first 10 minutes. Wow.

Yeah, I totally love that speculation, Gar. I think it'd be great. Because otherwise, you're dealing with a cabal and sponsors who are in it for what, monetary gain? Stakes would be lower.

Totally, Cindy! I was all, what, I don't get three hours of quality television every two days? C'mon.

Glad to hear the fam is enjoying, Betsy.

Somebody should take Rescue Remedy to Jackal. Do they make that in the States?

I don't know where it's made but it's available here in the States.
