Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

See now I can just picture ita slapping her silly and it will help quite a lot. I'm not so much a slapper, so I appreciate this.

Snerk. I loved the show already, but this will be a great help to me as well.

I've just peeked at other boards, and for me Firefly is still the One. True. Show, but I cringe at MALex and Serenitruck. Blech.

What is even happening?

They ought to call it FireTruck.

Cute, Cindy. Maybe even cute enough that it wouldn't bug me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

MALex

I see the portmanteau, but it still sounds like a remedy for indigestion.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I'm rewatching Drive tonight. So what do we think that Alex Tully of Hastings, Nebraska was doing in Ashland, Kentucky on July 12th, 2003?

Don't...we know? He said he was driving the getaway car for a bank robbery or something like that. And his partner was killed. Or...well, wait, that partner stuff was obviously a load of crap, but I presume the rest is true?

I sort of assumed he was in fact driving the getaway car. I could be convinced otherwise, but I'm pretty sure he's got *something* evil in his background.

The "cop" accused Alex of all this, but Alex never admitted to it. And it was "the cop's" partner who was supposedly killed, not Alex's.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

I assume the getaway car part is true, given that it was supposedly the reason they got him in the Race and gave him his old car.

The knife is interesting, though. Wouldn't think the lowly getaway car driver would need that.

Monique, many of your thoughts are mine. And some things you mention are on my to-be-dealt-with list. Once I've slept.

Having very, very briefly met Emma Stone, I can't really deny the Lohan comparisons since I was thinking them, and she was making them herself. But yeah, she's like Lohan back when Lohan was profoundly adorable and not... sort of tragic.

Beth is a friend of ND's, and he was totally psyched to see her.
Ooh! Just tonight we watched her in Sordid Lives. She was fantastic.

In conclusion: recapping made me like Ivy quite a lot. I think she's my anti-Wesley; she's an obnoxious ass, but she's usually right. (I can't quite figure out why I find that so appealing, but I'm sure it'll come to me later.)

The knife is interesting, though. Wouldn't think the lowly getaway car driver would need that.
The getaway man is never lowly. But I think the more important implication was that it wasn't exactly an isolated case.
