Homicidal racist ghost truck! (It had to be said.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I wonder if we're going to start seeing a lot of switching up partners.

In the credits, isn't the black chick with the blonde girl who can't drive? I'm thinking they team up again.

Erk, I need to start learning names.

Also, while I have no evidence other than the lack of a death scene, I'm guessing that the younger brother lives.

All is well that ends in pizza.

He's taking wounded!brother to a rendezvous with Serenity, so Simon can patch him up.

Just as long as he doesn't run out of gas.

That's going to be one hell of an impressive fix-it job, since gun shot wounds aren't necessarily easy to recover from....

Well, not necessarily TV gun shot wounds.

and I love that he entrusted them with the box. I wouldn't have left it with anyone with a car. Especially one with a woman with an ulterior motive and a guy who doesn't care about the victim. Of course, maybe Winston will surprise me by telling Little Girl Lost that they can't just take off and leave his brother.

What is even happening?

I fell asleep last night, but in my defense, I was very tired. We didn't sit down to watch TV until 10, and watched Heroes, first. We then put on Drive. Scott was out by the first commercial break. I fell asleep just for one minute, around halfway through. Then Scott woke me up to tell me go to bed. We'd recorded Drive on the TiVo, so I decided he was right.

I paused for a moment when Ryan Reynolds was on the screen. I got a kick out of seeing him in Drive, because I knew he'd been in Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place, and of course Nathan was in that, too. Then I saw John C. McGinley and Christa Miller, and was surprised I didn't know they were doing a guest shot on Drive.

I remarked on it to Scott and he couldn't figure out what I was talking about. I figured he was just stupid from sleeping, so I said, "Never mind. I'll tell you in the morning, when you're more awake."

It was only after the second time I saw Ryan Reynolds sitting on a bench between Zach Braff and Donald Faison, that I twigged to the fact that Drive was long over, and I was actually watching a Scrubs re-run. D'oh. I guess I was asleep for longer than a minute.

Topic!Cindy - Sheesh, if Tim was going to start with the killing, couldn't he have named one of these characters "Scott" after your hubby? Doesn't Tim still owe you one good "Scott" killing?

Narrator, if Tim could hear Scott every time we tuned into Drive, he'd kill him again, and again, and again. "A Scott" would be the Minearverse equivalent of the Star Trek "red shirt." His, "You'll never get me, Minear," plus cackle, is now part of his pre-show ritual. It was tough last week, with three episodes in a row.
