Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

I grew up quaker, did protests, travelled to the USSR while it was still such, my parents were involved in illegal stuff that they always told the authorities about (I'm not clear exactly on why, but I think there was some weird clause that thus made at least one potential charge go poof, it was weird) and then I went to a quaker college that later spawned that kid who decided to take box cutters on the plane and tell the TSA as a protest. However, other than what these things might imply, I'm really a quiet fairly law-abiding citizen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Where's Lee? I just watched Hustle, and I think the most annoying thing was how long it took for a musical number!!

I'm Here!

I think I agree, Jesse. I think I need to fast forward and watch that part again. Possibly a lot.

I have 21 more minutes of work. People need to be posting more!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was a brilliant part.

The pacing of this one was off for me, and made me realise that the pacing of last week's should have been--there was no hiccup to overcome, just a last-inning reveal. Yet, it worked because all that time went cleverly and smoothly, and I'm not still sure that I even understood this con.

OMGKIDINVASION.

Are they calling you auntie Sara?

Hustle: I understood the con, I think: they were tying to get him to invest in a movie that didn't exist, but I was still eyerolly a little, because they cheat honest men all the time (like Eddie) and because of the "poor me, I couldn't pursue my dreams so I was evil, but now I Have Seen The Light And Know Better" stuff.

Nah, I'm just Miss Sara.

Two little girls competing (well, one is, anyway. I can practically see the older-T- rolling her eyes) is exhausting.

It was last week's con that I didn't get.

Is Eddie the bartender? I don't think he counts. I'd have preferred the resolution if it'd have been more he's onto us, and if he's not, he's good now than just the one reason.
