I have to wonder: what are you doing during sex that you get broken ribs from it

falling out of bed?

I thought for sure that "10% of our brains" fallacy was completely played out.

Me too, but he qualified it with "at one time" so I let it slide.

Yeah, that's the biggie for me. With "at one time" I'm just fine, even if the %age is a bit off.

I am ita on the not!sex gag, and I had thought the insurance thing was wrapped up, so I didn't consider it. I'm kind of a sucker for that gag, though, I think.

(Even if I'm still not sure I buy how using more of my brain at once would give rise to, say, telekenesis, but I chalk that up to never having been exposed to a glowy alien artifact. That I know of.)

I enjoyed the episode, but I'm getting real sick of "It sounds like they're talking about sex, but actually they're talking about something else." gag. It just feels done to death for me.

So true, because I sat there waiting for them to reveal what they were really talking about. Having missed the first 15 minutes of the show, I'm inclined to wonder if the whatever signing was referred to in the teaser. If so, then I wouldn't be out of my mind to think I would have known what they were talking about.

I just woke up from a dream in which Jack Carter was renting an apartment in the upstairs of some middle aged, balding man's home. Instead of Zoe living with him, there was a 10 year old boy. The house burned down. Everyone got out safely, mostly due to the boy's alertness. The fire seemed to Jack to have been set deliberately by the owner of the house, but everyone in town believed that any evidence that pointed to a need for further investigation was due to benign wackiness in general rather than being suspicious. Stupid dream wasn't much more than a teaser, so now I will never find out what was going on.

I hate that "Aha! Not talking about sex!" gag so much it's not even a gag anymore, but instead a prompt to work out what in hell they're actually talking about before they pan out and reveal it.

And this

I worry that if I used all of my brain at once, it would overheat and attempt to escape my head, the way my computer tower revs up when CPU usage is high. I swear that thing is warming up its engines for a takeoff, which, considering it's under my desk, is a bit alarming.

and I had thought the insurance thing was wrapped up, so I didn't consider it.

Yeah, didn't she say earlier in the episode that he was insured? Then what was with the hesitance over the forms?

Maybe completing the physical means he can be covered, but he has to sign the actual paperwork to use the services.

I thought his reluctance to do it was very endearing. Straightforward guy, but has an immutable superstition.
