You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Bubbles and Lester

Is Lester Bubbles's buddy who sucks at scamming?

I also found that it was worth rewatching the first few eps because I know myself well enough to know that I was going to be kicking myself if I realized I'd missed something crucial after sending the disc back to Netflix.

Yeah, I was inexplicably tired and was in and out of consciousness for about twenty minutes, which left me very confused at the end, but then I rewatched what I'd missed, and it made a little more sense. Except for that scene with whatsername and her test because I still don't really know who she is. I think she's the same one who talked with Bubbles in the hospital.

The cornerboys tend to speak their own....well, the NPR folks call it a "patois" but I find that a bit too anthropological for my comfort.

I loved the discussion about Hamilton being on the money. That was great.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope. Det. Lester Freamon. Natural Po-lice.

Y'all hush about Lester. Reason here: For all intents & purposes, he's nothing but a mope for half the first season. When he proves he's natural police is one of the pleasures of that season.

It is, Cor, it is. I'll just shut up now.

Corwood, tell me when I get far enough to be able to read that whitefont. I'm marking the post. Hee.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Corwood, Yeah, mos def. I just really enjoy that coinage "Cool Lester Smooth" But, you're right...is too much. I forget because I watched the seasons out of order.

I am so confused. Is Lester really a Cylon?

Nope-- "smooth" does not equal metallic. The man has hidden depths, and that's all I can say about that. Because our friend is right...the evolution is pretty cool.

I, for one, would be astoundingly pleased if he turned out to be the Final Cylon. But it seems very unlikely.
