BTW, I was really irritated with the whole cell phone thing. I've been to the CIA (and know people who work there), they don't let you have personal cell phones, especially ones with phones and internet access. It's a tiny detail, but it irritated me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Although I don't like having John de Lancie die, I enjoyed his exit line. It's exactly what many people would say.

For posterity, after realizing there might be a bomb left on the desk next to him and it was going to go off, his response was, "Oh, Fuck!"

As the thread title says, the cursing costs extra.

Yes, that was awesome. I wish he had been able to run far enough away after saying it though.

I liked last night's episode. I thought the beginning was a little too talky until the action started, but I liked how they managed to pull things together. But I liked the season as a whole. I think I'm fairly easy if you put Jack and Gwen in a show, I'm going to like it.

I don't think there is any kind of commitment yet for STARZ to put on another season, but I'm still hoping they will.

Trust my rage

If I don't get to see Eric having sex with someone, this show is going to get really boring.

eta: and what I mostly mean is that most of the storylines are getting really dull. Except Eric - actually, I'd watch him do almost anything.

Did you watch the whole episode yet? No sex, but a fairly hot scene near the end.

I thought the finale this week was interesting. It was good to see Renee again, although I'm not sure why he was continuing to use the fake Cajun accent after his death.

I knew the minute Terry's Marine friend showed up that was going to lead to trouble.

I hope that Jesus meant what he said to LaFayette and we'll continue to see him in the future through LaFayette.

Trust my rage

when I posted, I hadn't seen all the way to the end and went back to add my edit. So yeah, Eric and carnage is fine. But mostly the show needs more Eric.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I have to admit, i enjoy the hell out of Bill when he's not simpering after Sookie. he and Eric teaming up to kill Nan was great.

also loving Jason and Jessica. in fact, i've loved Jason this season. crazy Hot Shot shit notwithstanding.

I think the show is really dull for the most part too. Although tonight was a good one, imho.

I love Gran and it was great seeing her tonight. I wish they hadn't killed her off in the first season.

I can't decide if I care if Tara is truly dead or not.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I can't decide if I care if Tara is truly dead or not.

If she stays kickass Tara, then yes. But, even still, an EVIL way to end the season.

And who was the reverend vamp who Jason opened the door to? Another first season (which I still haven't seen yet) casualty? Or some minor character I'm spacing on?

Art Crawl!!!

Um, he was the leader of the Church of the New Sun. (I think that is what it was called.) I don't think we knew that he'd been vamped - did we?
