The news from Wales is all about small shops and bakeries and rugby.
Been to Wales. This is understandable and lovable. Plus, they're too busy DRINKING to go about killing folks.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Badass Squirrels
Hmm, sounds like the Peruvian Squirrel Pimps better watch out for the Russian Squirrel Mafia.
I mean, it looked like I should care about the mental state of the characters, but I just couldn't.
Well, it was basically just MacGoohan that you were supposed to care about (with occasional one-off characters you could also root for), and I think he was (intentionally) an allergorical figure as much as a character. And I think I remember you saying that his character put you off, so that would pretty much kill the deal right there. Me? I absolutely loved his smarty pants act, especially since around half the time he got the short end of the episode's mindfuck.

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

I felt I should have cared about the antagonists too, otherwise there's not much of a conflict. I'm not equating caring about with rooting for. I just didn't find him interesting or involving, and didn't find them creepy/evil/anything with traction.

Hec, have you seen Selma Blair's new hair?
I love the look. If the apocalypse happened right now, she'd be even more styling.

It's not the first time I've heard of squirrel predation -- anecdotally, starving squirrels have been observed to stalk and kill birds.

Yeah. And before I can continue shopping, I need to check in with my mom and my sister, anyway. I'll get some sleep and brave the stores again tomorrow.

Next week? Christmas Eve is Sunday. You're just trying to create extra shopping time with semantics now.
