Also also, caffeine, if not coffee, is in fact a drug. An addictive drug. Take that, Zoe Carter!

And the darker the roast, the less caffeine there is. IJS.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I find the Jo and Zoe friendship/alliance sweet and amusing, and enjoyed seeing it in this ep.

Jo's stuff was quite funny "I'm so ashamed/He broke me like a twig"

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

That character could so easily have been a caricature and yet the actress completely makes Jo real. Loving the humor and touches of vulnerability in a strong woman role. Yay!

I also love the way she seems to be trying to embrace her girly side.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

If my father/boss told me to "drop it" like that, I'd stop snickering and poking so fast. After a while I wanted to shake those girls and tell them to get their heads out of their you-know-whats.

Nah, he was doing it in the same sort of apparently casual way that the rest of their ongoing teasing was played, so I don't think Jo and Zoe would realize.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Damn, Colin's good. He played that scene with Zoe well.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yeah, I liked that a lot.

I liked that episode. And next week looks funny: Henry's line made me laugh out loud.

I read the way he said it completely different than you. I thought he had a completely different tone: trying to be firm while not letting on just how much it bothered him, but just enough edge to make it different from all the times they've teased each other.

Must rewatch!

Weird how my mind works: when Carter was telling the story to Zoe, and he said they assumed he was driving, he didn't deny it, "didn't matter who was behind the wheel, he was responsible", I went to a "Kim's Death" place and his involvement with that. I didn't go to the "And this is why Carter was all het up with Allison about taking responsibility", because I bought that he's an action/consequences kinda guy. I didn't blink that he'd have that sort of moral fiber in his professional career.

I didn't think he needed a reason to believe what he did, and looking back now it seems weird that we needed to be shown the "reason" in such a manner.

I could be wrong.

Not to sound mean, but it's been well-documented that a Buffista is not usually a "traditional TV watcher." Other members of the audience may have needed that component to bring everything together.

(I'm just glad it wasn't an anvil, like the goose thing.)
