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

Wrod, Frank. I just want to smack Jo so bad! She basically rewarded Zane for being a jealous asshole. I hope we find out later she's been affected by a different kind of spore.

Maybe Zane will be the first human turned to gold.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I think Vincent's special was ćevapčići, but he sure pronounced it differently from how my Yugoslavian neighbors taught me.
Tasty spicy sausage, though.
On second thought, perhaps that was intended as part of the joke? If so, I can't decide between "hah" and "ewww."

Ooh, thanks, dcp. It kept bugging me that he kept saying something that sounded like he was mispronouncing "seviche", but describing something completely different.
Between that and the casein asthma spray, my inner food-nerd needs to shut up and let me watch my teevee.

Adding my hatred for what they continue to do to Jo's character in an otherwise fun episode. Maybe it will turn out that Zane has been slipping something a bit more sophisticated and when she finds out she castrates him.
I had a thought about Flash Gordon. I was trying to figure out why my hate for this was so much stronger than for other shows that really are as badly written, with comparable budgets.
I and think I came up with it. In addition to its other problems, Flash Gordon is badly directed. Much of the time when the horrible dialog start, everything else stops. People come near freezing, or maybe do slight wooden gesticulation. If you watch a well directed video, no matter how badly written, there is always some little bit of business going on during dialog - pouring drinks, settling into or out of furniture, putting on or removing clothing, pointing, illustrating points with hand gestures and body language, hell interprative dance for all I care. In FG, about half the time the people just freeze, or worse stop and pose during dialog. And much of the rest of the time, all the directors can come up with for people to do is sit around a table at a meal.
In the early days of film, when sound got added to what had previously been called "moving pictures", there was a moment in history when they were referred to as "talking pictures". That moment did not last long because it turned out that with or without sound, people enjoy moving pictures a lot more than talking pictures. And that is what is wrong with FG. Flash Gordon, much of the time, is not a moving picture. It is a talking picture. Unlike many bad shows, turning the sound off does not improve it.

Seriously. Do we know Zane isn't using something on Jo?

What is even happening?
I like Jo and Zane together. He's about an missocialized with her as she was with Carter in the early episodes. He needs a journey, that's all, and I think he's on it.
"Sheriff Grabass" cracked me up, but I thought my husband was going to need oxygen after the Lake Carter line.
How many episodes are left? I can't stand the short season. It's so not fair.
eta...
I am so grateful that Zoe wasn't featured in this episode. I kept worrying we'd see her, and I was more than prepared to accept any attempt at handwaving the writers wanted to try, provided she did not have the bio-chemical hots for daddy, but it worked much better this way.
