Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The secret dogs part was probably the best part! Somehow I think Donald Glover wrote that line.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That would make sense, yes.

I didn't get the Calvin and Hobbes costumes, either.

The character notes are not slowly developing. The characterization is getting shorter.

To be fair, they only have 12 episodes this season, so I can understand rushing things a little.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, but I'm hopeful for the movie!

I'm sure there will be plenty of personal growth left to attain by then.

Upon a second (post-wine) viewing, I liked it better. Not a classic like Epidemiology, but fine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just watched it again too, and also liked it a lot more the second time.

I didn't have any wine yet either.

I don't know if the wine made a difference, but I figured it was better to disclose.

Next week I don't work Thursday evening, so I will be able to relax at home and watch Community and Parks & Rec as they air, the way God and NBC intended. I am so looking forward to that!

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

LeN, why did only Annie's costume count?

The episode didn't depend on Halloween like the two notable preceding ones, but the one with the questionnaires and the stories could also have been set anywhere in the year--the stories had costumes, but I don't think it was date dependent.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita,

What I meant is not that the others weren't in costume but Annie's was referenced and remarked upon more than once and in other Halloween eps the setting and extras contributed to the event and plot. Given the various reasons why the characters have been in costumes over the seasons this did not stand out as Halloween if that makes any sense. I think it was deliberate given the timing of the ep.
