Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think my favorite version was Michael wearing an undershirt and the complaint abiut stress eating while Elanor was right there.

Ted Danson is KILLING IT.

And my Eleanor/Chidi OTP heart grew 3 sizes last night. I may have shrieked when she said "I love you."

But also! Chidi wrangling a pig in one of the reboots! And also! Chidi running from bees in another of the reboots! Basically every goddamn moment with Chidi.

A clam chowder fountain should be a huge tipoff that this isn't the good place. Though I do like clam chowder from time to time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No. Just, no. Clam chowder is basically a savory latte with bugs in it - hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons.

It's like my mom always said: If a cop handcuffs you to a bike rack there's always something you can gnaw through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel bad because Jason is so dim that I kind of assume the actor isn't the brightest bulb either. Which I'm sure is not true.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Against all good sense, I am totally charmed by Jason - well the Jason actor at any rate. His line delivery never fails to crack me the hell up. I cackled so much at the conclusion of his story to Michael. "... and we slashed their tires."

Also great: the actress who plays Mindy. "Is there *anything* I can snort? Aspirin, cracked aspirin? Eye shadow? Cocaine?"

Manhattan clam chowder is an abomination. And actually, in S1, didn't Trevor say the dining car of the train only served room-temperature Manhattan clam chowder?

Yup.

Manhattan is the only kind my father used to eat.

Also, one of the restaurants was named Sushi and the Banshees.

Every food pun from that episode.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Full disclosure: David made me some excellent New England clam chowder right before we watched this episode. It made for some deeply uncomfortable moments.

DavidS - Sep 29, 2017 6:21:42 pm PDT #7647 of 8624

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I regret JZ's menu tonight.
