I don't watch that show but -

I do watch Breaking Bad...

Just kidding. Plenty avenues for that knowledge. It's just the place I feel the most educated (and not a little outraged).

Okay, you guys picked all the same nits as me on Blacklist, so I just point upward and go, "Yeah, that."

Weird thing I noted - since when is James Spader so LITTLE? The scene where he's standing between the 2 FBI guys (can't remember either character's name yet) - they're just towering over him! I suppose it's a testament to Spader's skill that he's still menacing and believably badass as he's looking up at both of them.

This latest ep I think has crossed the amount of stupid I can tolerate, even though I was already only watching for Spader. I think I will give it one more week.

You can paralyze people so that they can still breathe. It's a different nervous system from the one she'd use to move around. I don't know if you can do it with a drug, but I wouldn't be surprised. But you can definitely do it.

What you can't do is punch someone lying at the base of the tree while you stand up like that and knock them out. Schwarzenegger couldn't have pulled that haymaker off. You'd need a different punch, but most of all, it'd be easier with a different angle.

Also, James Spader punched like an actress. Please fix how actresses on TV punch first, then Spader.

Yes, general anesthesia consists of two parts: the drug which causes the temporary paralysis, and the drug that knocks you out so you don't feel the pain. There are rare occasions in which the former succeeds but the latter fails so the patient feels the entire procedure but cannot call out for help to let them know things have gone wrong. One of my psych profs in college had a client in therapy from the trauma of that.

I watch for the snark; James Spader has mastered supercilious.

Heh. I did actually know about plastic containers for HF from high school chemistry! It's used for etching glass, among other things.

How hard do we think it would be to put a good-sized corpse into a latex suit?

That seems like it would result in a comedy of errors similar to Ross and his leather pants.

Like Sherlock said, without talcum powder, damn near impossible. Because it's not like the dude can cooperate and therefore help. Like when you try to get a shoe onto a toddler's foot -- that kid ain't helping, mostly because it doesn't really understand that it can or should help. So you're shoving a foot into a shoe and hoping it all works.

Only this is a much larger, much nakeder scale. Ick. That co-worker must have REALLY wanted the extra bonus money to be willing to shove his dead, hairy, jiggly boss into the suit. And again I say ICK.
