That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I totally suck at names for this show too. Clearly. Not sure why. I'm never awesome at names but this one is just chock full of people I have unlabeled.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I identify them visually and by relationship, but the names tend to be very normal-person-name, and I confuse those easily. Just ask my students.

Much like life, I have given them all nicknames that I try to never say in public. It's never been trouble keeping who they are individually and in relation to each other clear, but their actual names? Nope.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, agree that the dynamic between Hank & Steph was note perfect. I wondered if some of that stuff was real life sibling stuff. The photo almost certainly was.
 
And I liked this episode. I liked how hard it all was, but they did it.

Speaking of names... I'm trying to figure out what Britt's name could be a shortened version of, or nickname for. Or is Britt in and of itself a common name?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Could be a family name, mother's maiden name, etc.

Thoughts on "Steel Neena" the theme song which I gather was written specifically for "Terriers":

1)Far from a favorite song, but the really dark lyrics combined with the sunny surf-rock melody is perfect for the show:

2) We hear what sounds like only part of the song, but for all we know that all that was written. In a way a perfect metaphor for most Minear shows. Maybe there are more lyrics somewhere which we will only get to hear if there is a second season.

Are there more lyrics than we hear on the show?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does it sound like it belongs on The Magnetic Fields 69 Love songs to anyone else?
