That seems right to me. I'd assume they were doing tip sharing just in case so that seems like the safe play.

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

Is that the one where there's a room with different objects with different powers, Victor? I quite liked it to start off with, but I thought it ended up squandering its potential.

Bad Wolf

That's exactly the one. I'm about 30 min in, its not that I'm not finding it enjoyable, it just really isn't pulling me in as much as I'd like.

It's not great but there are bits where they really use the premise & objects in a very smart, fun way and that's very exciting. It takes a little while to get to that point though. I remember there was some discussion about it in Boxed Set at the time, and I believe some apt comparisons to an RPG.

But I do remember feeling sorta, "These are some neat ideas! I don't care so much about the actual story, though."

I think after this "episode" I'll take a shower and clear my head and try to get into it again. It might just be that I'm in a tired/friday kinda mood.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I said yes and yes. Thoughts?

I agree. The manager isn't the owner, so no anti-tip rule.

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

I'm caught up with GA except for the finale!

I would love a vespa, for running to the grocery store and stuff like that. I need a sugar daddy.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

For some reason, my Tivo decided to stop recording GA after this first episode this year. I'm going to have to iTunes the last few episodes, for lo, I am addicted despite the crap.

I've been watching from the ABC web site, and it is not so bad.
