Hey smonster! Yeah, I'm mostly lurky nowadays, but still stalking y'all dropping by every now and then.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I thought it helped show Echo as a real person and played to Eliza's strengths. It got me.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they remove the part of Paul where he loved/felt a connection to Echo? So all that had to be rebuilt over the intervening years, through the strife, and I got the sense she was just hanging in there until she could openly reciprocate.
By which I mean to say that I bought it, too.
As someone else said, it took me back to Faith's breakdown in the alley during Five By Five. Eliza does lose her shit well.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I rewatched E2 last night (as my *&%&(*+ digital converter box turned off while i was taping it so i lost 15 minutes of farm life and exposition) and afterwards dreamt dreams of profound loss and yearning. Echo-wise it's good thing there is no more, because by my reckoning she will certainly waste away in her pod, dreaming and living inside her head (literally) with no care to maintain her physical self.
no idea what language the wastelanders were speaking. it sounded vaguely eastern european to me.
I am currently battling over whether to pay itunes in order to watch E1. I feel like i missed something important.

Art Crawl!!!
Other sources tell me that it was most likely Albanian.
Watch E1 - in fact, rent the dvds and watch the unaired pilot too.

what language the wastelanders were speaking
Given that it's Enver, I thought Albanian.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

That's what we did, before Season Two started. We totally do not regret it. Not only does it make everything make more sense, it's probably the best episode of the series.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Does Amazon still have E1?
Also, of course, it might be available with *ahem*ing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Damn. Now I have to watch Eliza's 'Angel' arcs. All of them.

My only beef with E1 was that it actually went with a completely po-faced idiot plot moment at one point, which would be taking a shower alone in a very scary, isolated place. I don't think the identity of the killer was twist enough to offset that kind of slasher movie cliche.
