Who did he play in JoA? He looked familiar, but I kept trying not to see him as BatManuel, who is on Lost, anyway.

He was Detective Carlisle, Will's subordinate in the second season. He was usually eating a sandwich.

I forgot to see who wrote it

Tim! I've seen good response to his ep. Let's hope the supposedly boffo episode six retains that goodwill.

This episode was much more like what I thought the show could be. It was a logical use of an Active, and it included many evocative clues and sharp writing.

I think Topher is pretty much the classic guy who lives in his parents' basement. He has the 13-year-old "Ooh, boobies," but the discomfort with talking about sexual issues. He's much happier with his creations being sexless creatures.

The cow-eyed crush girl neighbor portrayal is really getting on my nerves. I want her to either rip off those unflattering clothes to reveal her Supergirl costume or I want her to go away.

Ginger, I'm writing a fanfic about Mellie as Supergirl RIGHT NOW.

The cow-eyed crush girl neighbor portrayal is really getting on my nerves.

Wait, she has a crush on Agent Helo? YOU DON'T SAY.

Her jealousy of Caroline bugs me. "The picture didn't do her justice, huh?" What? There was nothing particularly hot about Caroline in her little graduation video; okay, she has a crush and her reactions are over-the-top, but that's what bugs. She's jealous of Caroline like Agent Helo is looking for a DATE or something. He is an FBI agent. She is a missing person. Geez.

At this point, I'm really hoping that Mellie is an Active. Or that her plotline goes somewhere. Soon. Otherwise, "vaugely frumpy neighbor who's carrying a torch for Our Hero" has gotten old.

Wait, was I the only one who thought her cleavage-y outfit this episode was WAY better than the first? And actually sexy?

Yeah, I definitely liked this episode better than the previous ones. I would like for Echo to stop getting smacked around by men, but I suppose this is groundwork. And, you know, deus ex machina to break the cameras.

I thought that Smarmy hit her directly in the face, that he'd broken her nose, but evidently no. Because it seems like no matter what your conditioning was, when you woke up and were feeling like going for a swim, you'd also be all, "Damn, my face hurts."

Cow-eyes reminds me of Peter Parker's landlord's daughter.

"I brought you some leftovers"? please. That's an entire pan!

I know! I thought that was kinda cute, though. That's how all her "leftovers" are.
