Ha. Indeed. Tracy has a rich backstory, and like 90% of it is from throwaway lines, 3-second cutaway gags, and movie posters.

TGS reference of the night
"I can't do Friday, I have a…stupid…show."

Seconded re: Jamar. I like them both, and it was stupid and annoying that they made them duke it out.

When that happens I like to fanwank that they've all lived there so long, they follow the same handful of trails/landmarks/streams from one place to another. Which Jin would presumably have looked for. So they just kind of bump into each other on the road when it's dramatically convenient.

Yeah, seems like I would have noticed. Especially since doing the math on that reveals that the entire remaining population of the city was present for each Saints home game this year. Now that's what I call faith! Who dat!

She is a very rare, very special kind of crazy. They are wise to exploit that.

Maybe those weren't her jokes? Because see above re: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Maybe it just took her this long to find her medium, and that medium is Quippy Radio Quiz Shows For Overeducated Lefties.

d'oh.

But also hobbits! Several of them! Or was that Endymion? I know for a fact that at some point in the last five years or so some hobbits threw cheap plastic crap at me, and it was awesome.

Huge apocalyptic clusterfuck + hilarious finger-to-lips underwater "bll-bll-bll-blll" effect = comedy gold.

I'm kind of disappointed…
Because as a rule, New Orleans folks are pretty laid back; however, statistically, even if .01% of the parade-attending population had seen this bit, he'd be covered in a layer of daiquiri syrup and litter, tar-and-feather style, by the time they rounded the corner at St. Charles. And THAT…

This show should find something for Paul Adelstein and William Fichtner to do. That would make me feel better about life in general.

Seymour
Silas Weir Mitchell did a great job on Prison Break, which is a "Hey! It's That Guy!"-heavy series, full of awesome little performances no one notices. Like Seymour. They do a pretty great job with casting on this show now that I think about it. Jeffrey Donovan = good call.

She doesn't have a belly button, is what struck me. Did she just spring fully formed from somewhere? That was offputting.

He's fucking dapper, is what he is. I want to climb him like a coconut tree.

Yeah, in this scenario there would be a few honest to goodness old people, but we Gen-Xers would be the hot young things who skate by on our looks and have fans waving homemade posters with puns of our names on them.

Perhaps you were having so much fun with your T-Mobile SidekickTM that you didn't notice.

Yeah, it was weird, Jamie seemed actively annoyed by the entire thing, and Leah was just bored, even her speech about not being bored was boring. So I guess bored wins?

I love Wednesday nights
Because I'm going back and forth between gossiping about catfights between histrionic theater kids and debating the rules of time travel.
