Oh, good call!

Someone else mentioned this. I'll have to go to the tape, as it were. But I think you might be right.

@endall This is a really excellent observation. And the show has totally abandoned the whole home movie thing. After that episode, I felt like Rosie was a bit of cliche—the artsy/dreamy teenage girl—but at least they were focusing on her somewhat. But now, she's been totally lost in this whole thing. Instead of slowly…

I bought the DVD earlier this year in a nostalgic binge, but I agree. MTV *NEEDS* to make these old shows available more easily.

Polish also explains the "I'm so glad I sent you to Holy Family" bit. I was just thrown because it was, like, straight out of the shtetl.

Ahhh, yes. Thanks. In my haste to get this posted, I mixed up my fetishes. Thanks.

@adrianmole "awkwardly regal": you nailed it!

I have been wondering the same thing. It just looks so uncomfortable. I think the 3/4 profile is supposed to be a little like the old days, when Alistair Cooke used to intro the show from his armchair. But it just looks weird.

Oh man, sorry. I was too distracted by Gwen's hot one-night-stand with the director. But yes, very weird. Also very weird that he volunteered it so readily. So maybe those were both his kids and his celibacy is just a cost-saving measure?

I just thought it was way too much. Like, they haven't even had Rosie's funeral yet. Let's not forget, it's been all of 4 days since everyone found out. I mean, you might dodge the person BEFORE making eye contact if you just didn't know what to say. But looking right at them and turning around? That's brutal.

Sanders.

This is big, but I think it's more to do with filling air time. You end up seeing the same scene replayed like 4 times in the same episode. It's insane.

But same detectives? That seems critical.

Oh I forgot about Rick's weird (and entirely unjustified) flash of jealousy. Further proof that cake-gobbling is sinister!

Yeah, that's how I originally read the scene, too. But then I remembered Linden's trying to quit smoking, right? Oh, I don't know…you're probably right. There's definitely a theme emerging of her negligent parenting/Jack being in peril just like these kids she's investigating. P.S. Where is Jack's dad?!?

Just watch. He really is the only pro-gun person who says anything *remotely* convincing.

It's Gun Fight. We're fixing it. Thanks for catching that.

I'm beginning to buy the idea that the tape was fake and that somehow Sterling was involved. Have they even established that it was her blood on the mattress?

Oh man, good call about Harry S. Truman.

YES! I thought that was weird. Can't he just stroll by a newsstand?
