She should've just gone with Cuba. They obviously put the 650 miles thing in there specifically so no one would say Cuba, but at least Cuba is a country.

That's a good point. Cuarón obviously cared about the project.

The fourth movie was the first one that was actually good, mostly because they cut out the superfluous stuff and left in the core story. Funny how coherent scripts make movies better.

Can we talk about how terrible the two incorrect FJ! guesses were? The clue obviously was pointing you toward a Spanish-speaking country. Jamaicans speak English and Puerto Rico isn't a country. I guess it's better than leaving it blank, but still … embarrassing.

I'm going to use this opportunity to talk about Prisoner of Azkaban, which I did not realize Alfonso Cuarón directed until after Gravity came out.

Whether they actually hire him is beside the point. But they would need to offer some carrot to keep his mouth shut.

It'd be slander, though, right?

She claimed to feel uncomfortable with people making sexual advances in the workplace. She had sex in the workplace multiple times. Ergo, bye bye lawsuit.

That seems like a stupid demand. If I were Cary and Alicia (but preferably just Cary, as controlling two people at once would be kind of a pain and he has a soothing voice), I'd just say: "You will not get a bonus because you're an idiot. You will not rat on us because we are the only law firm in the country that will…

You wager first. Then you answer the question.

Nah. It sucks, but 'dems the rules. They allow pretty egregious spelling errors, but you need to get the basic sound and order of the syllables right.

No way. It might not look like a blunder in retrospect, but when she made the decision, Chris didn't know that. If I trip walking down the stairs, it's still a blunder, even if I dodge a bullet on the way down.

I think the same type of thing happened with New Girl two years ago. It was getting low 4's and high 3's for four weeks, if memory serves, and then Fox aired baseball for a month. Ratings dropped.

Yeah, that too, based on my casual perusal of Wikipedia during a commercial break.

So, the ending of this confused me. Why did the water submersion thing work if all of the Roanoke people were dead?

Ah, yes. This is why I signed up for "other shows" notifications. I am complete.

As long as it has Sunday Night Football, they can at least keep the lights on.

Thanks, indeed it does. I remember Glee's character relationships being pretty much constantly in flux and often sacrificed to the gods of plot and drama. I'm glad that's not what happened here.

This episode reminded me a lot of "The Body" from Buffy. The writers of both threw in a lot of methods/tropes of dealing with death and loss, so there's something there for everybody to latch onto, even if not everything is going to work for everyone (by design). Whether you deal with death by feeling lost and…

No, Jack was going to use a door thing from the airplane to amputate Boone's leg, but then Boone was all like, "Jack, let me die," but he said it with his eyes.
