My audio’s a bit clipped and scratchy in this one; sorry about that. I didn’t have access to my usual recording setup and had to improvise.

Haha, good. I never know when it's appreciated or seen as a nuisance, and yet I can't help it. I just have to share what I love even if no one listens, which is actually a pertinent metaphor in this case.

Vespertine is fantastic. My parents imposed a 10pm bed time while growing up and I spent many a night listening to it when I couldn't do anything else. There was a time when it was my favorite LP, and if I ever get married it will likely be to Unison, but Joanna Newsom's Ys beat it out for me, probably along with Kate…

I've been looking for new music and your description sounds perfect. I can't wait to get a chance to listen.

It was definitely viewed by most as a soap opera about rich people, but there were a few sites I read who saw the underlying superhero show. Season 2 was embracing that, but had problems as Kelly also clearly loved camp. I think my favorite scene was the initiative lady showing up somewhere Conrad was in her super…

I'm not convinced Conrad is dead, though that's also me secretly hoping he isn't as his lines and utter contempt for pretty much everyone really added to the show. There's a lot I miss from the earlier seasons, too. The show has much less subtext going on now. I miss Nolan being completely in love with Jack, including…

Oh god, I forgot about the priest sawing into the bug guy's head. That was so disturbing, but I loved it. It was unnecessary, which made it even better. They just decided, "Why not?" and went for it.

She's totally getting rescued by the cop, just because you mentioned it. Though if she got up, rolled her eyes at Charlotte and then the cop burst in and she pretended he rescued her so she could use him, I'd be okay with it.

Victoria's run through the forest was one of my favorite scenes. Everything about it is so patently ridiculous. I also enjoyed David being confused about Victoria not trusting him while they're at the Diner. He just seemed so concerned. And that's what makes everything with Victoria manipulating David into potentially…

The editing was really annoying me at first, minus Aeryn slapping that child, which I'm sure they found hilarious and made sure to repeat it as many times as possible since it was used to reveal that the visions they were experiencing were impulses that could be stopped rather than a confirmed future. Also that Aeryn…

I really like this episode. We get to see most characters have interesting thoughts and developments while also having a fun adventure. So while this episode isn't really as special as it was going for, it was still very enjoyable and fun. Scorpius' integration is probably the best thing as he's constantly…

It's not quite as good as Lava's a Many Splendored Thing, but what episode title could be, right?

And is called "Society of the Blind Eye", which, following the meta clues, sounds like everything I want from this show. I'm so excited.

Me, too. Though I accidentally stumbled on the killers name and probably won't forget this time, but we'll see. It doesn't mean anything to me as I only remember a few characters names and his wasn't one of them. We definitely need to get to it sometime next year.

I heard about it earlier, but looked to see if there was an AV Club article (of course there was an AV Club article) just to see your comment. I'm excited for you and I'm excited we'll eventually both have something new to watch and your excitement when it comes back is gonna be too great.

Welp. I failed at getting this out this weekend. I had legitimate reasons for Saturday, but then I somehow watched the entire 22 episode fourth season of Parks and Rec on Sunday, so….bad me. I will get to it, though I'm not sure if it'll be before or after writing about A Prefect Murder, but we'll just have to find…

It's been a busy day and I don't have my notes, so I'll get to it later tonight or this weekend. There was a power outage last night and I was planning on going to bed early, but no power meant no sleep machine which I've come to rely on to function properly. I had just gotten iTunes up to date so I could sync and get…

It may take away something visually, but it gives him an even more interesting backstory. Scarrans with faces like that are considered the ruling class. Scorpius, with his half-breed heritage, almost has the look of a ruler. His existence taunts those who are pure, especially with all of his work for the Peacekeepers.

I was a lot better at talking when I was younger. Though to be honest, it wasn't until my current job that it was ever a problem. All my previous jobs involved the public and usually a decent amount of coworkers at any given time. The current job I have is finally better now that we merged companies, but for about 2…

Cool. Then I'll hold out on watching any more. I do know some major spoilers with Twin Peaks, but they're like…general spoilers. I have no context other than a vague memory of reading it one time. Having seen a few episodes, I know it's not going to be the answers themselves that are satisfying, but the show overall,…
