Thank you for this point about Victor! As a teacher, I am infuriated by this plot line! Victor seems to clearly have dyslexia and should be receiving some sort of intervention services at school — obviously repeating fourth grade would be completely pointless. Max's Asperger's was handled way better than this.

Eh, eventually you learn to kind of love it, like your good-for-nothing but lovable younger brother.

One of the things I loved about this episode was that it seems for much of the episode that they're really driving home the whole "Joan is like a Jaguar" simile, almost hitting it over the head during the "date" scene. If Joan Harris isn't the woman that you dream about but could never have (like the women in the…

Sorry, I think you mean best song ever. "When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet / Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole buncha sonnets." It may be my favorite lyric of all time.

No way is she upset because she wanted to be an actress. Maybe that's what her father thinks because he's bitter that she's not a starving artist, but Megan is clearly a natural copywriter and is thrilled about the work she's doing. Remember in the last episode when she was annoyed at Don because he didn't seem to…

(edit: replied to wrong post)

What about The Land Before Time? That was a favorite when I was a kid, and I have never not cried when the little dinosaur licks his own shadow because he thinks it's his dead mom…

@TheTuna — Totally agree with these points, except for one. I don't think it's quite fair to hold Willow to the standard of never acting on physical attraction. People change as they get older and as they get more comfortable in their sexuality, and Willow can't be expected to never have purely physical attractions…

Ugh, the worst part is that if the movie is at all successful, there will be a generation of kids who will think that THIS pile of shit is what Buffy is all about, and it will go down in history as a Twilight knock off instead of the other way around.

sorry, no, this is an incorrect statement

@Spoiler: Yeah, but Willow and Xander's friend died in Season 1 — that's an entirely different creature than Season 5. They've also had five years now to get to know Joyce. That's pretty significant, I'd say. I'd be pretty horrified and devastated if one of my close friends of five years' parents died, especially if…

Clever!!

Good call on it being a good thing that we didn't really learn what the island was all about. I think it's one of the points of the show that the characters are just as confused as we are — we used to think of Ben as some terrifying all-knowing evil genius, and look where he ended up — not knowing much more than…

yes, obvious fan-pleasers, and i lapped it right up

Jin's accent
Anyone notice that Jin's accent pretty much disappeared when he was in a dire life-or-death situation? I think perhaps Daniel Dae Kim couldn't quite handle running around waist-deep in water hauling heavy things and also keeping up the Korean accent. Or Jin's just totally assimilated.

I thought the same thing, St. God. And Ommsena, your explanation makes sense, but it's still frustrating. He didn't do anything wrong (really)!

It wasn't a deleted scene — it was when Keamy was blowing stuff up, and right after (or while?) Alex was killed. Claire was in an Others cabin that was blown up, and it was weird at the time that she seemed to come out of it alive. She acted very weird after that moment, and then wandered off.
