It's a reference to the musical "Sunday in the Park With George," about the painter George Seurat, who Patinkin played.

“Stop it, children! We do not speak such certainties in this house!”

Yeah, I hated Dreamz for that. Still do, I think. Maybe that's why I'm still sweet on Sugar.

Hilarious; I didn't notice your comments about "Penny Can!" before I posted mine, but it's good to know I wasn't alone on that one.

Yes, hairband > playground, as I believe Cougar Town has proven time and again.

Agreed, but my personal favorite balls-on move was Richard winning the game after realizing that he didn't *need* to win the final challenge.

There are a *lot* of people who aren't even playing this game, so many that one of them is most likely going to win after the inevitable hate-fest. Good on Albert for at least considering the need for jury votes.

I disagree; he's playing this game the way that he probably watched Boston Rob successfully play it last year, with that whole mafioso attitude. He may not be tightening the reins as much as Rob, but his laid-back attitude is working, even now that his tribe is apparently starving.

And why is nobody concerned with Coach still having the immunity idol? I mean, you would think that one would want to flush it out; giving an experienced player this much control over his fate — even if he's been pretty bad in challenges thus far — is a huge mistake.

As I've said before, this is the sort of trick that directors and writers play all the time, giving you just enough information to let you draw your own conclusions as both you and I have done. My argument is not that the Professor *must* be Travis's noncorporeal dark passenger — and it seems so obvious that he is,

Mind you, I don't think any of this has been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt — it just seems so likely a scenario that if the Professor turns out to be a real person, this season will become even weaker.

The professor is a real person, just as Dexter's father is a real person. But they've both died, and have left a psychic impression on the people they were closest with — Travis and Dexter. (Same reason that the quite dead Ice Truck Killer shows up again this week.)

By the way, did it bother anybody else that Trinity's son tried to kill Dexter? He seemed pretty sincere about wanting to be killed himself, so riddled with guilt was he, so it's sort of obnoxious for the writers to fake us out for even one second more with this pretentious little showdown.

I can see you've really thought this situation out. Got someone locked up in your own basement, do we? Really beside the point, though; the situation is that of an addled testimony. She's suggesting that there were two people, while leaving the writers of the show plenty of room to say that there was only ever one

Yeah, surprised that got missed in the main recap. Pretty clear that he stole Ray's cash, and if not Tanya's *directly*, then certainly at least the money she put up for his bail (which will now most likely default). The fact that he left a note gives me hope that he may return — if he sees the opportunity for more

I disagree. Charlie's lines have been making me laugh, as have Lenore's, but I thought the show was stronger last season, and if it's better than Dexter, it's only because Dexter's even more ridiculous and shallow. Certainly not more entertaining than The Good Wife, though, unless you've been eating government cheese

Agreed. I know that a lot of people have been saying that Hung is better this season, but I know for sure that I liked Hung more last year when it was still at least *trying* to be about real characters, and not just comic stereotypes in exaggerated, semi-farcical situations.

(3) She never mentions hearing the Professor's voice. She just mentions that she keeps hearing the younger one *mention* the professor. She's assuming, as the producers want the stupider audience members to do (or the smarter ones, pending a psych-out that will make about as much sense as anything this season), that

Not that it's needed, but further evidence in the case of Ghost Geller:

Well now I feel like a stranger . . . in some sort of strange land. You feel me, me droog?
