Re: the advertisement being spoilery—I went to a 10:00 PM Thursday night screening, and I heard several gasps and "what the fuck?"s when the first Smashy-Smashy Egg Man was revealed. I have to assume that those people love Pegg, Wright and Co. so much that they bought a ticket for the earliest possible screening

You've got a mustache.

"Did you call an exterminator?" "Why, no, what a wonderful idea. I was actually going to fasten a large wedge of cheese to my head and lay on the ground until Mickey gets hungry and decides to crawl out and snack on my face." I love Michel so much. I also enjoy Luke teasing Lorelai about Kirk (especially since it

They weren't BFFs—Lauren has explained that she was closer to David Sutcliffe, but she also said the whole enemies thing was exaggerated.

Well, he's just as hot as Jan but in a different way.

I don't know—I'm hardly a Ty fan, but I can definitely see how he would genuinely (albeit annoyingly and Byronically) think that that was the noble thing to do. And to be fair, I assume he didn't fiendishly concoct that scheme ahead of time, he just seized the moment when she walked in and saw the condom wrapper and

I didn't like Nikki's mom at all before, but that moment was awesome and now I love her.

I still can't picture the time when Will was "likable."

Even if you close your eyes it doesn't sound right. "You used sarin?" "We used sarin." And I agree with everyone else that the basketball game in the background will be Jerry's undoing, but I was more surprised that all of his damn military medals were proudly displayed in the background. If you're trying to hide your

Seriously. Even a half-assed "she's used to driving on the other side of the road!!" joke might have helped, a little.

That's basically what they did with Trinity/the reporter girl who was banging Quinn…would they dare repeat their own plotline from the last season in which this show was actually awesome? …Yeah, I guess you're right, they totally would. Ugh.

Well, at least "do not 'dude' me" was funny. And there was nudity. And I just have to laugh at the big reveal of Vogler being the Brain Surgeon (? I guess?), as it's just basically Dead All Along Edward James Olmos all over a-fucking-gain. It's appalling how stupid they think we are. And I liked that Vogler tried to

"Middle name?" "Danger." "It's Kurt. …God, I'm so sad that I know that."

I thought of that too, but I think we're supposed to think that she took it well because (a) he was with Simone before they met; it's not like he cheated on her and (b) he doesn't judge her for her wild past, so she's not gonna judge him. And (c) he was honest. I agree with every other character that they're getting

"STRIPPER'S HERE. WHERE R U?" made me laugh way too much, I don't know why. I was really kinda hoping Mary Beth's plotline wouldn't be about her size, just because that's sort of obvious, but I admit that was handled nicely (and it's not exactly unrealistic that a teenage girl would have feelings of insecurity,

OK, so who was the voice of Munch? I'm convinced it was someone famous, a la Jesse Eisenberg's 'cameo' in the pilot, but I can't place it.

I entirely agree with your points about the female characters—I liked the structure and pace of this episode, but Maggie screws up again because she's lettering her emotions get in the way? At least this time it wasn't about the Jim bullshit, but it's still annoying, especially since it all ties back together and the

Holy shit, 11 pages. That is impressive. All I have to contribute is that I cannot deal when Walt calls Jesse "son." This is the third time he's said it ("ABQ" and "Green Light" being the other times—yes, I remember these things) and it's just a punch to my heart every time because that relationship is just so twisted

Seriously, what is the writers' obsession with Hannah and making her Dexter's One True Love, No Seriously This Time (Just Forget About Rita and Lila and Lumen, LOL)?? It just all feels so tremendously forced. And I really don't like that we turned her into a domestic abuse victim to make her more sympathetic (and the

She wasn't shy about her tatas in front of him.
