Russian scholars: what is the "vernacular" word for a black guy in Russia? Sounded like chernakoshe.

With a woman like that there is no such thing as an unflattering sweater.

ARGUS's kickball team is looking good this year.

I just googled it and it seems the answer is no (19th century), but at the same time you have to assume a classically educated guy like Crane knows Greek pretty well, thus could have put it together on his own.

"Whoa, okay, okay. Just don't light me on fire or anything."

Skye is an orphan Skrull baby!

Interesting how the machine predicted Joss setting up HR and the Russians but didn't predict that she would call the FBI (thus not needing to give Finch the numbers). How much she (the machine) is actually causing these adventures, by her predictions, is bothering me. in a good way.

I think it was "aero missive", like over the air.

Roughly half of ALL the conversations between Ichabod and Abbie (and now that i think about it, Irving) would not be out of place in ANY random sitcom from the last 50 years. That doesn't bode well for the "story".

He "sincerely"d his voice mail. Almost too cute by half… but nope!

You're all bourgeois mediocrities.

"Call me 'Google' one more time…"

I had a bunch of comments about blah blah blah, but then I just saw that new promo. Are they really gonna kill Fusco?

Oh no, Fusco.

Speaking as a relatively handsome (7.5-8 on a good day) man, this is the Truth. No one who isn't a sick narcissist spends ALL DAY thinking about how you appear to others, until you get that hint that they are willing to give you something they wouldn't give to others, only because you are relatively symmetrical.

My point is Dean once again made a metaphorical "deal with the devil" (which goes back to the pilot) without fully questioning the motives of the particular devil. What Zeke knew, when, is sorta just details.* Why? Because the writers (it seemed to me) were consciously pushing at that particular character flaw of Dean

To show us to ourselves. That can be a friendly appearance, but it doesn't need to be. Serious answer to follow. Supernatural answer: definitely the thing with the hellhounds.

Honest question: does it get ever get "weird" using animal-based idioms with your cousin the whimsical taxidermist, like "a bug in his ear"?

So, Dean just now figured out that angels can lie. They can, like, say one thing and do a completely-other thing. Jesus, Dean.

This episode gets an A for the Geauga Lake reference. Only that.
