+1 on all counts.

occono: I meant the fictional episodes of The Wire.

In my defense it was like 2 in the morning and these girls all lack any traits that make me want to remember them. I was definitely stabbing in the dark.

Claire
Eh, I didn't like the resolve to the Claire story. Her little talk with Luke made it seem like she was in fact playing them all for sympathy and to get her way. Thats not funny, its weird.

And then Ellie just recycled her joke and Laurie was all for it. I loved that. "My life is so much better with you in it."

Travis's Roommate
Whats his name, Kyle? Kenny? The pancake? He is hilarious.

Montage
I hate montages with a passion that burns inside me and I was laughing hysterically as Jules adjusted to life aboard the boat.

Next week on… Survivor
Prediction for next week based on the preview: Rob asks Natalie to get rid of Audrey or Ashley and the plan backfires. Their friendship outweighs his strategic skill. Numerous arguments erupt among the tribe.

Yeah, he has written a couple of books (and some kids books I havent read). Both enjoyable.

As someone else just pointed out…
HEAVYWEIGHTS.

Hmm..
I think the site ate my last comment.

My dad died during filming.

I would kill to see those episodes.

Freaks and Geeks
Its EXACTLY like World War II.

lol, that is almost the exact opposite of what Phillip meant.

My Sprint Reunion Rationale
1 person gets to see their family, 2 people get to see their family, or 6 people get to see their families. Mathematically 1 person is the loser in that scenario so I wouldn't go with that.

I was fascinated with it until they started to stockpile people a few weeks ago. If they had kept it consistent with two people staying on redemption and dueling each week I wouldn't mind one of them coming back so late in the game. Now I just find it awkward.

The average age and demographic of Survivor means that they need to fill the show with three things to get people to keep watching Sprint sponsored reunions and Craftsman sponsored shelters. 1) Military men 2) Religious folk 3) Attractive young women (who will slowly become awkwardly emaciated young women).

Only outcome…
The only way there could possibly by an entertaining episode outside of the finale at this point is if Matt comes back and turns the Ometepe tribe into some sort of cult. A cult that will not only eliminate Rob but burn him at the stake. They're clearly susceptible and Matt's clearly ready for it.

I was so nervous that he was going to just run away with the top half and leave the bottom buried. Nervous but also hoping for it.
