Perhaps because it was trying to warn him that it was his coming action (going to the press) that would presage disaster for everyone else.

" But she seemed really destroyed when she found out the Machine had moved, which was puzzling since it's kind of exactly what she would have wanted."

When I first saw her as a blonde I thought it was a mistake, but this show's managed to make that look really bring out the blue chips in her (otherwise green?) eyes. Really striking.

He had a severed arm?

This is probably some weird heresy to suggest (in general, maybe not here given the negative tone of the comments) but the Glee club should probably have flat out lost again. They lost the first round this season, and only got back in by a fluke. But they never really rallied. This episode devolved into out-and-out…

Eyeball test?

Do you think they couldn't get her back for this role at the last minute?

Though they did nearly all get murdered as a result of that knowledge, pretty quickly after having achieved it. I bought it.

I would too, if it didn't make me sound like Peter Lorre in The Maltese Falcon to say it.

Contract problems if I recall. I think there was some sort of scheduling clash.

That's how I read it, but I though I might have been projecting.

Not "the Groobies"?

Why doesn't she get more work? She's great.

He seemed to be pushing the fetish angle. It's not just that's she's black, it's that she was heavy too.

I don't care what James Wolk is doing, I just care that I can see him. Bonus points for vague homoeroticism (though I probably should deduct points for it being with Pete this week).

Incidentally, the guy who does it was on the show last season. Playing a grizzled old man perhaps without too many teeth. Type casting!

One more episode, I believe. And the second half to this episode, judging by the title. Probably more of the same flashbacks then.

I don't understand how Regina could have the concept of a "fail safe" from inside Far, Far Away (or wherever it is). It's this weird mix of fantasy language of the sort of sub-thriller language that JJ Abrahms (and Abrahms-like) shows use that really puts me off Once Upon A Time more than anything else.

Or it could happen next season on the show.

"What bothers me more is that it doesn't have many modes, meaning the themes are often arranged the same way with the same instrumentation."
