I love when Probst condescendingly calls it an "honor." Like when Clayton got to keep his buff — looks like he got another quittin' souvenir to go with that idol.

I assume the players take their contacts out before Tribal since they'll want to get right to bed back at camp.

Logistics question on that Immunity Challenge: is it allowed (or possible) to solve the puzzle horizontally on the table beforehand, then just slide all the pieces in afterward? Or is the vertical-ness of solving it the entire point?

I really thought the pieces would've been jumbled so that you'd have to strategically organize their placement in anticipation of the next bag. Instead, when Jeff called it a "puzzle" I was just like, "Sure."

Man, that whole Aras thing read to me as completely transparent and obvious — not smart or devious at all. I don't see how that won't backfire on Tyson.

That's definitely the right move.

Yeah, it's an odder and odder strategy the more I think about it. I guess the counterargument to that is that taking out a physically stronger player (read, unfortunately: man) is a higher priority.

Dang it. I'm so sad I missed the signups for this.

Hey! It's the first week I'm actually watching the episode on Wednesday night. Missed you guys?

My RCN guide said, "Tribal council becomes wild and unpredictable," which, well, sure.

Yet one of the best moments in that movie — when Scott trips, rolls, and stands up like nothing happened — was entirely an accident, and Scott committed to it. He still did that despite thinking it was a "serious" movie?

My immediate thought was the long tracking shot in Atonement, which looked impressive but made it all too clear that it was meant to be impressive. (And didn't necessarily help me sympathize with what's-his-face.)

So far the show's actually been running until 10:04, which means it's only about five extra minutes of commercials, but still.

I don't understand the complaint. Season 3 (16 episodes) of The Walking Dead is $42.99 for HD. Is this lawsuit saying they would have preferred to pay $42.99 for the entire fifth season, rather than $45.98 for each half together?

Good insight as to Mike's reason for working for Saul! I wouldn't have made that connection.

Here's a question a friend posed to me, which didn't bother me at the time, but:

And the number of barrels.

Gus had no direct association with Saul. The connection was Mike, who worked for them both (and presumably other shysters).

After starting Friday Night Lights, it's weird to see Rankin standing.

This is the episode that stuck with me the most! I always cheered when it came on (because it scared me so much?).
