Awwwww, yeah, that's a good one. I've been known to quote that kitty thing a time or two just for the hell of it.

Yep, there goes my cheerful mood for the day, thank you.

Mmhm. So often women think they'll be able to change a guy's bad behavior, no problem.

I love, love Serling's extensive vocabulary and way with description. The guy clearly had a strong, deep love of words.

I have yet to see this one. Something else to track down at some point. Sounds wonderfully terrifying.

So true. And the way they shift back and forth between her walking and the man walking, their paces increasing…great use of tension there.

I'll have to be sure to pop by the Vox site at some point, then. Hate to see you go, but congrats on the new job!

Completely blanked on that. Good catch.

Your sentiments are mine, as I've noted in this thread, but unfortunately, from what I've heard with abusive relationships, leaving is often much easier said than done, no matter how much you may want to.

Agreed. I do think it was trying to protect the daughter, but either way, neither option bodes well for her stepdad in the end. Or her mom, if the threat at the end towards her is anything to go by.

I have to say, I'm kind of morbidly intrigued as to the backstory on the couple in that episode. What on earth attracted them to each other in the first place (if anything)? And the wife doesn't seem all that deeply shocked by her husband's treatment of her daughter throughout. She's irritated and upset, yes, but she…

I never thought we were, too. I find it interesting that the review for the episode suggests otherwise. I know they meant more in the sense of trying to deal with something that's a direct threat to you-anyone would be terrified if they were in this guy's shoes, after all. But still…

I want to watch this, and yet I don't. Hm.

Ha, no-I honestly don't know where I got the inspiration for the idea from, actually. I just remember the mother died and the daughter lived, but the thing still backfired on her somehow, too.

Oh, wow. That's a shame. I'm gonna miss your reviews.

Yeah, ventriloquist dummies I will back everyone else up on. Those are just…so wrong.

I'm officially envious of anyone who's got issues of that lying around.

On that note, next week's your last review for the show? This is sad news.

Is it weird that I'm kind of curious to see this now?

I would love to read this story.
