Sadly, I think the IMDB already spoiled me a little on that one. Which is irritating, because normally their short teasers are pretty spoiler-free.

Well, blame my editor. (Also, I apparently mangled Rene Auberjonois's name in the photo caption. That I -do- feel bad about.)

I've read a few of the books, and yes, Baum's stated intentions never quite match up with his work. (I mean, the Tin Woodsman's back story alone…)

Yeah, that's a good assessment.

Fuck yes. This one hits the nerve-endings.

I liked that too, but didn't want to start an argument.

I didn't mention it this week! That was totally somebody else! I never said that my favorite Stephen King goodbye is the very end of 11/22/63—aw shit.

Well, I know your mom, and yeah, you should verify your sources.

Touche.

1.) Dunno. Was it even an angel? I have no idea what that baby is.

I was kind of trying to smoosh everything together at that point, but: Olivia captures Clementine, keeps her in a cage for a while (no idea why), and when Clementine tries to escape, Olivia tears off a lot of her skin. Then Olivia calls Dr. Pryce (mad scientist, accomplishes almost nothing) to get rid of the body, and…
