Ugh, I wish they'd just let Howard have this one. There was no real humor to be mined from the slow rover, and it would have been nice not to have yet another plot culminate in "har look at the incompetent nerd."

God I would love it if Katrina turned out to be bad. She's so boring and sidelined. She's basically exposition + macguffin.

Did nobody tell Irving about Henry (either in his previous role as helpful sineater or in his current role as bad guy)? Also, why would Katrina refer to Jeremy as Henry? I get that that's the name by which Crane and Abbie first knew him, but did Katrina ever know "Henry" (I genuinely can't remember)?

Ah that's right, I think they even said that. Thanks!

I think a large part of the reason she goes to the Stones (besides trauma) is that she's afraid of how attached she is to Jamie, and that she might not want to go back if she doesn't go now. Plus we didn't get to see her fall in love with Frank, so of course we hold her relationship with Jamie in higher regard, but…

Might want to put a spoiler tag on this and the one below (or above depending on your sort). Some TV-watchers are very sensitive to info from the books or about future plot developments.

Question:

TO BE FAIR THIS IS A BOOK READER'S SPOILERiFFIC INTERPRETATION:

I'm the opposite. I don't want kids, but every once in a while I worry that I should want kids or will want kids when it's too late (like I'll be 60 and think fuck, I'm lonely. I wish I'd had kids). It'd be great to just not have the choice. Plus, like you said, whooo, no uterus! Party!

Yeah, when Probst was going on and on about how hard it must be to compete against each other, I really wanted the Boston couple to retort, "It's just a game, Jeff. I think our marriage can take it."

I actually rather enjoyed this book. I don't want to see what Burton does to it, however.

It's been awhile since I wore glasses (yay LASIK!), but if memory serves it's pretty easy to pop a lens out — too easy, in fact.

Thanks!

Nah, she's in San Diego. I have to admit she has a point (though east TN is beautiful too, damnit).

Sorry if this is already taken!

I said this elsewhere, but when I thought about that comment ("I'm John Rocker's girlfriend"), I came to the conclusion that she was actually saying that in a "I've managed to put up with John fucking Rocker for years, I can handle these morons" kind of way.

I did kind of like the girlfriend when she was talking about dude-bro who built the shelter. She said something like, "They'll underestimate me, but I'm a strong woman. I'm dating John Rocker" — and at first I thought she was saying dating John Rocker is what makes her awesome, which would be terrible, but then it…

Oh good, so I didn't just space and miss the part where Jaclyn said she's barren?

You're forgiven! California does that to people. :)

I appreciate Dale's acumen and sacrifice, but . . . couldn't he have just popped the lens out of one side rather than break his glasses in twain?
