It's always the laid-back types that seem to do well with this sort of thing. They're always a little bit sharper than we give them credit for being. The hippies a few seasons back were much the same way—viewers didn't really like them because they were so weird at first blush, but their relaxed style worked out well…

Indeed. Cry when there's an actual thing going on. It's way too early for the Killer Fatigue, especially given that they spent most of this leg on a plane and then a train. At one point we got a breakdown during an interview, not even in the heat of racing. What the hell?

You could see some of this in Andy Dehnart's Playboy article a month or two back (YES! I bought it for the article, for real! Goddamn, I'm an old guy now). Coach got a pretty significant mention in that article, and he's clearly been affected by other peoples' perceptions of him.

I'm with you on this one. I thought that there was a puzzle involved, and then, (at least from an editing standpoint), not so much. I'll concede the possibility of editing, given that Phil's in-car video congratulated players for "figuring out" that they were to go to Taipei, and it's not as though they suddenly said…

There's a shot that we got in the previews before the season started that showed a hand lifting the tin mask. I had to think that the mask not being on Harrow's face didn't bode well for the character.

Not by a long shot.

There were a couple of seasons where the idol was buried, but I think the "Hide in Plain Sight" idols in China were pretty great, too.

Yeh, I just saw that. RIP, Frances Bay.

Similarly, there are a couple of episodes of The Honeymooners where you can hear some genuine audience reaction. I'm thinking about the episode where Ralph's on roller skates and someone says "Steady, now!" and another one where Ralph and Norton are on a train and someone actually gives away the punchline before…

I don't think it much matters how long he's been gone. Do we have any reason to believe that he WASN'T a vampire last time we saw him?

Best firstie ever.

The previews suggested that this will come up again in the next ep.

I'd just missed the whole kerfluffle on TWoP, but it was fun to see everybody taking the episode to heart. Whenever a moderator on the TWW forums changed, even temporarily, there was usually a joke about taking on the "muu-muu and Parliaments" mantle.

DIt's the photo that accompanies that line that sold it for me.

You can't fool us, zxcvb; that's Eagleton's line.

It doesn't much matter at this point, since Summer's Eve already killed the campaign.

I'm thinking that there's something up with Tara as well, just that she doesn't really know about it. Perhaps Sookie wasn't really hallucinating a couple of weeks ago when Tara startled her.

I dunno, given the protest marches that take place in Plymouth, Mass. every Thanksgiving, it's probably not out of line for these two to show up on top of the holiday to try and disrupt things. Bear in mind also that they threatened CJ with having the press on speed dial.

There were a few theaters in my area that were showing this film for the Bicentennial, and I remember seeing it on a field trip (I was in Jr High at the time).
