    The woman to whom Evy was speaking in Spanish at the beginning of the episode makes the point to the principal that Evy confided in her, not in him, her implication being that Evy didn't trust him to act on her behalf.

    I'm on it.

    You thought Lili Taylor was the worst? I know she has bullheadedly pursued what she perceives to be justice despite her son's objections (in this she reminds me of men in old TV rape stories, who always run off to seek violent vengeance instead of giving their wives/girlfriends the comfort and support they need), but

    It is tremendously subtle, after all.

    I have begun to be bothered that all zombies sound alike.

    It's a lot harder to kill with a knife than with a gun. It's so up close and personal.

    That was terrible. Worse, it was boring.

    I was so glad the Kindress (such a dumb name) did not react to her suitor as Elsa Lanchester did.

    Oof—mac and cheese AND cheesecake?!

    I had never heard it before today and, strangely enough, it also featured in the show I watched just before this one. SPOOKY! (And if it crops up in the next thing I watch, I will be seriously creeped.)

    "My personal view is that it ought to be a factor" — Hear, hear!

    Many seasons ago.

    I'm sure someone has already said this, but I'm too lazy to check: The so-called Homeland Security agents were fakes seeking, as Miller says, "retribution."

    Oh, she looks ancient, which is why I had to confirm whether it was within the realms of possibility for her to have a kid that age. For how could I have suspended my disbelief for the shark if the movie had tried to make me believe that a woman had squirted out a child when she was well past her "fertilize by" date?

    So which is the naughty one?

    I disagree. Foreshadowing was unnecessary, since the kid had already been shown to be a traumatized liability, so to me it came off as no more than a cheap way to end the first half of the season on a suspenseful note that at least the writers could've resolved, however perfunctorily.

    My point is that zeds walking in front of one would do nothing to deter an attack from behind or the side—at least in terms of visual camouflage. If the wind were blowing in the right direction, I suppose the smell might serve to confuse (but by that reasoning walking behind a zombie with the wind blowing in one's

    Which is why I prefer Z NATION.

    Still don't get why so many of 'em seemed to be inexorably drawn to walk straight into the fire. Oh well.

    To be fair, a lot of those zombies were already pretty decomposed, so they'd burn down more quickly. Not quickly enough, of course.
