Who was that guy, even? I had no idea what was going on. Where did he come from and how does Jenny know him?

We've heard of Betsy Ross before — Crane told a story about her relentlessly pursuing him and his having to hide in a cupboard to get away from her. This Betsy Ross is a lame retcon.

It reeks — again — of studio meddling, although it was studio meddling that saved it at the very end of last season by getting rid of Katrina. That or they really, legitimately, are not paying attention to feedback which just means they'll go back to telling shitty stories. I watched this episode a second time and

Word. The only person I care about is Oliver and I am like *deeply* emotionally invested in his happiness and success as a character.

I think I know the "point" you were trying to make. Invalid, on all counts.

Apparently she was a bit of a hot ticket, but she was a Quaker and back in those days Quakers held to the same idea of "plain" as the Amish do today so her hot-ticketness would have been wrapped in some very plain-looking attire and probably a bonnet on her head. She did have a bit of a wild streak though as she

Have you seen her in this? She's atrocious. A high-school student could do a better job. She sounds like she's reading lines off a cue card that she's never seen before.

If they needed a Colonial counterpart for Crane, they should have just gone with Grace Dixon. I'd love to see a Grace Dixon/Ichabod Crane/Ben Franklin triumvirate of Colonial-era demonic Illuminati Freemason Revolution shenanigans.

Boy the pacing this season is so bad. I was worried this would happen when I watched a few eps of "The Glades", which the new showrunner also wrote and produced, and that's one of the worst shows I've ever watched. I gave up after 2.5 episodes, I just couldn't take the boredom (as you note). It read like it really

For real. Zzzzzz.

Well, I'm from the North so our Baptists tend to be a little more well-to-do! Certainly they dress very preppy, from my recollection but that was a long time ago.

1) No, why would it?

It was pretty special. Beautiful location, great mission, good people running the show. If you talk to them, give them a shout-out from an old China Camp camper.

I just finished it on a binge-watch. Every episode is better than the last, the ending is absolutely spectacular.

Snap! I'm old so I was there in the late 80s. Your friends were probably counselors much more recently than that. It was such a great camp, I loved it.

Me too! I went to Friend's Camp in South China, as I recall it was a Baptist camp across the lake from us. We were the dirty hippie Quaker camp.

There's a Raspberry Pi in the server closet of my office. Pretty much anyone who works with computers knows what they are, its not a grand conspiracy by Apple or anyone else to suppress knowledge.

Are people still making that "joke"? It feels very 2013 to me.

Yes.

If there's anything that could make me hate Ready Player One even more, it would be hearing it read by Wil Wheaton.
