hah. Kind of surprising, ain't it? I halfway expected Zachariah would have a half empty bottle on the nightstand while waiting for Boyd to show.

Well, Duffy did specify TWO passports when he was talking to his woman on the bench.

Well, she could have shot him a couple more times, just to be sure :-)

Well, this episode marks at least the third time Boyd has cold-bloodedly executed unarmed men, so I just can't see exactly how anyone could have any sympathy whatsover for him.

Yeah, that was great. It meant two different things to two different people. One was a baseball fan, the other a self-conscious hustler.

That's one of the great things about having a show on a network that isn't going to pull the rug out from under you. You don't feel the need to pull off something ridiculous to end a season.

Yeah, it has the traditional tragic elements to it, but unlike BB and more like literary tragedy, you know how it ends. The enjoyment comes in the telling. Now, I'm thinking that the producers could actually forge a new ending if they are willing to "time jump" ala LOST to Jimmy in the later seasons, after Walt is…

Sorry. It's a fairly classic essay, but then I tend to forget that I'm just old and take this kind of thing for granted.

I'm sure it does, but I doubt it's nearly as funny as Harlan Ellison's account of how he worked for Disney for half a day and was fired because of an incident in the cafeteria where he role played it all out.

I used to love that character. The Marvel bullpen artists LOATHED him. Or, rather, having to draw his costume. I was talking to a couple of artists in the con suite of a con back in the '80s, where the subject came up about why Sal Buscema did so many Spider-Man comics back in the '70s. The consensus was that, even…

Well, after the first Sin City and Kick-Ass, I think they know they CAN work, but just not well enough to throw a bunch of money at them.

Thanks. I've had Hulu plus for almost a year now and constantly kick myself for not making more use of it.

Yah, I think the Wal-Mart and supermarket sales of hard stuff is only legal here in La among the 50 states. We were the last state to raise the drinking age to 21 IIRC, mainly because parents in surrounding states ganged up and pressured their legislatures because so many teens were killing themselves and others…

Damn, I've seen, like, seven out of fifty. Combination of getting old and living in a rural area where it's twenty miles round trip to the nearest theater and three hours one way to the nearest "art" theater.

I generally drink WT101 mainly because my grandfather used to have a bottle on hand for his hot toddies at night. Living in the state founded by bootleggers (Louisiana), the distributors still pretty much run the place, which is why you can waltz into any corner convenience store here and pick up a fifth or a pint of…

You bet. I'm still kind of dreading the pen until Jansen comes back. And the rear end of the rotation is shaky as well. Same story as last season. Still not sure sending Kemp to a team in the division was such a great idea. Though watching Pederson make that catch in CF last night was pretty cool.

Well, there's been enough bourbon product placement on the show over the course of six season, you might want to go back and re-watch some episodes. For instance, if you don't mind that it might turn you into Arlo, he always seemed to have an obvious bottle of Wild Turkey 101 with him in all of his scenes.

It's reverse marketing. A lot of trailers for comedies are really funny, but that's because the studio flaks that make them take the best bits and show them to us months in advance. Then, when the movie comes out, the audiences leave the theater swearing at the film because all they saw all the good stuff for free.

Yeah, Arrow really suffers from the "too many characters" problem IMO. But now that the CW is going to shuffle a lot of the guest cast in both Arrow and Flash to the new show next season, they won't have to keep trying to shoehorn them into either program.

Or have them start picking up space trash and call it "Quark 2: The Remake."
