No you got to it exactly. The problem was that the boring part just continued until they finally found out who killed the girl, by which point you no longer really cared.

Once again the lack of any resemblance to actual locations in Seattle was kind of a downer. The pond with all the bodies in it (and really, they were just dropped in there floating, in high-viz bags no less) was supposedly in South Seattle near Boeing Field. Like…where? Next to the Duwamish?
Or how the overhead shots…

Inside SeaTac airport there's a tiny bubble dimension where Quiznos won; it's the only location I've seen in awhile, although they've apparently simplified their sandwiches to make them more cost-competitie/worse.

Bad news, everyone. Those 'tards over in Essen flat-out refuse to change their failure analysis rules to conform with ours, so it looks like we're going to have to run the whole validation process based on two arbitrarily different sets of criteria.

Jeez. I feel like that would awaken something in all of us.

Wow! A BMW! Tell us more!

Aaaaand HOLD, we're in a HOLD people!

If you didn't want to burn Dane Cook alive after watching "Good Luck Chuck" there was something wrong with you. i can't imagine this is different.

Thanks!

The whole witch hunting thing didn't really come into fashion until later on in the 15th century.

At that point in time literally anything was preferable to going back to Sicily. Plus if you're Robert Guiscard's son you have some massive shoes to fill.

Hey! Don't badmouth Runciman, those books are classic! My high school library had copies for some reason and I snuck in there to read them during lunch instead of having friends.

Kindgom of Heaven transforms from a meh historical drama into an awesome near classic when you actually include the scenes that explain character motivation.

Are you not familiar with our treasured national custom of giving our girls Scottish clan names for first names?

ITS JUST A COMPLICATED GAME!

Especially since 'The Americans' thinks that Golden Earring is the go-to for wrapping up the season. Ugh.

I think he's saying that because these people are boring office people with boring office jobs then they must have shitty Batemanesque musical tastes. Which is nonsense.

We're through the looking glass here people.

I think they'll have to be expanding the storyline to Russia or something. There's no way KGB would send her back to the Embassy in DC at this point (or any western posting, since she would probably just defect immediately).
