That dress looks nice on Scarlett. Never underestimate the power of understatement. Lady Gaga, take note.
What gets me is the citizens’ reports of a man with a sword walking around their community. They’ve never seen a blind guy before? Sheesh.
October 18th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Speaking of Binders, did anyone visit the BindersFullofWomen.com. It’s run by American Bridge 21st Century PAC.
It says they are, and I quote “a progressive research and communications organization committed to holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions and helping you ascertain when Republican candidates are pretending to be something they’re not.”
Why not hold ALL politicians accountable? As far as I’m concerned you toss all of them in a barrel and pull one out, and it’s the same as the next. Fock this Rep./Dem bullshit. They’re all riding free cash train. How many have actually had a real job and not jumped out right of college/military background into politics?

I find it funny that one pageant mom almost got her kid taken away for dressing her slutty and tanning mom almost did for putting her kid in a tanning bed. However, Boo Boo is allowed to slowly become an obese child and that is perfectly okay.
October 18th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
this one definitely raised the stakes. being the 3rd or 4th episode of the season i can’t wait to see how they dial it up in towards the finale.

October 18th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
I’ll admit it, I’ve caught 2 episodes of this show, since I had seen this little girl on Toddlers & Tiaras (mindless entertainment), but after watching this show you can really tell this family loves one another. And the Mother, I’m sure she’s the butt of internet jokes, she does everything for that family and doing the best she can for all of them. I respect that.
October 18th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
This episode made me consider giving it up. (SPOILER?) No effing way a US congressman can swing that kind of drop everything task when he’s due to speak that night.
October 18th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
*spoiler alert*
Doesn’t it seem really unlikely that they would really use Brody to move the tailor? A congressman who was recognized in that town only months earlier. Why risk your greatest assest doing a job a grunt could do?
October 18th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Troy Polamalu won’t play Sunday in Cincinnati. He probably won’t play next week or the week after that, not with a torn calf muscle that has turned his right leg a hideous shade of purple and red.
It’s clear the Browns will win the division at 8-8. Damn that injury sounds awful.

Chitwood I think some of that also is part b/c military guys vote from around the world and for some reasons, those dont come in right away. I am sure this varies state-to-state. I remember reading that in the Gore-Bush 2000 nonsense.

Either that or he’s going to end up as a double agent working with Saul and Carrie to solve terrorist mysteries
October 18th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Justin, why?
why? thats easy. JT has run through countless numbers of hot women, and gets to settle down (at least for a year) with one of the hottest women on the planet. not to mention he gets to bury his face in the hottest butt ever. afer a year, he leaves her. shows he can committ. its a good move.

I’m wondering the same thing. Now that the CIA knows in fact that he is a traitor the only way he can last past the season is if they turn him again. Does that make him a triple agent?

Absentee ballots are always counted. Always. I don’t want to bore you with too much detail, but so long as they are postmarked by or on election day, they will be counted. Even provisional ballots get counted, assuming they are accepted by the county board during canvasing.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
if he’s turned, though, i don’t see it as a natural progression of the plot and characters, i see it more of just changing things to keep the actors on the show.
i mean, let’s say he’s found out and turned. he’s got to drop out of politics, being the VP and a double agent is beyond feasible in anyway. He’d have access to more information than the CIA can control and he’d be a massive liability.

Girls sports in general. I work in low level college athletics, and I’ve seen exactly three fights in seven years. All of them were in women’s soccer games.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
Yeah that was not very realistic. But not as bad as Brody having a cell phone and using it to warn Abu Nazir inside the CIA.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
What is Timberlake thinking?
Dollar signs and career. He hasn’t done anything in a few years. His handlers think settling down will bring back the women that are married that were girls when he got famous. I mean, he has more money than he’ll ever need, but once an ego gets that big, it needs to be continually fed with fame.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
It makes the show marginally less ridiculous than Dexter.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:13 AM

if you vote, somebody counts it. However, if you live in North Carolina (or Vermont), your vote really doesn’t matter. Those states are already decided.
We voted absentee about a month ago, because we’re actually going to beautiful Pittsburgh during that week. Woohoo.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
There was a lot wrong with that scene. Brody arrives just as the operation is about to go down and as a low level congressman allowed to sit in and watch? Not to mention Beirut is like 6 time zones away but it seems to be afternoon both there and in D.C.
I hate to admit this but I didn’t get the significance of the text May 1 right away. Duh…May day.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Especially when you consider two of his Cass Tech teammates from last year and another from this year are Wolverines.

October 18th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
that’s why i think, if you take it at face value that if the woman is working for Nazir it seems like a really bad idea to send Brody out there. but if you think about it, Nazir sees his value, and brody saved his life, why would he order this woman to have Brody go get the tailor, unless he was trying to put brody in harms way?
that’s what makes me think this woman is not working with Nazir, or at least has ulterior motives, and is making brody think she’s with him.

As I pull into the fire station parking lot to vote, I get greeted with an elderly lady holding a 3′picture of a fetus.
I love that lady. I have pretended to act like it’s the cutest picture ever. They never find it very funny.
My favorite part about those people (and I’m assuming this lady is an old catholic) is that they are so rigid in their position. Life begins at conception, and now conception begins at ejaculation, so the morning after pill is murder, too.
But rubbering up is also a heinous sin.

It’s not even whole states anymore. They’ve got it down to specific counties in the contested states.
Exactly. A gal I work with is a diehard Democrat and lives in Kansas. She knows her presidentail (and more and more also local office) vote is worthless here so she is part of some group that is calling people in some district in Florida. I told her that sounds annoying. She is a diehard and says since her vote won’t count here, she’ll put effort into making sure a vote that matters is placed. I asked her how many people just hang up on her and she said almost every call. Good use of your time, Missy!
October 18th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
I really enjoy it. I’m like 6-7 episodes through. Brody just literally told Carrie to fuck off.
His involvement was just revealed in quite a cliffhanger. Whatever his fate, I hope it’s not as bad as Mike gets it. What a dick.

The Planned Parenthood here is across the street from my busstop downtown, so every day when I leave work I get to watch the protesters stand there with their dead baby signs, they just stand there.
Two favorite things
1) The parents who force their children to come protest with them, great parents.
2) The fact that the protest zone is in front of a gay bar that I frequent that is one of the most hedonistic dick suckingest places on Earth outside of Coop’s garage.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Why is Ndub and CRM fighting? I missed the back story.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
It’s going to be a weird season. It’s only 13 episodes. I read somewhere it’ll go like four episodes, break for a while, go 2-3, break then finish with whatever is left in the spring.
I’m just glad Fox is allowing Wyman (and Pinkner even though he left before this season) a chance to to finish the story despite the ratings.

There’s no “fight.” There’s no “back story.” I’ve only expressed that I don’t like his sense of humor or writing style. It’s nothing personal.

He suffered a minor concussion last Sunday
No such thing. Fuck Grantland for praising someone for playing with a concussion.
semantics.
read this:
Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are usually temporary, but can include problems with headache, concentration, memory, judgment, balance and coordination.
Although concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head, they can also occur when the head and upper body are violently shaken. These injuries can cause a loss of consciousness, but most concussions do not. Because of this, some people have concussions and don’t realize it.
Concussions are common, particularly if you play a contact sport, such as football. But every concussion injures your brain to some extent. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Luckily, most concussive traumatic brain injuries are mild, and people usually recover fully.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
almost always have the best karaoke,
Not a judgement call here, but I run in the opposite direction when I see a karaoke bar.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
I didn’t realize it was only 13 episodes. Fringe is one of those shows I’m very surprised didn’t see more success. Definetly a top 5 show for me.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
A sports bar with a bunch of latently homosexual meatheads chest bumping and high fiving wearing their cute little polyester uniforms and pouring down red bull and vodka during a football game is miles “gayer” than most gay bars.

it actually says, on the mayo clinic’s website that most traumatic brain injuries ARE mild. That’s what i linked, that’s what you read, that’s what you pasted, and decided wasn’t the case.
Mild and minor have similar meanings, in this context.

They do a great crossover job between digital and print. The magazine is easy to read and packed full of neat shit with ads that aren’t intrusive. Dude… $12 for 12 issues is beyond awesome for such a magazine.

it’s kinda awkward taking a leak in a gay bar, because so many dudes at gay bars think that’s a hookup spot. And they want to look at your cock while you’re peeing. Which is awkward. Or was, 15 years ago when I went to bars or gay bars.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Cowboy Mike – since you frequent gay bars to get your drink on and avoid meatheads, do you get hit on by guys or is gaydar a real thing?
October 18th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
When I was single these were the best. My best friend is gay so it worked perfect for both of us.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Thanks Captain Semantics. People use “minor concussion” to suggest it isn’t as bad. I understand the medical definition, what I’m saying is that what sports have shown us the last twenty years is that concussions are treated far too lightly and that attitude does not help.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Cowboy Mike – since you frequent gay bars to get your drink on and avoid meatheads, do you get hit on by guys or is gaydar a real thing?
it’s like an affirmation thing for him. The more times he can tell people he ‘isn’t gay,’ the better for his psyche.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Yeah, I’ve been fortunate to avoid what everyone has said this morning. It’s a great show and I’d hate to ruin my watching experience. How far along are you?
October 18th, 2012 at 9:56 AM

Most of the guys at the one I goto know my girlfriend, so not really, but I definitely have in the past many times. Though one thing my gay friends love doing is fucking straight guys so if gaydar IS real it doesn’t exactly stop them.

Fringe was a great show now it’s just gone in so many directions it’s gotten convoluted. I feel like J.J introduced Time Travel and Alternate Realities because he backed himself into a corner with earlier story lines. That’s not to say I don’t still enjoy it, I do, and I’m glad it get’s to finish on it’s own terms but it could have been so much better.
October 18th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Woody’s in Toronto is dirt cheap but there will be disturbing pornography on. Women in gay bars seemingly a plague to that community because they just wild out, quite a few gay bars have banned bachelorette parties. It is extremely easy to pick up a woman in a gay bar because:
1. They get really wasted
2. Been one of the only girls dancing with fit well dressed men all night
3. Those fit well dressed men have been groping them all night with impunity for novelty sake
4. They’ve been watching porn
5. “You’re like sooooo open minded” for being there
6. They get really really wasted

Believe or not, I just caught Episode 1, in the middle of last week and have not seen 2-4 since then. My wife got me introduced to this show this past summer, catching up on Season 1 thru On Demand. I mentioned to her over the week we had some Homeland episodes to watch, but we never got to. I’ve got to make time this weekend, dammit.

No. He launched the concept, but like every one of his shows, including Fringe, he’s only an executive producer. He doesn’t write or direct. He did the pilot episode of LOST and, of course, Alias and Felicity were HIS shows, but everything else – Alcatraz, Person of Interest, Revolution, Fringe – he only develops concepts then turns it over.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
He just “executive produced” it. Which means he did nothing and got a few hundred grand to let them slap his name on it.

that show was ok, feel bad for saying this, but hurley really limited what his character did on that show and it hurt the story.

Alcatraz…I still don’t know how I feel about it. I only watched it because I have a thing for Sarah Jones. But it was just another concept that ended poorly. Person Of Interest is rather good though, I do enjoy that. Revolution has been awful. I’m done with it.

Lindelof gets far too much shit for re-writing a script that was solid to begin with. Spaihts did some awesome work, but Ridley Scott got a lot of push from the production studio to steer away from Alien and create a more original storyline. So they brought in Lindelof and told him to do this, this and that while also keeping this, this and that because the studio said so. Very tough spot and you’ve got two completely different scripts smashed poorly into one, thus limiting what Prometheus could have been. I still liked it.

when they did that, though, she had to be in turtlenecks and jackets, because those beauties weren’t meant to be run with unless they were strapped down tight. So she looked ridiculous while running in a pushup bra, and even more ridiculous standing there in a tight turtleneck and a velvet sportcoat with turned up man khakis and tennis shoes.

the deleted scenes should never have been deleted. one of the few instances where they actually would have added to the story and character development that was lacking in the final cut.

Should we leave it in, Pete?” “What? No, fuck you. Cut it, just stop showing the characters instead of explaining what happened to them, and throw in another hour of Sam and Frodo walking while Sam tries to convince Frodo that Gollum is evil.
