i'm starting to wonder if this whole departure thing even happened, and we're just seeing the world through a bunch of crazy peoples' eyes.
I really enjoy this series, and look forward to new episodes, but theres been a ton of plot lines that start out very interesting and unravel into absolutely nothing. Im getting tired of that. If they're going to do the plot twists, they could at least have the decency to roll it into the plot. I mean how many murder mysteries out there introduce a gun/knife/blunt instrument and make the detective throw it out halfway through the book because they deem it unnecessary...

the articles i googled on it says it's supposed to be a test to the reaction you have as opposed to the answer you give, either that or nora is pregnant and they turned her down because of that, not the question.

also, anyone know why nora kept having weirdo effects on the electronic stuff all over the place?

That Matt-centric episode was kind of odd, but so captivating.

he's just better looking without it. I think most men look better clean shaven, but beards are fine if they're kept fairly close to the face.

I figured spike or remod would ask that as soon as they started that scene, but honestly, i was thrilled it was one of the freaky bizzarro dead in an alternative reality shows, not that it made any more sense than the others (or just about any show from this series), but they've been the most entertaining. Funny, interesting, weird, baffling, all the best things about the show in general.

(i have to admit though, justin theroux has a bangin body, holy shit, all muscle and tendon. What the hell does this guy do to stay in that kind of shape? enter a triathlon every week?)
