That woman is so <i>hilarious<\/i>.  Drinking wine, talking blithely about her &#8220;vaginal rejuvenation surgery&#8221;, completely unaware of how inappropriate she is.  She hadn&#8217;t been in the first couple of episodes, and I missed her wacko evil-ness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Nate is a self-righteous dipshit.  Love him, still think he&#8217;s hot, but he&#8217;s such a TYPE, isn&#8217;t he?  That righteous &#8220;I am more enlightened than all of you&#8221; type.    When he&#8217;s at the grieving group and he says, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m trying to get through the day, I&#8217;m trying to grieve&#8230;&#8221;  all I could think was: &#8220;Yeah, and you treat your family like CRAP, you USE them, you are an ASS to them&#8230;&#8221;  For being such a Mr. Self Help guy, he sure is dense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; The whole scene in the kitchen, where Nate had his damn kid in his arms during a long conversation with his mother and Claire &#8211; and the kid (I am so sick of seeing Nate with that stupid KID) &#8211; the kid was just sitting there, placidly in his arms. <i> The entire time<\/i>.  Er &#8230; from what planet does THAT baby come?  She never wriggles, she never squirms, she never freakin&#8217; MOVES.  Also:  the man has never heard of HIGH CHAIRS?????  Buy a high chair, Nate, do it now.  Buy a high chair, buy a stroller, please, I beg you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; The entire abduction scene was very unexpected &#8211; and kind of horrible. I couldn&#8217;t help but put myself in David&#8217;s shoes.  One of my greatest fears in life is to have something like that happen to me.  And that moment when you realize: Wow.  The person calling all the shots right now is completely insane, and I am in grave danger.  The actor playing that kid was unbelievable, I thought.  He played a perfectly amoral person.  A babyfaced kid, with no self, no conscience, and yet with a weird open-eyed charm which sucked David right in.  That was a PLUM part for that kid.  He did a great job.  I thought the entire scene was, inadvertently, an advertisement for the 2nd Amendment.  I was DYING to watch that kid get blown away.  I was DYING to see him get hurt.  What a psychopath.  Great acting job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I was SO happy to see Brooke Smith &#8211; the actress who played Claire&#8217;s photography teacher.  You may recognize her as the chick trapped at the bottom of the well, throughout <i>Silence of the Lambs<\/i>.  If Brooke Smith never did anything else but that, I would remember her always.  She is GOOD.  So I&#8217;m always happy to see her working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212; My life is complete now that I have seen David Fisher squatting in an alley, experiencing crack-induced diarrhea. &#8212; I think that Brenda&#8217;s mother is a comedic genius.
