On another topic, the team seriously needs to recruit one or more new agents. Hopefully next season?
We probably get Tan, but yes, I keep expecting casting announcements (or even for the casting sides to surface). |

Any connection between American art and American nature is purely coincidental, but this is only because the nation as a whole has no contact with reality.

I would put having a The Scrappy character in the same category as the maudlin clip show: that is, things I cannot picture our PTB doing. Breaking our hearts and messing with out heads, yes. Doing stupid annoying things, not so much.

I am expecting an account to surface of some aspiring actor's drunken rant (to a seemingly sympathetic tabloid writer) after he auditioned for a role on Shadow Unit and was turned down.
Maybe I should write it... (must meditate and purge myself of Charlie Sheen jokes.)

I wonder if it could be Return of the Mystery Beta? |

Story lead-in, Rita MacIntyre:
"After the shocking Shadow Unit season finale, the anomalous crime fan world has been buzzing about potential new team members. While that sexy scoundrel Matthew Yang King has been rumored to be joining the WTF for months now, and a few die hard fans continue to hold hope that Richard Patrick O'Neal will be taking a larger role, the network has so far kept the lid on the real story. But just last night - or I should say, early this morning - I had an exclusive interview with aspiring actor Xiph Brown about his secret audition to join the cast of the ACTF. News so hot no one else will touch it!"
(hopefully this won't be too long of a commercial break)

I think Rita's a freelance video blogger, and she gets paid based on how many people sit through the commercial to hear the full story. ...and she doesn't like Xiph either. But I'm getting ahread of myself. |

I was getting ready to write a post about how Daphne's life support is being disconnected on the solstice, and wondering what the significance of that would be1. After all, as we learned in "Fair", June 14 was the day when Chaz told Tricia "She's not in there, T." And T decided she was going to wait a week "So we can all say good-bye. And in case miracles happen."
So of course, today being seven days after June 14, this'll be the day that she dies. Assuming, of course, that Tricia did in fact wait a week, and that Sol was being a reliable narrator.2
Except ... the scene where Chaz brought an iPad into Daphne's room to let Hafidha say goodbye was "on the sixth night" of the vigil. The next scene after that opened with Sol saying "A week passed".
So ... was Daphne's life support disconnected today? Or will it be disconnected on June 27 - one week after six nights after June 14?
Or is something else going to happen?
1 Because of course our PTB wouldn't pick that day out of a hat.
2 Not necessarily a good assumption, mind you.

I'm not sure about grand conspiracies or puppetmasters, but if the Anomaly is, on any level, a creature with a survival instinct, then the first order of business is to destroy Chaz. The direct assault didn't work, so the corruption and destruction of his family looks like a good strategy. I'm rooting for the Coyote, but I hope he doesn't get real close with anyone else for now.
I think that if you look at what the Anomaly likes, and what Chaz can do, you might revise that statement 180 degrees. Except for the getting close bit. That is still not all that safe, and why I fear for the cat. |

I'm pretty sure that "A week passed" refers to the week in Trish's statement, ""I'm--I need to give it a week. I'm waiting a week." The intervening account by Sol is a chronicle of what happened during that week, and him saying "A week passed" is capping off the vigil, not saying a week passed between the last thing in his chronicle of the vigil and what he speaks of next. So yeah. It was today -- well, technically yesterday, but I haven't gone to bed yet, so it's still today for me. I just got home from NYC, and while the plane was taking off, I was thinking about the team and about my fellow Deltas. Too ECR to describe, but I was thinking of you guys. |
