So eight, count them eight episodes into this new season and we finally get to know what happen to Peter and Nathan. I really liked this episode but I will never understand why they didn't start the season with this one. Sure they would have had to change a few things, but not that much. I think you could have had a much better foundation to build off of with this one. Say what you want about Lost, but it has always paid off it's season finales.
Deep down, I'm rooting for this show to do well. I will keep watching it because it's way better than Bionic Woman. That show may be the worst written show on television. I'm a glutton for punishment. . .

Was Radiohead's stunt worth it?
According to the AP -
"Radiohead let its fans decide how much to pay for a digital copy of the band's latest release, "In Rainbows," and more than half of those who downloaded the album chose to pay nothing, according to a study by a consumer research firm.
Some 62 percent of the people who downloaded "In Rainbows" in a four-week period last month opted not to pay the British alt-rockers a cent. But the remaining 38 percent voluntarily paid an average of $6, according to the study by comScore Inc."
I'm part of that 62%. I didn't want to plunk down another 10 bucks for a record I wasn't going to listen to. I accept that Radiohead is innovative, but I felt like it was at the expense of good music. For me, In Rainbows took a step to bring me back into their fold. To me, they realized their fans were disappointed, made some good music, and gave it to their audience as a peace offering. Well, apology accepted.
As a side note, it was interesting to me when I told my friends I paid nothing for it. Their reaction was surprised/slightly disappointed. I'm not sure why, Radiohead did give me a choice to pay what I wanted for it. How often does one have the opportunity to get a CD for free and not consider it stealing? I would say most of my friends don't have a strong objection to downloading music before they (maybe) pay for it, and yet most of them paid for In Rainbows when they could have got it for free.

A Sadie Hawkins Dance is a school dance in which the girls ask out the boys...
In the United States, the Sadie Hawkins dance (also known as a snow ball, Morp, snowball, vice-versa, turnabout, TWIRP, or a Tolo)[citation needed] is a school dance, usually occurring in high schools, in which female students invite male students. This is in opposition of normal school dance traditions, such as prom, where male students invite female students. Traditionally, the Sadie Hawkins dance occurs during the autumn in November, or in some places January or February. The Sadie Hawkins dance is one of three dances that many high schools hold, the other two dances being prom and homecoming. Some schools simply hold regular dances in which certain songs are "snowball" or "Sadie Hawkins" songs in which girls choose whom to dance with.
The Sadie Hawkins dance is named after the Li'l Abner comic strip character Sadie Hawkins. November 15 was Sadie Hawkins day, when the unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and marry the ones they caught. In America this caught on quickly and evolved into a dance where the women got to invite a man of their choice.
Usually, female and male partners choose to wear the same or extremely similar clothes in order to match. At a Sadie Hawkins dance, couples are easily distinguishable because of their matching clothes.

You'd think Christians had enough problems
Christians who actually follow Jesus (not those who believe in Bush, War on terror, then maybe Jesus) work so hard to live a life of example. We try to advise people on where to go when they are emotionally hurt, we try to love the sinner and not the sin, and we try to avoid judging other. Then I see something like this:
And I feel like "why do I even get up in the morning?" I don't know how anyone outside of christianity takes us serious. I weep for what Ryan has to put up with. I need a drink . . .
