[QUOTE=SmackFu] Speaking of which, that plane was HUGE. Did they reuse the Air Force One set? [/QUOTE] Looked to me like it was only HUGE on the inside. ---

They might hang on to him long enough so that Nevada can spend the money and manpower to come pick him up, but that’s all they’re gonna do. ---

I understand that Nevada may want him back for the bench warrant. I even understand that California may well want to hand him over. BUT THE SAME DAY HE WAS ARRESTED IN L.A. ??? In extradition, the state that wants him has to come git him, right??? On Nevada Day? When all state employees (save for skeleton crews to keep the lights on, fires put out, and general public safety) have the day off?? _At best_, the extradition would’ve taken a few days. But can’t the prisoner fight it?? Get a hearing?? I want to like this show. I really do. But they arfe making it hard. And the confrontation with righteuosly indignant gay men? Or were they NOT righteuosly indignant and just trying to provoke someone to hit them. I mean, I could buy it they stomped on the CD, said they thought she was scum and walked away…but they were asking to get punched. Just didn’t ring true. ---

Holy crap. The lead indignant gay guy is, amazingly, a Sorkin repeat player. I just saw him in the West Wing episode “20 Hours in L.A.” talking about flagburning. Amazing. ---

I like the show on a whole, but I dislike the repetitive gags. But how many times do we need to hear “It was my joint” or “She’s a viola player. \ Viola.” before it becomes funny? “Viola.” “Viola, ladies and gentlemen… Viola.” “Viola.” ---
