No Tivo, so dunno. Regardless, I have to call BS on the show. OK, Olivia is Olivia in both worlds. Walter is Walter, Peter is Peter (or would be, were he not "half-dead"), Martin Luther King Jr. is apparently MLK Jr. there, all the other people are the other people . . . but they never heard of Andrew Jackson? WTF? Does this mean that Col. Jackson was killed down in N'awlins in 1814? And if so, why could not one of those brainiacs mentioned that?

Hell, I don't expect my fantasy fixes to be logical, but I do expect some logical consistency in my illogic. Does that make sense? You know what I mean, regardless.

Well, we do know that there are some significant differences. Maybe Jackson was never president? I wouldn't expect them to have heard of a specific colonel, no matter how distinguished his career. And maybe whoever was prez in Jackson's place led down a road where technology developed at a slightly quicker pace.

What's scary is I know exactly what you mean.

But there is an easy, two word explanation.
It's television.

Yeah, but since I have no life, it's real to me.

Technically that explanation is one word, "it's" is a contraction.

I finally watched last weeks episode.

It was good, but a lot of stuff does not yet add up.

Let's see what tonight brings us.

Technically, you're a dumb$hit.
It's (word #1) television (word #2). Hence, the two word explanation.

I think I've figured it out. At the end of tonight's ep, Denethor will wake up in Minas Tirith and say, "I just had the strangest dream..."

What, we talking an alternate Middle Earth now? Kewl.


Last night tied up a number of loose ends for me, but opened up another whole can of worms for next season. Can I wait? Guess I'll have to.

Tried to make a joke (that no one got) referencing the finale of Newhart and the fact that John Noble played Walter and Denethor.

I figured out the Dunham switch right away. Next season will be interesting.
