jackDo spoiler cuts fail for people reading feeds/lj2news? Do you have a preference for what to write instead?
I was glad I caught it yesterday, I didn't see it last week, so had to make the bbc1 showing or miss an episode.
Oh, I say. It all joins up, doesn't it? And I didn't know how many episodes there were, I thought that might be *it*, but it goes on. And now it feels like it's reached the tipping point, everyone's joined up and knows what they're doing.
The realisation of the cheerleader-on-the-steps painting was dramatic.
The backstory was good -- it filled in lots of things that I hadn't even wondered about, but cemented the whole well. Great to see about Syler!
Does "running two seconds slow" have an accepted meaning? Two seconds per day? Two seconds per year? I would have thought it meant *is* two seconds slow, as in, two seconds before real time, but that just means it's set wrong, and that's not a mechanical defect, so you can't hear it. Maybe watchmakers would know, but guys in hornrimmed glasses? He seemed to know what he meant.
Am I just ignorant of common usage, or does it just not make sense? If not, it's completely easy to ignore, so I can see how you'd write that, but it seems ironic to have a sentence that simple knowledge of common parlance can tell you is meaningless.
