Just watched the Christmas Special tonight with the missus.
Spoiler for spoiler:Yowza. It seems that all those sappy happy endings that I was complaining about were a big setup for the gut punch at the end of the season. Bravo."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

I think Edith is pretty.Originally posted by UtahDan View PostIt is interesting to contrast her with Mary. The message of the show as between those two so far seems to be that being petty, selfish and cruel only really hurts you in life if you are not pretty. So far anyway.
I find it a little too convenient that Matthew Crowley recovered from his spinal injury (hooray) and suddenly came into an enormous sum of money (just in the nick of time) and his fiancee forgave him and managed to write a note about it before she croaked (phew, no need to feel guilty). C'mon writers. Really?!
Otherwise, I love the show.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

In England the series is broadcast in September/October and then they do a 1.5 hr Christmas Special that is the real season finale.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostSo ldc and I just blazed through season 1 and 2 in the last couple weeks.

Is it not on the DVDs? We wrapped up season 2 last night, I thought, with episode 7 and it was the final one on the final disc.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostIn England the series is broadcast in September/October and then they do a 1.5 hr Christmas Special that is the real season finale.

We had the same problem. You have to dig a little into the final CD (the one with season 2 on it). On the scene selection menu, find the scenes for episode 7. Then go to the bottom of that screen and click "next." Presto! You have the very final Season 2 episode. I don't know why it's buried that way on the DVD, but that's how we figured it out.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostIs it not on the DVDs?
