Okay Rawalpindi Sydney and Veerle are being attacked by windup bunnies and they are in a paper boat in what must be the Arabian Sea and the real mystery here is how long I can keep up this conceit and as everyone at Coudal HQ knows the answer is waaaaay longer than anyone would want me to so I'm going to exercise some restraint now.
This volley has taken on a Heroes twist. I'm watching the first season of that show on Netflix right now and if this match contains any spoilers I'm going to go crazy Kelly Tilghman on all y'all.
The gunsmoke has this awesome Scooby-Doo vibe to it. I was watching one of the original Scooby episodes with my son the other day and Shaggy and Scooby were running from a monster and they got to a dead end so they pained a black rectangle and then they painted a door over the black rectangle and then they opened the door and walked right through it. I was like, those animators keep a fairly strict adherence of alternate Scooby world physics to make them go through that extra step, especially with some kind of goo monster chasing them. Whole new respect on this end.
