Recall317: WTF?

TBH: Get up! We're tired of waiting for Wandering Moron to get back! He's always going somewhere and we want the hellish nightmare to END!

HTWD: Knowing you have more Seer to watch is worse than enduring it! Besides, you proved with your Twit post that you can ably fill his shoes.

R317: Considering you just called him a moron, that is faint praise indeed.

TBH: We're two embittered misanthropes. Faint is as good as the praise gets with us. Get up!

R317: It's 3am!!!!

TBH: Since you're up already, might as well riff!!!

R317: Who kicked me?

KICKASSA2002: hurryupandgetdressedbeforeIhavetokickagain!

The Seer - Part VIII

REMBRANDT: For what it's worth Mrs. Mallory is actually Quinn's stepmom.

R317: It's worth one McRibb sandwich.

HTWD: Eeeeew! I wouldn't eat THAT with your mouth!

R317: My point!

REMBRANDT: She was the one who raised him. But Mrs. Mallory is also Maggie's mother-in-law.

TBH: Oh, so we're counting coke dreams now? In that case, Winona Ryder is my wife. So is Catwoman! :-P

DIANA: From that bubble universe where she married Quinn and had a son?

HTWD: Um, genius, what ELSE could he possibly mean???? Why was this question necessary?

MSR: <from hallway> : Cough! (To inform the audience.) Cough!

REMBRANDT: Yeah. Maggie's mother died when she was young.

TBH: <mimicking Peckinballs> : Now remember, don't start developing the characters until the last episode of the series.

REMBRANDT: I'm guessing that in that universe she developed a strong bond with her mother-in-law.

R317: Maggie has barely enough brainpower to remember to comb her hair in the morning and you're trying to tell us that she remembers an entire lifetime that occurred in your bogus soap bubble universe?

MALLORY: But that wasn't this Mrs. Mallory.

TBH: Duh. Can't get anything past this doorknob's sharp mind, can you?

REMBRANDT: I know.

HTWD: Oooo! That gives me goosebumps! I love it when people smack Mallory down with those two words in that snippy tone.

REMBRANDT: But Maggie has no family any more. It's been like an empty hole in her life.

R317: Her only empty hole, you can rest assured of that.

<Recall317 leans forwards and taps the drums and cymbals with one stick.> Sometimes the riffs are just too easy.

REMBRANDT: If this woman can fill that hole, I'm for it.

TBH: I don't think Maggie wants a woman to fill that hole.

As Mallory considers...

HTWD: ... civilizations rise and fall.

Maggie quietly enters the room. She has changed into her street clothes by now.

TBH: <mimicking Remmy> : How can you think of making money at a time like this! Change back into your regular clothes!

MAGGIE: She's asleep.

R317: It was self defense.

MAGGIE: How much time?

TBH: That depends. If you tell us more of your life story it will seem like five times as long as it actually is.

DIANA (checks timer) : About thirty minutes.

HTWD: Damn! That's enough time for her to get weepy and tell us more about her monkey's uncle.

REMBRANDT (to Maggie) : You all right?

R317: I was wondering the same thing. She hasn't been bitchy in FOREVER.

MAGGIE: Yeah, just ready to move on.

R317: AHHHHHH. That's the Maggie I know and loathe. 'I put the bitch to sleep with a sob story, now let's get the >:-# out of here!'

MAGGIE: If things work out with the next slide we can come back for her.

TBH: This kind of thinking is why Wade was a 'Magg Boy Toy for a year before switching to a career as a 2000 Flushes Model.

REMBRANDT: Sounds like a plan.

TBH: Way to rubber stamp that rationalizing, Remmy!

<Diana looks out the window.>

HTWD: Ironically, that's what I found myself doing through the airings of most of Season Five.

DIANA: Remmy, those 'goons in the car' as you call them aren't in the car anymore.

R317: Don't panic. They just couldn't take the street singing anymore.

MALLORY: They could be on their way up.

TBH: One more Mr. Obvious statement from Mallory and he wins a "Dick and Jane" book.

REMBRANDT: Okay, check out time, people. Let's try to slip out the back.

HTWD: No one would ever think we'd try going out the back door! Pure Genius!

Maggie crosses to the bedroom door and looks in. She takes one long, possibly last look at Mrs. Mallory then moves on.

R317: HA HA HA HA HA!!! The scriptwriter actually thought Kari could convey "She takes one long, possibly last look at Mrs. Mallory" !!! HA HA HA HA!!! I thought that look meant "I wonder if I have enough red thongs?"

Mallory waits a beat longer for one last look.

TBH: What's with all these beats? Is the scriptwriter a frustrated musician? "Appearing tonight only! The 'Suck Tones' !!!!"

Rembrandt and Diana are first out the door. The others follow.

HTWD: I kinda already knew the other two were trailing, since you just tediously described Maggie and Mallory's last long looks!

As the Sliders make their way along the alley.

R317: They didn't have enough alley scenes during Sliders' run.

MALLORY: So far so good.

TBH: And moving at warp speed from obvious statements to cliches...

DIANA: That was too easy. Maybe we were wrong about these people.

HTWD: "That was too easy" could apply to ANY of your hair raising escapes this season! Don't start pointing it out NOW.

MAGGIE: Or someone was asleep on their watch.

R317: WE GET IT! Christ Almighty, must you belabor the foreshadowing that something bad is going to happen?

REMBRANDT: Up ahead. That should be good.

TBH: That empty stretch of alley is much better than this empty stretch of alley!

And they move out of frame. In the b.g. two heads pop out from the shadows.

HTWD: If you're going the cartoon route, why didn't you just have two sets of white eyes suddenly appear in the shadows?

It's the two Attendants that were watching them earlier.

R317: 'Cuz the two burly Attendants are ninjas who can do things like hide in shadows in broad daylight.

31 ANOTHER PART OF THE ALLEY 31
As they prepare to slide.

TBH: "Prepare to Slide" ? Are stretching exercises or chants necessary before you Slide?
