Note: I'm not sure where Tuesday's comments end and Wednesday's comments start, so just consider the first few paragraphs as spoiler space and use your own judgment :-)

KUDOS to MEK for keeping a straight face when, regarding Dixie, he told Derek: "She's **VERY** intelligent!"

I see Gillian has changed her clothes. Is she the only one in the waiting area allowed to do that? In what way are these people "helping" her? What from I've seen so far, they're simply irritating her and everyone else with their complete and utter lack of explanation about ANYTHING. Now that she's got her back to the camera, I can see that she's wearing a bra -- THAT can't be anywhere NEAR heaven!

I'm a couple of days behind in watching and posting, so I'm sure this has been mentioned by now, but just in case you missed it, Mia referred to Ryan as "Paulie Walnuts" -- PW is a dapper hit-man on The Sopranos -- he's sort of the Cliff Claven (Cheers) of the gang - - he thinks he knows everything, but never quite gets it right (except the hits -- he's an EXPERT at that).

Is it my imagination, or is Mia actually wearing even more eye make- up than Myrtle?

A worried Tad asks Mateo: "How's Dixie look?" Mateo: "Are you KIDDING? She looks HOT! I got a hard-on just looking at her, man. Hayley's been a little ... well, let's just say Dixie is HOT!" Okay he didn't say that, but you KNOW he was thinking it ;-)

How long before Gillian finally accepts that she can't go back and instead arranges an "accident" so Ryan can come to HER instead? A beachball can be lethal in the right hands :-) Perhaps she can get Ray Gardner to assist in that area. Then again, she managed to put the idea of onion rings into Opal's head -- I can just see her standing next to Ryan on the roof of some high rise saying: "Jump, jump, jump!"

Adam to Ryan: "You used Liza's private office without her permission?" Doesn't EVERYONE?

Adam to Liza: "I want what we HAD -- back when we were newlyweds!" Those two are ALWAYS newlyweds. Marry, break up, marry, break up, rinse and repeat. Bleah!

Adam to Liza: "Do you know how much money I wasted -- inVESTed in that guy's incredible dream?" And who is the stupid one HERE?

How come there's no smoke damage in Mateo's storeroom. Did he forget that Gabriel managed to break in with a little knife? He must have, because he insisted to Officer Sweeney that he keeps it locked (and unalarmed).

Ryan to Liza: "I know I used to hate it when Gillian was always right, but I'd -- I'd come around." At what point was Gillian ever right? When she had sex with two men in the same night? When she married one man knowing she loved another? How about when she insisted on doing the TV show behind Ryan's back, working with Ilene Pringle [REALLY bad move THERE]? Oh wait, he must be talking about when she didn't tell Jake that Colby was NOT his biological daughter, then stayed by his side in a court battle to win custody of her? How about stowing away on an airplane to Chechnya? And last but not least, what about that dress she wore to the Crystal Ball -- you know, the one with the cow-catcher in the front? I rest my case.

Hmmm, pretty obvious that the judge and Adam were NOT in the same room together when their initial scene was shot. When we saw Adam's face, we only saw the back of the judge's head (i.e., a stand-in -- or sit-in, as the case may be). When we saw the judge's face, it was a semi-close-up. I only mention this because they BOTH sounded stilted, like their dialogue wasn't timed correctly which caught my attention.
