Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Damn, Casey.

Is it just me, or is there something just so over-the-top bitchy about Casey's quotes in there as to make them seem kind of suspicious.

You know, even if any/all of that was true, that really wasn't the way to present it. I understand that she might be pissed that the edit made it seem like the bad ideas were all her fault, but that was really shitty.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, Casey, not cool.

ION, this headline cracked me up.

[eta: And none of the commenters to that thread seem to realize that Judges' Table is cut down from an hourlong+ conversation to the 5 minutes we see on TV, and that "reaction shots" are the easiest thing in the world to fake. You can move cutaways anywhere you want.]
