The Comic Strip, Part 38 - You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

"Gregory: Diary of a Nutcase" - May 13, 1993

I remember seeing The Silence of the Lambs in the theater back in 1991. The reason for this is because we decided to see the 11:30 pm showing. And then walk home. Through the park. At 2:00 am. In Milwaukee. I think I remember the walk home better than I remember the movie.

I suspect that it the folks who put this episode together are in the same camp. It feels to me like the costume designers and set designers worked overtime to get everything exactly right. The direction is note perfect. The actors, likewise. Everything is falling into place.

Except the script. The script feels like everyone sat down to show their prep work and the writers went "oooh," slapped their heads and ran off to the corner of the room and tried to chug out dialogue ahead of whatever set piece was next on the clipboard.

So on the whole, not a bad episode, just one that loses nothing if you were to watch it with the sound off.
