The Middle Man

[stonegod]

Do folks think they are playing up Dubby's boyfriend to work for some nefarious anti-middleman organization run by Manservant?

Not that they've been foreshadowing that something could go wrong w/ Tyler...

Manservant has a bad person role in the comics AFAIK, so I wouldn't be surprised. Plus, Mark Sheppard gives off the "I'm not a good guy" vibe anyway. Or has since good ole Badger in Firefly.

That's why he seemed so familiar. I just couldn't place him...

Good to see the Brigadier's son has a good job. He should learn from his dad though how to stand up to people though.

So, is this the end of the show? Will it get picked up? Signs do not look good, but I still have hope.

Haven't heard one way or the other. The shortening was a "mutual decision", and there is a M&M mail in campaign (according to the blog), but that's all I've heard.

Did enjoy last night, however. Here's hoping (but not holding my breath. Too many disappointments).

I'm a little confused. Isn't a palindrome something that's spelled the same backward as forward, like "racecar", "1991" or "Never odd or even"? So, how is "a man, a plan, a canal" a palindrome? Put it together and you've got "amanap lanac anal" or "lana canal panama". "Canal panama" isn't a backward spelling of the initial phrase, and you still have an extra "l-a-n-a".

They should have gone with "A man, a pain, a mania, Panama"...

The palindrome - a rather famous one, that the writers probably expected to be self-explanatory - is:

A MAN, A PLAN, A CANAL: PANAMA

Okay, I see. You have to add "Panama" to the end to make it work. Considering they were only working with the first three when they solved it, I thought that was all there was to the puzzle. It wasn't until I read this that I realized that they found the picture of the hat right before Dubby got sucked into the mirror world.
