I love the way this show uses its soundtrack. The slightly sad key, but in a dreamy melancholy memories way that fits with Marshall's narration. And then suddenly leaning on the piano in a deep discordant tone that is timed with the crow landing...

"Hanging out" in English class means sitting two desks away and watching this crazy kid with his back to me repeatedly not stab his hand...

There is a massive poster of a cross section of a heart on the wall. Of the English classroom. Way to setdress to drive home a point regardless of traditional classroom posters for English classes.

That's got to have been pretty gruesome for a milk truck going that slowly to actually kill a person. And Mars saw it happen. Yet he's still fairly well adjusted afterwards.

Also Marshall, you need to brush up your game. Not only where you looking in the 75% off section of the shop, that's what you went with? This is why Simon is your best friend...

A little flavour of what Simon does to delay having to go home when Marshall is too busy running around with kids his own age :s

That shot with the Grim Reaper walking towards Melanie is just pure creepy.

brushing up on his game suggests that he actually has game. he is completely gameless. he is devoid of all game. he is a vacuum of anti-game energy.

unless his game is "ride my bike in slow circles to impress a girl". oh dear. I may or may be rewatching that scene on my laptop and trying to figure out how gif making works.

maybe thats why simon was hanging out, spinning on his giant wooden wheel? like, next time he sees mars, he'll tactfully suggest a different choice of gifts.

Simon's like "So Mars likes going around in circles on wheels? Wait until he sees this!"

Gah. Gif making. All the gifs in the last ten years that never got made by me because I can't figure that stuff out efficiently...

but what does simon like more - spinning on his massive wheel, or standing on a pillar holding a cigar laughing in a dead weird way and declaring that he doesnt wanna be a banana like in dead letter?

also,YES for the soundtrack. so much of the background music/sound effects in this is amazing
