Jimbo keeps them from thinking about suicide during those days when the sun never shines. Indeed, never rises.

Why this is, I don't really know.

"Norwegians love Jimmy Wales"...Huh?.
Notice that was sent on NRK2 (Audience share 3,9% ..out of about 4,5 mil. people. Yeah. Big. Not.).


3-4 years ago any interview with JW in Norway would have been sent on NRK1 (Audience share 40%)

Ahem. Most of Norway is below the Polar Circle (or, as we call it: "the Moral Circle"....for reasons which would interest Horsey evilgrin.gif )

And 30 seconds later, the other guy starts lying about "Flagged Revisions," among other things. My guess is the finger-to-the-nose was a signal to start really laying it on.

Looks to Jimbo for approval as he does so and doesn't get the confirmation he was expecting. It's a good job I just watched the season finale of Lie to Me - it's all so obvious now. I presume the Norwegian Internet expert has fallen for the Wikipedia bluff and is looking nervously at Jimbo who is doing "Oops! It's all lies, need to be careful what I say" body language.

Oh, I stopped watching Lie to Me midway last season; it was just getting too boring. How was the season finale?

Well, the FBI actor's contract is clearly up for negotiation, but all the main actors have re-signed for the next series it seems. Aside from that, usual standard, the usual plot twist (hinted at so strongly at the begining that it probably is not a twist, bit bloodthirsty, good body count, Kal's attractive co-director fussed around decoratively without a decent part, the sub-plots of the young assistants going nowhere, the father-daughter relationship storyline too obviously bolted on. So no worse than 24, and more educational than a Jimbo video.

Just saw it on Hulu. Your summary is quite fair. The episode wasn't that bad, but it certainly could have been a lot better. Not sure if I'll continue to watch Lie to Me, with White Collar, Burn Notice, and Doctor Who, I might be set for the next season.

Okay. For what, two hours? You guys still kill yourselves a lot in the Winter. I hope WP helps, but I doubt it.
