Odo: I was hoping that our relationship was going to be a long and happy one, but I suppose I’m willing to settle for short and exciting.

Perhaps roused by the sound of Fred and their father’s arrival, George stirred.
“How do you feel, Georgie?” whispered Mrs. Weasley.
George’s fingers groped for the side of his head.
“Saintlike,” he murmured.
“What’s wrong with him?” croaked Fred, looking terrified. “Is his mind affected?”
“Saintlike,” repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. “You see . . . I’m holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?”
Mrs. Weasley sobbed harder than ever. Color flooded Fred’s pale face.
“Pathetic,” he told George. “Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?”
“Ah well,” said George, grinning at his tear-soaked mother. “You’ll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, Mum.”

“I know that having a good vocabulary doesn’t guarantee that I’m a good person,” the boy said. “But it does mean I’ve read a great deal. And in my experience, well-read people are less likely to be evil.”

“Why’m I with you?” grunted the Harry near the back door.

“I’m George,” said the twin at whom Moody was pointing. “Can’t you even tell us apart when we’re Harry?”
“Sorry, George —”
“I’m only yanking your wand, I’m Fred really —”
“Enough messing around!” snarled Moody. “The other one — George or Fred or whoever you are — you’re with Remus.”

Agents of SHIELD took a week off and returned with an exciting episode that took a big step forward for some of the big story arcs of the season. The last episode moved some of the key pieces around but this week gave us some big forward momentum along with a healthy dose of revelations, with presumably more to come. We learned some new information about the Guest House, the alien, and TAHITI, not to mention a solution to the alien writing puzzle. Ward got to stretch his wings, setting out on a plan that kept me guessing throughout the whole episode. In all, it was a fast-paced episode that set the ball rolling for the second half of the first half of season two (the second quarter?) going into the winter. So let’s jump into “The Writing on the Wall,” written by Craig Titley and directed by Vincent Misiano.
