And you thought you had problems with your neighbors. Imagine being in a fraternity like Kappa Tau, where your life is all about partying, and lo and behold a professor moves in next door. Yowza! What to do, right? If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have sent Rusty over there. Then again, I also wouldn’t have thought to borg him, which apparently has something to do with assimilating someone into your own culture a la one of the Star Trek series. Which just goes to show you: don’t always be so quick to just set your neighbor’s house on fire. There are other ways to go about reconciliation.
As much as I’ve been pushing for some clarity to the fate of the seniors on Greek, I think we’re seeing the result of the writers being boxed into a corner with a very short timeline to finalize things, which isn’t really great for us viewers. Everything seems to be playing on a high speed, and the result might be ugly, just getting things done to get them done. If things don’t end up making sense, it won’t have been worth it in the first place. I hope the writers are keeping that in mind.
I was totally not clear on the path that Cappie decided on last night after watching Professor Hilgendorf try and recapture his youth. It sounded as if he realized that you could never go back again, yet he also thought he didn’t have to let go … I’m not really sure where we left Cappie. But it definitely sounds like he has another three years of college ahead of him, particularly if he hasn’t taken enough credits in one field of study to be on his way to a determinable major. Which means he and Casey are effectively taken care of (CRU Law for her).
I found myself agreeing last night with a comment made by Jules last week: Beaver and Rebecca are a good match. When Beaver’s not playing the complete idiot his character’s meant to be, he’s just the kind of person who could actually make me enjoy Rebecca. When he’s dumb she treats him that way, but when he’s just being simple and playful, she actually smiles and laughs. I think they really would be great together.
Although I’m not sure the show is looking to move off of Rebecca and Evan just yet, for some unknown reason. Speaking of, I can’t say that Evan’s theft of the $500 makes any sense whatsoever. I get that he felt he needed the money, but everything we know about him screams that he’d never do that to himself, his house, his presidency, or for the purpose of buying a necklace. I’m sure this is all going somewhere specific, but nothing about that entire situation said Evan. It’s too farfetched.
I’m growing tired of Casey and Ashleigh, although I think they’re an example of the show rushing things to a conclusion. They simply wouldn’t have drifted so far apart, and Ashleigh never would have felt brushed aside by someone like Katherine, as Casey incorrectly suspected. However, their relationship was used as the vehicle to introduce a very true concept to the end of senior year: namely, that “some people should be around your entire life; others should just make an appearance.” It’s something that creepy Washington guy said, but it’s applicable nonetheless. The end of the season is going to be all about Casey and everyone else deciding who’s who for them.
That much is true to life.

“Well, it’s short for The Beaver.” – Beaver

The Borg (capitalized, and including the definite article) are the assimilating race. Each member is also called a Borg. To Borg-ify is the verb.

Thanks! I had no idea what it meant save for a quick Internet search.
The show, however, used Borg (capital or otherwise) in the same way that I did (“We can Borg him,” “Borging commenced”), so I was just going with the flow. But thanks for the clarity. :)
You’re welcome. I still don’t watch the show, so was unaware of the usage. It’s perfectly acceptable for a non-Star Trek nerd on the show to get the terminology slightly wrong, so that makes sense.
