Are they really as good as I hear and Jarod obviously thinks?
They're very, very sweet in the kind of way that appeals to children, but they don't really bear any resemblance to actual food. :)
I was warned that this ep was disturbing, but it really was nowhere near as bad as I feared, given all the Holocaust, genocide, and medical experimentation stuff I read before I was 13.
I find fictional stuff that brings up memories of real-world horror much more disturbing than that which stays safely in the land of fictional angst, personally. Despite that (or perhaps partly because of it), I did find this a really, really good episode.
I knew what was going on as soon as I heard Dr Krieg's (Dr War's!) accent.
Yeah, I had a pretty good inkling at that point, myself, although the details still kind of shocked me.
I actually found Sydney's slightly crazed smile as he told Parker he was wearing new underwear a bit more worrying.
Apparently that's what Sydney's like after he's had a really, really good night. :) I think it's kind of

I think even the fictional stuff has happened; there's no limit to the horrible things people will do to other people. I'm not exactly inured to the horror; it's just that I know a lot about the Holocaust and have met a number of people who survived it. It's something I've thought about enough to not be shocked by any more. Appalled and disturbed, yes, but I've thought it through so thoroughly as a child and adult, wondering how I'd have lived through and with it, that Sydney's story didn't shock; it just saddened. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

Ah, so Sydney got laid after the comedy show? Good for him, and well done buying the new and possibly snazzy underpants. I can't imagine him wearing anything with holes or a perished waistband though; he's far too well groomed.
Oh, no, it makes perfect sense. I did kind of have the impression it was a topic you might find particularly disturbing, hence the warning. But, yes, one is far less likely to be shocked by things one has already thought through carefully. And it is more saddening than anything. Well, it is also kind of shocking, I think, to find that out about Sydney.

They didn't explicitly say so, but he certainly seemed to have a really, really good time. Personally, I imagine the answer is yes. Go, him! :)

Well, I think the underpants were a joke. One he'd stolen from the comedy show, apparently. :)
Does she get any more mentions?
Alas, no. At least, not that I've seen so far. I think she may have just sort of faded out of his life after this. Aww. You know, I think there should be fic to fill in the gaps there. :)
Really? I've not met any female Sydneys,I know one in

But I can see him buying new ones for a hot date!
I know one in elementary school. Come to think of it, she also had an identical twin!
Not Jacqui by any chance? ;-)
My sister and I were always taken for non-identical twins, being exactly the same height for most of our school years, and we were befriended by lots of twins, esp on holiday when we could play along. There must be some sort of twin attraction thing there.

There was an actor called Sydne Rome (without the Y); she used to be in European films. A name of two cities!
