'Cause the future ain't looking so good for "AD."

F bracelet. They had to explicitly spell it out to me. And I still almost didn't get it. Well, I knew she was special going in, and I totally didn’t understand the MR. F bracelet.

Sadly, if it hadn't been literally spelled out to me, I wouldn't have gotten the joke. I’m immune to subtlety (I kept asking Jess “what’s with the Daniel Boone hat?”).

But I kind of didn't know how to react to the agents flat-out saying she was retarded. It was either brilliant of the writers to just have them spit out, "She's an MRF--a mentally retarded female," so that those who got the joke a while ago can just laugh at the silly bluntness of the reveal. Or it was completely unnessary to state it so bluntly, and it killed an otherwise subtley-building joke.

Last night's revelation does explain the tweety-bird backpack, though. I’m a little concerned about further developments with Rita’s character.
