    How can you not love in this scene that Toby knows the exact number of words of the Gettysburg address and the ten commandments off the top of his head and Donna is not even surprised!

      @@jackolantern22In the very first episode, Toby is not even sure of the order of the commandments, so maybe he studied up on them. Anyway, the answer would vary depending on which version & translation of the Bible you were using.

      It's particularly interesting because the lengths of those two documents are debatable. There are five drafts of the Gettysburg Address ranging from 239 to 273 words. There are also two versions of the Ten Commandments in Exodus and Deuteronomy with different lengths.

    I can't believe the obvious sexual tension while being completely oblivious to it between Donna and Josh actually came to fruition by the end of the series. That's some hardcore arcing right there. Or cheap fanservice, depends who you ask. I liked it.
