Happy Trails! Episode 106: Join Us for Bleeding Cool's Happy! Live-Blog!
Thanks for joining us after a two week break for our fifth edition of Happy Trails!, Bleeding Cool's live-blog of Syfy's Happy! and tonight's sixth episode, 'The Scrap Yard of Childish Things"
Less of a "formal review" and more of a "revap"-type (review/recap) thing, we're covering the nitty and the gritty of the episode, along with some of my thoughts on what worked and what should've be left untouched by human hands. If you're not familiar with the comic book series, then you should definitely keep that in mind as you keep reading or watching. If you know what's coming, then spoilers probably aren't going to be a big deal for you; but there may be some discussion (translation: rants) of either subtle changes or drastic differences that you might want to avoid until you see them for yourself.
HAPPY! is based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson's graphic novel of the same name. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

Here's a look back at a scene from last week's episode, featuring corn-on-the-cob-loving Smoothie's (Patrick Fischler) "unique" take on new student orientation:
The Weekly Static was lucky enough to grab a few minutes with Fischler, Happy!'s resident sociopath, mob enforcer and man who enjoys interrogating people a little too much: Smoothie…
