"According to Memory Alpha, (SPOILER ALERT ABOUT ENTERPRISE) the last episode of Enterprise takes place during this episode. Even knowing how Enterprise ended, that sounds bizarre."

I think Bridget's fingertips have a date with a hot plate or iron in the near future

or just an alternate reality that runs 85 million years behind ours … so there is no "future" in that sense.

Another interesting moment: how Gates insists they use Serena Kaye in the investigation, and then how pissed off she is to learn she may have been tricked and demands her arrest, all after insulting Castle's value to the team.

"as Castle couldn't resist explaining to her, her husband didn't want the
hideous thing, but was just pretending he did so he could use it as a
bargaining chip"

Unless the exhibition itself was meant as the "protest." A fractured Lady Liberty, "The Fist of Capitalism" and that TV sculpture which was probably meant as a statement about media excess, all seem to have a connected theme of oppression. Perhaps the choice of background art was not as random as the review suggests?

Was Wilson even aware that House dosed his patient to stop the transplant? I found it odd he was so resigned about the recipient's death.

laugh it up, fuzzball

As opposed to the usual rantings on display here? It's about two steps removed from becoming the Daily Kos for entertainment.

Blonde Sister, Ricci, Sky Spy, Frenchy,

It seems that they did, which only creates a bigger error since this episode depicts historical events that took place a month before the Berlin episode.

It's good to know this was supposed to be the second episode. I was wondering if they were shown out of order because the previous episode took place during the June 26, 1963, Kennedy Berlin speech, while this episode depicts the final Mercury mission, which took place May 15.

Yeah, I'm sure he writes all of it

Soros  ——-> Tides Foundation ——> Adbusters  ——-> Occupy Wall Street

Sigh.

Yeah, I think I'm just thinking about flubs among the regular cast

Did that episode have a higher quotient of flubs than usual? Beyond Vanessa Bayer misreading every other line, Jay Pharoah missed singing a line of the chorus during his rap … you can hear the backing track sing it even though both guys aren't talking.

Please send me a generous amount of whatever substance you consumed prior to watching this episode in order to believe an utterly unfunny episode, worst so far of the season and probably of the past 3-4 seasons, is worth an A-. Ugh.

I don't think they were set up as jokes per se but set-up for later jokes, ie the conversation with the homeless guy and Keven spray-painting over his wife's face.

Because in the recaps they keep showing that clip where the guy on the phone tells her Bridget is still alive, as if they expected her to be dead. I'm not saying Siobhan is trying to have her killed. I think Siobhan got into trouble and set Bridget up to get killed in her place.
