I am not in danger Sigrid. I AM THE DANGER. A guy selling chrysanthemums gets shot and you think that of me? No, I am the one who buys chrysanthemums!

Does anyone else think it was Chalky's reaction to Daughter singing "That Old Ship of Zion" that saved him in the end?

I like how Willie couldn't keep his eyes off them. Just seemed like a normal reaction from a teenager, perhaps even more so back then when showing cleavage like that wasn't considered proper.

I for one am happy that Nucky cock-blocked Mickey for the simple reason that it spared us a possible sex-scene between him and Sally.

Well Rick, have the pigs stopped squealing?

I do like the idea that Daughter is slowly plotting revenge on Narcisse for killing her mom. It's an awesome thought: you've got Chalky and Narcisse at odds with each othe and in the end these two powerful men both get played in a woman's revenge scheme.

I believe it was gonorrhea. He should have taken his chances against the Huns!

1. Does that count as a subversion of the usual genre rule of have sex-die? Hope that kid got laid before he became zombie chow.

The scene between Chalky and Daughter was supposed to be uncomfortable and it was probably rape. There was nothing sexy about it, or at least nothing in the way it was shot to suggest it was intended to be titillating.

Also consider that Zimmerman shot Cartman, who was approaching his home armed and intending to do him harm—in other words a justifiable shooting but they mock the perceived racial double standard by frying Zimmerman (which got the second biggest laugh out of me after the black guy on the airplane) because he was white.

So in other words, thank God it wasn't an episode that would actually be bold, edgy, and memorable by challenging viewpoints on a case that was overblown by media hype?

Well this episode had some funny moments like the plane crashes and the abrupt execution of Zimmerman, but I really think as far as satire goes it wasn't that sharp or even that inspired.
