This is probably just incidental, but I wonder if the choice of "Lambert" as a pseudonym — much as how "Heisenberg" was a real-life reference — might refer to Frank L. Lambert, a chemist famous for changing the typical definition of entropy from "chaos" and "disorder" to something more manageable.

To be fair, Collins did write in a bunch of lazy "Katniss blacks out and wakes up in the hospital" act breaks, any of which would provide a convenient split point.

The second book has a rather thrilling final act — better than the similar action in the first book — but I can't say the same for the third. It's mostly (underwhelming) politics and Katniss' adolescent angst.

Joan's outburst at the receptionist was indeed hilarious — but then, she also destroyed the Mohawk model airplane, presumably at the exact same time Mohawk ended its business with SCDP.

I would think Colton would have strengthened Kim's game even more. He manipulated people through intimidation and bullying; Kim could have easily made more people feel "protected" by her.

lol, Jesus Island. Indeed.

I was kinda worried for Kim there for a bit, especially when Mike called her out on forgetting about "blame." I'm sure she could have made a spectacular speech at the final Tribal to totally lay out her master plan and prove that she played a brilliant strategic game — but instead, the speech reflected her actual…

It definitely was odd that (IIRC) the music suddenly shifted to some sweeping, soft melody when — of all people — Jonas went up.

I did enjoy Christina's "Why do you hate people?" remark to Chelsea, although I'm not quite sure I understood where it was coming from. Is she dumb enough to be bitter for no reason?

Then again, Kim might have a decent shot against Chelsea and Christina. Chelsea would have a tough time justifying her game against Kim's, considering she's been such a sycophant.
