Just echoing everyone else… but Charlie Day was a force of nature in this episode.

Episodes like this one fully confirm I'm not emotionally ready for this show to end.

I'm really going to miss this show when it's gone. The "Game of Joans" book title nearly made me lose it.

That was another favorite because I loved hearing Mr. Burns say the word "boobs".

I have no shame in admitting this was one of the first albums I bought as a child. Along with "Do the Bartman", Homer singing "Born Under a Bad Sign" was a particular favorite of mine.

I have no apologies saying I, as a child, looked forward to this Christmas special more than any other.

I do wonder how much of the 1984 commercial we'll get in the next episode. It obviously happens around Christmas time (There were Christmas trees in the preview), and the commercial didn't hit until later into January.

That would be a good theme of season 2: The implementation of the GUI + the merging of the hardware/software conflict that has been sprinkled throughout the series.

I do wish we'd get more of the Programmers vs. the Hardware/Engineers. There is a definite culture clash of old/current vs. new that could work quite well.

I think it's pretty safe to say Bosworth realizes Cameron is by far the smartest of the bunch.

As much as I liked the Cameron/Bosworth scene, I can't help but think it's going to be played up as part of Cameron's "father issues". The fact Bosworth might be estranged from his family is a touch I didn't think about initially. Regardless, Bosworth, even after probably orchestrating police brutality, has jumped…

I did love the fact that Pierce's boat for Troy was named "Childish Tycoon".

One of my all time favorite episodes and not just because it includes a reference to "Gleaming the Cube".

Agreed.  I'm glad the show is fully committed to showing that.

No love for the great sight gag of "Achilles Meal"?

Edgar Winter wig?  Get your facts right because Ashley is a straight parody of Ric Flair from the 1980's.

I can see Richard being "with" Gillian and Jimmy's son in a twisted take on the family he always wanted… all while plotting revenge.

1923 is when Capone really went back to Chicago.  1924 is when Capone's mayoral candidate won a very rigged election in Cicero.  It's 1924 and 1925 when Capone really makes Cicero his headquarters.  With season 3 being in 1923, we'll see Capone putting those pieces together.  Torrio didn't turn things over until 1925.
