And no technology from the last 25yrs (at least!). References to 'homework' & 'Ghostwood' like her 'outside world' perspective ended 25 yrs ago.
A coma seems likely but then again maybe its will never be answered clearly or be something far beyond what any of us regular folk could envision!

Upvoted for 'The Violence Channel' - perfect!

Yeh that's how i took it too, even though she knew she was likely a goner it was throwing Ferdinand a last little 'fuck you, maybe i won't'. Especially as it was a response to his comment about the lethality of hitting her left ventricle.

Seen Kalifornia?

I know, that line is a gut punch, his fear is palpable.

Also with guest stars becoming companions- Karen Gillam as a Syballine Sister (making Fires of Pompeii a twofer in regards to DW charactor recycling) and Freema Agyeman previously appearing briefly as a Torchwood Canary Wharf employee who sneaks off to canoodle with her lover but instead becomes a victim of a Cyberman.

Stemroach!
Mind you Bradley's turn at Solomon was more Stemroach-y than his few moments as the 1st Doctor.

Being more familiar with Six Feet Under than Twin Peaks my strongest association with that actor is Gilardi too! I recently rewatched the original Twin Peaks since seeing it as a confused 13yr old so when Mike turned up i was "hey its a young fluffy haired Gilardi!"

Also when Kim was 'banished to the corn field' by Howard for losing the Kettleman account - she was very patient with them & got an excellent deal yet when they tantrumed & flounced Howard takes it out on Kim.
It does give the impression that in that world folks with power take their frustrations out by using…

I agree Shan. The way Chuck used & discarded poor sweet Ernesto! Sure he warned him of the consequences but it was 100% set up of an innocent, uninvolved party.

Yeh, getting the 'lie detector' eyeballing from Tuco. Kinda cute how (if i recall correctly) in both these appearances he has on his work shirt from his father's furniture store. Tampico?(sp?)
Sort of showing he still had a foot in the two worlds back then; the 9 to 5 at the family store & low level dealing for the…

Pretty sure it was Crazy 8 who was informant. When Emilio got busted & Jesse got away that was on Crazy 8's info.

I agree completely with your entire comment.
Re-write history, do what you need to to create a great story but instead we receive a series of mere winking references and one dimensional bitchy asides.
That Gram Parsons scene was on the nose, so very unsubtle.
And thanks, Vinyl, for reminding us that Cass Elliot was a…

If I recall correctly Richard and Mimi (Joan Baez's sister) Farina were in particular targeted by "Positively 4th Street"

Oh dear I'm fan wanking…
I even went to double check about the paying for law school detail cause I was certain Kim had said that but someone above said it wasn't likely.
The scene where Jimmy shows her the office he wants to rent, suggests partnering up and Kim refuses & states "I owe them.. they put me through law…

I came to OZ fairly late, watched it only about a year ago and probably annoyed the hell out of my partner with my "Hey! its such and such from that show!" every few minutes.
Hector! Laguerta! Dennis Duffy!

Absolutely.
And even without such high stakes it really isn't an uncommon statement for parents of teenagers to say!

Admittedly I know nothing about working in law firms or even white collar jobs for that matter so I don't know how realistic this sounds but given that HHM paid for Kim's law school could it be she is contracted to work there for x-amount of years? Or else repay the tuition they fronted? Loyalty and gratitude are…

"Still, this means something happened to/with that wife. I wonder if that's the root of Chuck's condition."
She gets electrocuted?

In regards to Tuco and Crazy-8, I thought it was mentioned or at least heavily implied on BB they knew each other? That Tuco was the 'next level' above Crazy-8 in the meth dealing/distributing hierarchy and with Emilio and Crazy-8 dead they would need a new 'in' with Tuco. Thus secure a higher level buyer so Jesse…
