I think the ring finger's significance relates to that interaction between Cole and DoppelCoop when DoppelCoop was being held and an awkward sentence he recited caused Cole to understand that the ring finger - the spiritual finger - was important. Also, maybe something having to do with the ring that keeps appearing…

yes - exploring this in future seasons adds so many potentially awesome layers to the narrative.

Yeah, that dressing scene really stuck out. The maroon suit and the way the camera paused on the canine (wolf? dog?) at the top of the cane. I wondered whether it had any other meaning… Did it reference another X-men character? or was it just more exposition on the Clark's character?

Yes! that's been nagging me since the first episode.

…By the way, I think that William and Logan line up with the Richard Benjamin/James Brolin characters in the original movie. In the original, Brolin's character is killed.

Interesting theory about this being flashback… What I found odd was that William's entry into the park (the shot of the ride in the train looking out the window, the interaction with the prostitute, and the interaction with Dolores dropping the can) matches James Marsden's storyline. I began wondering if Marsden had…

I don't know what she said about LS; however, it's not there now, but I swear last week her Wikipedia page listed "Game of Thrones, 2011-2013/2016" under Filmography. When I saw that I was thinking that she could also show up this season in a Bran flashback. But since the listing is missing, I'm now more inclined to…

That's a good point - and at one point in the episode, Holmes does say something about his landing being the most important thing. The end of the hallucination had Holmes diving off the cliff of the waterfall. Maybe the writers were aware that this episode was going to leave some people unhappy.

I'm hesitant to post since I'm not as familiar as others with Doyle's
Holmes, or analysis of this series. But, as I watched this episode, I
couldn't help but think that some of these long, unexplainable plot
points were hinting at the direction the series would take in the
future. I don't think that the writers have…

Yes - I bet you're right. The fact that the Countess labels their vampirism as a 'virus' connects it with the measles virus.

Agree - I thought the new credits were very expository. For me it was as if the creators expected that the audience would ask "what the heck did I just watch?"; so they preempted that by explaining the overarching plot and themes in the opening credits. I didn't hate them, but it did make me nervous that this season…
