What feet?

Absolutely agree. Even though I probably first encountered his borderline creepiness in Halloween, and his Blofeld tiptoed toward camp, the gentleness and sense of unsteady dignity he can bring to something is great.

Even though it came out a little later, this was always tied to Split Second for me. In high school, we'd have double feature parties and stay up til all hours. The Hidden had Claudia Christian, but Split Second had Rutger Hauer.

I was just watching some old eps on Netflix the other day, and I fell in love with it all over again. The whole titles sequence, actually, is so evocative of its era, it's fantastic (very alt comedy early 1990s - Ben Stiller had similar vibe).

There are these kids who smoke, and they don't care who knows it.

Bees!

I'm thinking he gives it to Barney with a line like "You deserve to give this to her; she'd want it from you." or something as a literally passing of a figurative torch.

I wonder if the headwound/minor concussion, aside from prompting a few  Abbott & Costello jokes on Gus's arrival, may have kicked something into gear?

Agreed with the enjoying that they aren't letting Shawn talk his way out of things, and that they did a good job of showing us that he needs to learn that giving her the jacket was not the actual  mistake.

Or their even deeper cut: the cover of "I've Been to Me" on the Ruby Trax comp?!

My friend had that t-shirt… Man we thought he was the riskiest motherfucker on the block.

And… I'm back after scouring iTunes (er, well, searching iTunes) and filling in the gaps in my collection with Session and Bite.

In a slightly sideways-related anecdote, the FIRST time I crowdsurfed was 10/12/91 at the Academy in NYC, at a Jesus Jones concert where Ned's was SUPPOSED to be opening, and hence my attendance.

In Defense of Animals and that Greenpeace solar-generator one were others for me  - it was an era where one track would play on modern rock radio, which would lead me to check out the comp and see 3 other songs, then buy and play the comp and discover 3 more songs… and the other 5 or 6 would get skipped, but hey 50%…

Which I just found out is a riff on Shakespeare via Willy Wonka. Perfect.

And the title of the episode is just a wonderfully awkward piece of poetry, to boot.

It also seem to be screwing up my formatting. Sorry.

@jmarquiso:disqus It's not letting me reply to you, but yes - I almost went there myself. 
I thought the snap of the flashback was then going to lead us through the season where we'd see a different angle on key scenes — "the truth" as it were, which would reveal it was Lana all along.Both her final words to her son…

I love that "M"'s were popping up all over the place (Moriarty, Moran, M. Holmes), but you know what I think is going to have to pop up again soon? Roger Rees.

Two quick factcheck notes: we saw her alive at the end of the previous ep, bound and gagged in the house of the guy who help Scott Speedman and the SEAL find her in the first place; I think it's "rare" earth metals, which are a thing - uranium, right? - but do sound very Lost.
