I thought the episode was Alien + Abyss + The Americans, what's not to love?

If season five does not start with Paxson and Moonie finding an Emulex present in their cars I will be highly disappoint.

I'm looking forward to Boyd's Emulex rampage.

It got a little dusty in my apartment during that monologue, that's for sure.

Not just you man, I completely enjoyed the episode.

To your point, more people died at Virginia Tech and you didn't see nearly the same level of national grief over it.

@avclub-f5da81cd18adfdedb2ccb845bddc12f7:disqus one thing the show is extremely bad at is separating Lexington from Harlan

That would explain why they always had me go first when we were walking through sage brush.

@avclub-92535d689d97140a9a0b39b142a04d50:disqus  When I was a kid my parents used to take me along on field trips, and one of the field areas was infested with rattlesnakes.  I suppose all the safety lectures I got at the time have left me skittish around the little fuckers.

Those snakes aren't sticking to dudes faces. But yes, at the time I did say "Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes?"

The amount of cocaine that Waldo Truth had on him when he went splat?  I'm not surprised that the heavy hitters from Detroit (who apparently run the Dixie Mafia?) would be involved.

I hate snakes, rattlesnakes in particular, so that opening was terrifying.  And then with the snake on the dudes face, ewwwwwww.

I think I read that Winona will be back for an episode or four.

Even better, did you see what was written on one of other the envelopes Peter was going through?  (Apologies if somebody else pointed this out)

I watched the pilot live, and then maybe a few other episodes, but lost the thread of the show for most of the first season.  Then I caught wind of what happened in the finale and shortly thereafter bought season one on blu-ray as content to watch on my new PS3.  I raced through that first set over the course of a…

The combo of those two scenes, practically back to back completely did me in.

And I had been saying what this season was missing was Gene.  And there she was!

@boxofcottonswabs:disqus Paul and Storm's x is my y cover band joke is beyond old.  I do like their boxing nuns routine though.

I was thinking the same thing.  If the Observers never happen then these versions of Peter and Olivia never wind up together.  Since it was September who interrupted Walternate when he was finding a cure for Peter's illness.
