Y'know, Blood Meridian is one of my favorite books, but I think Locke's not malevalent enough to compare to The Judge, who was, after all, an authority figure from the start of the book (and in contrast, I'd say Locke's only an authority figure to Boone, maybe Charlie, and now Walt & Michael) and a completely amoral cold-hearted killer. Locke exhibits quite a bit more compassion and humanity. At least for now.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
What was Michael's answer in that earlier ep when challenged on not knowing Walt's birthday?
August 24 (Episode - House of the Rising Sun)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
He recited Walt's birth date without skipping a beat.
Then, he asked Walt if Walt knew his birthday.

I knew going in that Harold Perrineau had better acting chops than anyone on the show except maybe Terry O'Quinn, and it was so nice to see Fury make use of that to good effect. Everything just sort of clicked into place regarding Michael, and much of it was done without being overtly spoken. Here's hoping he starts getting credit in the media for the great job he's doing after this episode.
I was thinking last night of fun theme songs for the various characters, and came up with the following:
Jack — "Jumping Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones for all the cliff diving and jungle flailing and stripping.
Shannon — "The Bitch is Back" by Elton John. They should have played this over the closing credits of "Hearts and Minds."
Sun — "Silence Is Golden (But My Eyes still See)" by Frankie Valli.
Any suggestions for the other characters?

I'm curious when in the shooting process they did the Michael flashbacks, because while I can guess plenty of things they could do about the hair difference, I've seen Harold Perrineau in enough stuff to know that he's not wearing a fake beard on the island.
Haven't seen HP without facial hair since SMOKE that I can recall. It really does make him look a lot younger.

Wordy McWord Word. He was great in the aforementioned SMOKE, but I think that's still the largest film role he's had (maybe Mercutio counts as close). I'd like to see him get more to do than back up Morpheus or get eaten by grizzly bears.

I'm pretty sure it counts, considering that's both what the TWoP recapper and cleolinda call him. And how I remembered him. I need to see that movie again, because I think I was tired and fell asleep the first time, but I did remember really liking the Mercutio, especially since he's probably my favorite character in the play.

It WAS a pretty memorable Mercutio (wasn't he in drag for part of the movie?). And, yeah, best character in the play. Also, pretty much the only one who isn't an asshat.
