Kalshane, I am so with you on that. I love that we can actually
identify
what games they're playing. Even when there's only, like, a one-second shot of a cutscene from
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.
There was a scene in
Dead Like Me
where a character was obviously playing
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,
and the sound effects were bleeps and bloops like he was playing Atari or something. Really annoyed me.
Teppy already said what I thought about the episode.
The other part that I thought was fun was the promise of a very pissed off Lamb.
I'm hoping that there are things not so obvious that play into the big picture on the season arc.
Lamb was lots of fun this episode -- and I hope will remain pissed off at Veronica for a good long time.
I anticipate another "random" locker search.
"Let's see here, Veronica. What? Five pounds of heroin? This is a little awkward."
Oh, speaking of Lamb, I thought of one other thing I liked about the episode. It's the part where he gets all frustrated with Veronica and tells her that he should have just arrested her and Duncan when he busted them at the Mannings' house, and then he wouldn't have to deal with Celeste Kane freaking out over the kidnapping/Duncan's disappearance.
I think that really captures Lamb's fundamental character, right there. He knows what the right thing to do is, and when push comes to shove he does it, but mostly he just doesn't want to deal with anything complicated.
I did, actually, like how that one interaction really summed up who Lamb is.
I anticipate another "random" locker search.
"Let's see here, Veronica. What? Five pounds of heroin? This is a little awkward."
"I thought they were just statues of the virgin Mary."
Well played, Daniel. Well played.
Can someone remind me of who Astrid is? Where had we seen her before?
she was Celeste's "maid" in My Mother, the Fiend.
She's the Kane housekeeper-type Veronica thought might be Mrs. Kane's illegitimate child.
