I got all the connections that Victor mentioned (especially the Darla one), but it bugged me that Cormac waited until a dramatically significant moment to pull out the gun. That was kinda lazy.

Also, I know I'm in a significant minority here, but I love the new credits (because they are ultra-noir) and like the remix of the theme song.

They really grew on me, Corwood. I like them too. In fact, I think that at points, the music matches the visuals much better than the original version, the way the change from moody piano to boppy synth happens with Dick and Logan, and the shots of Parker and Piz have a special sort of energy to them. It stops working as well after that, but I really love that moment in the middle, and I can be propelled through the rest by the fun.

I love the new credits in style and tone, but I think some of the photo shopping was a little amateur. I kept thinking, "My hed is pasted on yay."

Really? I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't notice anything amiss at all.

I didn't notice any fakery, either. I liked how they seemed to be the grown-up version of the previous credits, having abandoned the bright drawings and high-school angst for full-on adult darkness with occasional bouts of intermittant light.

Liam was cursed by gypsies and got his soul back, which caused him to be tortured by his conscience for all the deaths he's caused. And then Darla dumped him and he got a haircut.

I second Dawn's BWAH!

The pictures of Logan and Dick together, possibly in front of a strip club or something like that look like they're paper dolls, stuck in front of a mural. There might be a shot of Wallace I think looks too photoshopped, too.

I liked the new version of the song. Was a little confused by the whole Kendall/Cormac thing. But enjoyed the ep. Was v. bitter to not be watching with TiVo. Stupid hotels that don't have tivo!!

meara, isn't it awful how TiVo spoils regular TV for you? When we were on vacation this summer, you'd have thought we were stranded without food and water, rather than just lacking TiVo.

Thanks for catching me up -- I was way confused with who the guy that Keith was driving around (and later getting shot at/by).

Glad to see Mac getting a lot more screen time.

The head-shaving 'rapist' put me in mind of the Tawana Brawley case. Bet you anything one of the young feminists decided to shave her head to get more publicity/concern for the date rapes -- and either there's a sick rapist who decided to go with it, or the unravelling of the fake rape will imperil the Actual Rape case.
