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!!

What is even happening?

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

it bugged me that Cormac waited until a dramatically significant moment to pull out the gun.

Okay, so him shooting Kendall didn't actually have anything to do with Vinnie following them? That was confusing me. Did he know that they were being followed? And why did Keith immediately assume that Kendall was in danger when he realized that they were being followed?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've said it before, VM has really confusing cliffhangers. They don't seem to know the difference between HSQ and WTF.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They don't seem to know the difference between HSQ and WTF.

HA. That's a really good way of describing it, Tom. They've had some good HSQs, though, like Lynn's suicide, and Clarence Wiedman's appearance at Barstow. Oh, and finding Veronica's name on Curly's hand was good.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

And why did Keith immediately assume that Kendall was in danger when he realized that they were being followed?

Because Liam was trying to find Kendall for "his share" of the money and Keith knows Liam isn't above killing people, and as far as Keith knows, no one else has any real interest in where he or Kendall would be.

that wasn't my take. i thought he figured out when he looked in the glovebox for the gun that he'd figured out that Cormac had taken it and Kendall was in trouble.

I said "figured out" way too many times in that sentence. i blame trying to be stealthy at work.

But it wasn't Liam who killed her, but Cormac. I got the sense that he thought she was in danger from Cormac specifically.

i thought he figured out when he looked in the glovebox for the gun that he'd figured out that Cormac had taken it and Kendall was in trouble.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the gun in the glove compartment. But then, why did he look for the gun in the first place? The way I read that scene, he knew Cormac was going to go after Kendall when he realized Vinnie was following them, and the missing gun was just extra visual confirmation for the audience.

I guess my followup question is: would Cormac have killed Kendall if Vinnie hadn't been following them? And if not, how did he (Cormac) know that they were being followed? I'm confused by how those two plot points seem to be related.
