I thought the goon dance was cute, but I feel like his cute is being shoved down my throat. I want him to matter a little. If he gets much more screen time, I hope he will matter.
I have a question about Nancy. Is she white? If she's white, then who is the black woman with the shaved head? Isn't there also a black woman with a shaved head? Is Nancy black and I just mistakenly filed her name in the ack-I-don't-know-if-that-blond is-Parker-or-Claire-when-bald file?
Nancy is the black woman with the shaved head. She has the megaphone in the premiere.
This is why I wish I hadn't lost my saved episodes when they replaced my dvr.
Wow, I remember her face from the premiere, and that's who I was thinking of, if I was asking if there was a shaved-headed black woman. I think she also might have been seated behind Veronica in the food court, when V got drugged a few episodes back, but the name "Nancy" was totally filed alongside a mental picture of yet another indistinguishable white, blonde girl.
I think the writers provided all the critical clues all season long --- we (most of us) didn't put it together before hand. Which is fine. I like being surprised. And the story was pretty good. But the execution of the story felt at times stilted and uneven. This may be a story I like better on rewatching.

Do you mean the whole nine, Narrator, or the last episode?
I'm planning on re-watching 3.09, tonight, to see if I am less irked by the Nancy plot point. I think I expected it to be revealed (that she lied, or [less likely] that Moe raped her) and when it wasn't revealed, my strongest feeling at the end was, "That's it?"
Rob always does cram everything into the finale. I get it, in a way. He doesn't want to give away the farm, beforehand. But it does make for some difficult pacing. I'm not sure if rewatching the whole 9 will help with that. It's not like we had re-run interruptions.
I have another question. Did Mercer and Moe ever share any scenes at all? Did one ever mention the other. Did we ever see the picture of Mercer and Moe, before last night?

No. Initially, Rob was going to have Moe mention that he gave up his single to Mercer in order to establish a connection between them, but he thought that would tip his hand too early. I like the line about the life-changing experiment better. I think they did a really good job of making the clues both obvious and not obvious.

The whole 9. Which will be difficult since I didn't tape the first 8.
Narrator, I lost your email, when you get a chance, please e-mail me at my profile address (click on my user name in this post, and you'll be taken to my profile, which has my address).

I think they did a really good job of making the clues both obvious and not obvious.I figured if the prison experiment was going to tie in, Lucky-Tim would be the Boy-Meets-World-Boy analogue, and Moe (and that hair) was the Freaks&Geeks analogue.
Did we know Mercer participated in the experiment, until we saw the picture, last night?
