too many killings and I'm getting the coach and dean situations confused. and now Lamb? not fair! There were some interesting places they could have taken his character.

If the murder is getting solved next week, then I still think it is the TA. It is too obvious for it to be the Dean's wife or the professor, and it seems that the TA is the only person still alive who would want to set them up, plus an interest in wanting to committ the perfect murder. I haven't decided what his motives are yet though.

Well, huh.

As much of an ass as he was, I'm sorry to see Lamb go. Especially since, while he still being an ass about it, he was starting to believe Keith when the latter brought things to his attention.

And I'm more convinced than ever O'Dell's son did it. We've got a suicide that was made to look like a murder that the son was accused of, which mirrors the murder that looked like a suicide we've been following through the recent arc.

Of course, Tim seems rather likely as well. He or Vinnie are the only ones I can see bugging Landry's cellphone and Tim would have had more access to it than Vinnie. Also, it's not unheard of for Professors to have their TAs drop off or pick up their laundry, so Tim could have access to Landry's clothes.

We should have realized he was a goner when that happened.

And he had that little meeting with Wallace recalling the first episode. That should have been a sign.

I thought it was another 8 episode arc, giving it two more episodes. I could be wrong about that though.

They changed their plans. This arc's only six episodes. The last five episodes will all be stand-alones.

I think the killer's Tim as well.

Mmmmm ... the odds seem to be going Tim, Broody!Son, Hank, Mindy, in that order. So will there be a twist somewhere in there? "Cause Tim to set up Hank is a little clean cut. (But I'll bet the son borrowed the car to do something innocent like buy weed or worship Satan.)

And wow. Lamb dead. Keith sheriff again. Mac getting some. Wallace getting to talk some smack. Logan actually enjoying himself. (Although Logan/Parker is a trainwreck waiting to happen. Although they both have a sort of BBoC factor going on.)

Yep. Gotta say I liked this one.

So I have to wonder, with the 3 writers for the episode, and then MM himself, whose idea it was to have Lamb's last words to be "I smell bread."

I mean, WTF? I couldn't help laughing despite the man bleeding out on the floor.

"I smell bread."

Thessaly pointed out that it's a common phenomenon for people suffering aneurysms, which is the odd sort of thing she'd know. I think it's a "M*A*S*H" reference -- there's a famous scene where a patient says "I smell bread. Fresh baked bread. Oh my God, I'm home." before dying. (Yes, I had to look the correct quote up.)

Ah. I figured there was probably an explanation, but it seemed so wierd and random it sort of took me out of the moment.
