I think the only thing that bugged me about the final chase scene was that all of a sudden they're all within a few car lengths of each other?
Yeah, I was confused there too -- I've watched too much TAR to see something like that happen and not wonder where they all got bunched up.
I'd also like to see more throw-away shots of unnamed competitors, like the couple on the bike, just for realism's sake.
Yes! I mean, obviously there are budgetary reasons not to show all 42 cars every week, but I'm not going to be able to buy these 5 coincidentally being the only racers within a few minutes of each other on every leg.
I just wanna go on the record: if the secret magical Florida mountain people sing "Brigadoon" I'm going back to watching How I Met Your Mother live instead of on tape.
This is a good thing, because the GI's wife currently makes me long for Saint!Cordy.
Now you've got me imagining Riley Smith in mid-argument, turning to the passenger seat, and instead of his wife Skip is sitting there giving a little wave and saying "Howyadoin'?"
Considering how multi-layered the characters we've gotten to know are, I'm thinking (and really hoping) that there is more going on with Army wife than just loving her husband. Because she was bugging me too.
Hopefully. Last night was...talky, and the scenes with those two made me want to change channels. But once Tully got in the Challenger I was re-invested.

That's a really unique spelling of "incredibly turned on."
Oh, I just figured they were passing on the other side of the road. And luckily no one was coming the other direction.
Except that there were lots of seemingly speed-limit-driving cars also going in the "wrong direction". The best hand-wave I could come up with is that the double yellow line separated out the high speed commuter lanes.
Yeah, the double yellow line drove me bugnuts, too. I figured it was just poor [some technical word for whatever special effects they're using]. But I let go of stuff like that if the story is intriguing.
Oh, one question that I had -- I thought that Tully took the lead, if so, why were there other cars in the drive in lot when they pulled in?
I kind of took that as Tully took the lead among the cars we were *watching* but that the unknown others in the race actually came in before him.

They probably went to Orientation.
I've skipped forward as I'm still downloadin'.
Seriously, Kevin, please STOP discussing this. Unless you're purchasing an episode of a TV show (for instance, on iTunes), or the network's website is allowing people to download episodes, then it's illegal.
Regardless of whether or not "everybody does it," it is NOT something we should discuss, and I'm asking you, Kevin, to please stop discussing it.
