I would be there right now.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I liked the episode, but I'm... bugged... by the indifference to the pizza guy death.
I saw no indifference. They all acted like very smart people who suddenly knew this was serious. None of the characters are the panicy type. It seems to me that when you are in a situation where you are aware that your mortality quotient just went up and you are suddenly sealed off from each other, you aren't going to focus on the death of someone you barely know. You are going to think about yourself first, then those around you.
It's not that they were indifferent, the characters just not the kind to be overly demonstrative when under their own threats.
As for nitpicks, the skylight seemed to have sunlight coming down from the right side of the ladder, but the climbing was done on the dark side. I hope Jack didn't hit his head. S.A.R.A.H. would have to take care of him...

New poster. Be gentle with me. I'm just catching up. =)
Loved last night's episode. I'm embarassed to say that I missed the lack of reaction to the pizza guy's death because I was too busy reading the "Pizza Pi" logo on his shirt and noticing the Trek "red shirt" homage.
The Stark/Henry conversation brought some great depth to both characters. Stark is easily becoming the most complex character on the show and EQ nails it.
My favorite fanboy moment was CF lying on the couch reading "The Savage Brothers" and EQ ripping it up later to cover the air vents.
The only thing that didn't read for me last night was Bev. Her "reconciliation" with Fargo wasn't really explained and she never seemed to take up her professional mantle to help mediate any of the relationship crises. I don't see how she was critical to keeping either Carter or Henry from leaving, which was Sarah's stated purpose for paging everyone. Maybe this has something to do with her sub-plot being edited out. So far she seems the most under-utilized cast member. I feel like I should be disliking her a lot more at this point in the show since she's our big villain (nothing personal Debrah!).

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yes, i'll be playing Carter's new midget minion from outer space.
This worked for Francesca Buller.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

I was actually talking about the end of the episode; they are all chirpy and witty and hanging out with SARAH and there was no acknowledgement that she had just fuckin' killed someone.

Sounds fair to me. Stark has Fargo and Jo is more of an equal than a minion.

This worked for Francesca Buller.

I couldn't agree more. Also, I melt everytime EQ uses his "I need to know" voice.
hanging out with SARAH and there was no acknowledgement that she had just fuckin' killed someone.
because it was BRAD, who I assume was disabled? But can you remove a program if that's what SARAH's built on top of?
When Jack was out sick and Jo was off playing paintball, who was left to guard the town?
Shoot, who's their backup if they get in a jam? Allison and the GD task force? But as for this ep, Jo had her pager on her, so maybe she was on-call, and that's normal? All calls to the station get directed to her pager? Or maybe it's "when the cats are away..." and Jo was being a very delinquint deputy.
