I never had a chance to mention before how much I love Dan Dority. Like, I have a little crush on him and he seems so cuddly-- like a Teddy Bear. Even though he is a henchman and kills people.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

With his bare hands even. So more like a grizzly, less like a teddy.
But yeah, Dan was kind of awesome. I like how they let little details of just how much he and Al had meant to each other over the years.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I completely agree with you, Sophia! I even called him a big murderous teddy bear. He's clearly become one of my favorite characters; I was disappointed there wasn't more of him in this last episode, after four episodes where he figured pretty prominently.
I'm still not sure I understand Trixie as a character. Is she just the whore Al fancies the most? Is she officially above the others in a hierarchy (like Joanie seems to be? I'm not sure whether Joanie herself is a whore or not, given Toliver's whole "Were you not asking my permission?" bit)? I don't get why she's been focused on. And it's so sad to see her every time because her bruises haven't healed yet.

I think those relationships will become more clear in time, P-C.
After Tom Block wrote his powerhouse High Hat essay about the fight in Season Three involving Dority, I heard that W. Earl Brown himself had commented on it at the HBO forum.

That was awesome. I'm not surprised. Of course, i'm still basking in that pepper steak.

The essay or the scene? Cool either way, but especially so if it was the essay.

That essay was brilliant.

The essay, the way I heard it. I didn't go over to the HBO forums to verify it, though. Too many idiots.
