Oh, and the capper is, of course, Al's exhalation in the final shot. He still looked horrible, but he looked a thousand times better than he did before he passed the stone.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I said it before, but Doc thanking Al for not making him have to operate was one of my favorite grace notes in this episode. Anyone who's only seen Dourif in LotR or as the voice of Chucky is missing a whole world of gruff lovlieness from one of the most underrated character actors we have in this country.

Oh, and I'm about halfway through the second season of the Wire. Loving it! I don't have anything to say about it, really, but Gah! So Good! But I'm getting more of y'all's references.
