No, I thought that too. I mean, it was the same bar, enough people to have gotten Eliot rabid Twitter fans....not very logical.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Yeah, that didn't make much sense. I wasn't a huge fan of the episode, honestly, as much as I love Alona Tal. It seemed too broad and silly for a lot of it, and it was clearly written just for Christian Kane to sing a song (and they basically had the same scene of "Ooh, look, just like Hodge/Kane, Hardison/Eliot can actually play the violin/sing"). I don't know, the whole episode felt a little too over-the-top and schmaltzy.

Yeah, it wasn't very FUN.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ask John!
It wasn't one of my favourites, but I was half dead watching it. But normally character moments stick with me, even if the nuances fall through the cracks. Not that much this time.

There were some nice moments here and there (like Eliot fighting the guy in the soundproof booth), but...yeah, I can't think of much more heist-y, caper-y fun times.
It was written by M. Scott Veach, who also wrote "The Top Hat Job." Huh, I think I liked that one, though.

I liked the Hard Day's Night bit.
Alona Tal seems far too young to be kissing Elliot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I liked it better on second viewing, but yeah, it wasn't one of my favorites. And I wondered about the whole instant-fanbase thing too. Would Kirkwood have just said "Kenneth Crane" sang a cover of his song? He was planning for "Crane" to be dead, anyway, so he couldn't have defended himself.
I would have been happier if "Kenneth Crane" didn't sound so much like "Christian Kane", too.
I enjoyed the episode, it just didn't wow me.

I liked the episode. I really like Christian Kane's voice, which says a lot, since I don't like country music. I even have that terrible song that he sang in the VH1 movie with Monica. They should release that on iTunes, people would buy it.
I liked hearing John Schneider sing (had a little thing for him ever since Bo Duke, although now he's a crazy Christian)
I will, however, grant that the plot didn't make much sense. It's hard to see how Kenneth Crane could have gotten such a following, but Kirkwood could steal his song. Also, didn't make sense that all of the A&R folks were suddenly after Alona after a few bars of the song.
Disbelief suspended!

I figured that might have been because not only her voice but her looks were very well suited to country-music stardom!
I could listen to CK sing all day. Sometimes I do.

I was amused by that because it now appears to be a running gag with Eliot.

Because she's pretty.
