Steph,
that last use of music was annoying. I'm in agreement.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

that last use of music was annoying. I'm in agreement.
It reminded me WAY too much of the use of "Over the Rainbow" in one of the many fight scenes in Face/Off (which also annoyed me).
So was Janis' last gasp, lying there bleeding from a gut shot, her actual last gasp, or did she just pass out? Opinions?
I mean *Wesley* survived a gut shot...

no WAY is she dead. no way.
I won't believe it until I see her pronounced dead and see her blue on an ME's table.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
If President Coyote resigns within the next six months, he'd still be called "President" and would still get Secret Service protection, right? That could make the Senator/VPs flashforward claim true.
Also, who was the polygraph guy at the beginning? The actor looked familiar.

Oh, I also wasn't crazy about the use of music at the end, but they made up for it by using Clocky!

it jumps off your nightstand? No!

Yeah, Clocky made me giggle.
Not at the end, when it was wheeling around in her blood, but when her date gave it to her at the gallery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is Clocky going off all the time? It's not much better than her other alarm clock.
The songover made me laugh. I liked the gunfight just fine, but the music was hysterical. On the other hand I adored it in Face/Off.
I'm still of the opinion that all the flashforwards we've seen are true, but all the ones we've not mightn't be. Jon's scenario might work, though, since I'm not sure why she'd lie.

You know what? Mark annoys me, but I *really* don't want to see him start drinking again. For *his* sake, not mine as a viewer.
I suppose that's called good storytelling. (At least, it got *me* to buy in.)

Between that and Demetrius's demise I do want to be proven wrong. But Mrs. Benford can have an affair. Who wouldn't want to sleep with Simcoe?
I loved the look on Noh's face during the gunfight. Everyone feels they can't die if they saw something, but I think he feels extra that he can't die because he knows precisely when he's supposed to.
I just remembered about the drug dealer who said he was all pimped out in his flashforward. I wondered at the time if he sued for police brutality because Noh hit him out of hand. But that's another credibility question.
