What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There was a LOT packed into that episode. Every time I fast-forwarded through another set of commercials, I was surprised at how much there was left. This is some good storytelling.

YES. It's become so much better lately.

As I said before, and as everyone says now, yeah: I had grown to really like Dooley, so dammit. That was sad.

I hadn't put together the rage gas with the Battle of Finaw, but that makes sense! Eesh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And Peggy never left the office.

Whoa, you're right.

The one bit that seemed awkwardly-done was Dooley locking up Peggy and Jarvis and then leaving; why were they loose in that room anyway if they were in custody?

I did enjoy the whole bit with the table and the mirror and then "We're still attached to a table." That was cute.

That's the action version of "Shouldn't we be doing something constructive?" "What did you have in mind? A short, blunt human pyramid?"

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Peggy's remarks about flying glass and flying bullets were great in that scene, too! They are really kind of adorable together. (in a non-snippy way.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I found myself kind of hoping that Sousa was a double agent just because I think that would be fun to see Enver play. Good fight scene without that, though.

Very much enjoyed the parallel construction in the hypothetical people behind the mirror discussion.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I echo the sadness at the Chief's demise. And I immediately thought, "I bet that's what happened at Finow", when the doc and Dottie were walking away from the theater.

That was a lot of episode!

Brrrr! What happened at the movie theater reminded me of that way disturbing Sandman story at the diner. Again, I say Brrrr!
