Huh, there used to be an interactive website. Down now, but there's a look-alike domain that's "Pokemon Gold Buy Viagra: 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed!"

Structurall, I liked the switcharoo on the viewer to make this an arc story - character death* included - and not just another random con of the week.

*Hardison saying goodbye to Lucille was cute, but they just kind of made up that Harison loved that van?

Rogers did one Kung Fu Monkey blog post for #214 and #215 combined, so, I'll leave it for the finale thread.

I think this episode marks peak luxuriance for Eliot's hair. That shot when he takes the batting helmet off, and the curls just tumble down? So pretty.

but they just kind of made up that Harison loved that van?

Nah, that's been a runner all season, of people dissing the van and Hardison coming to her defense. (I guess his being defensive about the van could be read as self-defensiveness, but, I do think there's been a "you people don't respect the van" runner.)

Eliot's hair

Yeah, I noticed the volume and body his hair has.

Also a little tickled that he ends up being a AAA all-star. Poor operational control, but funny after he disses baseball.

Hardison definitely defended Lucille earlier when Sophie said she was a little bit whiffy.

I definitely kept waiting for the hair product placement.
