Continuity: The hand that is pulled off of the hijacker is his right hand, when clearly the hand that Chuck was holding earlier was his left since they were sitting with their left hands to the window and their hands were on the window side of their plates.

This Show's Got Legs! Another Fantastic Episode!

What an amazing convergence of talent, writing and cinematography! It consistently provides a magical combination of wit, salaciousness, color and fun. I see an interesting analog between the relationship of Chuck and Ned and 21st Century social structures, based upon factors ranging from distance to sexually transmitted disease. I'll give it some thought and draw up a full proposal on it in my blog. Seeing my new buddy Dash Mihok in an episode that had an abundance of imagination, humor, romance, and allegorical virtue was just the cherry on top of the sundae. Please don't let the thick-heads who control the money take away this show...or what's so damn good about it. Shout out to Mr. McBride! Look forward to working with you again.
