And again, Joss still knew and trusted subtlety here (except for "Beauty and the Beasts", but I chalk that to the fact it was a transitional episode; besides, I didn't find Oz too sullen); he does't dwell on, for example, the reason why Faith eats so much whenever she can (when you live a spartan existence as she does, you eat like that when you can), and of course, my single favorite moment of the the episode; "There is no binding spell." As for Mr. Trick, I would argue that it's because he's a wanna-be Big Bad in a season that already has an implied Big Bad even before we meet him, so when you watch him knowing that, he does seem a bit lacking, but I still think K. Todd Freeman sells the part (I completely agree about Scott Hope, though).

Takes a whore to catch a whore - Kima, Season 2, about McNulty. You need a Day of the Jackal-type motherfucker - Avon to Stringer, Season 3, when Stringer wants Slim Charles to assassinate Clay Davis. That's good. That's like a 40-degree day - Stringer, Season 3. Day at a time, I suppose - Omar, Season 2, testifying at Bird's trial. Those are some of the ones that make me laugh. Here are some of the ones that break my heart: You gonna look out for me, Sergeant Carver? - Randy, Season 4. Come on, now. A man don't be shedding no tears - Michael saying goodbye to Bug, Season 5. What you do, what you do? - Bubbles upon learning Sherrod is dead, Season 4.

Oleg playing pinball just makes perfect sense. I've really liked this season so far, but it does seem like the investigation into who killed Emmett and Leanne is being dropped. I hope they get back to that soon.
