So much dust in the living room air tonight. *sniffle* This was an emotional but beautiful episode. I imagine it must have been difficult for the actors to film. The music brought back memories too — I was asked to sing It is Well with My Soul for a close friend’s memorial service a number of years ago. Such a beautiful hymn.

That's an interesting fact! I guess one way you could read it was that the lawyer was taking advantage of Jeff representing himself, and was purposely lying to him to get him to agree to giving up the guitar... or that the story is set in a Twilight Zone version of New York. In light of how many of the episodes have been quite obvious about their social commentary, I thought this one was much more subtle up until the closing narration. According to an interview with writer Glen Morgan, one of his goals was to keep the possible gun rights/control aspect of the story from turning off the audience. Finally, White Rabbit is a bizarre but highly compelling song.

Speaking of Lena, Katie McGrath did a nice job in her scene revealing her collaboration with Lex. Our household remarked, “She’s crying like a real person!”

Because it’s Section 31, maybe? 😉

Somewhere in the Mirror Universe, a certain Vulcan has just started to think, “Hey, I bet I’d look pretty good with a goatee...”

Are you saying they're intelligent, but not experienced? That their pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking? Perhaps this is why Spock can help Kirk defeat Khan in a few years' time...

The BBC has a terrific show called Line of Duty which centres on a police anti-corruption squad. It’s all about catching the “bent coppers”!

Try to take it from her — see how that goes! 🙂

Wow, that ending was hard to watch.

So, are you asking if Han shot first? 😉 (scurries back to peanut gallery)

I see what you did there! 😄

The man who Mary visited was played by Barry Corbin, who I’ll always think of as Maurice Minnifield from Northern Exposure! Anyone have a piano that needs flinging? :)

We enjoyed that Sherloque's love interest in this episode was Renee Adler -- a nice reference to Irene Adler in the Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes stories. In "A Scandal in Bohemia", Watson writes: "To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex." Nice to see Kimberly Williams-Paisley too, although it's hard for me to see her as any character other than Steve Martin's screen daughter Annie Banks in "The Father of the Bride"! Wouldn't it be fun to see Steve Martin as four different versions of Sherloque's ex-father-in-law?

He was FIFTEEN! :D

We commented during the show that Ribbons was like an evil Zathras (B5 reference. Anyone else?).

Also, the Doctor’s part was moved from one side of her hair to the other! Edited to add: Okay, I looked a bit closer at what was happening with the mirror universe stuff -- it looks as though the scenes must have been manipulated into mirror appearance in post-production. Details like Graham and the Doctor's parts, the side that the Doctor's earring was on, even the pull tab on Graham's jacket's zipper were all reversed while they in the Solitract. Nice attention to detail, show! (All we needed was Spock with a beard, and we'd be at 100%!)

That closing shot, panning down to the open Kerb!am box has to be one of Who's most affecting images ever. Must... pop... the... bubble... wrap...

Not part of the storyline, but I appreciated this episode's vanity card. From Chuck Lorre's web site, with the caption "Excelsior Forever!": RIP, Stan Lee, 1922-2018.

Shaun... is right. ;)

Ah, an episode in true behind the sofa tradition! Really appreciating 13 so far!

On IMDB, David Fox is credited as "Infirm Old Man". His many acting credits include the role of Clive Pettibone on Road to Avonlea in the mid-90s, and John Blythe in Kevin Sullivan's 1987 Anne of Avonlea mini-series. As someone who has never read the books (I know, shocking for a Canadian!), I am enjoying the series for what it is, even though when watching with my wife, she graciously corrects the show when it strays too far from the canonical Anne! Also: how cute it was when Anne thanked Jerry for her Christmas card, despite the misspelling of her name!

Devoe: As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Allen. It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life, you're Bartholomew H. Allen, forensic scientist for the Central City Police Department. You have a Social Security number, you pay your taxes, and... you help your landlady carry out the garbage. The other life is lived in the Speed Force, where you go by the alias "Flash", and are guilty of virtually every temporal crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.

I'm pretty sure the season will be titled "Timeless III: The Search for Rufus". Season 4 will have a proper title too, but most people will refer to it simply as "the one with the whales."

It would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable.

From what I've read, there is a commitment to a series 5 and a series 6, but production won't begin until 2018. The prediction is that we won't see new episodes possibly until early 2019. In the meantime, showrunner Jed Mercurio is working with Keeley Hawes on a different show.
