Wait. BERT AND ERNIE ARE GAY?
Except when Ernie loses his pigeon. Then he's kind of sad. |

Except when Ernie loses his pigeon. Then he's kind of sad. Bert. Bert is the pigeon fan. (I think they're just roommates, personally, but then again I'm not gay. A couple of my gay friends have told me that as boys they did read B&E as gay, and that it made them feel better about themselves. Which is really all that matters, in the end.) |

Alas, the content does not. Closet monsters are, apparently, a late-night phenomenon. I suppose that's not news, really. |

My first exposure to the idea that monsters lived in closets was reading Bloom County as a kid. There are worse things to have in a closet than a Giant Purple Hornswoggler or Yuri Andropov in a Satan suit . . .

Tears for Nikki.
Little plastic army men, huh?

Oh, damn. That's a pile of ECR.
Poor Nikki. Geez.
And now I'm all paranoid about how Gray knew when Danny got back.

Gray could easily know somebody at the FAA who kept track of US government Gulfstreams. Or someone at the GSA, for that matter. And, frankly, it wouldn't surprise me too much if Sol knew enough to tip Gray off. (There's no canonical evidence for that, of course. Yet. But I can easily see it.) |

Sol Todd has been in the Knowing Things business since before Brady was born. That's canon enough for me!
I love hate admire the way the extra paired with the episode.

By the way, Leah, that's the second time this season that the PTB have given me serious ECR with deaths that have close parallels with my father's death. (The first was " Always Crashing in the Same Car".) My father (who went running every day) died at the age of 55 from a sudden massive heart attack at a time when I was thousands of miles away. Like I said, serious ECR here. |
