-I mean, I'm in such a good mood that I can't even be angry about Ryan's Epic Fuckup. Which earned its Epic moniker, by the way. I mean, he was doing so well last week, and then...bam. Fuckup time.

However, is that a glimmer of S3 "I'm not interested in proving myself" Ryan that I saw in that scene where they were processing the gun? Hurray! That might almost make up for how wierdly pushy he was being with Natalia in the beginning of the episode. 

-Could we have payed a little more attention to Frank, please? I was quite worried about him, especially when that girl got shot. I figured it would be just like them to kill him off here and expect nobody to notice. 

That said, I want the Frank Action Suit back. That patrol uniform is weirding me out. 

-Still not enough Alexx...*taps foot impatiently*

-I hate myself for saying it, but I may be starting to like Kyle. He just looked so helpless and small in that holding cell...*cuddles*

I'm still trying to figure out why they stopped for a random haircut, though. Especially since it made him look even more twelve than he did already.
Muse: Isn't it obvious, though? He needed an emergency dye job if he was going to be inducted into the Loyal Fraternal Order of the Ginger.
Me: ...I'm not listening to you anymore.
Muse: You're the one feeding me Classic Who, baby. You should be proud I didn't mention Turlough the Ginger Minx, the Order's Supreme Grandmaster.
Me: No more drugs for you.

-I kind of wish that The Three Convicted Amigos had told Kyle who his father was, rather than Horatio himself. It would have gotten all the drama of The Big Reveal out of the way and would have allowed the fallout to happen as awkwardly as possible. That said, I think the scene was handled okay - there's no big, dramatic buildup to it like I thought there would be. 

Of course, that may be because I lack an adequate sense of drama and had a dialogue something like this going throughout that whole scene:

Horatio (untying ropes): Kyle? Kyle, are you all right?
Kyle (tears off gag): You fucked my MOM?
Horatio: ...What?
Kyle: You fucking FUCKED my MOTHER?
Horatio: I really don't think this is a good time, Kyle. 
Kyle: Holy Jesus CHRIST.
Horatio: Seriously. Kyle. Not now. 
Kyle: But that's why I've always had the weird obsession with sunglasses, isn't it? God, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
Horatio:  -__- You want to make that a bit louder, kid? I think half the cellblock didn't hear you.

-Um...is it so wrong that I couldn't remember The Three Convicted Amigos names and ended up just calling them Tatts Convict, Three-Strike Convict, and Fooshy-Hair Convict? I don't remember what I called the fourth Amigo when he showed up.

-Wha - whu - Rebecca Nevins exists? She didn't die in the S4 Continuity Chasm? Oh my stars and garters, the writers might actually be paying attention. This makes me gleeful. 

What also makes me gleeful is how she and Horatio are still all icy and snippy and mad at each other. It's a good thing most of Horatio's love interests conveniently die off; he doesn't handle breakups all that well.

-I spent a good twenty minutes being STONE DEAD from the Marisol reference - not just the Marisol reference, the RIO reference, which was completely unexpected. And a Marisol/Rio reference INVOLVING ERIC, no less. I can now say with confidence that, when we die, we go to Disney World. But with angels and fairies and unlimited calorie-free funnel cake.
