Roundabout

About a week ago I had a looksee at this poor neglected hallway of my internet presence and was astonished to notice that it had been close to a year since the last post on here.  So I thought it would be amusing to wait the week and have the next post show up exactly a year later.  Give or take twelve hours.

Later on in the episode, Candy Davis is wearing the same mesh shirt.


This makes sense to me because the episode implies that they are likely to be having sex, and Ron Tarr has changed into his thug suit, so why not?

As I am watching "Susie," I notice a character wearing a ripped mesh shirt. Where, I think to myself, have I seen that?

So I'm watching the next episode to review ("A Fistful of travelers' Cheques") and look:


I haven't had a chance to go through "Susie" so I don't have a screen grab from that one yet, but I promise to keep up on this amazing development.
