  • Maurice's storyline seemed a little bit out of place here, but the rest of the episode just keeps me reminding why I love this show so damn much.

    This episode is so full of heart. Here we can see how Fleischmann is really enjoying the time he's having in Cicely, although he doesn't really want to speak that out loud. The first scene of him writing the letter and the final one with everyone gathering up for the picture are amazing.

    And it's great to see Eve. I kind of like Adam better, but when he's not there to shine over her, she can really get along pretty well with the rest of the cast.

    Oh, and what a great opportunity for me to get to know "Common Threads" by Bobby McFerrin. Great song :)moreless

    • Some of the final close-up images of the group photo at Joel's party do not match the whole photograph which is seen at the beginning of the scene. For instance Joel and Maggie are next to each other in the close-up, but noticeably apart on the photo.

    • When Joel is talking with Eve in his office about her condition, he takes off his glasses; the camera shifts to Eve for her lines and then back to Joel, who takes off his glasses again.

    • Joel: (writes letter) Life here is so elemental. So real. Without the interference of civilization you can really experience things like, ... silence. Silence and darkness in its purity. Right now, right outside my window all I can see is a black void. Endless darkness. It's totally exhilarating, ... and I feel very lucky to be here. Very, very, very lucky.
