Well, now we gotta go do the other three episodes and we still have to do the pilot.

But I'm going to sleep right now. See you tomorrow, Colonel!

night night Sidney

see you tomorrow and we can do the pilot on the weekend

I would have loved it if there were other trips to Barlow Creek, to check on Trish. Help her on the farm. Meet Ray Jr.
If it is Arkansas and not Oregon, like I assumed for years, then that's a pretty far drive to check up on her frequently, though.

Hwy 15. Where is that in USA? I wonder if they have multiple highways with the same number - like, one in each state.

If it is a state highway, then yes, I believe there can be multiple highways with the same name, but in different states, that are unrelated to each other. The interstate system is different. The numbers would be for throughout the US if it is an interstate highway. I think that Hwy 15 indicates this is a state highway. If it were I-15, then it would be the interstate.

She says the story she sold her editor on isn't coming together. I wonder what the story she sold her editor was,

I assume the story is to be about Ray. And I think she meant it was not coming together since nobody was even going to his funeral to honor him. Maybe she was going to interview people about Ray.

What *WAS* Face crushing of Murdock's?

I assume it was a body part that probably could not be mentioned back in the '80s in prime time, especially for a show that kids may be watching...

Now the bad guys are after Amy and Trish. This part is very scary.

In my opinion, this is perhaps the scariest scene in all the series. I think I would be terrified if I were Amy and Trish. Not sure I would have been able to react the way that they did, doing all they could to protect themselves

[Katia]

Am I the only one who wanted to smack Trish when she and Amy were holed up in the house?  Amy asks where there's ammo, Trish says there isn't any... while there are bad guys trying to break in and kill them... then as soon as Hannibal asks, tells him about a whole stash.

she wants to be part of the team, one of the boys

I don't think she was being one of the boys at all. She was being motherly. Well, maybe not fighting with the diner owner. That was more just being in disbelief.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that.  Nobody wants a mommy figure, and certainly the world doesn't need another woman stuck into that role.  I'm glad it was only part of the one episode.

I don't know if I've ever thought about Trish not directing Amy to the ammo that Ray had!

All I can think is, maybe she wasn't sure of their ability to use automatic weapons?  She does know how to load a shotgun. Still-- if someone was trying to kill me, I'd have a solid go at using any weapon I had available!  If it didn't work... *then* I'd go to Plan B.

[amyk]

Did Hannibal have to break a lock to get into where those weapons were? Maybe Trish didn't even have access to them. Or maybe she was just so terrified she forgot momentarily about them.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone has previously commented about BA not having regulation haircut in that photo they are in with Ray. (You commented on that in the other thread about this episode.)

[Katia]

I didn't think he had to, but I'd have to watch again to see. I don't think we're shown one way or another-- doesn't it cut to him opening the footlocker?  I always assumed either it wasn't locked or Trish gave him a key.

Unless Trish was taking Amy very literally-- "no, we do not have more ammo for that particular firearm." But I sort of assume she's smarter than that.

B.A.'s never regulation when he's in uniform. (I'm actually not 100% sure if he has to be-- for example, at the trial, would they make him shave? I would think so.) It gets mentioned a lot on IMDB, but it's also sort of blatantly obvious. (Not sure about the others. Face and Hannibal could slide, but likely Murdock would also need a haircut-- in the episode where he impersonates a general, does he get a chop? Or maybe he just does like Five Man Electrical Band and tucks his hair up under his hat... 

[amyk]

I don't think Murdock got his hair cut when he was the general.

[Katia]

I imagine not, or I would've noticed... but if he was walking around shaggy, other people would've noticed... I don't want to have to go back and watch that part again to see what his hair was doing...

Speaking of hair... I don't like this new haircut of Amy's...
