David, I am so happy you didn't forget to watch it! The parallels were stunning, weren't they?
Sorry about that Melissa. I just now saw your message.

(If you haven't seen this episode yet, don't read any of the following!!

There are very many parallels between this show and Brokeback Mountain. I couldn't believe it. There is definately a Jack and Ennis in this story. But I can't figure something out. And I don't know how many times I've watched it now, but why do certain things appear in color during the black and white (1968) scenes? The police car appears in red, the brick of drugs appear in yellow, something on the desk appears in red, etc. Why is that? What is this supposed to tell us? I can't figure it out and neither can Alex.
It has a beautiful ending doesn't it? I cry every time I watch it!
