sailing the fingers of the dragon

Your post reminded me to watch last night.

In a lot of ways, I'd been waiting for Alicia to do what she did (or something similar) ever since the show began, so the "what will it actually take?" question that had been burning in the back of my mind all through the past two seasons was finally answered in this episode. The thing with Cary and Peter (along with the short-term Patti plotline)) could very well transform my experience of the show as something like the manner in which I enjoyed Made In Canada, which was mostly awe and delight over the deviousness of the scheming, which while fun, (I mean, I loved Made In Canada) would kind of distract from the emotional resonance. I sort of hope it doesn't got that way entirely.
