This was good. It's an homage to "Rebel Without A Clue."

I like this episode for a lot of reasons. I like Becky and her love for writing basically becuase I share it with her

Possibly my favorite part in the whole episode though was towards the end when Jack Karoac appears at the diner and speaks to Becky and then he looks over at Sam and says
"In the circle of life we all go round, we are many people in many times."
and thinking about it randomly just now I think he could maybe see Sam because after all based on a reference from Al he seemed to spend a lot of his life drunk, and being in that state he should be able to see through the aura. So I thought that was really cool when he looked straight at Sam when he said that line.

Also like Vince said it was a good spin off of Rebel Without a Cause. Saw that movie in english class as a senior in high school, great story. I also very much liked Dylan's charactor as he is a good visual of how being at war completely changes a man and his thoughts and views of the world.I liked how he was the only one sympathtic towards Ernie about his son in Korea because he was there himself.

Do y'all mean "Rebel without a Cause?"

I liked it because I could play "spot the actor" with "Oswald" from the Drew Carey Show

Yeah I like that game too, hehe I recognized Ernie the resturant owner. He also had a small role in Pool Hall Blues and I have seen him elsewhere besides QL but I can't remember where.

After seeing the first 40 episodes of QL,i'm placing this episode in my last place of all the QL episodes. It wasn't very interesting,the acting was o.k,but only o.k. The story was weak and so is the writing,in my opinion.
In the bottom line - i almost voted "poor",but i think it deserve at least "fair".

I thought that this was one of the better ones. Of course, I somehow couldn't get past the leader being Oswald from "The Drew Carrey Show", and it was hard for me to take his role seriously. Other than that, it was pretty good.
