Never before have I ever felt so compelled to dedicate the review to one storyline. I've thought about it before, but always thought better of it. But this is different. For this I will.

Paul Schulze really does deserve some regonition for his performance, his acting was far above anything we've seen from him as Chappelle, ever. period. It wasn't all down to his perfomance that this episode's quality was in the stratosphere. The writing I think was particularly good, as it is always when there given a truly meaty storyline.

The episode ranks beside the "trial of david palmer" as one of those instantly memorable episodes, that for some odd reason could well be viewed on there own with only a basic past knowledge.

It's appeal wasn't 100% universal, with my parents finding it too dark and depressing for there liking. Which I can understand, but I felt that this episode probably ranks as one of 'the best' episodes all series, and I'm hopeful that this quality can continue till the end of the series.

Enough of the formal review type stuff, and now for the my personal thoughts on the episode. I can't get certain views and lines out of my mind, such as the tear running down chappelle's check and the line "god forgive me".

Thinking about it, I really should have a few quick thoughts about the rest of the episode, unsure about the new twist in the "doomed hotel" scenario and I really think palmer should have more to do, although I think that's just me.

A prediction for next episode, with no else for Jack to go as I see, Adam will be able to follow the Black Van via statilite.
