Thanks!  they were fast and furious in this episode.....

And Wattles' license was issued in 2012

LOL, I caught part of a Dateline episode and the wife in the story tried to poison her husband with oleander.
Can't make it up....

Tuxie400 - I think the trophies were a bit incongruous.  Yes, they are something you would find in a basement.  But there seemed to be way too many of them.....we've seen trophies before.  I can't recall exactly where, but maybe in Nico's office (in the Mato episode, not Requiem from what I recall); maybe the bondsman's office earlier this season.....

I am really beginning to think that Red is caught in some kind of a time warp.

 Lara and I were just talking about that! Everything shows Red as a man caught in a time before maybe the 1970s. The fedora, the three piece suit and silk tie, the man-about-town, the quaint stories, the mid-century references. And who wears Vicuna anymore?  In fact, in the 1950s you would have known of the "Vicuna Coat Affair" and in the movie "Sunset Boulevard", "As long as the lady is paying, why not take the Vicuna?" Vicuna was not as well known after the 1960s because there were so few of the animals remaining.
There's far more, but there really is a feeling of a ghost from the past casting his shadow on the present...

HoneyWest - I think during the discussions on the home movies, you mentioned that the film/projector was 8mm?  which was once popular but after the seventies started to decline in use as it was replaced by newer film innovations?

It always did bug me that Red had that old film, that he lovingly spliced back together, and that old movie projector.  Reminded me of when I watched movies in school, in the late sixties and early seventies.  Also the style of dress the woman is wearing, seems to be seventies as well.  Which is one of the reasons why I've never thought that bubble girl was Liz.  But she could be.

Actually lara1, all that is possible about the cassettes, 8mm films, etc... if he is telling a story of his past....

So am I! I have had to sign in and out. Both phone and pc also.

They do out here on the prairie. A lot of us have 15+ year-old vehicles (including farm tractors!), and my local library still has cassette tapes of books. Granted, these are being replaced with CDs. To be fair, it's possible to check out MP3 versions of books online, but there are a number of elderly in Des Moines who still only own cassette players.

I was thinking about that a couple of weeks ago when temps were below zero. Sometimes CDs don't do well when it's that cold. Not everyone has a warm garage to shelter a car. However, the cassette tapes are still playing just fine at those low temperatures.

Iowa Watcher - oh yes, of course.    We have an older car that has one.  Our 2002 car (our "new" car LOL) has a CD player so I'm guessing they started to include those sometime in the early 2000s. I should have been clearer.  I meant in Red's top of the line brand new Mercedes.  If he has one in that car, it would have been a special order I would think.

Good point! In the context of the show, he may have said something like, "Include as few electronic do-dads as possible!" which makes sense because he's careful to use burner phones so he's not tracked.

I'm home with a stomach bug today, so apologies if I'm not clear. This isn't one of the harder strains, or I wouldn't be sitting here typing, but I can't be more than a few steps from the bathroom today.

Looking forward to the show tonight! Perhaps I won't be as tired.
