1. haven't seen that episode in a while, but it's a good one

The last time I saw it was last year when we were working our way through the entire season. It's the first episode on the season 3 disc, but isn't really part of season 3, since they explain at the beginning that it's outside the continuity of the series having been written in response to the attacks. It kind of blew me away at the time, since I had forgotten about the episode and wasn't expecting the 9/11 tie-in. Great show, though.

Were you watching it intentionally to commemorate? Or just happened to be watching?

2. Just happened; been watching WW, round and round,

and this happens to be this week's disc. Wanted a break from blah blah on tv, decided to watch sanity, and voila.

3. nice timing

:thumbsup:

I've been avoiding the commemorations, because it conjures up bad feelings along several different axes, but I think I might have to watch that episode tomorrow ...
