I thought I'd do this one more time for fun.
Rewind Moments are the bits you miss the first time you see the episode, but catch when you watch it again.
So here's mine:
1. I'm going to hope I'm spelling this correctly, but Fred's stuffed rabbit seems to be named Feigenbaum. I believe there's something in mathematics called Feigenbaum's constant that trys to make some kind of mathematical sense out of chaos.
Fred asks for that rabbit once when she is first going to LA, and once just before she dies. Both times she is slipping into chaos. Is this connected to the caveman vs astronauts thing (the primal and chaotic vs. the technological and ordered)? Is there a technological solution to Fred's dillema?
2. Wyrd Demon Hunter told me on the episode thread, Angel states clearly it was Lindsey that sent the amulet and the box to W&H.
There may be something in a spoiler for a future episode that says that, but it's not in A Hole in the world.
The closest thing to it is when Angel is talking to Spike and he says,
At this point though, it's only a theory for Angel. That is why the statement begins "The way I figure it". Angel's theory may prove to be correct. I don't know. It will probably turn out to be one of those loose ends they never satisfactorily tie up.
3. In a similar vein, Jacklyn told me on another thread that a Hole in the World tells us Knox sent the sarcophagous.
This not entirely correct. Gunn says to Knox, "You did this. You did all this." Knox replies, "Technically that's not the case. I just played my part."
4. When Lorne descends down the stairwell singing "You are my sunshine", Fred joins in. Lorne reads her. Instantly Fred reacts. Was the infection triggered by Lorne's mystical connection to Fred when he read her?
5. Just a general observation. A Hole in the World is one of those special episodes that's better the second time you see it. Especially the final scene. Fred's death scene didn't really affect me the first time I saw it. The second time though, I saw and heard all the subtle stuff I missed the first time; the way Fred's head seems to fall of it's own volition onto Wesley's arm, the involuntary convulsions, and that final line...why didn't I hear it the first time?
What can I say? It choked me up.
