Hey I hesitated to add a new topic because we have a nice "in order" thing going, but if I don't put it out while it's on my mind, it will be lost forever. (Which might not be a bad thing!) :P Anyway..

This one had a lot of undercurrent IMO.

* Duke's ego- He sure thought he was the cat's pajamas! He wanted control of everything in his world, but he couldn't control time. Or Hemp.

* Pretty boy Hemp-Everyone seemed to love him (except Duke). Goren even mention his embracing good causes but Alex got him right when she said he embraced whomever he could to get what he wanted. I thought Hemp was an a$$h@/3. He's at the club snuggling and reuniting with his ex-wife, Gala gives him a look and he's chasing HER! His ex sure had a motive to kill! We also learn that Hemp said something like "Remind me not to get old" to Duke. That is just asking for trouble! A-hem. I realize this isn't any shippy talk- just venting because it seemed everyong loved Hemp so much and he was an .... what I said before.

* The prostitute- Gala. She was a working girl, but I think she really cared about Hemp too. Didn't get the feeling that she truely cared about Stash.

* Finally we meet an old friend of Alex's (Stash). As we discussed somewhere before.... seems like season 8 was more about Alex than Bobby. Sure there were parallels in some of the cases to Bobby, but in '8' we meet Mulrooney and Stash, and were SUPPOSED to meet some family :angry: , and as Unicorn pointed out previously, the eps were heavy on women being harmed.
I feel for Stash. He is very much in love with Gala and she doesn't feel the same. He must really have it bad... he knows what she does for a living and that she is having sex with Hemp and Duke. Duke buys her Canary diamonds and emeralds, Stash can only buy her rubies. Well, the heart wants what it wants.
When Alex and Bobby are questioning him about giving the earrings to Gala, Stash says "I would have given her the world." It is so sad. Did you notice how Bobby pauses then for a few seconds and gazes off wistfully? He knows what Stash is feeling. :wub: Shippy!

* The abused wife- Good to see her stand up in the end. Loved the little smile of support Alex gives her.

You're so lucky ef, I wish there were episodes that I hadn't seen. I have seen them all so many times, I think I know the dialogue by heart LOL. I'm desperately hanging out for season 6 DVDs, to give my seasons 1-5 a break. Does anyone know when it will be available?

BTW, don't get too excited about Alpha Dog, it's certainly not one of my favourites, probably the worst of season 8 (the worst of a bad bunch). I'm sure however, that other people may have other opinions.
