Thoughts

There is a brief moment at the very end of the episode involving someone stealing from Hugo Strange. It looks like Strange is dead. The thief is whistling In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Thoughts

Yes, sure, I could describe this episode in detail but I don't see the point. Last episode was a flashback episode and this one is an even bigger diversion from the main story. The preview for the next episode seems to indicate that they will be getting back to the Soul Society in the next episode.

Carlton Webster (William Hickey), a rich, elderly man is in love with Linda (Kelly Preston), a much younger woman. He pays millions of dollars to change first his face, then his torso, then the rest of his body in the hopes of impressing her.

Thoughts

This isn't bad. I like the ending but as short as this episode is it felt like it could have been shorter or that they should have filled it with something more interesting than just the operations.
