Did anybody else see this show tonight?
Great to see horses featured, but unfortunate that they would use a plotline about horses getting drugged, especially this week of all weeks. I didn't see the first half, though. What was the background on the horse involvement?
I must say, the second I saw those hay hooks hanging on the wall, I knew somebody was going to get stabbed with one. Those things are freaky and scary!
It certainly proved the theory that anyone can look good in riding clothes- if they happen to look like Eliza Dushku! :lol:

I love the show. It's only around 7 pm here in California, so I have yet to see it. I'm sure Eliza looks good in breeches. Have you seen her in the yoga pants she always wears? :lol:

Oops, didn't think of the time difference. Sorry if I spoiled anything for the West Coasters!
Fancy, she looks good in all those crazy outfits on that show- lucky girl!

I liked the CO on the original lady, but I wasn't terribly surprised that Eliza didn't wear one during her riding scene.
Neither one of them looked all that natural in the saddle.
And I loved that this horse was going to be able to go back to being a 4 million dollar race horse -- and was also being hacked out in the woods by a 50 year old lady...there ain't NO drugs that are going to make that happen!

Obviously I'm going to have to watch the whole episode online. It sounds like I missed a lot of it! :lol:
Love your sig, BTW. Did you see the preview for next week? Wash is on the show! I love it that Joss uses people again and again on different shows.

I know! I listened to the audio from Serenity on the way home from a conference today and I teared up during the part where wash dies... I love his stuff and can't wait to see Alan :)

Oh yeah. I also loved that when she got up in the middle of the night to sneak a ride, she was sure to put her hunt coat on.
I love the show, but id they ever do an episode with horses again, they need an advisor.
I was really surprised that the dead lady didn't take off with Eliza's body! I think I would have. ;)

That was right about when I turned it on, so I thought, Huh, is she on her way home from a show or what?! :lol:

Did anyone else think it looked like Eliza did her own riding? The position was very unique, it made me think they didn't use a double with the way her legs were braced.

I just watched it at Hulu. It made much more sense when I saw it from the beginning! :lol:

Thanks for the link! Didn't have as much horses as I would love to see... and as usual the $4 million TB looked more like a school horse. Also they mixed young race horses with horses that a middle aged wealthy woman would ride.

Not to mention the fact that if you bang on the wall in a stable, the horses won't neigh, they'll bang back...and the neigh sound effects were thoroughly awful.

But I ALWAYS put my hunt coat on to ride ;)
It was a pretty good episode despite the errors. But then I like the show a lot anyways

OTOH, aside from the errors/bad writing, I could understand wanting one final ride and to tell your horse(s) goodbye. :)
