The Crystal Duck

[cheride]

Okay, for anyone who doesn't already know, please take this as fair warning: I LOVE this episode. It is easily my favorite of the series, hands down. So, that being said, it only makes sense that there aren't just a few moments that I'd like to showcase. Heck, if I could, I'd just set up an endless running loop of the ep playing right here, then anytime anyone wanted, they could just drop in for a grin.

Anyway, all that is to say that what follows is quite a few caps from this episode, along with some running commentary, so if you're already bored to tears, this would be an excellent time to browse elsewhere. <g>





Ah, the sniff test. Guys.



Heck, everyone knows you can't play with the Championship ball.


Or the crystal duck.



I always like it when HC lays down the law, mostly just to see McC's reaction.


Hah. So much for the poker face.





Would it help to say I'm innocent?



I love this moment; want to know why? I'm tellin' anyway. It's because HC is listening. He doesn't want to, and he's not ready to believe, but he's listening.



Mark's getting the low-down: HC doesn't pull strings.


Ah, chatting up Waldo. Because the kid thinks he's good with people.


Hah. Not that good.


Another nice moment. Even Sarah knows McC didn't rip off the place.






The Lone Ranger to the rescue.


Without a doubt, my favorite exterior view.




And yet more proof (if any is needed) that you just can't accept the tags as true canon. The guy who lives and works with him day in and day out can't be trusted behind the wheel of the judge's prized 'Vette, but he'll let the flake that he's known a day and a half take it out?


Now, wasn't that fun?

Can't have too many screen caps.

Comments: Man, that guy was skinny when this show started. And I do mean that in a good way.

A couple of near misses on the tatoo, but they definitely favor BK's right for shooting.

An IZOD! I knew it. Hah. (Okay, I used that in 'Art', and I gotta confess, the judge didn't seem like an Izod guy, but there it is in black and . . .ah, black.)

The robe is nice. Sarah's dress is too institutional, but I suppose she is an old-fashioned sort of housekeeper.

Consider yourself exalted, Mistress of TCD Screen Caps.

We bow to your superior abilities. And those of your machinery. Boy, these are great! If the picture quality of the DVDs is any better than these, then I'm going to be real happy! See what you mean about the hmmm . . . auburn quality to the hair, but the one pic I've seen of DHK with a _real_ beard, it was indeed red.

The pool view is terrific and we got a little shot of that angle in "Angie", too. Wouldn't it be nice to live there? Wait, I just remembered the city tax, the county tax and the state tax, not to mention the Feds. That's why we moved up here. Okay, a wonderful place to visit friends, then!

This is agreat ep and I'm glad we're starting over. Now somebody do Teddy/Farnell!

[lmlewis]

Yup, the view over the pool is spectacular. And that is the scene where you see the driveway comes around in the back, just as Susan Z. explained, but, oh, the injustice of Teddy getting to drive the 'Vette. And would you go to an interview for a job as busboy in a vehicle like that?

[lmlewis]

And, P.S., if we've got no space constraints here, I wouldn't mind that many caps from every episode.

[lmlewis]

And, oh, I just noticed it, the jacket handing from the corner of the crooked picture frame in #3 (the 'shirt-sniffing' pic. ROTFLOL. That kind of slobbishness takes a whole lot of effort.

Yeah, and the hanger on the other picture. But, it's two single guys living in a pretty small space, so you gotta expect a certain amount of mess. But, I would almost swear that later on, when Teddy runs upstairs to hide from HC, the bed seems made when he slides underneath.

First, yeah, skinny in a very good way. I had to kinda restrain myself from too many of those shots in the loft. And I didn't even get started on those b-ball shots in the shorts.

And, second, yeah, Sarah is so proper. HC is all comfy in his PJs and bare feet, and she's standing there in her dress and sensible shoes.

Hah. You should see my hard drive. I go crazy when I cap, mostly just to make sure I get close to what I want. I think it took me about 120 shots to get those that were distilled down here.

Kinda like taking digital pictures, huh? Never quite the instant that you thought? But 120, I admire your dedication.

it's two guys in a pretty small space -- you want to see two guys in a small space, look at the shot of them in that car! You'd have to use a can opener to get them out of there.
