It sounds as if I've missed one.

Apparently not. *sigh*
The news media were talking about it. After all, it's big bombs!

End of last episode when John showed him Gray, I expected him to say
"who?"
For that matter, at the end of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang I expected him to
do a total blank on that.
But no.

But when they aired it after Owen died, they said that they knew Owen
wasn't gone, so then I knew Owen wasn't gone.
Last night they talked about this being their last episode before we
went back to the show and found out that they were for sure dead.
Or at least before *I* knew.
