Hi Harold,

First, what a great episode! Wow. Was it supposed to be a joint backstory for both Michael and Walt, or mainly Michael's backstory with Walt in it a lot since their lives are intertwined? In other words, will Walt (and maybe Vincent) have his own backstory in another episode? Sun and Jin's episode was really Sun's, and Boone and Shannon's was Boone's. I guess we'll run out of episodes in the season before everyone's backstory gets told. Good thing that season two looks like a definite thing with the great success that LOST has been so far. Anyway, so if it is *Michael's* backstory (with Walt in it), then does the title refer to Michael in some subtle way? If it refers to Walt, then it is fairly obvious, but I've learned not to take things at face value when it comes to these writers......

I saw your interview on The View, and have to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I *knew* that you couldn't and wouldn't really give away any details about an episode that hadn't aired yet, but you had me believing that you were about to spill the beans! Good job.

I also liked the way you portrayed Michael and his integrity in trying to honor Brian and Susan in the way he told Walt what was going on. But way to go Michael in taking Vincent with you! Woo hoo!

Looking forward to the next installment, and wishing we didn't have to wait through reruns, although I won't soon tire of watching those either.
