EDIT: Wished they used different guns though. I'm guessing the actor was in character for the episode, though I have never watched the show, so I wouldn't be qualified to say. |

I think the biggest potential problem with using a 'real' hand (ballistics gel analog?) would be the fact that the 'flesh' would be melted before the bullets actually exploded considering the 0:43 seconds needed. If they'd had the extra time in the episode, it might have been interesting to put together another chicken-parts fake hand and show just what would happen if you held your hand in a fire long enough to set off the bullets. |

Ooh...would that be considered chicken shot??  |

Just curious if anyone else noticed that they had tap shoes on in the final hitman maze? At least Adam did, which I thought was interesting.

According to the photo gallery for that episode, both of them were wearing tap shoes. I'm guessing it was to maximize any noise they made while walking. |

And I guessed the same thing when I watched it. After all, they wanted to test 'tracking' by sound as well, so it made sense when I saw it. |

When you think about it, the warehouse they were in was on a concrete slab, which tends to damper footsteps - as opposed to a house or second floor, which would amplify the footsteps. So, I guess the tap shoes could be seen as 'leveling the playing field'. |

I worked with a guy who shook the house when he walked up stairs. and I doubt he weighed over a hundred and fifty pounds. |

Know the type! I'll be surprised if Girlfriend's heels will be able to carry her past the age of 50. I've seriously never met another person who places such a high percentage of their body weight on such as small portion of their body with such force with every step they take as she does! I swear, sometimes I think she's trying to persuade the house to get up and gallop away! |

I'll tend to walk hard heeled if I am irritated, but normally I get accused of sneaking up on people. not bad for wearing work boots 90% of the time. I read somewhere that the human foot is designed to act more or less as a shock absorber no idea if its valid or not. |

The way Girlfriend walks, she wouldn't be able to sneak up on a noseless blind and deaf person sitting on a washing machine full of bowling balls. And Boy has unfortunately inherited her complete lack of sneakiness  |

Due to a genetic quirk I inherited from my dad's side of the family, I have abnormal construction in my knees and ankles. Because of this, my feet tend to roll when I walk; I hit heel - outside - ball - toes when I walk, instead of the heel hitting flat and going from there.
Because of this, even with as big as I am I can move silently 90% of the time without effort. This is with me keeping my keys clipped to my belt so I don't lose them. (The remaining 10% is down to either "noisy shoes", "joints popping due to injury", or "noisy flooring".)

I wonder if the DVR guide didn't show a new episode even though I did ask you guys. I didn't check to make sure it was recording or maybe it somehow got deleted magically and magically does not show up. I liked the shooting parts. I didn't care for the Breaking Bad actor and thought he was a bit of a jerk and was not needed in the episode. Hopefully no more Breaking bad ideas. I thought maybe they could have used carpets in the last shooting as well as regular floor, I thought. Didn't care for the fire and bullets but didn't think it'd work. EDIT: Wished they used different guns though. What guns would you want them to use and what would they do differently than the .22 they used? |

What guns would you want them to use and what would they do differently than the .22 they used? come to think of it there was a scene or two in an old war movie where a sniper with a .50 cal made at least a couple shots through some form of masonry. edit: he was using some form of thermal imager as a targeting aid. |
