der, and given the weight of talent she shares the screen with, it's to Dennings' immense credit that, when the credits roll - with some superb illustrative work over the end titles, it should be said - you'll be wishing the movie had spent more time with her. She's just brilliant, as anyone who spent time with Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist already knows.

therine are sharing Stefan dreams is actually explained in this episode - along with the series long doppelgänger mystery!

’s Bourne Identity mug? The only slight cockup I noticed was in the MI5 scene at the beginning: apparently Sam is 29, having been born in 1983, but Phil, born in 1985, is 31? Can intelligence agents not do basic arithmetic, or what? Perhaps I should cut them some slack, though: they did have the amazing Rebecca Front glaring at th
