First things first: can anyone explain or guess at the meaning of the title for this episode?. I'm thinking along the lines of 'shades of grey' = shades of morality or something like that but I'd love to hear some other opinions.
I loved this ep. Best Jack episode so far -- RDA impressed me. I was totally confused, thinking he had gone nuts -- the whole fake-out was a complete surprise to me.
I hate Maybourne, which I gather we are supposed to, and yes his teeth (and his bulging eyes) annoy the hell out of me. I do think it was a bit odd that he wasn't more distrusting of Jack considering how rude Jack has been to him and how obvious it is that he hates Maybourne's guts. Perhaps Maybourne is just meant to be a bit of an idiot.
It was interesting seeing Sam's reaction to Jack's 'new personality', especially in the wake of 'A Hundred Days'. She really seemed truly disappointed and horrified about Jack's theft and ensuing behaviour. Shippiness galore. And then the look of relief and complete restored faith on her face when she finds out it's all a foil. This ep made me realize how Sam's affection for Jack is based to some degree on a hero-like worship of him. She really looks up to him tremendously, which is interesting considering how she is much more intellectually brilliant than he is. Why do we brainy girls always go for the smart alec risk-taking jocks?
