I was wondering what was going through his head in the this scene...such a good episode...such a good show I still don't understand why it was cancelled! :)

Very good! I miss this show. It had such potential. This fits in nicely with the two characters.

PS. Hope you don't mind a small correction, but I think you meant "Barely even aware", not "away". I expect your fingers were not listening to your mind. Mine do that sometimes.
