End of Season 3 - Ozfest begins

So I have 3 days to watch 24 episodes so that I'm right on track for the new (to me) season.  Whew!  Thank God for 3 day weekends.

From "Secret Identities" by Tom Fontana and Sunil Nayar - significant for being the beginning of the ill-fated courtship (of sorts) between Adebisi and Said.

From Out O'Time - Fontana, going solo again.  Credit needs to be given to the director Barbara Kopple for some beautiful images - Keller and Beecher having a quiet conversation on either side of a chasm overlooking the common area of EmCity, Howell & Wittlesey's catfight, and the New Year's celebration between Beecher & Keller..

There are also some nice images from this season -
1) Nekkid Ryan O'Reily (A Word to the Wise)
