Horseface.

Ehh, I actually got a little tired of the Valcheck-opens-his-mail running gag for a while, until the finale at least. That part of the plot was good for drawing out Valcheck's anger more and more, but it wasn't 25-worthy IMO.

Yeah, I guess you could justify killing D as a business move, but no similar justification could be made for getting after his girl.

I do actually remember that. Doesn't he say something about putting meat on her bones too? I wonder if the writers were meaning to foreshadow that far in advance or just trying to explain to the audience that String was a suave dude.
