** Again, the RealitySubtext makes it hurt worse. Elisa Hoffman was based off Elizabeth Hartman, an actress who starred in ''APatchOfBlue'' and had her career dry up when she got older, resulting in a "killed by Hollywood" suicide.

* Donnie's quietly hurting reaction to Tacoma and Rebecca laughing at his cheap Optimus Prime outfit. He stands there for a while completely silent and then when he tells Tacoma that his costume is worse, his voice is measured just enough to let him know he went too far.
