He bought it after his first cook with Gale, and Gale recited "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer" to him afterward.
Basically, it was a moment when they bonded over just LOVING chemistry SO MUCH. In this episode, his chortle and subsequent tossing away of the book seemed like a "remember when I wasn't a crazy greedy lunatic about all this?" moment.
I liked it, but I did find myself thinking "Nolan! Show, don't tell!" a lot. Like when Catwoman is all mad at that guy who hired her in the beginning, and he spends A LOT of time explaining the thing she wants directly to her, even though she'd be like "yeah, duh, that thing. I know what it is."
Also, I really hated the big switch for Marion Cotillard's character in the end. I felt like it made Bane less awesome to have him be a thug, rather than the mastermind. I honestly felt like the film would have been just fine--better actually--if they had not written her character in. Before her big switch, she was a very empty character, and after her switch, she was a very lame villain who hijacked a lot of Bane's bad-ass character development.
UGH. Just too many things going on, I think.
Wait. Are Michael Strahan and Josh Groban really the other two options? Does no one else want to host a morning news show? Those both seem like pretty far off from the first people I would call.
