Ooooh, I love that moment with the speech about why he killed Goode so much. I even spent some time trying to work Derek's line about doing it for Kyle, for John and for Jesse (and Riley's line about how she loved her) into the end of the vid after the end of the song as I did for a line of Sarah's at the end of The Queen, but it didn't sound right so I cut the idea. But I think you make an interesting point about Riley and Andy Goode - certainly they have the capacity to represent something very similar, though I also think that tied in with the idea of killing someone you love - a familial figure - to save the future, is the fact that Jesse creates Riley in a way I think darkly mirrors Sarah creating John. The parallels and interconnections are endlessly fascinating, and yes, I'm starting to think more and more about this entire show as a series of endless triangles - I think Chaila is right about that.
