First off, let me say that this is the first time that I have created a thread regarding my favorite show. Second, I don't think this idea is necessarily thread-worthy. But the discussion for this episode has been rather thin, and can't think of a better place for it, so here goes.

When Carol was talking to Morgan at the beginning of the episode, I thought to myself, "That was just like when Toby figured out what Hoynes was up to at the start of 17 People."

That by itself is pretty innocuous. But this morning someone talked about how Bury Me Here ended with the periodic sounds of Morgan sharpening a stick, and that reminded me that 17 People ends with the periodic sounds of Toby bouncing a rubber ball against his office wall.

17 People is considered by some wingnuts to be the best episode of the entire series. One fan even went so far as to create seventeenpeople.com . I myself think that it contains the best soliloquy of the series, when Toby excoriates Bartlet for concealing his medical condition. Along those lines Richard's explanation of his plan to Morgan comes close to being the best soliloquy of Walking Dead. I think it's the longest one, at any rate.

So that's it. If I come up with more I will revise and extend my remarks.
