I was extremely surprised that there was no puzzle involving the ingredients in the cake. I think that would've at least prolonged the game some more.
This one was much shorter than the first episode.

I assume everybody found the Barrelhaven set as well? It's hard to miss.

Not really something I missed, but I was disappointed that you couldn't play the Midtown Cowboys tape in the VCR in the office.

Just after finishing the game I realised I hadn't tried that (watching tape in office VCR) as was going to load it up to try that out. Ahh well, I guess I've saved 5 minutes of my life...

...that I'll now proceed to waste on the Telltale forums.

after shocking Myra, when Sam tells the audience they're free to go, if you look carefully, the three silhouettes in the audience are from Bone: The Great Cow Race.

Also, have you tried using shaving cream on Sybil?

Yeah, you're right: I tried that too. What a waste of crafty television art.:p

Just finished and it was once again bloody brilliant. However I feel I must have missed a cutscene or something somewhere...

Reason being when Myra is blocking your way into her studio Sam seems to immediately be suspicious about hypnotism and swirly eyes, but I saw nothing to do with either until I was actually on the show with the bear. Did I miss something or was that plot point just dropped from nowhere a little?

I think the plot point just dropped from nowhere a lil'. Imo, the plot for ep 2 is lacking structure.

I realized that it seemed weird that Sam believed Myra was hypothized after one encounter, then again, his beliefs is that no sane person would have their audience members hostage. Everything was so vague till you get to the end and realize that the puzzles/game shows you do is required to get to the last scene. Hopefully, future episodes won't seem so random like this one.

I guess the problem is that in any "normal" adventure game this would be a natural conclusion to reach but in the bizarre world of Sam & Max people act strangely all the time without the help of hypnosis. But it seemed like that scene was more a set up for the joke of Sam considering her behavior weird and Max not understanding and thinking her behavior perfectly normal.

True, especially since Bosco can be described as a Paranoid Schizophrenia.

I guess you are right that it is more of a joke.
