Will's cellmate

Yeah it was. Like the guard said, some people go a little looney after awhile. I was too focused on the other storylines and it completely flew over my head until the last scenes where I saw the "cell mate" in the fishing picture. Had to go watch it again to really understand what they talked about. As *beep* as Will's representation of his father is, he made some points about Will's personality that I had noted for the past few years. Plus, I really loved the quote about fishing.

Wow, that's really clever. I was sleepy last night and missed that. I'll have to watch it again now.

From the start, he either had to be a plant (an agent) to get him to spill the source's name, or his subconscious, having a dialog with himself. It's fitting that he would look like, have the background of, and present the views of his father. It was well handled, kept us guessing until we got a closeup of the photo.

Yes. Will was alone in his cell and the image of his father was kind of a day dream.

I watched this On Demand and luckily following the episode is a summary from Aaron Sorkin. I was confused by the picture Will had on the wall, and wouldn't have known the cellmate represented his dad.

I like some of Sorkin's writing but others I really dislike. When the cellmate dialogue started, I began thinking what terrible writing this was since I didn't expect a new cellmate dialogue to be anything like this. Then at the end when I saw the picture of Will and his dad, I felt like "Oh man. There were clues from the beginning and I can't believed I missed it."

Great episode.

Yes,
I think it was Sorkin's tribute to Stanley Kubrick.

Remember the very end of The Shining, the camera focussing on the picture from decades before with Jack Nicholson in it.

yep his dad, was great seeing will talk about his childhood and address all the stuff I've always noticed about him and how he treats others
