fwiw, he's always been called HRG - that's not a fan thing, lol.

I LOVED this ep. I'm a sucker for daddy/daughter stuff, too, and this was amazing. Jack and Hayden just rocked it.

But... on the show? Did someone actually call him "Horn Rimmed Glasses" on the show? Because if not, even then it's still a cheesy device.

They definitely rocked it a lot :D Hayden is so fabulous.

nobody called him anything on the show for a long time, he was just That Guy. i think tv guide wound up making the acronym so they would have something to call him in the summaries. :)

(Side note - the TiVo summary refers to Mr. Bennet as "H.R.G." which just illustrates one of the things that irritates me about the show... they allow the fan presence to show through too strongly in the show's execution and advertising. He has a name now! Use it!)

Gah, that bugs me too! It's so dumb. He has a name! I get the feeling they started out trying to create some oh-so-shady-mysterious character like the Cigarette Smoking Man on the X-files, who never had a name at all, but considering how much we know about Mr. Bennet now, it feels contrived.

But yes, that episode was awesome and then some. :)

Heh, they're still being all coy about his first name. I kind of wish we'd learned it, it would have fit the tone of the episode.

He definitely made me come over to his side - the flashbacks were awesome
They were and it was about time we got a more in depth look into his past and how he ended up with Claire in the first place. At the beginning of the show I had my doubts about his character and the more or less blurred picture we had of him but he's grown so much on me and that last episode was the first one that actually made me cry *clings to Bennet and Claire*
