I'm sorry you missed the metafest! A lot of good discussion on the episode in latxcvi's, estrella30's and khohen1's journal, as I'm sure you have seen. A surprising number of people really hated the episode, but the people who loved it really loved it.
Oh, the little calf broke my heart. That whole shot of the Kent farm, so desolate! The landscape itself grieves! I'm never going to get around to writing my color essay, but one thing I did notice was that throughout the episode, there are three or four establishing shots of the Kent barn--and the light in each grows progressively less sunny and more wintry in each shot, culminating in that wonderful montage. And also, the only other episode with snow this season--actually the only other episode with snow that I can remember in the show (though I might be forgetting something) was Lexmas, which is a parallel I should go back and edit back in (as well as fixing typos--jeez there were a lot of typos in my essays this time).
