IMHO it was a paid placement

Really? I actually saw part of the show (my wife was watching it, i swear), and the Google bit actually played a part in the plot.

So, do the product placement folks dictate plot lines? That's almost as bad as reading Google Zeitgeist and then deciding what your site is going to be about.
