Clutch "feel" issue after bleeding

As the title suggests, my clutch pedal doesn't feel right after bleeding.
I flushed the brakes and figured I would run out all of the gold fluid in the car, so it has only Super Blue in the lines.
It feels normal through most of the pedal take-up, but about 2/3 of the way up, it's like the pedal binds and then pops at the top of the travel, like there is a spring uncoiling against my foot.
There was no previous trouble with clutch actuation before (of course!), so I mustn't have bled properly.
I followed a DIY posted here, I thought, to the letter, but apparently something's not right.
Is it likely that air got into the bleeder when it was open?
Do I just try to gravity bleed again, or do I have to get off my wallet and buy a Motive bleeder to force any trapped air out of the system?

And to top it off, I found a torn outer left CV boot while I was poking around.
Crap.
One more thing to fix.

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
