It was nice seeing Arthur, and semi-amusing to notice just now that he was more spooked by the team than by the Gamma.
Yes! |

*looks innocent*
It was all very believable up until this point. |

Damn you people for making me care so much about people who don't exist. *sniff*
OK, analysis:
The takeaway message from last ep and this one: repetition is going to become a problem for the FBI sooner rather than later. Gamma incidents are happening in the same places frequently and conspicuously enough that people are taking notice, to various effect. Celentano's going to have to push a little harder with Justice and the Congressional oversight groups for increased visibility.
And speaking of oversight: Reyes did what now? I really hope we're not going to end up with a pair of ancillary domestic sitcoms attached to the main SU plotline. =) OK, so Esther takes over leadership of the team. Brady is the next ranking agent, and the only other SSA, so he's second in command - unless Celentano sends Pauley Down the Hall to keep an eye on things. Speaking of SSAs, I think Nikki's about due for a promotion. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that the WTF contingent of Active Agents Allowed to Have a Weapon in the Field is, with Reyes' retirement, down to four: Esther, Brady, Nikki, Chaz. There's gonna have to be *some* new blood, budget cuts or no. Bets that Tan gets a transfer? Padma's not gonna like that *at all*. (Alternately, you could roll the WTF back into the main BAU and make this part of their essential mission. Raise your hand if you want to go into the field against a gamma with Murchison watching your back....)
The entire team should all be 13's, so in theory all of them could try for a 14 supervisor position. I'm curious as to which ones have taken the test though. I'd put money on Lau taking it, and the same amount on Brady not taking it. |

I didn't find Reyes decision to be that surprising, we've seen him essentially mourn (as much as he can) the road not taken with young!Chaz since season two and being given that choice for how to handle a young beta a second time it makes sense to me that he would choose a more pro-active role rather than leaving the mother and child to muddle along with something they don't understand or let her be raised in Idlewood.
Deleted : conjecture re: Arthur which has already been discussed. This is what happens when I forget to post things for a week!

I don't believe he's giving up on hunting the Anomaly after all this time - but he might be thinking that he could do a better job of it outside the restrictions and scrutiny of the FBI. A- ha. Now, that makes sense to me. I need to remember to read this entry as one more in an arc which is not completed as of yet, and so of course this sudden event will lead to other things rather than be an end unto itself. |

He may be simply following through on some plan hatched late at night with Duke, as they waited patiently on stakeout for Yet Another Monster. I suspect Duke's post-retirement scribblings are also part of the plan. |

Just managed to read this - didn't realise how much I'd missed Shadow Unit eps!
With regard to Reyes' decision - the suspicious part of me saw it as a chance for Reyes the scientist to study Autumn, and therefore the Anomaly, at close quarters. Plus, he could have been desperate for a chance to retire for a long time and this presents an opportunity to retire without looking as though he is abandoning his team.

It's all part of the pattern of moving beyond the scope of the team. Don't you think? So the team moves beyond the scope of the team, too. Hard on everybody, though.

Eeep!
Reading two new Shadow Run eps back to back after several months away, would be disturbing at the best of times, but 'Hope is Stronger than Love" was plain creepy, while "Latency" is one of those episodes where you find the questions spiralling in on each other as layers twist within layers.
We get Hafs back, only for el Jefe to resign? Argh, devil's bargain doubled.
Need to come back at them before I decide how I feel, but I should have come back sooner.

Um... has the episode moved somewhere? I get a "link borked" message on the site.
