Well, there is a difference between refreshing every ten minutes or so, and refreshing every five seconds or so. I only count the latter as obsessively refreshing!

Oh, that's not obsessively refreshing. Obsessively refreshing is when you set an alarm for every five minutes to make sure you don't miss an interval.

Wow, there was not a single part of the episode that didn't feel like getting kicked in the chest.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.
All sorts of "ouches" all over this thing. Poor Faulkner. If they all hit home on Reyes, this one hit way too close to home for Faulkner.

Tears. Literally, tears. The beach, and then Esther alone with the parents at Idlewood, and, and, and... Tears.

At the end, I found myself hoping the easter eggs would lighten the mood a bit. They didn't. |

Almost. More like slugged in the diaphragm with a Torah scroll. Those things are heavy. There were so many perfect little touches that I caught only because this is *my* background - the bit about Falkner not wasting food, the Reb Tarfon quote "neither was she free to desist from the work".... that I'm sure I've missed an equivalent number in other author's chapters, because these PtB are like that. One thing they've kept remarkably consistent among authors is the body language. It's everywhere, every episode. And I know that if I were there I'd never infer so much from a nod or gesture - or if I did I'd get it wrong - but these characters have jobs for which that's a necessary skill, and having it so consistent, and occurring only among the Profilers or between characters who know each other's gestures intimately makes it believable even for those of us who are a bit more deaf to body language. |

Aieeee.
Utterly wrenching.
(And then those Easter eggs... argh.)
(In other words, excellent work.)

My fandom is masochistic.
I'm sure that's already been said, but I enjoyed this episode a Hell of a lot, despite the fact that it felt like getting emotionally mugged every other paragraph. It made me a lot more interested in Falkner, and the Frost bits were excellent.

Oh, Es. Oh, Sol. The caretakers of the team at work.
H'm. Beyond that: I am not liking Hafidha very much this week. We shall see how that goes. ~mutters under breath~
While I understand the in-show logic for why food is such an all-pervading presence in the series, it's starting to get wearing. This ep was a bit of an overload.
Will have to reread before I have anything more constructive or interesting to say.
