[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
So that rapist was the cop?
Umm. I think. Honestly, I am still confused on some plot points in this ep.
Also, HI! I know I see you on LJ, but this is more immediate. So HI!
eta that I don't watch CSI or any of that stuff, so it's gory to me. Perhaps some of these people complaining are also not CSI watchers. I am watching this show *in spite* of the gore, b/c of the Tim and Jane and Adam and Katie.
On a completely random side note: did it freak anyone else out when Adam Baldwin was wearing those blue gloves????
I noted it.
I don't agree. We've been given compelling evidence that you have to be fucked up to work for Web. It doesn't seem like a long way to go to assume they're seeing it through their own broken lenses.
While Web hints at all the agents having issues, Danny's doesn't seem to exhibit any emotionally broken behavior--not sure about Kate Finneran's character, yet. I know that Rebecca is fucked up and everything she sees is reflected through that. And maybe even Paul, too. I just think their reactions are not correct for someone with FBI training--psychology is part of their education. I kept wanting for them to display a little professional distance in their examination of the subject.

Yes, though it's not actually the gore, it's the pictures that bother me.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Was that this episode? I wondered if it was a Firefly ref.
Yeah, that would be nice.
I took some educational psychology classes and a good friend of mine has her doctorate in psychology. I'll be the first to admit a lot of people in the field have HUGE issues of their own, but most, do learn some kind of professional detachment.
I'd think that would be paramount in cases like these. But I could be missing the point because it might be the closeness to the cases that helps solve them. Or something.
In a character driven drama, though, how much detachment can you get? Especially from a rookie who may have failed her psych test and a guy appointed conscience?
For me, procedurals leave the investigator drama out. I never dreamt Tim ever meant to do that, ever.
The blue gloves were last episode and while they could be standard issue I prefer to see them as a Firefly reference.
Speaking of which, was anyone else reminded of the Alliance interviewing the Serenity crew when they were interviewing the assistants of the murdered women?

Yes. Loved that bit, too. Especially the male assistant and his eagerness to dish.
Tim's been iconified by our very own Partyman.

Good point. I'm sitting here trying to think of a way to delve deeply into characters while still maintaining detachment and not coming up with very much.
