The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Huh. I've yet to watch the finale, but I have been watching the rest of the series. It's very good. But at base I think it's kind of The Killing if season 1 had been done right. It doesn't stand out as exceptionally bleak by television, small-town has dark secrets that come out in crisis standards.
This is pretty much how I feel too. I just watched the finale tonight, and for whatever reason, neither it or the series as whole hit me as hard as it seems to have hit other people.

What I liked about Broadchurch (and The Killing, that's a good comparison) is that it treats all the characters with compassion, even when they are doing terrible things. And that ends up very sad (unless it goes wrong like The Killing did for me and I end up not caring anymore).

What the hell was that Two Days Earlier on Criminal Minds for? Just to annoy me?

CSI: was there an explanation of all the codes, or why the circles of hell? I kind of stopped paying attention partway through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Uh...I don't think so? Admittedly, I kind of tuned out too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having a father who doesn't love you is hell.
Clearly.

That almost makes sense with the synthetic DNA, I guess. Big old metaphor?
Why do you need ternary code to use DNA for your message, anyway? I would think you'd want base 2 (like in Orphan Black) or base 4.
