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).
It's a real burden being right so often.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Given that they showed standard GTCA components of the DNA (there was a transition from the 0,1, and 2 to that), ternary was an odd choice.

This is probably a stupid question, but do they want us on any cops sides in scenarios like Blue Bloods?
Why doesn't lawyer sister say "If he goes on trial and *isn't* found guilty and it was him, HE GETS AWAY WITH IT FREE AND CLEAR. I am not doing this until I am doing it right. I'm not refusing to do it--I'm refusing to do it yet--let's make this solid and punish the shit out of the person who did this."?
I feel they give the cops the same frustrations and their convictions seem to be a weird mix of bullheadedness and naivete.
