Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

The HOward Epps episode from Season one alone is important.

See? Good reason to go back.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hadley got a first name! Took her a full season to get a name at all, and then another half season to get a full name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She was at my work event yesterday! I wasn't there, but still.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

She made Simon Baker cry, bitch must die! (Okay, okay, I admit it, I was wallowing gloriously in the man pain).

Interesting ep, and I do wonder if those were tears of some relief, or just tears over an old wound being ripped open afresh.

“Not dead yet!”

I think some of both, Julie-- clearly, she hit him in the one place he's still so very vulnerable with respect to the murders.

I wonder if she thought she was doing him a kindness. And was she, from Jane's perspective?

She seemed like a cocky arrogant bitch the entire ep (a bit like Jane used to be, perhaps?) and I'm not sure how I feel about them leaving her with her charade intact. Unless an aspect of the show is going to continue the "are there genuine gifted people out there?". I thought Van Pelt was constantly rebutting Jane's cynicism as a bit of ongoing drama, but maybe the show wants to make it a larger issue?

It would certainly present a certain measure of conflict-- even if this is the only instance in which we see it, it certainly introduces a measure of doubt into Patrick's previously impermeable confidence. He knew he was a fraud-- given what happened to his family, the only way for him to pay penance of sorts, is to not only to do good using his actual physical gifts of observation, but to completely refute the charade he used to play. The world it represented as false. To introduce even a sliver of doubt into that worldview is to reintroduce a measure of validation into this thing that ultimately cost him so much.

I think she thought she was easing pain, not giving pain.

I thought that this was an excellent episode. (I was making my dinner while I watched it and had to pause at one point - coincidentally, right Jane is smiling brilliantly. . . it stuck in my head to contrast beautifully with his expression at the end.)
