that was a really good episode. like a really, really, really good episode.

i liked how they did it in real time (although i don't know if i buy the fact that it was all done in an hour). now i'm a bad numb3rs fan in the sense that i usually write during the show (i write during most shows i watch) but you know it's a good episode if i don't write through it. first couple minutes, i got a couple more paragraphs done on my calleigh/dean fic, but when they actually started to get into the action, i had to put the notebook down.

i like the shrink. he knows just how to push don's buttons and get him to admit things he doesn't normally want to admit. i loved how guarded don was against him, yet disbelieving at the same time, that he really is the way he is. and the shrink started to push his buttons more, and these revelations in his character were being made that you wouldn't normally think of. and under these things was this case where the team had to pull together without him, and do this case, and how the sections of the epsiode corresponded with what they were talking about.

and it definitely showed, if nothing else, how megan's brain works a different way from don's. i liked how she called amita before charlie when she heard that they were dealing with a different kind of technology, while don goes more the roundabout way and ask charlie about it, before amita offers a suggestion. i loved the team connections in this, and how megan was panicking when she heard they were going to lose colby and she and david were trying to figure out what was going on, and then they realized that they really had to trust charlie.

the only thing i would rather be different, is I wish that Diane Farr hadn't been pregnant, so that we could really see Megan up and moving around.

that is all.

I can't wait to watch it!

oh, it was so good. everyone was spot on. i mean, look at this--it actually made me think of character development-y things! i never come up with stuff like this!

this is probably going to be my favorite numb3rs episode of at least the season.

The last half of the episode basically I was all "Go, Granger! Go!!" Seriously, he had to be tired. All that running? Poor Colby. And he saved that kid, and got a "no questions asked" IOU from a gangsta. Way to be.

(I wonder if he'll ever call it in?)

And Megan worrying about Colby -- I so loved that. Not just because of my intense Colby/Megan shippyness, but because it showed the dynamic of the team and how they weren't going to trust his life with just anyone. Can't let it go.

But Don? Yes. The whole trust thing had me making sad faces. I mean, everyone who watches the show knows he has issues connecting with people, but I didn't know it was that serious. That he didn't trust his team.

every time they told him to go to a new place, i was thinking, oh man, it's a good thing he's in shape.

(i don't know. would be pretty interesting if he did.)

that team is seriously amazing. the trust between everyone is really amazing.

and i was sitting there thinking oh, don. oh, don don don. he feels like he needs to take everything on himself, and he can't rely on other people (probably because of all the times he's lost something important to him before) and he feels that since he's the boss and everyone's relying more on him, he can't rely on them. it's kinda sad really. he needs therapy more than everyone thought.
