I was riveted, watching the end of part 2 of "Down Among the Fearful," when my downloaded copy cut short.  Arggggh!  Downloading a different one now.

Anyway, I was noticing that I mentally discarded characters and storylines as the list of suspects narrowed down.  I paid a lot more attention to enjoying the characterizations and acting during the first half, when they were setting up the world of the episode.  This way, I get to enjoy both ways of watching.  I missed a lot of richness in the complete episodes, I think, because I was focusing only on the solution of the mystery. 

So far, I find it magnificent the way this season is focusing on issues of faith.  My beliefs are closer to Lewis's than Hathaway's, but I'm a fan of Hathaway, of decency, of good writing and acting.  I like seeing how long exposure to crime is not desensitizing Hathaway.

I enjoyed the close look at the Tarot reader's deck.  I smiled at how new those cards looked; I bet that character's deck ought to have been more beat up than that.  I should take up reading cards again.  I haven't done anything with Tarot since I delved into it for writing Seven of Cups for the 2011 SSHG Exchange.  I'm proud of that one, now that I have some distance from it.

Neck brace, sideburns, shoulder blades.  Hathaway's got an unforgettable look for this episode, doesn't he?  :-)
