I love your observation of
I love your observation of the glass and how it both recalls and does something different from Jenkins's observation. One thing I find interesting here- in this specific scene- is that the glass seems to be serving a slightly different function, yet ... -
I really like this
I really like this observation; it's interesting- I was talking about the show with my husband/fellow viewer this evening (in comparison to Sherlock, although I won't get into that here), but one thing he said that really struck me as a nice tak ... -
