A. Donuts are good. Especially the powder ones with Boston Cream filling. Why do they call it Boston Cream? Mmm...donuts. Very bad for you. As most wonderful things are :)
B. 4-D has made me re-evaluate my entire opinion on Annabeth Gish's acting.
C. Don't you think Pusher looks a bit like Spencer: For Hire?

4-D was so good! I know everyone said it was one of the best of S9, but I always want to judge for myself. The scenes between Reyes and Doggett in the hospital were unbelievable. I don't know if it was RP was acting well (he didn't really do much) or if it was *actually* the writing, but when Doggett was tapping out on the little computer screen to Reyes I found myself going through an entire range of emotions. Happy, sad, excited, scared. It was so good.

And when Reyes turned off the machines my heart was really pounding. Of course, we all know Doggett doesn't die, so there was never a question of what would happen, but still. Annabeth Gish did such a good job conveying just how hard it was for her to do that. And putting myself in those shoes, I don't think I could have done it. What if I was wrong? Reyes really had to trust her in her beliefs. Enough to risk Doggett's life. And imagine what she'd have to go through if it didn't work.

Personally, I don't think Doggett ever believed Reyes' theory. The thought going through my mind when he told her to pull the plug was that Doggett just couldn't bear the idea of living paralyzed for the rest of his life. It made me so sad to think that was what he was thinking. His life revolves around his work and he wouldn't be able to do that anymore, or carry on a "normal" life. He'd rather be dead.

I loved this episode. Now, I still get to watch all things again!
