I agree, the part with Ben-as-little-Ted was absolutely phenomenal acting on CKR's part.
I think that it wasn't actually Adam on the pedophile's tape - I think that was Ben projecting. Mainly because Terry especially didn't seem to recognize Adam.
As for the nice lady, it didn't push my suspension of disbelief at all. Remember that when she'd kept Ted, she kept called around to see if anyone was missing a little boy, and no one was.
As much as I love Amy, the subplot with her and what's-his-face just annoyed and pissed me off. I was actually sure he'd put roofies in the wine and was gonna rape her.../o\
I'm just mostly sad that the show got canceled.

What? When? Where? How did I miss that?
And good point about Terry not recognizing Adam, but then it's odd no would say so... But Ben projecting makes the most sense, good call!

True, but then she knows Adam is Ted's son. She actually knows Ted is Ben as well since she saw the news. It does work for me, but not the smoothest of explanations.

That wouldn't have surprised me after the creepy way he acted towards her in this ep. Abuser all over.

- CKR crying makes me... wipe furiously at my eyes as I get something stuck in them. Ahm.
CKR crying is absolutely soul-shredding!
- Terry's freaky moustache/beard combo - almost as bad as young!Dexter's wig of doom if you're familiar with that one. WHY?
XD Dude, that was unbelievably bad. What did they do, cut off some pubic hair and glued it into his face?
- "I don't remember what it's like to be a kid. What it means." all CKR alone in a mirror. Wow.
- CKR as Ted - he was incredible at bringing the childish qualities alive - the movements, the looks, his voice and his little "I am scared..."
- the final scene - wow!
YES. And in the final scene, when he stars crying as he asks where Adam learned to paint...what a great, great actor.
-okay, was Adam on the sick bastard's USB stick? That makes no sense. The other explanation, that Ben wouldn't recognize his own son, also makes no sense, so - WTF? HELP ME!!!!!! I compared pics and it looks like Adam in the film ( ... )

Oh yes... the end scene was like "Flower and Garnet" and that one never fails to get me either. *sniffle*

BWahahahaaaa! How could anyone think it was anything but ridiculous. No wonder he got divorced three times, heh.
It also reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sx2Am0DDs&feature=related
About a min in ;)
as he asks where Adam learned to paint...
Loved that bit. Like his dad. And he was painting a horse!
I got the vibes during the flashback with wee!Ben and a close-up on his stepfather's fingers.Yes! That bit made me go ick and oh no at the same time. Since the abuse was repressed til now, who knows what else might be lurking in Ben's mind. *sniffle ( ... )

Someone on IMDB board mentioned that for a moment Ben thought that even the boy from the playground was his son. It shows that he already was in such fragile state of mind (one step from breaking down) that he was seeing Adam in every boy in that kind of danger.
PS your new Shattered banner is brilliant :)

That I got. It's just that the image on the USB stick does look like Adam. But then a similar looking kid would set him off.
And thank you ;)
