ETA: I should warn you, if you're going back to read my reviews, that there are spoilers in the early S2 ones and/or their comments for a handful of episodes. It should all straighten out and be spoiler-free around 2x07/08/09, in that area.
Yay! Keep going at this rate, and you will catch us up! :)
startlingly (for an American series) short hair
Short hair is really that startling on American shows? Huh. I guess Hollywood does like its flowing blonde locks, but I never got the impression short hairstyles were particularly out of the norm. Maybe it's just the shows we export to you. :)
Why isn't she kinder to Broots, then? ;-)
Hee! :)
Why did they want to stop Jarod's heart? They can't have got any interesting data from that.
I have no idea, but the folks at the Centre do have a really, really strange concept of what constitutes a worthwhile experiment. (What I wonder is why on Earth they'd use Jarod, who was easily their most valuable asset, in such a dangerous experiment. I imagine they must have had some reason, but I'm not even going to speculate about what.)
My problem with the A story is a similar one to that of the Christmas ep: why was the killer unnecessarily cruel?I didn't have a problem with that in either case, really. In the Christmas one, it

Yep! Women of all ages have hair at least to their shoulders in US shows. It's incredibly rare to see someone with short hair like Brigitte's. I can't think of anyone else off-hand but Ezri Dax and some Vulcans.
Oh yeah, I remember you saying that about the Christmas killer. This was totally gratuitous though. That graveyard scene was disturbing, and I do worry about how that kid will turn out. I also agree with Jarod about Halloween being extortion. :-P
Lyle seems a bit young for a boogey man. But that Raines thinks so--and used that term--is somewhat worrying.
I thought it was an excellent season!
And you've finished already! I will only catch up when you guys have finished it!

What, you never watched Northern Exposure? (Man, I loved Maggie O'Connell's hair in that.)
That graveyard scene was disturbing, and I do worry about how that kid will turn out.
It was extremely disturbing, and I think it was meant to be. It was the Halloween episode, after all. And it's not too surprising, I think, if Jarod's in a worryingly dark frame of mind after the end of last season.
I will only catch up when you guys have finished it!
Maybe. But it's gonna be a few weeks, probably, before I start S3.
I did see Northern Exposure! Yes, she did have short hair, and so did the woman who ran the store, whose name I've forgotten. Ruth-Anne? Oh and there's an non-speaking extra in some scenes in a show I shall not name to spare your feelings. I probably wouldn't notice her if it wasn't for her short hair, but she stands out.
Greg's off work for 11 days from Thursday, so maybe we'll watch more than usual since he doesn't have to get up early the next day. Though we do still have to catch up on House and Heroes. :-P
