Good read. I'm glad you're keeping up with writing these, they're excellent accompaniment for the episodes. It's thanks to these that I try and watch the show more closely now, though I'm no where near as attentive as you and admire the thought you put into this. The notes from the subtitles and scripts make for interesting added informations; they're fun. I'm a sucker for meta, and it helps that you write it so well.

Please forgive my late reply, and thanks so much for reading! (And liking) :)

I know these are all coming out very sporadically, but I promise they will resume next month after I'm done with a couple of do-or-die exams. I'm glad you find the script/subtitle material interesting -- I only hope someone manages to get scripts for the second season up before I get there. In the meantime, though, the second half of season three has been quite compelling, especially the recent Alicia/Kalinda interactions. It's quite tempting to skip ahead in these write-ups, but I'll do my best to stick to the order of the show.
