My thoughts on Numb3rs

[luciazephyr]

So, Larry rocks harder than usually. Love the cool green shirt with the dragon on it. Looked really nice. And Charlie calling him "Dr. Fleinhardt" made me happy for some reason... He gives the best advice, especially when he's trying to cure his boredom. And when Amita mentioned that the people at work know you best, am I the only one who instantly thought of Larry? I hope not.

Also, I want to hear someone, preferably Charlie, call him "Lawrence" again. I really adore that name. It's... just really nice.

Anyway. Plot. Good. Okay, the FBI plot was pants, though Megan and Colby made it fun. I like disliking Colby. And I love Megan a little bit. She's very awesome and easily the coolest of the team members. But, still, lameish plot. I expected something special about it: season finale- hello? But besides the method of attack (using the drug shots), this guy was like any other week, if a bit more insane.

Now, to the point of the episode. Charlie.

Dear TPTB,

Oh, screw you. You lead me to believe the episode was about everyone in danger. You lied. You told me Alan got shot. Lies. But mostly, you lead me to believe Charlie was hallucinating. YOU LIAR! I hate you and the way you drop beautiful opportunities to join up with Operation Mindfuck and really mess with your characters and your viewers. Just wait 'til I finish my conspiracy fic. I will PWN YOU!

Hugs and kisses,
Lucy.

Now that I got that out of the way... I kinda liked the sideplot with Margaret, who was a lovely woman, if a bit too lovely for my liking. And I believe Charlie's having to realize what he wanted to ask. He wanted to know for years, I bet, but it's one of those really obvious things that didn't come up when you finally needed it. And it was a good question, a valid one. I cannot decided if she was telling the truth or not, that she didn't regret it. Someone with children? Tell me? Is it believable, or was she lying?

Despite Larry and despite Margaret, despite Megan's coolness, my favorite moment was Alan talking to Margaret and that stunning line: "Then you shouldn't have died." Oh, man. *applaudes* Beautiful, mate. Beautiful.

And my least favorite was Don getting the needle in the neck. Oh hell, no. That don't fly with me, man. I hate the idea of my neck being in danger and I twitched very hard when that happened. And the five hundred times before when it showed during the trailer. Gah! *holds back of neck protectively*

Also good: my interpretation of the ending. Alan and Charlie jumping in to help because of what Margaret said to each of them. That's why I think they wanted to help. And it's sweet, with them rushing to Don's aid and Don all "dude, did I miss something?" If the TPTB didn't intend that interpretation.... I don't care. Mine's better and cuter and stuff.

So... good show. Not good enough for a Season Finale, yo! I'm supposed to live off that for the entire hiatus?! *sticks tongue out at TPTB* Nyah.
