davidmarx2000 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 So, just watched this episode again in honor of the show and the holiday, and what I found deeply significant was the parallel between Catherine's regretful accusation that Frank was letting his gift and the group pull him away from his family, and Frank's father talking about how Frank's mother's gift tore the family apart. At that point, I think Frank begins to empathize with his father, and that results in their reconcilation ("Why did it take so long?"). That is excellent writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I totaly agree, "excellent writing," and one of everyone's favorite episodes. When it comes to family, it always seems to take a long time to reconcile. As always, the people you love the most, hurt you the deepest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elders (Admins) The Old Man Posted December 29, 2012 Elders (Admins) Share Posted December 29, 2012 It would have been pretty horrible if Frank saw the Fetch of Catherine that night at the church. Even worse if Catherine had seen it, I guess you could call it the ultimate spoiler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmarx2000 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, major spoiler. Something tells me the writers of both episodes weren't on the same page, so to speak, in terms of Catherine's death anyway. This is who we are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkabout Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 not ready to see this episode at this time , hopefully next year. I still have trouble with some of the ' Criminal Minds ' eps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmarx2000 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Why are you not ready? Just no urge or does something bother you about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Why are you not ready? Just no urge or does something bother you about it? I'm sure it has to do with Walkabout's nephew being killed in Aurora and not wanting to watch anything violent. Bless her heart, I know she's in a lot of pain from the loss. Speaking from experience since I lost my oldest son in 08. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seesthru Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I can understand not being ready to see this episode. It's probably one that sets off the sorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seesthru Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) This is the song from Midnight of the century that kept playing. Danse Arabe, composed by Tchaikovsky. Part of the nutcracker suite. I haven't listened to the whole song before. Don't think I've ever listened to the whole suite. Edited December 24, 2015 by seesthru posted Beethoven by accident.
