Re: Eric & Calleigh #20 -- With Every Fiber... Of Her Pa
I think that may have been the most telling part of the episode, at least to me. Everything with the hands was just so tender, so sweet, but then here, it's just, wow. I knew this was going to be hell for her, and I knew Emily was going to do an extraordinary job in making Calleigh hold it together, because that's what Calleigh always does. She holds it together. Always.
And then here...she doesn't so much. We got so much more than the simply shaken Calleigh I was hoping for! Her face in that pic...wow. I feel that if Eric were just another coworker, or even just a friend, Calleigh would've been able to keep it together enough to concentrate solely and completely on catching the guy. But this is Eric. He's not just a friend; not just a coworker. He's the one person that she knows she can trust with her heart, and almost losing him nearly killed her too. And it really, really just hit her hard.
And I love that she didn't say "his memory's blurred" or whatever. She said "He's different." Which sounds so, so much more personal than just commenting on his memory. Aww. Imagine what it would do to her if he came back to work a completely different person than the one she fell in love with?
God. You know an episode is just so far off the charts that words like brilliant, beautiful, amazing all just feel like huge understatements. There are no words worthy of describing what we got last night. Except maybe SQUEE! :lol:
'He's different' = Heartbreak #2 Could she have been more distraught? I know as his friend she is obvious going to be pretty upset about him having to go through something like that, but there was something about her reaction that seemed more than that, y'know?
