Question: Remember how Greg said he's like a sponge and absorbs information? Do you think that may have been the writers' way of telling us that Greg has an eidetic memory (like Reid on Criminal Minds)?
While I'm not going to say he does indeed have one, I can't think of any evidence to refute the claim. If so, that would be pretty cool. Given how he seems to remember things from many years in the past (including a field trip to a bowling alley) with precise detail, I'd say that it is plausible.
Another thing they seemed to 'plant', other than that creepy remark about enjoying that power, was the look on his face when they took the dog away. One could look at it as, well, Greg loves dogs, but one could also look at it like Greg loves dogs and did not intend to have one of his experiments hurt a dog, only his intended victims.
Oh come on, that remark wasn't creepy at all. He was just commenting on what a lot of people know/what anyone can learn in a first year psychology class, that serial killers often feel a sense of power from doing that kinda stuff.
And the dog thing was just a look like 'ugh what a waste what happened to these people and that dog'.
At least make crazy speculation about Greg being JEkyll based on something more substantial than that.
Greg not being in the eps much and disappearing halfway through is frusturating, but it's nothing new. It's been happening for many seasons (long before Ray and Jekyll). I think it's mostly that the writers are too focused on the Ray character and the Jekyll storyline and end up leaving out some characters. Even Cath and Brass get left out of decent screentime occassionally, so it's not just Greg.
At any rate, not sure I want to watch this episode at all. Maybe someone will put just the Greg scenes and the scene of Nick with the little girl on youtube so I don't have to bother watching the whole episode the majority of which will do nothing but bore me to tears anyway. Not to mention I don't want to see the thing with the dog. I saw the bit where we hear a gunshot and hear the dog yelp. I promptly turned off my tv after that. Was the dog really necessary in the episode? Couldn't they just have one character say the dog was killed without showing the dog dead/killed or hearing it yelp? What is it with show and movie writers lately? At least in the one ep of Criminal Minds they were considerate enough just to only mention that the dog was killed rather than show it or having the audience basically hear the dog die.
