This hour (plus?) totally made me believe in this show again after too many should-have-been-better episodes. I shed many tears while watching - Sissy Spacek deserves an Emmy nod for this episode alone.....and its exploration on the terror of dementia (but not in an unnecessarily scenery-chewing way) adds an additional layer to the the idea of being "afraid" during a show (especially since there have been so few genuine scares in this allegedly "scary" show."
But no matter for this one - for a show that still seems to be struggling to determine exactly what it is, the producers/writers/actors combined to create an episode to use all that has occurred to date to create a singular episode that is TV at its best (the episode title? Perfection.) and well done to all concerned....and, oh, will I miss the wonderful Scott Glenn as Alan Pangborn.
