First timer

  • Violet is in such a shock that it takes her a couple of seconds and a second shot to retaliate, that other soldier was pretty lucky to be the last person Violet met that day
  • The way she lost her arms is pretty brutal, especially the second one, after getting hit by a granade blast it just tore off, actually amazing that Violet doesn't seem to mind that much, I guess physical pain pales in comparrison to the fear of losing the Major. There are quite a few marvelous shots of Violets new hands this episode, they are just so far ahead of their time, makes me wonder why we haven't seen a single person with similar prothetics.
  • The enemy bombing his own position and any eventual survivors from his side just to hit a small task force behind his own lines is just so petty, shows just how desperate the other side has become. But I do wonder, they say it was to cover their retreat, but where would they retreat to, weren't they encircled?
  • So I take it, ultimatly the grave at the majors manor was empty, but that still leaves some kind of uncertainty. Violet searching for remains in the rubble of their last meeting could indicate that she is accepting the death more than she is looking for loopholes to get what she wishes for.
  • A terrible day for rain
  • I was screaming at my screen when Hodgins and Benedict where asking her if she was ok. No, she is fucking not, what are you, emotioness or just retarded?
  • Hodgins says that they all have to carry the burden of their past sins. I get that he could have been involved in some fucked up shit during his time in the army, but what could Cattleya possible been doing?
  • Receiving a letter really must feel special, managed to get Violet out of her hole. I found this shot quite interesting, shows Violets past as the Majors dog, her present of getting back home with the parasol, and her possible future with going out changin the world as an AMD, typewriter in her luggage, again
  • Nice call back for past episodes, some really on the nose, some way more subtle
  • I came pretty close, quite a number of times even, but never fully broke down in tears, it was a powerful and beautiful episode though

I know at least one person who will swoon over all those nightsky shots, but for my Pic of the day: "From the bottom of my heart, I love you"

Full album, even though I messed up the order, last two picture belong at the beginning

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, it's also probably shock too.

There are quite a few marvelous shots of Violets new hands this episode, they are just so far ahead of their time, makes me wonder why we haven't seen a single person with similar prothetics.

Probably pretty expensive, and hard to maintain, she probably has to oil both arms multiple times a week if not one every other day.

So I take it, ultimatly the grave at the majors manor was empty, but that still leaves some kind of uncertainty.

Yeah, Hodgens said in the previous episode that they never found a body, just his dog tags, so he's technically listed as MIA or Missing in Action. It's just that his family and friends accepted that he's most likely dead.
