I thought this episode had much more gravitas than usual, and it really cut me to the core. Particularly Allison's dream!grief, and the murder of that police officer. I couldn't stop thinking about how horrible it was. Especially since it seemed obvious that the poor man probably wasn't 100% dead while he was being cut up. *shudder* And his poor family! I admit it, I teared up.
Same here and I think I was rubbing my wrists a good two minutes after Allison had that vision of him being Tortured. The blood and his screaming was enough to make me cringe.
I too was worried Devalos wouldn't listen to Allison either because she was breaking down right then and there after she had the vision of where Castillo was. Thank Goodness he went in the other direction.
Also, though, it bothers me that it seems we are meant to believe her dreams stem from the fact that she has a brain tumor. Allison's dreams are supposed to be a gift, and one she's had since she was little, as do her daughters. It doesn't work that way. I want to see how they explain Allison losing her 'sight' if they decide to go that route. Maybe they'll go with something like 'the tumor messed with suchandsuch receptor blahblahblah.' It still bothers me though. I think Allison's gift needs to be the constant. Let other things around her change, but not that.
THIS! I had a problem with that as well. How could a gift that is obviously, not in the physical sense, something that's attatched to the brain, be taken from you when its given to you by a "Higher Power" and therefore, not corporeal? I mean, eventually I chalked up her lack of vision/dreaming in the future to The Powers That Be wanting to give her time to recuperate from her situation, but still, to go as far as implying that getting the surgery that would rid her of the tumor, would also rid her of as visions/dreams as well, is kinda far-fetched. At least in terms of the show. Anyway, I hope they don't alter her gift in any way (radical or minor), or even take it from her. That would really be hurting one of the many crucial elements of the show.
