I am also in love with this show. I have so many questions about how these very smart people became so incredibly socially disfunctional.
I mean, okay, we know Happy was abandoned at two, and sure, that'll leave scars, and deeper ones for her for having a photographic memory, but still, what happened in the 25-odd intervening years that kept her from getting over that at least a little?
And poor Sylvester. The most telling conversation ever was:
Toby: Who ruined you? Sylvester: My father.
And the look on Toby's face, like, "Yeah, that's a few years on my couch, but OMG we cannot be diving into that right now!"
And exactly what IS Toby? We know he's a behaviorist. I hope like hell he's not actually certified in any kind of clinical psychology, because he's a mess with people. And at one point he says he's a doctor and has seen all kinds of behinds, yet Paige does all the first aid.
Also, now that they know what's really going on with Ralph, why don't they find him an accelerated school program? They're in LA. They have to have some kind of magnet schools there. He'll probably still be above and beyond whatever they're doing, but at least he won't be so ostracized.
SO MANY QUESTIONS!
But yes, awesome show. :) And it's on CBS so it has a chance of surviving. (Unlike Forever, which is on ABC, and anything I like on any channel other than CBS dies a horrible death half a season in.)
