Hi. Thanks for adding me. Love this show - which is not perfect but pretty good. "More" questions than answers. If they fire Shaun, they risk a massive EEOC lawsuit. In fact one of the criticisms I have of the show is that it may actually leave some employers with the view that any of the way that Shaun was treated at the beginning of the series is lawful. A person in Jessica's role should know that such blatant discrimination is highly unlawful. So should the large majority of people in the board meeting at the start of the series.
I wonder if the room full of data and theorems will be seen by Dr Andrews at the beginning of Season 2. The juxtaposition between "because you were sad" as a explanation for Dr Glassman's emotional state and "going through the cribriform plate crossing the tentorium on the contralateral side..." is stark. Not just the "good memory" without analysis that is the core of Resnick's lack of respect for Shaun but the ability to synthesize a complex theorem in multiple dimensions. Shaun himself is "more" in that room than he has been showing throughout the season. While of course this will not all be not for naught in hopefully many series to come, the viewer doesn't *know* that. Shore loves those juxtapositions.
Does Shaun need the proximity of an object to trigger his eidetic memories? Does losing the scalpel mean that he will lose access to those memories? "Perhaps I'll come here when you are dead".
Overall I'd say this was a beautifully put together set piece.
