➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Warm most of the way through. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“Very heavy, heartfelt episode overall though.”
