what happens
Lucienne comes to Morpheus with disturbing news. Rose Walker goes in search of family. Admirers of the Corinthian's work scheme to get his attention.

Left to right is this episode — its opening to its closing minutes. This is the one span the comments were always describing.

how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Read from 35 comments — 14 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 14 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

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.
“I had thoroughly enjoyed the show until this episode. And then all of a sudden, the show centers around Rose and Lyta who are by far the weakest actors on the show. It was incredibly jarring after 6 episodes of people like Tom Sturridge and David Thewlis, or the episode "24/7" in the diner which is full of one-off characters who are all acting their asses off. Watching Rose try to exchange lines with Morpheus and Gault was incredible, it's an absolute mystery to me how this person won this role.”

“I'm 10 minutes into the episode, and the dialog is all clunky, stilted, and unnatural. Very tell-don't-show, with lines meant clearly for the audience's benefit rather than the characters.”
