robby’s suicidal ideation is so much scarier this season than last. last season we were inside his head. this season we’re experiencing him like the people around him are—temperamental & selfish & basically given up. he’s pushed the audience away as much as he has anyone else.

i feel like the visual storytelling is really supporting that in a few ways; we're not accompanying robby into private, quiet moments anymore, we don't see his flashbacks and the way they affect how he treats the people around him in their aftermath, we're not seeing him try to stay calm & collected for other people's behalf.

and as robby's behavior likely becomes more erratic and angrier as the day goes on, as he pushes the people that love him further and further away... it's going to be interesting to see if the show frames that kind of breakdown. because it's just as much of a mental health crisis, but it's a significantly less easy one for the audience to sympathize with when the show is keeping us at arm's length.

i think that that's an immensely interesting storytelling decision and i am really, really excited (and terrified) to see how it unfolds.

#been thinkinh abiut why this season feels so different and this is why #and another reason why so many people are switching up on robby

I hardly ever get any time to myself because I do have a somewhat high position in the government, which can be stressful in and of itself, but what makes my job uniquely difficult is that I am in charge of several special agents, but while that also can be difficult, within my supervision are two special agents investigating strange phenomena, and while both are highly intelligent, it seems that their favorite thing to do is putting themselves in extremely dangerous and life-threatening situations that often require my help. Their explanation for what happened often involves the crazy one saying it was something called a fluke man and the one with a Ph.D backing his claim. Whenever they get too close to a top-secret government conspiracy this chainsmoker just appears in my office and says something cryptic about how I must contain them for the greater good and how it’s above my pay grade to know why. The first time I took a day off was to move all my stuff into a new apartment after my wife divorced me, after which I proceeded to get framed for murder. The second time I took a day off was because I had gotten a life-threatening disease that would have killed me in 24 hours.
