Fantastic But...

This episode is fantastic but it's difficult to watch just because of the subject matter. The acting has so far been top notch. Especially Jeremy Renner and the woman who plays his sister-in-law.

Too heavy

Warning: Spoilers
There is the world of ordinary and extreme and there was nothing simple or ordinary in this episode. Some people know nothing else other than that world. From a perspective of any parent this episode is the worst possible torture that goes trough your whole being while the episode feels like neverending so doesn't matter the quality you can't wait that it ends. This justice doesn't feel as proper justice.. it's vengeance and if you try to look at it from just one out-of-the-box perspective and that is a perspective of a deceased child soul watching fierce violence taking the life out of his father. You can imagine that child soul crying in shock by witnessesing what is happening while disregarding what has happened to him before that. You can imagine love so powerful it's forgiving because that soul is the only one capable to give that forgiveness. Children that age are so pure their love for their parents, their heros is endless and nothing but purity. The pregnancy scene was out of the world powerful and combined with the last scene where no one came to the funeral showing the endless circle of life and death and how pure goodness and evil coexist next to each other and they don't pick the right moment. Also no show child funeral let's you think how that soul had no chance in this world and being escorted completely alone in silence makes you question who was the justice for? One of the most powerful episodes altogether and came as such a surprise though the first scene actually anounced it I couldn't and will never be ready for this kind of thing.
