Couldn't wait to read your thoughts on the ep. I am with you on so many points.
Man, I was so zeroing in on the little Holden/Linden things that happened/were said throughout the ep. Like the "1-900-LINDEN" callback(!) + sundry other flirtiness in that scene, how Holder was straight up OFFENDED when Reddick basically called Linden a ho, how Holder's big silly boombox is still in the office they once shared. Their rapport upon meeting again was so easy and ahhhh...comfy like an old, favorite sweater.
On another note, I am pretty torn on the revelation that Linden had an affair with her old partner. My little shippy brain went off on tangents of her falling back into old, home-wrecky behaviors now that Holder has a girlfriend, but at the same time...H&L are just so much more than that, you know? It would be too cheap if it was just brushed off as "something she's done in the past." I know one thing, there will definitely be future tension there between Sarah and Holder's little miss ADA girlfriend. And speaking of little miss ADA - I was pretty much guaranteed to despise any character they put Holder in a relationship with, but forget it. I can't not love Jewel Staite..."cuz she's pretty." Good play, The Killing. I can't NOT give her a chance now.
