Episode 9 Discussion [rewatch]

[JHyde]

I honestly think if it hadn't have been for 3.9 and 3.10 RPJ might not have signed on for another season. In two separate interviews he said that he was prepared to come back because 'towards the end of season 3 we got to see who Adam really is, what make him tick. Prior to that....' I might have paraphrased slightly but I remember a profile piece he did with Australian press round about the time season 4 started. He says a lesser version of this in the season 4 extras. (I've spent the last six months trying to find this damn article!)

Certainly I think this was the tipping point for the character, where we really became invested in him.
