Just rewatching the H and R moments again from 9.3 and noticed that during the first interrogation of Dr Kirby Harry and Ruth sit quite far apart, but after they have that talk in the corridor, they return to the interview room and sit very close together, in fact Ruth is leaning into Harry's shoulder slightly. It's like they have a definite thaw to their relationship during the second half of this episode.

That's interesting. It is my impression that the initial frostiness between them comes mostly from Harry, as he is trying to cope with only having Ruth through work, and trying to establish some boundaries to their relationship. But of course, he takes things too far because he is hurt and probably thinks Ruth no longer sees him as a good person. But after she tells him in the corridor that letting the guy go was the decent thing to do, he softens his approach to her and allows her in once more.

First off, I am so glad I am not the only one who does things like watching *just* the HR scenes!

Secondly, the reason I think the HR plot line works so well in 9.3 is that it is a little play in and of itself. If you watch just those scenes, it has its own beginning, middle, end, set-up, conflict, resolution, its all there.

Now wouldn't it be great if someone put all the HR moments together in a little movie for us, and put it on youtube...?

Hey guys, this thread has gone over 50 pages, which slows the forum down a bit. So I'm closing this thread and starting another.
