Okay, so here's my proper comment:

Their problem wasn't that they couldn't understand each other. Rather they understood each other's position too well. There was no black and white. Two equally important desires, mutually exclusive. The two of them caught in an unsolvable deadlock spinning towards their breaking point.
I love this sentiment because I think it's so true and I hope the writers give us something like this.

The kid was still trapped between the horrors he had seen and the nagging fear that he hadn't done enough…It wasn't that LJ feared his new friends, he feared for them, waking up screaming from nightmares where he found them bloody and headless.
I like these two lines because I think they accurately depict just how LJ would be coping.

He kept in contact with people inside the US, ambitious journalists, conspiracy nuts and other interested parties, unable to do too much, unable to reveal too much about himself, yet still witness to each new failed attempt to rout out the conspiracy.It's a nice idea that Michael ( ... )

Even they I seem to usually portray LJ as a snotty teen, I was surprised how much I enjoyed writing his recovery. Especially because I don't have high hopes for us seeing much of it on the show.

I think Michael would always want to do something against the company. If I had continued this story it probably would have dealt with Michael not being able to shake the feeling that he should have done more, that he is being disloyal by not doing more. Lincoln has every reason to be understanding. Michael is making a big sacrifice for him.

Thank you for reading.
