Maybe the episode I liked best until now. Because of its perfect construction, compared to the previous ones - not a fault. And the building up of characters. Super's definitely a jerk. Doc's an alcoholic. Managing AA meetings :D Don't get why he'd invite Ben to one though - that doesn't seem to be one of his problems? Was Terry referring to an AA meeting too?
The taking of notes made me think of Memento. Not a bad reference!
And I think they definitely cut off the episode/part of the episode with Harry and Naomi shown in the wtf recap from last week. /o\
I'm not sold on the abused child theory. Ben's got enough on his plate to have gotten into DID without that. Maybe there's an abused child somewhere in his shattered psyche, but more like it's his son, whom he's relating to?
The eps do seem to gel better and better. I wonder if the editor for the pilot was drunk while doing that one.

That was odd. I think Doc only overhear Terry saying "meeting" (meaning the one with Ella) and Doc assumed it was that kind of meeting. And no, alcoholism isn't one of Ben's probs...
but more like it's his son, whom he's relating to?
Hmm, I don't know if it's "just" about his son, I think it started earlier. Whatever happened to his son triggered it again, though. Do we have any sort of timeline WHEN his son was abducted?

Yep. DID starts in childhood and is caused by trauma too huge to deal with. Large number of DID patients reports child abuse so it is very likely that Ben was abused. But well, we'll see.
Bathroom scenes FTW! (who would have thought I'd ever say THAT ;)
Having missed the shirt before, I wonder what other little clues there have been. Good reason to re-watch, heh. And really keep an eye out for what Ben's got in his trailer...
One question - where does Ivan for Leoben!Ben come from? Just seen it a couple times now.
And yep, Amy and Hall is definitely being built up. And I rather like it. Just hope he doesn't have some dark secret as well, but maybe they are also going for Nick turnin into a full time stalker once Amy and Hall get together?

I still think our biggest clues are his child alter and his convo with Simone in this ep about remembering vs forgetting.

I so hope we get to see ALL eps and not just the ten that were mentioned somewhere.

I noticed the t-shirt on the kid too, but also missed it first time around. I love all these little details that keep emerging! :D

Ella called him like that, just before she slapped him.
