I haven't seen any of the specials, actually. I'm around Episode 5 of Season 4, so I have no idea if I'm missing anything.
I feel like I should be catching some of these big reveals like Jack, but the immediate story has me so wrapped up and involved that every time one of these things happens, it throws me for a loop. I don't give myself time to think between episodes, so I have a hard time thinking of possibilities.
Right now though, I'm thinking ONLY about why the **** Rose was there at all for Partners in Crime.
The only reason I'm watching it is because a friend annoyed me to the point of agreeing to it. I have no regrets now. This show is ****ing amazing.
