I swear it'll really take me a while to come up with all that stuff and maybe we should bump the season one general discussion thread as well. We need to do the same with season one

And it'll take me a while until I'm able to start writing even. The next weekends are really booked out.

Like Amy said, there is no rush at all. I like your idea to also do this for the S1 general discussion thread! Good luck on the writing!

I love your lists too Amy and Kris. Great idea to write it down like that.

Oh well I probably have left out a lot too but these things really stood out to me.

It's been an amazing idea to write these down because it gives us a lot of stuff to discuss about!

Isn't it crazy that they built up the Cooper storyline from the pilot just for us to realize that he was never sick It's still what fascinates me the most.

Oh, and Liz shooting Connolly was the most shocking for me.

Yeah I didn't expect her to shoot either. I thought she would do the right thing and let him live.

I wonder if we'll ever get an explanation for why she choose to shoot him.

That is what I thought too Amy. When Cooper started to talk in on her I really thought she was going to lower her weapon and not shoot him but she did. That was the most shocking thing in the finale for me.

I never ever thought about the fact that Cooper wasn't really sick. It never crossed my mind that the Cabal would have anything do to with it but I am so happy that Cooper is not sick! That was the biggest relief of the finale for me.

Me too Miranda! I was so glad to find out that it was all a lie. But it's kind of scary though that the Cabal has such a far reaching hand that they could pull this off and really make Cooper think he had cancer

It is scary that things like this can happen. Especially cause Cooper really had symptoms an what about the seizure that he got while Liz was with him? That certainly wasn't fake.

You know why that is? Because at the season premiere the Cabal wasn't even a topic in the show and therefore I never considered something starting so early being connected with an organization we did get to know a lot later.

It was the pills that caused the symptoms. That's what the doc told Cooper Really crazy what length they went through to make him believe he'd die to then fake-save him.

I think The Cabal really used the fact that Cooper was attacked in S1 and very vunerable at that time to plot against him and make him think he was sick and dying. The Cabal really goes to great lenghts to get what they want.

I never expected the Cabal to be after this. Like you said Kris, they weren't even in the picture at the beginning of S2.
