Carefully considerate.

Emotional. Heartfelt. Crushing. Uplifting. The un-appreaicted gem of the season, an incredibly engaging and thought-provoking plot is capitalised upon with hard-hitting acting and the freakish Reapers - the adversaries of the piece. The deletion of a few un-needed scenes and tighter editing are the minimal complaints one can have with this, sensitive chapter which represents coming to terms with loss and death.
