More behind the scenes from Galileo rehearsals.

I  love all Rafael Barbas from clean-shaven to bearded, but my heart truly lives with “slightly scruffy” Barba from “Devil’s Dissections” and “Criminal Pathology”.  That somewhat unexplained unshaven look - after the death of a prosecution witness, seemingly at the hands of the County ME who is now missing, it makes sense that he might have skipped the time to shave, and just hauled ass to the precinct, but even before that happened, he was sporting the scruff after appearing clean shaven earlier in the episode.

Whatever the reason, I thank Raul Esparza, and God, for the joy, nay delight, that stubbly Rafa gives me

Writing is so much fun! You can be like "I should process this" and just go nuh-huh, see, I'm going to make up a guy and have them process it for me. Not me! It's the guy I made!

I love that gerard's attempt to find elody failed. yes he (and rosamund) might as well just gone with the others from the get go and they achieved nothing by splitting up. but it still mattered. it mattered because gerard knew it would almost certainly be futile but he still TRIED. there was something important to him, and the route to it was difficult, and he chose to do it anyway. he didn't take the easy or even the sensible way out.

and so it's important that he failed, because if they managed to find elody, this wouldn't be the poignant character moment that it is. it would feel like gerard's gamble had paid off, that he was clever, that he was right. instead he fails, and what we get is a man (frog) who has grown to understand that some things are worth fighting for, even if in the end you don't succeed. even if you know from the start you won't succeed.

because I don't think gerard, for a single second, regrets trying to look for elody. but he had to fail, in order for him (and us) to see: no matter the outcome, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much it's the wrong thing to do, he will always. ALWAYS. try to find his way back to elody. because some things, and some people, are worth trying for.

He never fails to make me smile. Raúl is a bright light who sparkles and shines like a beautiful diamond. He and everyone who made this production possible deserve gratitude for what they do. I pray for their successes in all that they do, bringing joy! I love seeing Raúl wear his crucifix. God makes no mistakes, only miracles. :) 🫶🏽
