A Tale of Two Black Tapes Part 2

"The Black Tapes is a serialized docudrama about one journalist's search for truth, her enigmatic subject's mysterious past, and the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both."
 The beginning of the episode talks about the ethicality of tricking stand and then off to San Francisco to talk to Robert Torres! Followed by a creepy discussion of a "Tall man" who appeared around Torres that he couldn't see and the Shadow Man  being passed to her son. Light spoilers here but the shadow man is a motif that gets brought up a lot over the season. overall the conversations that happened in with the Torres are amazing, the writing the descriptions everything really brings it back to focus and how much the paranormal activity has affected their life. especially miss Torres... Rodriquez. While I wound't say she is crazy it is apparent she does have neurosis especially when it comes to photographs. A nice element of the Episode is the nuance Alex has in the Episode, In Part 1 Alex took a more Mulder look wanting to believe while in this one she questions things a bit more. A great aspect of Alex personality is that as a journalist she sees both sides of the story. She presents her skepticism but also looks to see what else can be. Another part I loved was the class photos when Alex found even more evidence of Tall Paul.

That's just my musings on the Black Tapes Hopefully I can Get a better grasp on this recap style for Tomorrows The Unsound.
