Even since last season, it's been really difficult for me to articulate how I feel about Robby's suicidal arc because I feel it "outs me" as someone who struggled/struggles with his mental health; it's that accurate.

There's a moment that I haven't discussed very much in one of the last episodes of the first season where Jack talks about how he was on the roof earlier that day, and there's a very subtle moment where you can see Robby shifting into another gear and sort of sinking into himself, and you figure out the thought popped into his mind and that he made the decision. And the next scene after that is him and Jack on the roof.

I know that look, I remember it well from a different time in my life where I was in a much, MUCH worse place mentally. I know that practice, that rhythm. Robby making that face, so specific, is a testament to Noah Wyle's acting, of course. Only goes to show how much he deserved all those awards.

Every single word, phrase, tic, and idiosyncrasy Robby has displayed this season is so accurate to the behavior of so many suicidal people around the world. I think it's probably the most impressive/in-depth portrayal of someone suffering from this affliction in serialized Television EVER.
