One of the main regular features of the show is how the narration starts by being about some element of medical/surgical practice which can be applied as an analogy (or metaphor) to what's happening to the main characters in that episode. In the last couple of episodes the way they handled this has seemed a bit awkward/abrupt. For a regular viewer of 10 years I was suddenly becoming a bit too aware of this device that they are using (when I shouldn't even be noticing it anymore).
I am specifically referring to the lady who fell trying to remove the razor-wire from her wall//mostly a parallel to Amelia's being "locked in" and Owen's worry about her, and then to a couple of literal parallels namely Jane Doe whose parents had thought her long dead (a parallel to Riggs's story) and violent father who is back into the mother and son's lives (reminding Jo of her fleeing from her violent husband).
Did anyone else feel this or am I having one of those moments of being overly conscious of how things normally work (like when you suddenly become self-conscious of your breathing and walking down the stairs)

I think they were obvious way back at the season four finale "Freedom." It was well done. I loved that episode. But so obvious.
