How does Bobby show he is is worried, troubled, upset, etc? From "A Person of Interest" From "In the Wee Small Hours" while Eames reads her letter on the stand. In "Frame" when he sees Frank's body. In "Lady's Man" when he realizes Kevin planted the letter that Alex found. In "Folie A Deux" Bobby worries when Alex follows George's partner down the stairs into the subway. Alex worries too! From "Untethered" when she hasn't heard from Bobby for a long time. (I must admit I did not make this observation on my own- it was pointed out by a LOCI friend)

You notice Bobby does that a lot in "Endgame" during his interviews with MFB. Can't blame him, MFB was creepy!

Skittles, what is that last image from? The woman's hands? And by "skank" do you mean Nicole? If so, may I say I REALLY like you, lol? Great tell, btw. He also does that rub eyes thing when he's upset about something.

Nice pics Skittles.
Your last picture of the hands-over-mouth Eames, made me think of mirroring gestures - the unconscious copying of each other’s behaviour. As you will know, this is supposed to denote that two people are really in tune/attracted to one another. I don’t know if any of your friends have already covered this particular aspect(s) of Eames and Goren’s body language gestures but it would be interesting if there are many examples of this non-verbal communication - when you have the time!
If you find an example of Eames emulating Goren’s “cowboy” stance, then you would make me laugh again (in the nicest possible way)!

Kacesq, the hands are Goren's. It is from a deleted scene in "Untethered" when Bobby and Frank are in a restaurant and Frank gives Bobby their mom's engagement ring as a gesture of goodwill and thanks for helping Donny.
Yes, it's Nicole, but I don't remember which episode.
He does rub his eyes sometimes, and Eames does a chin scratching thing. ("ITWSH" in the hallway with Bobby, "Siren Call" after Ray shoots himself)
Jeffan! I'm actually putting a "parallels" album together! I'll post soon. What "Cowboy" stance?

Some examples Skittles -
standing at full height (specifically in the corner, back to the wall of the interrogation room so no-one can bush-wack him from behind),
legs spread (taking up more space and typical cowboy’s stance ready for the draw),
straddling a chair (speaks for itself),
head tilt/body bend (unnerve the baddie in preparation for the “kill”),
swaggering/strutting (speaks for itself).
These are all stereotypical “cowboy” postures easily recognisable in westerns and, hence, The Cowboy Stance is the term used in body language jargon.
Apparently they are also techniques used in television shows to give the central character (male) additional prominence and which female viewers more readily pick up on rather than men!
Against type, sometimes he does seem to carry his folder as a comfort (front of body) even though he carries a gun. There again, he has used the folder as a missile.
These are just a few examples off the top-of-my head and you’ll probably identify more - but you get my drift pardner!

Bobby also frequently rubs his neck when he is upset, or embarrassed. In this scene from Magnificat, they are just coming from talking with Adam, the child that survived the explosion. Both are clearly distressed here. (I think Alex might have "mirrored" Bobby in that scene, too - rubbing her neck - but I have to go back and watch again to see if I am remembering it right.)

May be she will react that way if she realizes that Goren is troubled by the transference to his psychiatrist... (Just one or two minutes of drama of course! this show is not about Goren personal life... just enough to get us thinking what is going on in Goren's head).

Looks to me like he's about ready to sneeze and needs a tissue.
