I didn't remember that part correctly.<br /><br />>>"But she's staying in Paulie, and she did it for Daniel."<br />Yeah my lack of interest in her subplot is offset by my being touched that she was both ready to leave Paulie when her mother wisely suggested it, but turned back when her mother got cold feet (though we don't know enough aboot her life in Atlanta to know whether that's in her best interests). <br />I did like watching her gorge on fastfood lol.

Are there a lot of ape references in this series, or is it just me?"<br />ACK I FUCKING MISSED IT AGAIN! I swear this has to be a form of autism, continuously missing in-your-face references. C'mon Oni... recognize monke, acquire enrichment. But yeah only the hobo encounter stood out to me. Him chasing after Daniel to get him moving again lol.Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-59194577318698129452022-02-05T22:49:10.290-05:002022-02-05T22:49:10.290-05:00>>"It felt wrong somehow that Daniel wa...>>"It felt wrong somehow that Daniel was rude to them"<br />Not to me it didn't! Whaddya mean, allies? Those dingleberries just want to parade around the "oddballs" aka FREAKS they run into. Fuck them, Daniel felt more bad about it afterwards than he had any need to. I'm glad he belatedly told them off in his Daniel way. Allies, c'mon, they're allies the same way Luna was initially with Harry for his outlandish claims, until of course something genuine grew between them. Deleting the photo was the only halfway decent thing they did, but I'm sure they'll regret it once they've calmed down.<br /><br />>>"Stefon Whitman, Kerwin's brother, was played by Aldis Hodge, who was a cast member on Leverage."<br />That guy is cool, I've only ever seen him in antagonistic roles (Friday Night Lights and unless I'm being racist and confusing him for someone else, Supernatural too) so it was nice to see him play against the type I've seen him as (/in?).<br />That scene with Kerwin's family deeply touches me every time I watch it and I couldn't explain why. As far as these types of scenes go, it ought to be disappointing. There wasn't that much drama in it or depth in the exchange of words. But it's perfect, even long before the "Thank you for uh, well for Kerwin" it's already getting to me. As soon as I see Daniel there on the doorstep looking vulnerable. Every second of it. Errnnge. And I liked that when Stefon thanked him for stopping by, Daniel says he still isn't sure it was a good idea... yeah. Anyway I'm glad they kept it understated. <br /><br />>>"Carl: "... rather than some had just matriculated into your, uh ... general crack area.""<br />Lmao. I remember respecting Teddy for not reporting it because he understood Daniel's point. I really didn't think he would. Never underestimated a character so hard.<br /><br />Peggy rules. This show rules. "Banish expectations and reinstate wonder." That's so goodOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41398332812624991742015-12-29T11:29:31.473-05:002015-12-29T11:29:31.473-05:00My apologies for how long it took for me to return...My apologies for how long it took for me to return to <i>Rectify</i>.
