Clip of the Day, November 8, 2010

Well, boys, you think you've done great....finally. Suede gets Elmer to give him the sweatband. I like how Suede holds it like it's gross. Yuck. Jason wants to lie for Marty and Luna. He's done that before. "Trust in Goddess is one thing . . ." GAG to the Goddess thing, I couldn't STAND that part of Luna's story. I love Jason though.

Peter the Hate's visit to Todd. Todd's lying in that condition? He has the wherewithal to lie, even when in critical condition. Peter doesn't ask how he is, etc, just WHO DID THIS TO YOU. Wants revenge, just like Todd usually does. Todd has just enough time to say Luna's name before . . .Todd plays very innocent here, Powell knows it's a lie and says, let's guess, NOTHING. Peter tells off the nurse, and they listen and leave the room (lol). Then Peter really lets it out. "They have the nerve to cry date rape as if it were some kind of crime....." He's a piece of work. He vows revenge and leaves the room. You can't help but wonder here if the show's writers had ANY IDEA that Todd was going to eventually be sexually abused, and when they decided it. In these scenes, Peter seems overbearing and cruel, but not quite as bad as all that. I always look for a hint of it, as in the earlier clips where Todd was visibly afraid of Peter. It's not hard to imagine that Peter could have been cruel enough to abuse Todd, but we really don't get wind of it until much later.

Powell tells Todd he knows that he is lying and saw the whole thing. That's a step for Powell. It doesn't lead to much for a while, but Luna does get charged and the story goes on. Amazing how Todd just snaps to manipulation and lies, even when he is under peril.

FAIL: Nick Manzo's decision that Luna did this in an unprovoked manner. It makes little sense, since the rape trial was just held and everyone knows Todd's volatile behavior toward the women. I love it when Bo is in charge, then the scenes really have merit and pack a punch, developing the love-hate thing between Bo and Todd.

Sound off guys! It's snowing on the blog today, because it's snowing here!!!
