Clip of the Day, Dec. 15, 2010



Uh, ok...Todd talks a guard into letting him harass NORA. LOL.

The sound in this scene is terrible. When they FILMED it, they made the person on the other side of the glass lose sound depth and it's ANNOYING!!! How strange! It's hard to hear some of what Nora says. I can't believe that Powell is now her confidant and helper. Sigh. He gets her to talk and then.....whammo!

My God, Roger.....he's so amazing. Watching this scene, he just goes totally off the deep-end, Peteish yelling and his vile rottenness showing. In all seriousness, he's not totally wrong about Nora's role in his fate, but it's not her FAULT, it's his own for doing the terrible deed. But, he transfers all of his guilt and his pain to her! HBS plays the terrorized woman quite well here also. But Roger's performance is stellar as always. She finally loses it as he gets dragged off. Powell stands there like a goober.

Next scene, why is Powell in the kitchen again? I thought he got library duty!? the conversation between them is starting to show that rivalry growing. Powell does have the last line in this one, and it's done well. Todd's sickness is growing, and soon, he will be "out and about." LOL.

REBECCA! She's HERE! So happy to see her because the story takes a big change when she comes on the scene...and I love it! Finally, Todd starts to become even more complicated.

FAIL: Powell's Preppy hair, how does it stay perfectly coiffed in jail? Love Todd's wild unkempt look, makes more sense, except I thought they CUT your hair? Maybe not, never been there so I can't say for sure. Also, that dumb guard leaving Todd unattended on a prisoner's word? How stupid is that? Of course, he'd never be able to interact with Nora without the stupidity.

  1. AT this point in time Todd can only live for revenge. In his world all Todd sees is that he is on his own. For him surviving is key and that means taking down everyone who put Todd where he is. To "Pete" you must strike first or you'll be swallowed up . Todd feels the need to strike first before the weight of everything around him brings him down.In his mind the ones that brought about this chapter in his life are Nora Marty and Powell so naturally all of his anger is directed at them the seed of revenge is growing bigger for every day Todd finds himself in his own particular hell. "Pete" is totally in charge. We see Rebecca for the first time little do we realize at this time how important She's going to become for Todd and Powell but from the get go we can tell Rebecca is purity untarnished and heaven help when she goes into the Devil's (Todd's) den

  2. @Rkarena, Actually, heaven help TODD when she goes into his den, because even though Rebecca endures a lot, Todd CHANGES because of her, and she does actually save him, whether she realizes it or not...it happens over time. I love this story SO MUCH!
