Ok, back to business as usual. After our fiasco on OLTL yesterday, I can only say I am happy to have these videos, even if that is all we've got! Thank GOD! And there are tons of them that I have not seen, that I am going to be fortunate to watch unravel as time goes on. Thanks to . . . The Goddess Juju. (Geesh I sound like Luna.)
So! The worst part about being in prison, Powell dear, was seeing Todd? Must be quite the country club then. Powell just goes and scares the HECK out of Marty!
Rebecca: Your eyes, like you're somebody else!
Todd. What a complex and wonderful and vile and scary and complex and romantic and weird and vindictive and funny and sensitive and tortured character. Wow, does that cover it? I know, some of you are out there saying "sexy." Yes yes, he is. How can we ignore that??
Todd: You brought me hope. That is exactly what Rebecca brought, and exactly what her role was. I was sorry, at the time, to see Rebecca leave without exploring their "relationship" as a couple, but in reality, it never would have worked out, because she was SO DIFFERENT from him. He needed someone a little dangerous and a lot conniving to match his schemes (no names mentioned). But she served a very big purpose and served it quite well.
FAIL: Powell, who cares. Especially when he goes around scaring Marty with how scared he is.
Sound off! Hopefully, a meatier clip or two over the weekend and The Goddess will find time to grace us with more Todd and Tea from 1997 and 1998.
There's not much to say about Powell and Marty I haven't already said...That Marty stayed and talked to Powell was amazing in and of itself, but eerily if showed us just how deep into Todd's psyche Powell was...He did know Todd probably more than he realized and that knowledge was going to eat at him and find a way inside him because Powell was already consumed with guilt.
ReplyDeleteTodd, now that he's better, is starting to manipulate Rebecca and a driving factor right now is money. While Rebecca is fighting her sorrow at what Angela did to her and their believers; Todd is seeing the opportunity for a chance to get ahold of some Money. Todd loses sight of the fact that he needs Rebecca when he's blinded by the idea of getting some Money; and of course in that state, Todd reacts instictively and reverts to (Pete) mode as he grabs Rebecca and scares her. Of course he quickly realizes the mistake and then he's in his contrite mode trying to find a way to convince Rebecca That Prison is why he reacted the way he reacted.
Poor Rebecca will she once again fall for his stories. Unfortunately she's already under his spell and when Todd tells her she brought him hope we know she'll give in and help...it's amazing that Todd doesn't yet understand just how deeply Rebecca is already affecting him but of course right now the blinders are on and Todd has Tunnel vision. Revenge is Todd's only motivator right now.
