Another snowy day, going to school late and expecting a storm during assessment week - not so great. Anyway, here's the clip of the day.
OMG. After watching Paul non-stop, seeing this just melts my heart, makes me smile, and just says, wow. First off, how gorgeous can he get as he's trying so hard to be ugly? Second, he's into his manipulative best, doing the faces away from her so we can see and she can't.
"I'm afraid of the anger inside of you."
"Sometimes I'm afraid. Help me, Rebecca."
Who could say no to that? I think this is where we really start to see some of the workings of the tortured Todd that we love. This whole "On the Run" story is an easy one to peg as the opening of some wounds in him.
OMG that hand kiss. Wow. I forgot that, see what watching a 7th time can do??? LOL. Gorgeous.
"There is a kindness inside of him, he's afraid of it." Wow Rebecca, you had him PEGGED.
I do have some confusion here, and that is why he decides to spend the cash on a gun. He was thinking of running away, then he needed the cash for that....and then this gun idea comes up. It conjures quite a few thoughts.
The last scene, the NYE Party, made me so nostalgic I almost teared up. Of course, that's not saying much from this sap, but seeing all of those outstanding characters and actors really made my heart sing. At the same time that everyone is starting anew, Todd is getting a gun from someone. I used to LOVE how the show created those paradoxes.
FAIL: None
Sound off. You know you want to, and it's lonely at the top.
In these scenes, Todd shows some uncharacteristic bravery that isn't congruent with the coward he started out as...at one point he all but tells Rebecca that he loves her even though he would absolutely crumble if she rejected him. That had to have been REALLY difficult for him...you can see it in his delivery. This is the same guy who was terrified when Marty asked him to spend the night with her. Todd never liked dealing with "feelings."
