Clip of the Day, Jan. 26, 2011

Another clip of The Man! :D I feel really lonely writing about these alone, can someone else chip in? We all must have something to say about Roger!

I swear, I wonder what could match these 90s!



At the start of this scene, with that ominous music, you just get the feeling right off that Todd is really starting to fall for Rebecca. We knew it was coming, and here it is.

"Everybody knows you can't turn back time."

"What about the sickness inside?"

"There's nothing wrong with me, Rebecca"

"You're in agony."

Yep, that about sums it up. Then, Todd opens up, finally, a bit, and the crack in his armor lets some of him pour out. There's a reference to his mother leaving him behind, which in some way, had to have shaped his feelings toward women. I remember starting to understand him when this part of the story arrived. Rebecca suggests he turn himself in, and we all know where that is going to lead. Knowing Todd as we already do, is that something even possible to suggest to him? He would be going back to prison for the rest of his life. Don't think he's going to go for that!

When I watch these, I can't help but feel nostalgic and cheated. All these years without Roger, and the glimmer of hope that he might return is just looming over us. Sigh. Makes me wonder where they will take our boy next, if he graces us with his skills again.

FAIL: None

Sound off!

  1. Todd , our poor sick puppy, Rebeecca feels for him but doesn't really understand him. Even he does not understand everything that drives him, he opens up but not fully and he 's still playing a act. He wants his freedom but he's not ready to give up his revenge. Rebcca doesn't understand him enough to realize at this point he can't turn himself in, he knows what he did to Nora will just make matters worse at prison but he has to keep Rebecca in the dark he needs her. Deep down Todd does need Rebecca and he still hasn't figured out why. He trust that she won't turn him in and that she'll nurse him back to health. He knows that he has her under his spell so to speak, but at the same time the longer he's in her company, little by little she getting under his skin. He likes her but he still using her and he tells himself although some of what she says is true she really doesn't understand how all these people around here feel about him and quite frankly how he himself feels about him. His New Years resolution speaks volumes. " I want everyone to get what they deserve."
