I have hanging lanterns in my room! They are pretty.
Finale.
I have to say, the most badass thing ever was Shaz in the wedding dress with the gun. DAMN, GIRL. You have caught yourself a winner, Chris.
OMG CRAZYCAKES I DON'T EVEN KNOW. Look at us all flailing. I'm sure anyone on my flist who watches A2A is also familiar with
ohvienna 's Grand Theory of Everything, and frankly I bow to her close-watching prowess in about everything. So you should go see her posts if you haven't yet.
I think its highly interesting how narcissistic Alex is. I don't mean that in a bitchy way, I love her. Look at her motivations, though- I have to get back. Molly needs me. And now, 1982 is returning her call, and 1982 is Gene saying Get BACK here, Bolls, I need you to keep me out of trouble. I mean, no matter WHAT is going on, she is to some degree in her head, yeah? So in her eyes, her reason for doing things is because she believes people can't exist without her. She even asked Luigi- What do you think happens to the world, when we're not here anymore? Does it just go on? Alex has deep issues about the independent existence of people around her- not even the world of 1982, but in general. If we subscribe to
ohvienna 's theory, then when Alex saw that point where Molly was beyond needing Alex, her mind broke. I think it's also possible that, given the introduction of Peter Drake into the plot and the flatness of Molly's existence which I will discuss next, that perhaps her SuperKrazy entered the picture even earlier than the events in the pilot.
Molly, also, has a very strange existence. She has no voice of her own- she only calls out for her mother to come home. She is displayed as merely a reflection of Alex's wish to come home. She never changes out of her school uniform. And she's associated with Peter Drake's black cat. Now, I'm not a mother and have no idea how mothers really view their children, but I have this strange idea that MY mother, at least, views me as a bit more human than that. Molly is an anchor, a beacon, a motivation to Alex- but is she a person?
What if she isn't?
Why did Peter leave Alex? Was it because he was a selfish little dope-smoking shit that couldn't handle a six-month-old? Or was it because his wife had some sort of deep-rooted narcissistic personality disorder with a side of delusions and she accused him of not being able to handle the baby that she made up?
Like I said. DO NOT EVEN KNOW. (LOL GENE SHOT ALEX AND IS LOSING HIS SHIT. THIS AMUSES ME, GUYS.)
Guess what guys!? I'm totally skipping six thirty ay-em yoga tomorrow! Ain't I brilliant? And then tomorrow night
weathered2dust and I are going to get Indian takeaway and I'll introduce her to A2A and maybe we'll watch Jaane Tu... ya Jaane Na, this super cute Bollywood movie. And I'll play with her hair and makeup until I figure out what I'm going to do wiht it for The Wedding. FUN TIMES YEAH?

YOUR ICON IS MAKING ME HOT. I WANT TO BE IN GENE'S ARMS. BECAUSE I AM SILLEH!

(I am trying to come up with solid reasons of why he is so fantastic. There is more than just that he is blustery and loud and values good scotch. But I'm kind of distracted by those things.)

(WELL THEY ARE SO DISTRACTING AND SHINY! Who could blame you? Okay, here, but I have one: He changes even though he pretends he doesn't, and also sekrit!ly he has honor, which is soooo adorable and exactly what I am looking for in a man. Also sometimes he says "luv" and it's hot. Also sometimes he is really hilariously witty.
Not that I have been giving this any thought, of course.)

Date: 2009-06-16 02:46 pm (UTC)AND OMG NO THAT TOTALLY DOES NOT SOUND ODD BECAUSE I AGREE EXACTLY. I used to not like those kind of people because I am not very confident, but now I see that it is a form of respect. And I am working on being all badass and therefore dealing with those people as an equal. It's a process.
GENE HUNT!!!!!! ♥

:P
I have tried faking it before, but I think I'm bad at it. I always end up coming off too much — arrogant. People always think I am arrogant anyway because I am smart and shy; it TOTALLY DOES NOT OCCUR TO THEM THAT MAYBE I HATE MYSELF. D:

yes that whole paragraph, WORD! For me, it's all about the differences in visions; when Molly is associated with the hospital noises, etc. It's all about how she's waiting for Alex and tralala things are going well and you're going to wake up and it's all stuff that Alex wants to hear, leading to what she thinks is a reunion at the end of s3. Then, this series especially, all these unbidden creepy visions and dreams that surround Molly have all this imagery that is like...whut. That is one dead little girl. I will be surprised at this point if she's not. You never know with this show though, heh!
ZOMG the idea of Molly being completely made up is super fun, but I don't think that will transpire on screen (I think a similar thing about Supertheory, which is why, though I totally love it, I'm still more partial to original Theory for various reasons and because of it's greater likelihood to actually occur, if that makes sense?). Alex has gone through so many horrible moments in life, that it would not be out of the question for me to think that losing Molly would be the final straw that broke her already increasingly broken brain (via her parents' deaths, Pete abandoning her and Molly). And to me the notion that "something went a bit wrong" with Alex's brains (as it says on the back of the book Gene reads) ties in nicely with the fact that Alex studied psychology and the epic deal that just made out of "brains" in that storybook and yeah. Squee.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THAT EVER WAS. LOOKING AT HIS FACE STILL CRACKS ME UP EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. :DDDD

Date: 2009-06-16 02:48 pm (UTC)Yeah, I don't think Molly is totally made up... but there's something wrong with that girl. Yes, dead, possibly... but there's a whole lotta weird Gene/Alex and Alex/Molly parallels that I'm seeing and... what the fuck is UP, show.
D*Con party YESSSSS.
PEEEEE ESSSS I LOVE YOUR ICON.
