Okay, re: that EGREGIOUS MISREADING of Mrs F., I am getting so pissed off at fandom's total television illiteracy. Anyone who didn't notice CCH Pounder giving arguably her most sensitive performance yet, just barely betraying the extreme emotion that we've never been witness to in her character, JUST CANNOT READ and I don't want them in my fanspace. Augh.
While I do feel like I'm being emotionally manipulated at the expense of plot and careful writing, I did think the whole cast really brought it in this episode – Pete's little-boy reaction to Leena's death just killed me, and you're dead right about the scene on the stairs, and CLAUD, ohhh, Claud, so brave and devastated. And Saul Rubinek is such a fucking genius – remember him as the documentarian in SG-1's "Heroes"? That's what made me start watching W13, actually – he took a role that, as written, was trite and two-dimensional, and just fulfilled it (that speech to Daniel about the ethics of war photography! holy crap!). And I thought, okay, I'll watch any show in which this guy's a principal – and boy did that pay off. ARRRRTIIIIIEEEEE.
... This has been an incoherent feelscomment. As you were.
