I may be wrong, and I haven't checked my DVD yet, but I was under the impression it was "Clear Conscience"? However, like I said, I could be remembering wrong.
The comment about men acting feminine to impress, instead of our social norms of masculinity being impressive, is interesting. I honestly hadn't noticed this - there's a lot of throwing oneself into danger to save someone else, which could arguably be masculine or feminine. I'll have to keep this in mind the next time I watch it!
He also gives her a coat, which in addition to hiding her tattoo, ties her outfit together quite nicely. I adore that coat! I wouldn't have thought that baby blue, raspberry and violet would go together so well ... but it does!
In my interpretation, the men and women the King and Queen talk to are like their members of court: important but subordinate. Which leads one to question: why are the other suits subordinate to Hearts? Just because the Hearts won? Do the other suits not have the power the hearts do? Confusing in cannon, but ripe fanfiction material, which is something I love about this miniseries. :)
Walrus looks like every man who has ever hit fifty in Maine ever. I laughed so hard at this. I've never been to Maine, but the picture is so perfect I'll take your word for it!
Right before you write Dodo is Tim Curry, the preceding passage is a bit confusing. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say - I think a word or two got deleted?
where she then beats up Tim Curry in revenge for all those times he scared the shit out of her during her childhood. Once again, hilarious. I'm assuming you saw (and were scarred by) Stephen King's It, too?
Dodo lets out the best "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" since the empire struck back. SOMEBODY SHOULD SO MACRO THIS. Or dual-layer it in a video for maximum cheese.
March says that the shadows aren’t right, which is a turn of phrase never explained, but must mean something important because it leads him to the conclusion that they had help. Wow, I have to re-watch this scene, I didn't remember him mentioning that. But that is curious ...
Charlie then moans, says his magic words “GALADOON DE BOOSHE” and then gives a set of complex and specific directions before taking off. This part never fails to make me laugh. Matt Frewer was fabulously cast in this.
and proves this by giving Ten the traditional greeting of a punch to the face. There is an insane amount of Face-Punching in this miniseries!
There is good news, however; she could save 10% or more on flamingo insurance by switching to Geico LOVE THIS.
Enter Jack Heart, Prince of the Cockblock. And wielding a phallic symbol sword, too. I love how his Epic Ability to Cockblock is such a huge fandom trope. Nine times out of ten, if Jack's in a fic, there's a cockblock joke somewhere.
I completely agree with your assumptions about Jack. He comes off as extremely awkward and socially repressed, and obviously that's not going to mesh well with Alice and how forward she (usually) is. Not that these things make him a bad guy, necessarily, but just not the right guy for Alice anymore. I think if he would have been able to voice these things her choice would have been a lot harder. For me, this is the point where the relationship begins to turn, but it seems irrevocably romantically broken when she and him are talking to Catterpillar right before she sees her father. The look she gives him speaks volumes. (Oh man. I just read that over and, Holy Avalanche of Adverbs, Batman! -_-;)
they find him when he’s smoking a hookah while floating on a row boat in the middle of a pool, like you do, A+!
