re: Haha, "really true" is a loose definition when it comes to Hal.
Pfft. Hal's always been a very consistent, easy to understand, and well thought out character. ;) (I think by "really true" I more meant "immediately reminded me of his discussion in 4x08 with Snow". It also reminded me of some s5-based discussions I'd had with people as to whether Hal's suicidal during s5 (I say no))

re: Buhahahaha, oh, come on, Alan had noooo chance.
haha, maybe you were determined to turn Alan around and make him eventually likeable or something! Maybe you guys wrote this while drunk! You never know ;)

re: road trip comment from AO3
I am always a sucker for a road trip, so you won't hear any complaints about impending travel from me!

re: thequestioning's comment below that Hal should have recruited Rook instead of Crumb in s5
...this never occurred to me as a possibility, (and I feel like I say this all the freakin' time) but man, that would have been a better idea than what we got.

Also thequestioning's note re: "You have always been a monster."
I meant to mention this bit too. Yes! This whole conversation in the tub was great (and I love Rook turns the discussion to his work), but I especially loved this.

Thank you for the comments <333

Nobody feels sorry for Alan, mwahaha. Cutler's just ??? at all that.

Rook turns everything to work and Hal turns everything to innuendo, the struggle of the century.

I agree that Hal wasn't particularly suicidal in s5, but I wouldn't put it past the writers to imply that. I'm just willingly blind to everything there. XD
Tbh it feels like we wrote all of it while drunk. XD We wrote the preliminary draft while s5 was still on air, so yes, we must have been very drunk!
I am always a sucker for a road trip So are we! XD Road trips are the best way for the characters to sort out their issues. ;))
Hal should have recruited Rook instead of Crumb in s5...this never occurred to me as a possibility It's all I've been thinking about since I saw 5x01. XDDD
This whole conversation in the tub was great Esp. the tub part XD You're right, we were drunk. XDDDD

Nothing wrong with tubs! Hal should've towed Rook along for the trip in the tub XD or vice versa.

no but imagine: Rook says NO and Hal toas him out of the palace together with the desk. Cutler headdesks.

pssst

[shirogiku]
