"As if dinners for two and walks in the park were my thing"

We pick up in today's episode back by the pond (although not Snyder Pond, I don't think; apparently Oakdale has many ponds to choose from to play host to relationship drama), and Luke opens up to Noah about how after being pushed away with both hands, he made himself stop pining after Noah. Meanwhile, Reid is picking up the pining slack as he mopes ( Read more... )

Lines I love: "You don't understand drunks at all". I also love, "You know what I hate?" "I think there's a list." <3 Love that.

Ugh this whole thing with Noah. When I was watching, what really kind of struck me was that Noah's kind of bitching to Reid about his eyes not being what he wants them to be, and then says something about loving Luke as much as ever. I find it interesting that Reid says to Noah, "Fight for what you want." Or something. And I've always assumed they both thought Reid was talking about Luke. But then, seeing Noah do the exact opposite of fighting for Luke, instead pushing him away with both hands again, I'm wondering if Dr. Oliver and The Douche might not have had two different convos?

Maybe Noah thought that Reid was talking about fighting for his sight, and being brave enough to fight for his sight again, and, still blaming Luke, and still being pissed off that he can't see as well as he wants to, he decides that the tried and true method of blaming Luke and pushing him away will let him concentrate on what's ( ... )

Lily probably thinks she knows exactly what he wants with her son.

"Control freak! I think that Luke is probably the better judge of what he needs. Though, I suppose in this case, what he really does need is for you to get the hell out of his life in order to make way for Dr. Oliver's love and cock, so, thanks for being such a horrible boyfriend in this particular instance."

Amen! Wake up and smell the hotness, Luke!

Seconded!

Yeah, it's interesting that as soon as Reid tells him to fight for what he means (i.e. Luke), Noah decides to be a martyr by pushing Luke away yet again.

that glad-eye Luke gives Reid when he comes out from examining Noah? JFC! Be more obvious that Reid makes you come in your pants, Luke!!!

RIGHT? I'm like, Luke, your mom is STANDING RIGHT THERE. Heeeeeeeeee.

he cuts him off so many times, and even decides for Luke what Luke is trying to tell him, without actually listening to see if he's even close to right.

Yeah, even when he's trying to be supportive and understanding, he's still so controlling. That's just who he is, and again why he's SO wrong for Luke.

That's assuming Noah was actually trying to be supportive and understanding. I think he just wanted to appear supportive and understanding enough that Luke would forgive him and go back to being his doormat, but beyond that I don't think Noah actually gave a crap about Luke's feelings at all.

Sadly, I think that Noah really believes he IS being supportive and understanding. I think he's incredibly delusional about the way he treats Luke. That's why he's such a martyr about everything down the road. So un-self-aware!

Oh, and how disgusting and paternalistic is Noah's excuse this time? "I pushed you away. You're angry. You need time to deal with that." Uh, thanks, dickwad, for telling Luke again what it is that he needs.

Not only is it paternalistic and a dickwad move, but it's a serious failure in anything even resembling logic. I mean, seriously, how does one even find logic in the concept that, gee, you're upset with me for pushing you away, so I'm going to fix it by pushing you away some more?

And to this day I wish they'd cut to Reid's face when Luke called himself a drunk. Would've loved to see his reaction to that.One of the many, many, moments of FAIL in the last few months of the show. In my head, after Reid went home, he was all mopey and pillow-huggy again, and Katie got him to open up a little, and then she filled him in on everything he ever wanted to know but was afraid to ask about the history of one Mr. Luke Snyder. I think something like that had to happen to explain why Reid was suddenly so very eager to join in the epic search ( ... )

OMG. This makes so much sense that I am now convinced that this must be what happened.

ITA re the lip snarling thing. I was watching a couple epis ago when Reid was examining Noah and he said something about Luke making the surgery happen and him pushing Luke away, blah blah and if you watch Reid's lips really closely you can see that it's almost like he's biting his tongue so he won't say anything. I think by this point Reid was totally disgusted with Noah's behavior towards Luke and how he treated him. He really thinks that Noah is a sick, twisted douche. And thankfully, Reid finally gets to give Noah a well-deserved verbal beatdown once that doctor-patient relationship is dissolved on Hawaiian Punch day.

Great point. It would have been so easy for Noah to say, "Luke, I really love you and I'm sorry that I've hurt you so much. But I don't want you to stick around for me if your doing it out of obligation. I want you back more than anything but I'll understand if you need some space from me right now." But no. He has to go and get all Noah-y and make the decisions and push Luke away yet again.

The hair! Those eyes! At first I thought of it as the "I want to pounce on you" look but now I am also thinking of it as the "Don't you want to pounce on me?" look.
