Episode Notes: Sentinel "Spare Parts"

Jan 26, 2007 22:35

That squeaking sound you hear, as I'm getting prepared for watching here, is me flossing all of my preconceptions about Naomi right out of my head. I'm trying to go into this episode without *anything* cluttering up my reading of her here. So ::squeeksqueek::, I'm forgetting everything that comes up in later episodes, fanfic, etc ( Read more... )

What bugs me is, she doen't see the dichotomy there, is absolutely clueless (or acts like she is) that she's riding roughshod over everyone else.

Well, yes, because she knows what's best not just for herself but for *everyone* and, indeed, the entire planet. That level of certainty is not entirely *sane* in my opinion, and I'm brewing a notion as I respond to people that perhaps it's an open secret that Naomi does actually have some mental condition. Which is why Blair goes along with her nonsensical blither about the harmonic convergence (nonsensical even if you believe that stuff) and having a personal best at meditation (quoi???).

I don't know. Someone once suggested that maybe she's not attending all those retreats; maybe she's teaching a number of them. And every man she hooks up with probably foots the bill... I think she could be this blythe, and still be cash-poor.

It's possible...but I don't actually know that I'd consider what she does to get all those men to support her "work". Though I suppose if you're doing it for a living some of the charm leaves the activity.

I bet she's never worked at anything she didn't *enjoy*. I mean, I bet she never woke up in the morning and thought, "Man, it's a gorgeous day and there are a million fun things I could do to day, but, God Damn it, I've got to go to work." I don't see her having the patience for an actual *grind*. (And even the best and sweetest job is a grind once in a while.)
