Onward to season two
Okay, I have watched the first season of OC. I was hoping it would enlighten me about the Congressman Kilbride stuff Ayanna is into, but I guess that's more season two. At least now I have seen the Wheatley stuff and am ready for the trial.
But also: I have seen the Wheatley stuff.
And, okay. Elliot almost sleeps with Cam from Bones Wheatley's ex-wife Angela, who is in love with Elliot, but who also inspired, but didn't technically order, Kathy's murder. This is really a Law & Order series? I'm not sure I buy Elliot as the kind of guy to jump into bed with someone else like six episodes after his wife of 40 years has been murdered, but okay, grief and PTSD, and also Elliot is not a man in possession of any chill whatsoever, so I guess.
Except. Except this is so Wheatley can tell Angela that when Elliot was looking into her brown eyes, he was thinking about someone else's. Not about her, or about his dead wife, but about the one true love of his life. And just in case you didn't understand who Elliot's brown-eyed one true love is, we're going to stick a shot of Olivia in the recap at the start of the next episode and have this as a voiceover. And if you missed that, Dylan McWheatley is going to see Olivia and tell Elliot he understands because she is a knockout.
Poor dead Kathy.
But! That wasn't the worst of it. The worst was much earlier, when Mr. No Chill was telling Olivia about his life with Kathy in Rome and he thought it was somehow appropriate to say to Olivia, "You would have loved it." Elliot! No! She does not want to hear about how you take out your memories of her, swap her in for your now-dead wife, and play house in your head. Jesus, what is wrong with you, Mr. In A Parallel Universe It Will Always Be You And I.
In conclusion: this is terrible and I love every minute of it! I came out here to be attacked and I am honestly having a good time right now!
Also, unrelated and twenty years ago, but I'd really like to know more about the whole thing where Elliot gave Olivia his credit card to buy Kathy's birthday present. Like. What was being purchased and why did Olivia need to be involved. Dreamwidth: Comment | Read Comments
