Why does anyone even live in Gotham City anymore?
Every time I rewatch The Dark Knight I ask myself that. And also why Christopher Nolan is allergic to girls.
So I spent most of yesterday laid up with some sort of stomach flu that my entire family had passed around first. I wish I could say that I spent that day being productive and reading the book I'm supposed to review for my blog, but in truth ( Read more... )

1) All the approval he's ever recieved has been because of his intelligence, his cleverness, his mathematical skill - and even then, it wasn't always enough. It wasn't enough to make his brother accept him. It wasn't enough to make people like him. Deep down, he's worried that nothing he does will be enough.
2) He's been under the supervision of the Deciders and the other community adults all his life; he's not sure how to function independantly yet, but at the same time he's always been precocious. He latches onto Four and Romana not only because they're the only older authority figures he knows anymore but because they're some of the only people who can challenge him mentally.
3) He's not used to girls - he didn't see many of them or interact with them much back home, hence his comments towards Nyssa and Tegan in serials like Four to Doomsday.
4) When Four regenerates into Five, he becomes much more vulnerable and much less alien; Adric abruptly loses his father figure then, and doesn't know how he's supposed to interact with him when he can't provide the comforting authority he needs.
5) He has a bit of a crush on both Nyssa and Five, for different reasons, and no idea what to do about either of those. ;)
