I got back from my island vacation a couple of weeks ago, but hiatus doldrums have put the kibosch on my posting anything. Basically, it all boils down to this: ( What I Did on My Spring Vacation )
The one thing I feared about the whole Kalinda/Peter thing was that Alicia would put all the blame on Kalinda and forgive Peter again (I hate it when women blame the other woman instead of, you know, THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY MADE PROMISES TO THEM TO STAY FAITHFUL). UH THAT WAS NEVER MY FEAR BECAUSE ALICIA HAS NEVER BEEN THAT KIND OF WOMAN. That would be such a non-Alicia thing for her to do, blame the other woman. I know she's been tight-lipped about Peter's first scandal, but I never got the impression that she was going around blaming the prostitute for the situation. It was always Peter's fault in her eyes. ETA: I HAVE MORE TO SAY ON THIS SITUATION. I actually kind of love Alicia's relationship with Peter for being... realistic? fair? I don't think I hate Peter as much as everyone else does, because Chris Noth has ALWAYS been a sleaze to me so everything he does is just LOL Chris Noth being Chris Noth. But I think they've done a good job to show how Alicia used to be in love with him, may even still be in love with him, but how she's
( ... )
To be honest, that was more of a knee-jerk reaction of what often happens in real life rather than what we see on television, because most TV shows don't do that (has any tv show done that? I'm thinking Dallas or another of those 80s soaps, maybe?). But I agree, Alicia is not like that. However, I can totally see both Peter and Kalinda getting the cold shoulder and I worry about that because Alicia's and Kalinda's relationship is my favorite on the show and I hope it hasn't been irrevocably ruined by this
( ... )
I'm sorry to cut in here, but I just really, realllllly, really, really like that you included Will in the list of people Kalinda feels close to. THEIR SCENES ARE THE BEST. And I'm out.
Wow. Thanks for sharing! I'm all for spending more time with Algernon and Jack, seriously. I re/read the big Wilde plays a few years ago and it was heaven. But I suppose that it'd have been even funnier if I'd actually seen any of Jersey Shore. ;-)
Also, I'm glad you had a lovely vacation! Yes, the sun's here... even if I started letting my skin get used to the sunshine weeks ago. Though the experience would be better if I hadn't the protracted spring cold of doom. Of course, as per usual, I can't remember to not ride my bike close to the sea at impossible-ish speed, which doesn't exactly help. Sigh.
So, what were the results of that book poll you had? Did you read anything particularly good while you were away?
