if your throat bleeds with brittle words

Last night, I came home, had a glass of wine with dinner, and was out like a light by 9:30 pm. My exciting life. Sigh.

Art wouldn't be the first person to retcon a relationship with a dead person, though. Like in All's Well when Bertram thinks Helena (hah!) is dead and describes her as "having lost, now love."

That's true. I should rewatch season 1 to see how it plays with the knowledge.

The prison plot line is kind of annoying, but at the same time I'm so glad that they didn't write Melissa out of the show just because she's pregnant, unlike what pretty much every other show on the air would presumably do. or kill her or whatever.

ugh i just had a horrible vision of ghost!amy telling jake that her work was done because he was a better person now

Oh, absolutely. And you just made me gag a little with that potential plotline. Thank goodness the creators of B99 seem smarter than that.

I didn't really buy Art's having been in love with Beth - but them sleeping together once, even though it surprised me, kind of makes it work better for me? Like, they had sex and then she shot Maggie Chen immediately afterwards and was clearly spinning out; we already knew Beth's problems probably helped Sarah pretend to be her, covering for weirdness in her behaviour. And I can see Art - not being in love exactly, but having feelings (esp in the wake of divorce) and then they sleep together and never talk about it because she's freaking out and killed a civilian, and then it turns out she's dead - it's easy to romanticise a dead woman.

I loved the bits with Beth and the other clones. Alison helping Beth hide her addiction is just fascinating.

I guess looking at it that way makes it more palatable, characterization-wise. Okay, I can do that. *g*

So great! While I don't want Beth to have faked her death, I would be interested in the AU where she survives and comes back to see how Clone Club has pulled together in her absence.
