Sometimes sanity takes vacation, time on leave; I'm beginning to understand
Ahh, poor neglected LJ. What have I been doing to abandon you so?
Unfortunately, not much. Not in the scheme of things, really.
If you put it in a list it seems like a fair amount since I last posted. That's if you dont take in how long it's actually been and how many hours there are in a day.
This is a very convoluted way of saying I've been really ( Read more... )

I am so totally with you on that, my friend. I was also convinced that they would resolve the whole trust issues thing in the first episode, but what made me reconsider was Matt guesting on Jimmy Fallon night before last.

Which would be very much to my liking (I think).

I get why most people prefer him the way they do. From what's in the show, there's a lot to base him on as a good guy, and at heart he is a good guy. He's just also quite good at being bad, and I mean half the show is based around this fact that Neal is in actuality a con man and signed himself up for this so he could get out of prison for his girlfriend. Now the girlfriend's gone and he's left on the outside with that motivator gone, everything he used to be - and was comfortable and good at being - is considered wrong and immoral and while he knew that before, he didn't care. I think the difference now is he doesn't have the conviction on that other side of the law to keep going except his own history and what he ( ... )
