What big thing will happen when we go to four digits, I wonder? Lara VO. Shouldn't Cyrus become more "good" now that he's splitting himself into good and evil halves? That might show Cyrus's dishonesty. He claims to want to isolate the "good", so "good" will triumph in society, I guess, it's all about the goodness... but the only change the potion makes is to unleash unrestrained evil, so Cyrus can let loose and escape his own repression. Cyrus was already "good" enough, until he started with all this. In his behavior, anyway. I assume.
It's principally a brain transformation, I guess, so it must be very painful, or other sensations equally as bad as pain.
Trask bolts the Collinwood front door. A bolt! Big difference from RT! Alexis meets Trask... no big shock scene, though here was an opportunity for another of those scenes. I guess they were tired of that at this point. They certainly leave it totally up to the viewer to glean the irony in these scenes, don't they? You'd never know what a reversal or difference this was, Lara and Lacey meeting again but like this, from the acting. In playing Trask, Lacey has a hint of the booming Trask voice, but just barely perceptible... to differentiate from Tony Peterson, I suppose.
Yaeger and Bruno should hang out. Between the two of them, they could wreck the town... Welcome Buffie Harrington! Yaeger gives a potential lumberjackish suitor at the Blue Whale the proverbial bum's rush. Yaeger is engaged in the closest he gets to a courtship ritual, which doesn't involve winning her approval, strangely... but it does involve sidestepping any blame falling on him, through the paying for damages to the bar from the fight he started.
Despite his only having Cyrus's knowledge and personality as his starting reference point, I guess Yaeger (instinctively only?), and guys like him, know they can aim for a sort of sick symbiotic relationship, between themselves, the domination junkies, and someone like Buffie who moves toward a powerful abuser despite herself. This seemed nonsensical to my younger, more naive, more earnest and straightforward self. This seemed like clumsy writing. It's what happens from early abuse though, combined with a need in one's sexual nature to be submissive.
So, Yaeger puts his best moves on Miss Harrington, by strangling her... end. The red plaid man with the greasy kid stuff was played by George Strus. That last name really sounds like a random noise made in one's sleep, or something. Is there a Strus family? Who'd make that up, though? An Ellis Island thing, probably.
Heroines wear blue, DL? I'll have to remember that... I missed the blatant broken bottle blooper. I feel
really unobservant. Q should worry what might happen if he accuses Trask. He could be poisoned... It's refreshing, though, that so often on DS characters aren't so careful, and blurt out their concerns. And PT Q is precipitous. All Qs from this point on are, or are said to be at the start. I think they wanted a bit of miceness, a bit of "loose cannon" in the Quentins' makeup, to hold onto the formula that made him so popular.
(He seems to have an uncanny ability to rematerialize in places he's just left
I missed that too... good observation... (about JY)
