For the past two days, all I've watched is the first five minutes of the epi, so forgive me for not being able to tear myself away long enough to post here before now. Here are my thoughts. I hope that they make sense.
---
I was kind of spoiled before I actually saw the epi, but reading what happens during that first scene and actually seeing it are two very different things. I was expecting something like the almost-sex scene in
Scar, an all-out grope-fest fueled by lust or physical attraction. What I got was something a million times better. Everytime I watch it, all I think is how absolutely sweet, beautiful and
so right it is that they are semi-together. It's a stolen moment between two people who are obviously in love with each other but who, at the same time, are in lirabo and trapped by the vows they took to other people. The kicker is everybody involved knows what's going on between our couple, yet no one in this weird love rectangle does anything to bring some relief or happiness to the situation...Like I said in my first post, one of the main reasons I watch the show and love this couple so much is, no matter how hard they try, the choices they make always seem to cause a huge mess right when they're so close to finally getting together. I mean, look at what happened in the
Unfinished Business flasrabroadacks: they declare their love for each other, and right when you would think that they're finally getting together, we find out that our heroine has run off and married a man who, when asked earlier, she never came out and said she loved. As a result of hearing the news of the marriage, our hero forces himself to commit and later marries a woman who he had decided to leave the night before. :look: Now look at the mess that they've created. She won't divorce, and he won't cheat. :thud: I don't have any predictions as to what I think will happen, but I'm sure it's going to get worse before it gets better. I've imagined the worst-possible outcome, so whatever happens between them, I'm fully prepared...Oh, my last thought on the L/K parts, how awesome is the part where he yells, "I know who she is, and I have known her and cared about her a hell of a lot longer than you!". I get so :yay: everytime I hear that. It's like he's saying that she may be Anders's wife, but nobody knows her as well or loves her as much as Lee does.
The non-L/K parts are great too. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the other story. L/K are the reasons for my viewership, so everything else is secondary. :shrug: Overall, it's a great story and cliffhanger, and I'm interested in seeing the second part of this epi. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed. :goof:
For anyone who wants to see that really great opening scene, here it is. It's roughly three and a half minutes long. You just have to fast-forward a little (00:03:06 to get the additional L/D conversation about K's rather loud approach / 00:03:52 to get to the good stuff right away

).
Click-click.
My last thought -> Is it just me or is JB looking extra :drool:-worthy this season?
