That's a good point about Sophie! Something about her just rubs me the wrong way. Like the way they showed her "acting" when they found her in the pilot, and she was HORRIBLE. That's just lazy writing, trying to get laughs - if she can do it on the job (and she is decent... better than Nate, anyway, who should NEVER DO ACCENTS EVER) then there's no reason she'd be so ludicrously horrible on the stage. I guess both of them feel like caricatures rather than people quite often. Meh, whatever. We have the little ones!! Ahhh so precious. And Aldis Hodge is a truly impressive actor.
It is my first time watching SFU! Ahaha I love your icon. I love that part where Claire bursts into song in the kitchen. All the surreal little things that we see from inside their heads are so cool and give the show such a unique tone and feel. It really is all the things you said, which is quite a feat! Everyone is perpetually screwed up, but there's moments of light and love and it's never... too difficult to watch, you know? It would be easy to go there with these characters but they haven't, and I really appreciate that. I've been told that the series finale is deeply affecting and powerful - I'm scared but also excited. I'm sure I'll get there within the week!
I have no icons from either of these shows! :( Have some surprise!JDM.
