OH IS HE SHOWING UP AGAIN AWESOMENESS. Hm. Not having seen him again, I can't speak to the future, but from what I've seen so far, I think that either a) he did it and is a dangerous creep, or b) he didn't do it and is creepy but not necessarily dangerous, and is even oddly sympathetic. Though I see your point.
And in other news... I can't wait until the end of the season to talk to you about this. I'm just going to post in these commments and you will just have to see it twice when I make the end-of-season-1 post. These were (mostly) written while watching the eps in question (so, for example, you can see my mutating thoughts on Will/Alicia).
1x15"Bang": OMG Eli Gold. AHAHAHAHA. Also, Diane just got compared to Sarah Palin? HEE. ...Also, is every single conversation in this episode with double layers to it? Oh Will-and-Alicia. Don't. Don't go there! (I was mildly spoiled for this, by which I mean I have a vague idea what's going to happen.) If it does happen, I get it, I understand, I really do, but... don't.
1x16 "Fleas": I KNEW it wasn't Cary. Not his style. Saint Alicia, not his style. No, no, he'd stab her in the back and smile, but he'd do it for something tangible and he'd play by the rules. This kind of catty thing just to poke at her, no. Oh, Alicia. I hope you apologize to him. Also? Will/Diane partnership is totally my non-romantic OTP for this show. No romantic vibe between them whatsoever, so much so that they totally joke about it. I also love how they're the only "couple" on this show that really has the knock-down drag-out fights that all the couples, romantic and not, need to have and are not really having. Also! I guess the solution to unstable equilibrium = triangle! I HOPE SO. DO NOT DEPRIVE ME OF MY WILL/DIANE, SHOW. Also, I repeat: Eli Gold, HEE. Also also Murky Complicated Ethical Things OH MY HEART.
1x17 "Heart": Oh, it's the pregnant lawyer now with a baby I LOVE HER IN A TOTALLY EVIL WAY! So I have no idea why Will doesn't keep bringing up the 68 other couples in the same situation to EvilBaby!Lawyer. (Huh. I didn't meant to imply the baby was evil, but that is an unexpected bonus, so I shall let it stand.) Also, whoa, Christianity portrayed in a sensitive and nuanced fashion on a show about lawyers and politicians WHAT IS THIS SHOW. Also even more than that, I loved loved LOVED the scene between Peter and Will because it really played up the kind of show this is not, the show that is all about the powerful men talking while the woman is hidden in the corner, bringing the men coffee, silent, unimportant. It's a shock to the system, actually, because the show is so much not about that that it's a little like entering a foreign country. What is this place? And then Will and Peter both bring it back to Alicia (and Kalinda!), and we all breathe a sigh of relief. (While still being disturbed, because it's brought home to us how easily it can shift back to that, if the show weren't being so careful not to go there. It's the men who carelessly allow Alicia to play again.) OH THIS SHOW. ...And of course there's the kiss. And the hot sex. I just totally get it. I understand. I really, really do. But OH ALICIA. OH WILL. OH PETER.
1x18 "Doubt": Oh it's my favorite judge! YAY! No, actually, I realize I said I liked Abernathy, but really this guy is my favorite. I love how he's always totally mocking both lawyers. I'm sad Diane turns out to be boringly straight after all, and attracted to ballistics guy (although I do like him a LOT, there were a lot of murky hormones in this one, on everyone's side, hi Alicia and Will!), but it was just about worth it to see her casually stride by his courtroom and then say she was in a hurry and GO BACK THE WAY SHE CAME. Let me give you a hint, Diane: this guy studies trajectories for a living. HE IS NOT FOOLED. You might as well come out and say you like him! Also, dear SGU, THIS is fine directing, not whatever crap you are doing with shaky cameras. Also, kill me, why don't you, show? I have the bad feeling this is just a prelude to Our Heroes starting to lose things over and over OUCH I was really enjoying them winning. Also THERE YOU ARE MY MAN CARY MISSED YOU!
