Let's Shake some Squee - Second Chance episode 2 - One More Notch

[aragarna]

Old guy at the hospital: "Yeah, they say 70 years of red meat is what did it to me."

Jimmy: "That's what they said to me, too! Not... 70, obviously. I mean, more like, what am I, 35, 30?"

That's silly, but it craked me up. :)


This and Jimmy trying to go through the brick wall... so LOL Not that strong Jimmy... I have a feeling the healing power of the tank is gonna come in handy a few times... ;)

All the jokes about Jimmy being not dead anymore, and not being Jimmy Pritchard, though obvious, were a lot of fun.

You!

I'm really enjoying the Duval/Jimmy interactions. Interesting tension there. I wonder how Duval will feel when he'll find out Jimmy is his dad (which shouldn't be long now, looking by how smart and determined he is). At least he'll be relieved that there wasn't another kid he gave his name too, while he has to run around with Duval, heh.
The scene with Helen and Gracie was sweet. Loved their little complicity watching Duval and Jimmy's stare down.

Speaking of, Duval sure had a lot of questions! Loved how he fired them all at once.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not missing my Peter, but I like seeing Tim developing someone different. Darker, more badass, less open, less adorable. But still with all those faces and looks, and wearing suits like no one else. And very suiting bullet-proof vests!

Hey, how are you doing?

I really enjoy Jimmy's sense of humor. His way to extort confession, not so much... I know this is part of the whole story - Jimmy was a corrupt cop - but still, makes me cringe.

Not sure what to make about Mary's assistant breaking down. Are we gonna have a complicated love-square, where everyone has feeling for Mary?

Oh and wasn't the opening scene, with both young and old Jimmys awesomely freaky?

Note for Santa in the future: I want one of those transparent tablets!

Also, side note, it's really fun to have the cast (and whoever is in charge of the official SC account) to be live-tweeting with fans. :)

What to say it's a joy to see Tim on the screen I like the show and i don't care for the twins issue but I'm more interested in the relationship that is going to evolve between Duval and Jimmy and also to the effect on Gracie ... and I love God- good guy law-abiding Duval ..so Peter in this and as Peter he protects family and who he loves and Duval is smart and I think he is going to put the pieces together very quickly ..he noticed the new notch on the bar ....another bad guy put away ..just as his dad did
and for the transparent tablet no no I don't want anything like that so anyone can see what you are doing and watching!!
It's already a pain listen people speaking to their mobile telling everything about their life and you have to try to not listen!!
But how you can do it when one sits near you on the train and she talks for all the time ...one hour!!
Really can't you wait to be home for that ???!!!

Well, you don't have to look at a person's tablet if you're not interested. My main issue actually with it is that it looks way too breakable (when the bad guy takes it from the girl's hands, we hear it breaks into pieces. A normal tablet wouldn't break like this).

I do hope we'll see a little more of Gracie in the future, because me too I want to see more of the Pritchard family.

Lots of fun! I do like Jimmy's humour, and that bit in the elevator with the old guy was funny! But yeah, Duval is so going to figure it out soon! :D

The stand off, lol! That was sooo funny, especially with the other two watching and commenting on it!! :D

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Yes the bit in the elevator was hilarious. "what am I, 35, 30?" Not suspicious at all LOL

I can't wait for Duval to find out. Because it's sure gonna be an emotional scene (and I'm a sucker for emotional Tim), and because it'll make the Duval/Jimmy dynamic really interesting.

I also found interesting that Helen, the sister, seemed a lot more welcoming to an unknown brother than Duval.

Ohhhhh I am so very slowly but surely falling in love with this show. It's so nice to have Tim back on my screen every week.

I loved this episode even more than the last. I actually wonder who will put together the pieces first - Gracie or Duval - both are so smart and seem to be on to something. I love Jimmy's (do we call him James now?) humor, and I actually really am enjoying the chemistry between he and Mary. I do agree, though... her assistant's breakdown was a little much for me. I'm excited to see where this is headed!

And Duval... Duval in suits, Duval in Kevlar, Duval at home being super protective of his family... all of it makes me squee so much. That little thing Tim did at the very end of the episode when he walked away from the bar with his arm out - I'm sure I've seen him do that a thousand times before in White Collar... and it just made me so happy. It's the little things, I guess.

Anyway... Thanks for doing Squee posts for Second Chance!! It's so exciting to have a group to talk about it with! :D I've missed this!

And thanks for joining the squee! :D You can count on me for the weekly squee! And the show is growing on me. As are the characters.

You're right Gracie seems to be very much on to it too. I hope we'll see her more. It was nice to see her question her grandfather's suicide. I had been wondering about this - how she'd feel.

Still lots of things to explore...

And yes, I do like watching Tim. Comparing what's similar to WC (or previous things) and what's different. And also, different from who he is for real. I find that fascinating.

Second episode, so much fun! Can't wait for the big reveal, Tim is so good at emotional scenes. Really glad Jimmy named his son Duval and not James, as it gives us the opportunity to hear Tim's lovely accent on Duvaaaal, great move on Dad's part! The cherry on the top this week? A TDK wink at the end ..... sqeeeeeeeee!

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

Yes! I just went back to rewatch the ending, very Agent Burke leaving the office at the end of the day, well spotted. I was squeeing too much after the wink to see it first time around!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

LOL good point about the "Duval". It does sound lovely in Tim's voice. ;)
The wink was awesome!

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

I need to make a collection of TDK winks, it is definitely my kink, a wink-kink.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I made you an icon with a bunch of others a while ago.

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

I know, but like all addicts, I need MORE to feed my habit, now I've moved onto the heavier stuff, I need gifs, I need video clips!!

[eldorah.livejournal.com]

Oh, the wink!!!! I squeed there too. It's one of my favorite things Tim does. As aragarna said, it's so much fun to watch for the similarities between his own personality and previous work, and the new life he is bringing to Duval... I love it oh so much. :D
