aragarnaI think I'm a sucker for the "I care about you more than you'll ever know" trope.
This is something that happened a lot in White Collar, and one of the things I love about Peter. He can have all the reasons in the world to be mad at Neal, but the moment Neal is in danger, or someone tries to come between them, Peter takes Neal's side. Same with Neal. He'd do anything for Peter - including faking his death to keep him and his family safe...
So I was watching Second Chance last week and
when Jimmy was held at gun point, Duval suddenly became all bossy with Otto, menacing him to put a gun to his head.
And that just made me smile. Cause, you know, no matter what, it's still his father, and Duval does care.
And then, I decided to run a The Americans marathon to refresh my memory before season 4, and in the Pilot
Elizabeth and Philip are at odds because Philip wants to defect, and also, they're just pretending to be a couple. But when Philip learns that Elzabeth had been raped in the past, he just kills the guy right there.
Those are actions that speak volume about a character's real feelings. Feeling that they rarely express in words, or that they're not even aware of, or are struggling with. But then there's that thing that happens, and they act on their true heart, and it's beautiful. I just love those moments.
Anyway, that was my little meta of the day. I had to share.
