I'm really enjoying your insights, and I hope you keep it up.
This first: thank you! I am enjoying the discussion a lot, too. Thank you for engaging me.
But that's already a huge change, isn't it?
Yes, he's changed his behavior, and you're right, it had to be the hardest to do it in respect to Gregory. He's not thinking clearly when it comes to Gregory, so that was really impressive. I think he is still experimenting, though - looking what that behavior results in. He's still testing her out. Not in a bad way, to trip her up, just, without judgement, to find out what makes her tick, and how she will react to what he does.
No, he's still not over his "I love you so I am going to protect you" thing, but my read is that that's such a gut thing for him that it's going to be a near-impossible habit to break
True. But that is what will get him points with her, so I would think he'd try. I have seen all the episodes by now, but is there a discussion post for the last one? Because if I continue now, it is going to be spoilery. I'll go on to the next post for now.
There are dozens of ways to read between the lines on this show
OMG yes. That is so unusual and so much fun. I am so happy that they didn't give us anything clear yet, and there is still so much for us to speculate on and so much for Phillip and Elizabeth to work on. I am so looking forward to season 2!
