Season one group rewatch: the pilot

[jae]

This is the discussion post for the pilot episode in the group rewatch of season one. When you rewatched the episode, was there anything you noticed that you didn't notice the first time (and any subsequent times) you saw it? What things about it did you perhaps view differently after having seen the later episodes?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.

Re: Just one little thing

Thanks for those lines! I think in my head I was taking Gregory's meaning and translating it into something else--you're right, what Gregory is saying is slightly different and far more relevant to his situation with Elizabeth. Iow, if Philip was saying Elizabeth was his wife and he trusts her, Gregory's pointing out that Elizabeth certainly doesn't trust him the same way, because she's hiding a big part of herself from him, just as Robert was.

But still, maybe failed connection is the wrong word. It's just that in my memory I saw Philip and Robert as having hung out a lot and their conversation in the Pilot actually suggests people who haven't hung out a lot. Philip would still have good reason to call him a friend and say he trusted him, but I think Gregory's right to call him on getting carried away in that moment because he's trying to challenge Gregory.
