Re: On rewatch
Date: 2014-03-08 08:51 pm (UTC)I find his Clark accent remarkably inconsistent this season! It's got to be deliberate, too, and I just love that--it fits the most recent chaos so well. I wonder how that ends up sounding to Martha.
Philip must be positively gob-smacked at Elizabeth saying she didn't get the signal.
Yeah, there's this PAUSE where he's like "wha?" And then he just lets it go. (I love how they can both let things like that go! It's so key to the success of their partnership, even dating from before they were a real couple.
Btw, is Fred Cardinal or Emmett? Or someone else?
I was wondering this, too. Anyone?
And now *Philip's* bringing *Fred* a glass of water in his own house. Talk about a flip of control.
I noticed this, too. He sure won him over fast! I guess when Fred caves, he just totally caves.
