Question of the week #35

[treonb]

A lot of the critics have talked this year about things that changed on the show between seasons one and two. What are three changes that you yourself have noticed?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first two seasons in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

Re #3, it's interesting hot them being together wasn't like opening a floodgate of communication or scenes like that. They did communicate, but mostly in the same way they did before. A lot of it was still unspoken or through little gestures.

That said, I agree that the situation they're in now will hopefully demand different kinds of communicating (hopefully they'll still be doing it).

Very true. It's not as if either of them are particularly eager to sit down and spill their emotions at any time. It usually looks incredibly painful! The events of season one kind of forced them into a place where there was no way to get what they wanted without a little emotional honesty after a lot of years of lying and deception and I'm sure it had to feel like such a relief (especially to Philip!) for things to just be okay so they could go back to just getting what each other meant, something they're actually good at when they're not actively lying, and away from the whole having to spill your guts thing, which for him is just sheer torture.
