Question of the week #59

[treonb]

If our characters could go back to any time in the show's run so far and change one thing, what do you think they'll change?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first three 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.)

How about Gabriel? Do you think he regrets anything?

I think there is also different ways of regretting the past. You can either wish certain things had not happened at all, or you can wish they had happened in a different way.

Ooh. There's an interesting question. Gabriel and Claudia are fascinating in how they keep their own feelings so close to the chest. I don't think either of them much likes this Illegals 2 program and it's possible that Gabriel hates some of the ways he's been manipulating the two of them.

In my head, I like playing with the idea that Gabriel actually adores Philip--like Philip's a favorite and he hates manipulating him via Mischa Jr. etc. I have no idea how he really feels about him, though. And if he did really care about him I don't think Philip knows it.
