What I liked about Dex and Violet. Was despite how it seemed like it would be set up for Violet to use Dex, they genuinely meet and had a connection and when they meet outside of that building you could see the struggle she went through debating doing her job and her feelings for dex.
Yes! I actually ended up really liking how they did it, the more I thought about it. They played on the viewer’s knowledge of tropes and the expectation that we’d immediately think Violet was playing Dex so that the actual twist would be that she wasn’t. It made everything suddenly deeper, they ARE two former soldiers who just met and had a great time, by both their standards, and the fact that Violet let her walk away, that she sent the drink, that Dex DRANK it? I fully hope they’re going to bring Violet back, this kind of chemistry would be too much to waste.
I also just have to say the writing was so much better than it has been for some of these recent eps. I wish this was the Dex they wrote all the time, not even including her with Violet, let her still be awkward and messy and angsty, just more in control in some tiny crucial ways.
How’d you that Stumptown clip? I was driving myself crazy looking for the ep but found it’ll air today where I’m at.
The ep was up for download in the usual places on Monday night for some reason. It was ripped from CTV, a Canadian network, but that often happens for American shows, sometimes because they air earlier the same night, sometimes because the person ripping them happens to live there. I don’t usually watch on live TV or even official streaming apps, I just keep an eye on the download list and get what I want, so I originally assumed it’d aired in the US as well. Maybe they just aired this ep early, OR, they air a few days later than the US and it just so happens that it was the US that missed its airtime last week?
Regardless, it’s up there if you know where to look.
I hope they do make the Dex and liz moment about gray because dude just got cheated on and it involved someone who he was supposed to trust. Dick move on dexs behalf and I hope he never forgives her. Even though we know they’re gonna get together by the end of the show
I’m just not a fan of how much the show has been about him, tbh. His crime background has been the most boring part of the show to me and to make even this about him too? Of course it was terrible of Dex (and Liz) but to center this on him, for the writers to write this just to focus even more on him and what a good guy he is? I’m fine with this being about what a self-destructive person Dex is, because she is the actual lead of the show. What I mean is, she did a bad thing, but it should be about her hurting him and not him being hurt, if you get what I mean. Why’d she do it? If they say she did it to destroy Grey and Liz’s relationship because of her feelings for Grey, it’s just so…predictable.
Because frankly I do want to see more about her and women and not like this where it’s about a guy.
If it even happened. It was obviously my first assumption, but thinking on it, and rewatching the preview, where they never actually confirm it, I wonder if they’ll back away from it. Would be such a cop-out, I’d love to see them toss this huge spanner into the middle of the established dynamics. It’s horrible to the characters that it happened, but it’s interesting TV. Even more so if Liz was a regular.
Thank you for making gifs of Tobin Heath mentions ☺️ Bless the writers for having the character looking up to a total legend
Lol, no problem. It was so cute, and seems entirely fitting for Ansel.
Was Tobin Heath mentioned on Stumptown?
Oh, you mean where the main character’s younger brother full on wore her jersey?
And where another character immediately recognizes it and calls it out by name?
Oh, not just a fan.
Who this fictional character apparently knows!
Oh, and dropping some Heath facts too.
And it doesn’t end there! It’s picked up later again.
And then near the end of the episode.
