[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really loving this show. Just watched the 3rd episode. - I couldn't quite figure out why Steve Zahn was cast in this role the first couple episodes. But when his character went off the deep end in response to the news about his dad, I got it. Really enjoying where that character is going after feeling ambivalent at first. - I really love how layered so many of the interactions are. You'll hear characters describe them several different ways and they are all true. Like when Connie Britton's character had that conversation with the newlywed bride, and the girl winds up devastated because of the confrontation, but later Connie mentions it to her family that she found it really gratifying to talk to someone who admired her. The confrontation aspect was nothing to her. Stuff like that is so true to life and the show demonstrates it really deftly. - The boat scene tonight was so great and one of the first truly laugh out loud funny bits on the show. My DH and I were talking about how most happy couples would be upset about the situation at first, but then because it was so over the top ridiculous, it would instantly become one of your favorite stories to tell as a couple. "Remember on our honeymoon when we tried to have that romantic dinner at sea and instead that insane rich lady made us attend her mom's funeral? That was hilarious!" We would tell this story at dinner parties for decades because it's amazing. But the fact that this couple is just uncomfortable and awkward the whole time, and the guy so angry it's all he can think about, demonstrates what a bad match they are and in particular how self-involved and high strung the guy is. - Olivia is so gratingly annoying. Paula doesn't annoy me as much -- I think there is more going on with her and her politics/smugness is grounded in something more real than Olivia's desire to stick it to her rich, successful mom. - I am confused, though, as to why that family is sharing a one bedroom suite (albeit a huge, gorgeous one) necessitating the girls sharing the pullout and the son sleeping on a cot. It just seems like they could afford, at a minimum, a 2 bedroom suite. Or one suite and one regular room. I'm trying to figure out if there's going to be some explanation for it (like the mom is cheap and that's part of deal, or they did it on purpose for some other reason), or if [b]it was just a convenient plot device to force a bunch of conflict in the family. [/b]I find it very distracting, though.[/quote] I mean, it’s obviously this. There’s no other rational reason, given the family’s wealth.[/quote]
