[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started season 2. I think the problem with Hal and her is that they both are and want to be powerful independent people so they are in each others way but love keeps them tethered [/quote] I would say the [b]conflict is desire for power[/b] [Hal] v responsibility to serve [Kate] and Moral flexibility [Hal] v rigidity [Kate]. It’s not that Hal wants to do bad things, but he very much wants to be the one doing the good things, and he’s much more open to the ends justifying the means. Meanwhile, Kate may find the prospect of serving as VP somewhat enticing, but she’d really be just as happy contributing to the greater good in whatever capacity flows to her. [/quote] I think there is only one thing we actually know about Hal's motivation and that is that he is crazy about Kate and wants to stay married to her. Everything else is her interpretation and commentary on what he does, and I guess we are just supposed to take that as we are spoon-fed? What about his Chatham House speech? He is only in it for power? What about Kabul? I don't understand her bitterness - if he really negotiated a one-day delay of the Taliban, a lot more than 300 people got out because of it. Even sending his speech to Billie could have been about wanting to not cause controversy in the midst of the vetting. Etc. Etc. Assuming Kate is all good and Hal isn't is simplistic.[/quote] That wasn’t the take. You bolded four words and ignored all other content and context. Now that people are done watching, I loved, loved, loved seeing Allison Janney and I hope we get much more of her next year. The way she illuminated as she realized maybe her goose isn’t cooked after all was fantastic. And I think we all saw the paper clip takedown coming, but it was so perfect. Somehow she’s deliciously bi*chy with no hate at all. Love, love, love her.[/quote] Yes, she's very good![/quote]
