Jason on Ringer

[allegrita]

Hey! Jason was on tonight!

Not for long, but he did have some screen time.

[cassysj]

Ohhh Lucky at what point? I set up to tape but don't have enough time to watch show before bed

[librarian_7]

Umm, about halfway through? He's got two short scenes.

[Lilly]

Well, that was about 30 seconds more than I expected.

He was very different tonight, don't you think? Something was unsettling about him this time. I have to watch it again, but there was more of a "Logan" vibe to Mr. C in that scene, and it wasn't just the casual clothing.


ETA: And what about the shocker at the beginning when Andrew and Henry both came up with very unexpected answers to the same question about that photo? That completely blew me away!

[librarian_7]

Yes. I'll have to see it again to make up my mind.

And there were LOTS of shocks tonight.

ETA: how was it Juliet even HAD his number?

I know! My son said the same thing.

Although, we do seem to be finding out a number of things after the fact that we weren't privy to at the time they happened.

[allegrita]

I haven't seen very many episodes of VM, but I know what you mean about a Logan vibe. He acted like a guy who's got lots of secrets, and he's got a very good shield up, but it's not perfect. And it felt like he realized it might seem odd that Juliet had called him instead of her dad.

As for the huge shock in the beginning, I think they handled it well. Bridget (as Siobhan) knew she had to reveal secrets to both men in order to push her agenda. But we still don't really know why she left the fingerprint on the broken pot, do we?

I wasn't surprised at all about the "sponsor" guy (not the professor, the other one)... and I really, really hope that Bridget's friend/sponsor will be okay. I hope he turns out to be good people, because he has suffered horribly and he seems to be such a kind, selfless guy.

I'm also wondering about what happened at the hospital...

[cassysj]

Yes. I'll have to see it again to make up my mind.

As weird as it seems I'm friends with a number of NYC public school teachers and they often designate a cell number for students to contact them when they reach high school age. That may be an NYC thing. One of my friends let his students call him until 10P if it was to discuss school work.

[Lilly]

Wow. That's good to know, Carol. That sort of thing is unheard of around here.


ETA: Strickly for illustrative purposes...

[RangerCM]

I saw his name in the opening credits so I was hoping for a bit more time, but I'll take what I can get

Spoiler:

What do you want to bet Bridget is pregnant too!

[Lilly]

I'm thinking the same thing, Ranger!

[librarian_7]

Umm, yeah, a couple of thoughts.

Spoiler:

Okay, yeah, I'm betting Bridget is pregnant..and it looks like the father might well be Malcolm.

I also had a devious thought...possibly the fact that Juliet had Mr. C's number might not be anything shady, but...they want us to think it is. After all, he could easily have said to her (and they could have shown it, if they wanted) "Hey, if you ever need to talk, here's my number," when he was being so sympathetic and all when she got hauled to the principal's office that first day.

[allegrita]

I think you're right about Bridget.

Spoiler:

And somehow that old Steely Dan song "Haitian Divorce" comes to mind...

And there's definitely something "off" about Mr. C.... but considering the way this show loves to throw red herrings in the path, I'm gonna reserve judgment till we get some more solid information. If there is such a thing as solid information on this show.

[librarian_7]

Off? I dunno. I'm reserving judgement at this point. Heck, we don't even know his first name yet!

Lucky
