okeedokee.

right off the bat, I notice a couple things:
-> they are dressin' snazzier. not by much, but you can tell the wardrobe department got their allowance between seasons :lol:
-> Bobby is looking at Alex more. not quite what I'd call "eye sex" yet, but longer than fleeting glances. adoration, perhaps? B)
-> the flirting continues. the very first thing we see of them this season is Alex' snarky/flirty comment at B squeezin' the hand cleaner out of the dead dude. "you must have been so much fun in biology class." ok maybe not the most romantic flirting. but I take this to be a profound testament to the tone of the show. perhaps setting the bar for what we can expect this season? letting us know things are still not so serious (other than the nature of their job). yet.
-> I got the impression in this ep, that Eames is significantly squeamish, for a cop, that is. in the scene I just mentioned, she has to look away; there are also another couple times she seems uneasy. there's the "let's just leave it at tool of the trade" scene in the funeral home, and then there's the scene where they're interrogating the dude who likes to rant about the desecration caused by embalming... this time Bobby checks her face, it looks to me almost like to see if she's okay.
I find this strange that they'd write this into her character, like, why is it important? does it have a connection to her past perhaps, or is it simply a facet of Alexandra? I guess they have to have a foil for the body-snortin', space-invadin' giant gumby, but still, they go all-out to show how tough she is. don't get me wrong, I can certainly see why anyone might be grossed out, even a cop. I don't mind it, I find it realistic. it just seems they're going out of their way to show us this and I want to know why if that's true.
-> to even out this concern he seems imo to have for her queasiness, we have the first "you ok?" from E to G at the bad guy's house. i don't really get why she asked this. seemed pretty normal-Goren to me. :huh:
-> a noticeable comparison between Deakins and Goren is made in the bullpen when Deakins says something like "yeah I heard they have to remove implants before cremation too, I knew a guy who married a stripper..." --Goren just looks at Alex like wth? kinda rolls his eyes, shakes his head, and facepalms. interesting. maybe he checks out hotties every now and then, but IS he really just like all guys??..I think we are meant to get that he's different.
-> they do some cool stuff with camera angles/depth of field, I've noticed a few times now they'll put Eames closer to the camera, so G/E appear to be the same size. interesting if intentional, does that do something in our brains? are they establishing her as an equal?

to me, that seems like part of the point. she gets things about him that other people (ie "us") don't get. they have that special unspoken thing going on now.

i truly absolutely agree with you. Bobby is different. i love this difference. it's one of the biggest appeals of the character for me. he isn't sexist. that said, the 'bounce and giggle show' put on by the hunnies was ... hard not to stare at. just sayin'. he checks out a few women. this make the old man happy. he hates to think that any man is more wonderful than him. :lol:

like.
i've noticed this, too.


(tee hee! hi EF)

i have a theory. (oh no! not another one!) ... in the beginning of s2, we meet a man who Bobby finds pretty smart and interesting ... might we say 'admires'? he's kind-of who Bobby would be, if he was a bad guy.

(i'm making pictures ... multitasking ... )

and Eames ... doesn't seem like she's liking this maybe a bit more than is ... healthy??

this is a favourite all-time loci moment. she is my hero.

she is so cool.
i think about this scene whenever i watch 'proud flesh' - her comment about Bobby squashing bugs being enjoyable. she isn't kidding. she loves this.

:) you're referring to Sex Club again? I don't think I've seen that one. cannot wait till I'm past season 3... so many in 4 & 5 I haven't seen! :wub: !

naw. i mean this one. sorry to be so confusing with the ref to 'sex club' sneaking in here. :blink: just spreading some of my dizziness around.

he does say at some point that he's looking forward to meeting the criminal behind this case.

the theory extends to two eps from now, and the introduction of Nicole Wallace ... so maybe i'll wait 'til then.

I immediately thought of Nicole, when you were talkin there... ;) great minds eh.

I went and watched this scene again just now, Indeed she is cool, idk if I can read that she's particularly enjoying the parallel, maybe I'm just tired. it's been a couple days since I watched this ep in its entirety, so I think I'm missing out on the beauty of your theory. but I know what you're talking about, for sure. I like that he said he was looking forward to meeting the perp.

The first "are you ok" that you speak of in Dead - is this when Bobby gets that gunk on his hands in the guy's garage? And then he goes outside and says "I have to get my hands to the lab." ? If so, I think she said it because he had a look on his face, due to his hands becoming 'evidence' and his being helpless to touch anything.

As for Eames being squeamish - I can't figure out if she really is or not. Sometimes, over weird stuff that you wouldn't think she would, like Goren's poking the eyeball in Context, she looks like she's in retch avoidance mode. And sometimes she can stand over a freshly dug up corpse and admire it's London Limited miniskirt. She's a mystery.

Talking about gross stuff, the time in "Mad Hops" where Bobby digs into that dead basketball player's nose would totally make Eames throw up right there... It's like the most *ew* Bobby-searching-dead-body moments ever, imo... I try but I can't seem to look at it... snot... just *eeeewwww*
