More "Solo" Commentary!

[mood| complacent]
[music|Fisher - True North ]

Okay, so I'm watching it again, and Rachel's line to Syd is ... are you ready for it ... because here it comes ... no fooling now ... I'm serious ...

"It helps. Having you."

Um, yeah. I'm sure it does, Boobs. I'm sure it does.

Also, the conversation between Boobs and Peyton on the oil rig, it totally is like post break-up groveling. The way Peyton is talking to her, it's like Boobs caught her cheating with the Fed-ex girl and kicked her ass to the curb, and now Peyton has come back to pick up her CD collection, but is trying to sweet-talk Rachel into taking her back.

The conversation actually goes: Boobs/Rachel = B & Peyton = P

B: My god, you're ...
P: Not dead?
B: I was gonna say evil. Tell me I'm wrong.
P: Let's just say we're working for other teams.
B: You know the whole time, you were in on it with Dean
P: I wanted to tell you...
B: You blew up that building and you killed all those people
P: It wasn't personal, I always liked you...
B: It was a lie. Everything we did...
P: That's enough!
B: Now you're gonna kill me
P: That's what Dean wants. You've made it really hard since you left. But like I said I've always liked you. I don't want to kill you. Give me the software and you walk away from this. Come on Rachel, you're in way over you're head. I don't want to shoot you. Give me the disk.
B: Okay.

But when you see their facial expressions and the tones of their voices it could easily translate to:

B: My god, you're ...
P: Here?
B: An arrogant bitch! Get out of my apartment. I can't believe you came back here
P: I never wanted to leave
B: You cheated on me. With Dean!
P: It was a mistake. We'd had too much to drink at the office party and ...
B: For three months! You were sleeping with him for three months!
P: It wasn't personal. It's just that, once it happened ... he's my boss you know, and I didn't want to...
B: It was a lie. Everything we did...
P: Stop! You're not even listening to what I'm saying.
B: I don't want to hear it!
P: He's my boss, I was in a really tough spot. We were good together though, weren't we baby? I don't want to leave. Just come out for dinner with me tonight and we can see how it goes. Come on, Rachel. You know you miss me. I miss you too. Just one night, dinner drinks, and we'll take it from there.
B: Okay.

SEE! It's totally the same thing! *what, what are you looking at? Nothing to see here, move it along*

And the look on Peyton's face when Boobs saved her was pure "What have I done? She truly was the best of us all. Rachel ... *whisper*Rachel..." Seriously, ya'll, it was!

And going along with the alternate reading of scenes, near the end at APO when Sydney was watching Jack and Rachel talk through one of APO's many glass walls, and then Rachel comes out looking relieved and sorta happy, and is all "Your father is kind of scary". It has a total 'bringing the significant other home to meet the parents for the first time' vibe.

Again, this was a fun episode. And so gay, so very very gay.

( And now a rant on Sydney seemingly not giving a flying fuck that her sister is a coma! )
