Being Human
I'm liking this season, I really am, but today's episode pointed up the one thing usually missing by it's presence: clearly, there is not nearly enough mostly naked Mitchell. Just sayin.' (I can't help it. Mitchell is squarely in my physical attraction sweet spot). Also, I think Ivan's actor just quietly rocked by socks with his acting. That little scene with Mitchell just blew me away. Understated and lovely. I'm liking what they did with Annie today and I'm wanting to slap George silly, but that's normal. It's just Michell's plot and character arc is more resonant for me this season. George really needs to make his basic decision about his closet door being open or closed and the self loathing is realistically tiresome for me. I just don't have a lot of patience for his inability to accept himself. It's a waste of energy to struggle with what can't be changed, simpler to run with who you are and live with the consequences. I figured out my deal as a little kid, saw the lack of options and moved on. (Options appeared later, yay science, but there literally weren't any until the '98 rules change, at which point,I had other fish to fry for awhile). The point being, he's a grown a** man and he's had a couple of years to get his s**t together. Time to stop running in the hamster wheel. I get lots of people are like that one way or another, but I'm not all that patient with them RL either. At least Annie's growing up, despite the occasional backslide; I'm not convinced George is. Again, there is nothing wrong with George's plot line as art, it's just a matter of personal taste. Anyway, to me, the complexity of Michell's ethical choices appeals better to my personal taste, it just does, and I like political stories, and his struggle with his own choices is just more my thing.
