The man is weak around young flesh. He is not worthy of The Woman. The girl is soft and craves further softness – she is not worthy of The Woman. The girl does not know what she thinks she is saying yes to! She invites herself into liability – teach her the usefulness of rejection!
I have never seen a single episode of The Americans but I very much relate to the "sharper than a serpent's tooth" mixup. For me it's all LM Montgomery's fault -- her villains are always misattributing the that line (and Shakespeare in general) to the Bible. Standard move in the "guilting your noncompliant child/adoptee/niece/wayward scamp from the community that you tried to forcibly adopt" playbook.
Daniel, i love this, but Keri Russell's character is a fanatical servant of the KGB. She was raised by an even more fanatical mother.
See episode from previous seasons when she and her husband break into the warehouse where FBI mail robots are repaired. There's an unplanned encounter there that, from Keri R's perspective, can only end one way.
"I wonder if I imagine new things that may not have happened at all in order to make myself angry again when I can feel my old anger wearing out and growing exhausted."
Oof, what a powerful line. This writing gives me life.
Wow
I am here for ALL the Sopranos content. "Bad daughters are devious servants"!!
