I tend to think that she'll get eaten alive out in the real world, but she's got incredible cunning.

"I have Twenty. Six. Dollars. in food stamps."

I don't complete understand what went on with her mom and the tape - was she hiding it the whole time?

Yep.

I have Twenty. Six. Dollars. in food stamps.

Exactly.

Thanks for the clarification on the tape. I guess she had me fooled while they were looking for it before the hearing, I thought maybe she had found it later and just hadn't had a chance to get it to the prophet or the DA or whatever. And she's Albee's mother, too, isn't she? What a web of conflicting motivations.

Nah. She had it. She was just going through the motions for Roman. I think she was hoping that if Niki kept her mouth shut, and she kept the tape, all the trying to get one over on each other could stop. Once Niki spilled the beans, all hope of that was over, but giving up the tape was definately going to keep it going.

Hm. Keeping the peace (or returning to it) hadn't occurred to me as her goal. I figured she was just pissed off at (a) having to cut off her daughter (b) Roman's betrayal (I don't think she knew about it until Niki told her) and (c) Rhonda in general. That fits her administrator role, though, cutting the legs out from under the conflict.

I think she's just sick of their pissing contest disrupting her sense of order and family.

Currently mainlining my DVR'd JOHN FROM CINCY. So far loving it. Send help.

Seriously, though, love seeing Bruce Greenwood on my screen (RIP Nowhere Man) and seeing some wonderful actors (many from DEADWOOD) in very different roles. The kid playing Sean is a TERRIBLE actor, but a hell of a surfer/boarder (which, well, duh, that's why they cast him). I'm hoping he may develop some chops in this company (Kai is occasionally wooden too, but she has enough moments where I want to marry her that I don't mind).

OK, I'm in JfrC for the long haul. It ain't perfect, and I wouldn't have traded DEADWOOD for it in a million years, but it's got it's own charm and a degree of rough grace (especially Ed O'Neill - who'da thunk it).

Funny, I like the way Sean is played. He seems like a realish 13 year old kid.

Glad I didn't quit renting "Six Feet Under". Among other things, Keith's niece, Taylor, is funny.

I'm watching The Wire season finale again, hoping to catch that elusive final 20 minutes (thanks for trying, Corwood, but the disc you sent me had the same problem. I've got a pretty good jinx going on so far). I just had to come in here and say how much I love that Proposition Joe had Omar's clock all fixed.

Eta: I think that's when I started watching 6FU, when Taylor showed up.
