What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think she's definitely gotten better with time. But I never hated her.

I never got the bad hair thing, but I'm beginning to think I never get the bad hair thing. Kane, Padalecki, Katic. I just don't see it.

Robin Tunney I don't get. I don't think she's bad-assed, I don't think she's hot, I don't think she's nuanced (not every day--I think she's had moments). And I have issues with her character (I guess I have issues with everyone except Jane--I just don't get why everyone else tolerates him, but I think it makes sense for him to be him).

What ita said. Plus, it looked like she was going to be stuck playing straight "man" to NF, fending him off, etc., and now she gives as well as she gets. Plus she doesn't see him as just a nuisnance (sp?).

Hey, I just thought of something. Last night, they were referring to Strauss as the Director. I thought that she was section chief?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Robin Tunney I don't get.

I haven't seen her other stuff, but I thought she was awful in Prison Break. Awful enough to avoid watching other shows with her it them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But she was awesome in Encino Man!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like Lisbon better now than I did at the start, she's loosened up some and gained a personality; but she still goes too easy on Jane. I can't figure out why, either, she's written as being tough, but with Jane she doesn't seem to know what to DO with him. I agree with her new supervisor, except for the part about firing her, except I'd bet that's just meant to light a fire under both of them.

I never got the bad hair thing, but I'm beginning to think I never get the bad hair thing.

I don't remember if I really hated her in the beginning or was just, meh. I re-watched the pilot the other night and I was struck by her bad hair and stiffness. I suspect the stiffness might have been in the script. (To play against Castle's free-spirited-signing-of-boobs-ness.)

I was aghast at her hair though. It was short and looked, at times, as if they'd plastered it down on her head with an entire tube of product.

ETA: The hair could have also been intended to help establish character. NF seemed to walk around the entire pilot looking like he just stumbled out of bed still wearing his clothes from the night before.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, her hair is distractingly bad. He's just...distracting.
