15 thoughts about a scene from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Season 1, episode 15, the scene with Rebecca's parents.

  1. I'm a little unclear how Rebecca is seeing this scene. The only way it works is if Dr. Akopian's as a dream ghost is actually magic because otherwise Rebecca is just imagining the part that she wasn't present for.
  2. Silas tells Naomi to not tell him how to be a father but he has no interest in being a father so he doesn't even realize what a hypocrite he is
  3. The tension in the scene is believable
  4. Silas has a point that he wasn't prepared but he should realize that his daughter did something drastic and she needs his love and attention
  5. Despite the height difference, Naomi clearly has a lot of power
  6. The scene stays dynamic by having Naomi move and turn around
  7. Calling Silas an ass is an effective and believable moment of swearing
  8. Naomi fiddling with her car keys helps sell that she is trying to keep her emotions in check and thinking
  9. This scene helps humanize the often irredeemable Naomi
  10. Silas lets Naomi have the final word which I think indicates that he knows that she has a point
  11. The colors in the scene are overall drab and the materials are textured, so Naomi stands out in the scene in her crisp light gray sweater showing that she doesn't belong there and is a disrupter 
  12. Silas says he needs to have his life together but everything in the scene indicates that he does. His home is neat and decorated, he is clean shaven, he is dressed nicely. This helps indicate that he is merely coming up with an excuse.
  13. Focusing on both the presence and lack of parental love helps show how Rebecca grew up confused about love. Her mother loved her but didn't show it and her father, at times, indicated that he loved her but didn't.
  14. This scene is ultimately one of Rebecca's schemes falling apart. This helps echo a theme throughout the show that schemes and games are no way to have a true meaningful relationship.
  15. Silas does not go say goodbye to Rebecca. This again drives home that Silas is an unforgiveable character.

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
