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 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
