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.

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
