3x09 "Marionette" - Episode Discussion

"Quicker with a smile, but less intense."

I'd like to know what Peter meant by that.

Didn't make him think as much.

Heh: Altlivia will go home and think, yeesh, I had to smile all the time at that guy, Olivia must reallly be patient. And the men over there are really dumb.

And Frank will say, hmmm, why are you cranky again? When I left after you got out of the clinic, you were so sweet.

He better think of something nice to say to her.

Maybe, in a way, like the difference between Entertainment and Art.

(sometimes more difficult to get to, but always more substantial, rich and deep.)

intense, [ɪnˈtɛns], adj :
Deeply felt ; profound. Characterized by deep or forceful feelings.

This. (sorry, Lez, I was sure you knew what 'more intense' would mean.) And Olivia surely feels very deeply, she's just trained herself to hide it.

And Peter too really; both were abused. I hope they can both begin to heal soon.

This is the MIT t-shirt Olivia found in the washing machine.


And this is Peter's MIT shirt in Dream Logic.


Although it could just mean they couldn't find the original shirt... these are different.
She can burn the one with the red letters, and wear the grey letters one.

either one would remind her......... but she will be getting all new anyway, don't you think Broyles will spot her the money? Walter would want to shop for her, but that would be a terrible mistake

That's not Peter's then. Peter's in that photo that Lezario shows, is long sleeved and darker. Olivia's shirt is shortsleeved and a lighter grey.

I'm confused. Everybody was saying it was Peters, but could the shirt actually be Olivias and this brought it home, how Bolivia was living her life, in her clothes, in her apartment etc, when she saw the dirty laundry. Or did the props people get it really wrong, using the wrong shirts?

It's Peter's, it's inside out maybe-------or even a continuity glitsch. But it's meant to be Peter's. Her shirt wouldn't have sent her over the edge (she knows by then the fake's been wearing her clothes). But seeing that she had set up housekeeping with him--that's the last straw.

That's my opinion.

I'm sure they will heal, and get together for real, (there has to be more story than them suffering), I just hope that it doesn't drag out too long. I really miss how they worked together in the first season; sometimes I wonder if today's writers have even watched it.
