I love the dynamic in the show now. I like that Fee is the younger brother. I feel like we don't see enough shows where the female character's brother is younger, like, he always has to be the ~protective older brother~ and it's more interesting to see a sibling dynamic this way -- where the younger sibling is super protective and not like, annoying and stuff, you know?

Exactly. It's a very unique relationship, and I think will always be my favorite on the show.

Agreed. I feel bad for the guy that originally got it, but the dynamic they have now is perfect. I can't imagine Felix being the older protective brother.

Oh yeah. Those are always super interesting.

Felix had some great lines this episode. "I've seen where that hand's been."

I've had a mental blank when he said that line

I'm glad he hasn't lost his snark.

But I'm a little angry at how he (and Sarah) are leaving Alison in her time of need like that.

But they need to get away from people..

Yeah, his flaws are coming to the surface more this season.

Although he's not quite as crass as Sarah, he does share that quality, and I'm glad they're not ignoring that.

I don't fault him for leaving, but the demeaning way he spoke to Alison about it wasn't cool.

Less Than Perfect · 04-26-2014, 09:27 PM

Agreed. Alison/Felix are meant to be a lot closer this season and you could feel it earlier in the episode, but the way he spoke to her in the end?

I understand that Felix doesn't want to get left behind by Sarah again, but he of all people should understand how Alison is feeling.

It definitely wasn't. But then again, hasn't Felix always kind of looked down on Alison, somewhat? We're just seeing that rise to the surface again here.

I think he sympathizes with her on a certain level, but I don't think he sees her as a fully-realized, capable person.

Less Than Perfect · 04-26-2014, 09:35 PM

He hardly puts up a fight when Alison says that everyone thinks she's useless.

Definitely. I think we tend to forget it because they have such fun scenes together, but even Jordan's said that Felix kind of looks down on Alison.

That makes me so sad cause they were doing better.
