Thanks for opening, Twisty! Adore this episode.

I'm at a hotel but will try to rewatch and post my thoughts tonight. some of my favorite scenes ever are on this episode

***Chris*** · 09-21-2013, 01:32 PM

This was a terrific episode! Loved Allison pushing her hubby down the stairs! Then torturing him with a hot glue gun!

It was fun to see Beth impersonate Allison. I'll admit to being surprised that Paul could take Vic in a fight. Curious to see where things will go now that the guys know about each other, and about the clones. Having Paul inspect Allison's neck for Sarah's scar was a nice touch. Oh, and Felix as bartender!

Won't be watching tonight, as I've got a UConn/Michigan football game to watch.

But I'll probably rewatch this tomorrow as it's one of my faves. That "Lovefool" scene will forever be the death of me.

The song and the way it's shot and the circling and the sunlight and the awkward smiles like can we not.

It's so perfect in so many ways.

:

Accidentally pushing him down the stairs wasn't enough. She had to torture him too.

From memory putting the glue on Donnie was an accident right? Cause she looks surprised at herself. And then she just goes for it.

I'll rewatch this one on my flight to miami tonight so I'll post my notes tomorrow. can't wait

It really is.

- Donnie is a crappy husband. No wonder Alison hit him over the head and tortured him.

- I love that smile and wave Cosima gives Delphine in the library.

Sorry guys, from here on out I cannot hold back the Cosima&Delphine fan in me. There may be a lot of gushing in future episode discussions. ~~Not sorry~~
- The look on Alison's face when she's spinning around the scissors and holding them threateningly is really very worrying. But I love Alison's reaction to all her actions. She's so shocked with herself when she hits him over the head, pushes him down the stairs and gets him with the glue gun.

- God those globs of hot glue look painful. Major kudos to Donnie. His ability to hold it together is impressive.
- Even when making an off limits sign Alison has to make sure that it's perfect.

Gotta love her.
- "I hate yoga." Drunk!Alison is so great.

"Why don't you go check the cracker cupboard!"
- I love Sarah practicing her Alison voice.

Sarah standing up to Donnie for Alison is the best.

I love that she wouldn't let Donnie speak about Alison like that.
- Bartender!Felix.

- "You're the only person I can talk to and you're just another version of me." Oh Alison, so cute.

- Cosima's smile as she steals the bottles of wine.

The whole Lovefool scene is perfection. "After a jogging." Adorable. And that dazed look as Delphine walks away, Cosima, you got it bad girl.

- Smart move for Paul to check for Beth's scar. Paul means business with the nail gun!

- Donnie's college fling when he and Alison broke up is probably when they turned him into her monitor.
- Why does Paul put the drink back into the cupboard? The pills he mixed up are still in there.

Yeah, this is probably my favourite episode.
