I don't know Kris but I didn't expect it to be The Stewmaker. btw. I merged your posts cause you double posted.

Cooper's reaction was so sad. Do you think he feels like he failed her?

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-15-2016, 02:01 PM

Another double post?

Thanks for that! When I came online

was acting a bit weird but it got a lot better minutes later.

Yes, I think that Cooper indeed thinks he failed her

And I'm wondering if he somehow will blame Red.

Miranda · 04-18-2016, 12:19 PM

I don't think he will blame Red. I think he will blame himself that he let her work with Red and that he let her work for the task force and therefore put her life in danger.

But in the end, was it really his decision? But yeah, it maybe was... He was the one bringing the case and Red's offer to Diane and starting it all. He fought for it.

And therewith Liz got involved.

Yes he did. But I don't blame him for that. Without Cooper there wouldn't be a task force.

Me neither... But I'm really wondering how he'll be dealing with her death? Will it bring him closer to Charlene again maybe? Because he realizes that there is just one life and Liz was able to forgive Tom, so why isn't he able to forgive Charlene?

And on the other hand, will he think himself kind of responsible for it? Will it feel like he lost a daughter to him because we saw Liz mentioning to him that he is the closest she has for a real father.

I don't know if it will bring him closer to Charlene. He could also think that life is too short to let yourself get cheated at. I really don't know.

I just really hope that he won't blame himself for it cause there was nothing he could do about this. He was powerless.

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-21-2016, 05:05 AM

I as well can't say... But I bet that Charlene will be at the funeral because she knew Liz very well and she told Liz about Cooper although he didn't want anybody to know. I'm sure she'll be there and it'll be interesting to see how they interact. Do you think she'll try to comfort Cooper?

I somehow can't see Cooper blaming himself. I can't say why but he's a smart guy and he for sure knows that he isn't to blame for what happened.

Miranda · 04-21-2016, 09:38 AM

I think Charlene is going to be at the funeral too and she is obviously going to try to comfort Cooper and I think he will let her for that moment. It's not like he is going to fight with her at Liz's funeral.

Cooper is such a good man; stand up guy!

That's true... I'm wondering how she'll find out.

Oh, you know what I totally forgot to mention after last week's episode? That Aram somehow spilled to Ressler and Samar that Cooper is sleeping in his office

Any thoughts on that?

And yes, Cooper is. Although I hate that he gets Tom dragged back into that business when he should be there for Agnes.

That's true. Kid needs her daddy!

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-23-2016, 11:35 AM

See, exactly my point...

I'm really wondering when there was the turning point that made Cooper into the person he is now. I'm not sure if I like that. Him trying to handle a lot of business under the radar... I'm sure the new Tom 'mission' won't be approved either. And hey, Tom has a child to take care of now!

Harry Lennix was in Batman v Superman!

Lauren Helen Graham · 04-24-2016, 11:47 AM

Yes, he was! Did you see the movie, Cece?

I was planning on seeing it but then I got sick and here I am, hanging at home the whole time
