gwynnegaSo much goodness this week. Jack reciting lines of opera in Italian to Mary and translating. (A scene that will later be echoed by the classic Jack/Siobhan La Traviata scene.) I loved the scene of Jack and Mary out on the balcony of his apartment, with his typewriter, and Mary pouring espresso from the little Italian coffee pot, and Jack talking about how the best stopping point in writing is in the middle of a sentence ("Hemingway and I both figured that out independently"). Such a great sense of everyday life in that apartment on Weehawken Street. And then ack!! Jack has to fuck it up by throwing the natural childbirth book off the balcony and pushing Mary away and being an utter creep.
Mary's first scenes with Tom Desmond! Too bad their first meeting had to be with awful Temp!Mary, but the first scenes between Mulgrew and Tom MacGreevy were lovely, and reminded me of how much I liked those two together, and how good their chemistry was. And it's so nice to see a man treating Mary kindly after Jack's horrible behavior.
I'd remembered well, and was looking forward to seeing again, the wonderful scene of Mary going into labor, and her excitement and Maeve's as they anticipate the new baby. What a classic scene.
Roger's Satanic grin when he blackmails Seneca into getting his job back, and when he tells Delia he still wants her back. The lip-pillows on Delia's bed! Pillows shaped like lips, on the pink round velvet bed with cherubs!! Heeeeee.

Delia: Oh, this is just great. Mary Perfect Ryan is a soulless thing, and I bet you still like her better than me, Maeve.
Maeve: Well...
Delia: I knew it! You're still going to take her side. I may have done a lot of awful things, but I've never been a vampire!
