It certainly ends on a comedic note, stifling the conversation about love.<BR/><BR/>Whenever Hawk is present, there seems to be an excuse to talk of emotional and spiritual things, without judgment (unlike, say, the Log Lady who is seen as a little nutso).Jill E.

That rattling off of what's gon...Nicely done, Jill. That rattling off of what's gone on shows up (in one form or another) a few more times during the series, always to humorous effect. <BR/><BR/>Exposition is always a tricky little bugger; you don't want to be so 'Basil Exposition' (c'mon - you know who I'm talking about...) that the characters would be better off talking to the screen, but you don't want to lose casual viewers/repulse new ones. Doing it like this serves its purpose, while slyly teasing on it.<BR/><BR/>Remember, even the almighty LOST was guilty of bad expo in its first season; there was one episode when Sawyer pretty much said, "[name of character]? You mean the one who yada, yada, yada and did blah, blah, blah?" They've done a much better job of late, but they slip once and awhile.<BR/><BR/>But, I have to ask you - in the shooting scene - Hawk tells of how love for a woman can affect you. Then, Truman, loading his gun and shooting it while talking about his one true love, gets filmed from this heroic angle with the music swelling behind him (I know you just saw it - got carried away). Did you find that hokey or REALLY well done?<BR/><BR/>BTW, wait til you see THAT play out. God, I loved this show.Marc Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293532769174212726noreply@blogger.com
