Flack #8 - Flack, Don Flack

Tattoo?

Hi, I've been lurking for some months now and have finally decided to post a question.

In 'Charge of this post' when Mac is taking photos of Flack before he's bandaged I'm pretty sure there's a tattoo on his arm - not sure what it is though. But I've never seen it again even in 'You only live once' when we got a lovely opening sequence of Flack in his vest.

Was I imagining things??

 

^^ Hi, welcome to the forum and nope, your eyes are fine you didn't imagine anything. They covered his tattoo in YODO because it showed Eddie's girlfriend's name.

 

Thanks for that Lampdor. Thought I was going mad - even paused the dvd a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things!

Presumably his girlfriend isn't called Devon then?!

 

Urgh, can't believe Flack ran around calling Devon his girlfriend for that episode. Bad writers, bad, for making him say that!

No, his real life girlfriend is not named Devon, that would be ...weird?

 

^^Very weird.
Elsie, you always post the most beautiful pictures.

 

Does anyone else think it'd be great if we could see how Danny's grief is affecting his friendship with Flack? (Instead of just Lindsay...he does have friends you know... )

 

If I remember correctly, "All in the Family" pretty much covered that.

Flack bent the rules, which meant jeopardizing his job, for Danny by helping him find Ollie/Rikki and then letting Danny bring Rikki in to the precinct. He also told Danny "You're my friend, that makes it my business," when Danny told him he should've minded his own business. He then told Danny that he needed to forgive himself for Ruben's death.

Just because Flack was supportive and didn't make everything all about himself doesn't mean we haven't seen any affect on his relationship with Danny.

 

That's true, but what I meant was further along the line... who knows, if Danny's pushed Lindsay away, maybe he's pushed Flack away too. I'd love to see them in a scene together again - maybe out of work

 

I would say that Danny telling Flack to pretend he didn't see him outside the parole office, not answering Flack's phone calls after they split the list when they were looking for Ollie/Rikki, and telling Flack, "You should've minded your own business," after he brought Rikki into the precinct was pushing him away. And, technically, both Danny and Flack were off the clock and out of their work environment in AitF.

 

^nvm. You clearly don't get what I'm trying to say so forget it.

Hmm, but I do hope we get more Flack in the future I'd love to see more of his past and background to be brought in.

 

You're saying you want to see how Danny and Flack's relationship has been affected by Danny's grief and that you want to see it in a scene where they are outside of work. I said we already have seen both of those things. What's not to get?

Oh yeah. That's right, I forgot for a moment. Disagreeing = Not getting what someone is saying.

 

^You forgot the "further down the line" part.

I know we've seen that in AitF, what I'm saying is I want to see another scene down the road - Danny's situation has changed slightly, what with Rikki, and I want to see if that's affected any other of his relationships.

 

^ I think that Gaelen simply wants the show to explore how Danny's situation regarding Ruben's death and Rikki has changed the way he interacts with other characters too.

 

I see. Since Rikki wasn't mentioned, she didn't even cross my mind in regards to Flack's relationship with Danny.

I personally don't think Flack's and Danny's relationship will be affected by Danny's relationship with Rikki. Flack has shown himself to be supportive even when he doesn't agree with what Danny is doing, and I can't see Flack changing that because of or getting overly involved in discussing Danny's sex life - even if it is related to his grieving process. I don't think, at this point anyway, Danny's relationship with Rikki has affected his relationship with anyone other than Rikki
