Hodges & Wendy - Labrat Love #2, They "ARE" made for each other

Popped in just to say that if anybody wants the link to the commentaries can pm me...I'm the one who uploaded the videos -from my own duly paid collection, didn't steal anything from anyone.

I advise also to search the deleted scene from "One to go"...that's definitely enigmatic....still wonder what the heck it means....

Oh, it's April 4th here, so happy easter to everybody!

 

Was the "One to Go" deleted scene the one where she commented on the color of his couch out of nowhere? Because yeah, that was definitely interesting.

Happy Easter to you, too!

As I read my CSI novels, I'll post if there's anything else Wedges in them, btw.

 

We spent more than a page of the thread trying to figure out what they were hinting at...(Obsession is our second name I suppose...twelve pages about 5 scenes together in the whole season 1o plus two deleted scenes in the previous one!)

Anyway the main takes were:

1. Hodges said it was a sleeper sofa suggesting there was room for two and her reply meant basically "You wish"
2. Hodges said it was a sleeper sofa and she underlined that it wouldn't be used for sleeping at all. The second take implied an ongoing relationship. Maybe TPTB had ther idea of getting them together and then dropped it.

 

*laughs* We've been talking about a half-millisecond of a promo for about two pages, so I'm not really surprised. We haven't been given enough to not obsess over little scenes.

Well, for a while they've been doing the back and forth with this snarky-or-not-snarky. Some scenes are interesting (like the deleted one) and others are the typical snark-fights. Which just causes confusion because you can never tell whether they're irritated at each other this season or not.

 

I began having some suspects about their relationship right after "Space Oddity"...There was the "She's fast but she's thorough" comment that has always sounded like a double meaning to me -and Wendy's face didn't tell the contrary lol

Then, the scene around the burnt car in All In...I don't know, they were too much at ease with each other, their attitude towards each other was different from usual...

Then the scene together in "Death and the maiden"...One of the things that bother me this season is that they aren't having scenes together alone; it's like we don't have to know what their relationship is really like. The only scene together alone is this, and is very quite and strange, I mean, where did all the competition, the snarkiness, the intellectual fighting, the aloofness go? I was very surprised to see Wendy showing herself sad and frial in front of Hodges. Very, very surprised.

I hope Field Mice will reveal if and waht happened after Space Oddity...Certainly their relationship has changed and they know that. Even Hodges, which is definitely something.

 

I don't remember the first point (from the episode, that is), but they're all very good ones, riddick. Something is different.

Space Oddity was something new for them. It was like they realized that they had a lot more in common than they thought. And the longer the episode went on, the more whatever feelings they have got pushed forward. SO was kind of like something that forced a light on their interactions and forced them to see a bit deeper into their individual feelings.

Wendy was in a bit of denial, because let's be honest here, at times Hodges is kind of a jackass. She didn't want to like him, so she convinced herself that she didn't. In SO she realized it, whether she wanted to or not.

Hodges knew of his crush on Wendy, but didn't seem to realize what he had done wrong as far as she was concerned. When she confronted him in SO, he had no choice but to think long and hard about the way he acts.

I think that once SO kicked both of them out of those previously-set comfort zones, their interactions became less competitive and antagonistic because of those feelings. I think that both of them realized that they had to be a little less defensive around each other, and I think that's why Wendy was comfortable enough to be so raw around Hodges in DatM. I think that SO opened her eyes a lot, like I said before, and I think she finally realized that he's not intentionally being a jerk. I think she also realized that any time he's hurt her, it hasn't been malice. She can be upset around him because he's not looking for reasons to antagonize her; he legitimately wants to help her because he "wants her to be happy". So their interactions have been more subdued because they've both realized that they can- and sometimes should.

Do I think that theories that they're already together are accurate? No. Do I think that there's been a significant change in their relationship and their behavior towards each other? Definitely.

Spoiler: Shot from 8-ep promo

I've been thinking about that shot, and for some reason I just don't think that it's from Field Mice. I'm just thinking about the promo pics that we've gotten from FM and the information on the general plot, and for some reason I just haven't thought of a reason that they'd be in one of their labs in their labcoats.

 

Well, if we don't have enough new stuff, we might as well go back and tear apart every other millisecond of screentime. :lol:

I didn't really like SO because of the fantasies which were, IMO, a bit overdone. However, I loved it for the little scene at the end when they figure out what the murder weapon was and then awkwardly shake hands. Because there was a reason for the awkwardness- like you said, DJ, they found that comfort zone in this episode, and, ironically, for the rest of that episode there was a lot of discomfort. The good news is that they seem to have left that discomfort behind, at least for now.

Spoiler: Upcoming

I'm not saying that I don't want that scene to be in Field Mice (because unless it's in Irradiator it will be much too far away for my liking), and I completely know where you're coming from with the worry that it will be a deleted scene. Because that would be just like CBS.

If they did delete that scene, they'd have a very, very unhappy fangirl on their hands.

 

I went and watch the promo. Even without dialogue IMO they are hinted at H/W as something. How much or how little who know. But do notice that they are framed close together and extra framed by the car door. I can´t wait to "hear" the dialogue. Please DJ do your magic when you have the time

 

Well I think my obsession with this ship is founded in the fact that IMO Hodges is the last querk(?) left since Griss and IMO the best aspect of LV is the querks(?). With out that the show would be CSI Miami:guffaw::guffaw:. Do note that my other ship is from Miami.:guffaw:
Back on track the other characters from LV is intriguing and fun and I love the show but Hodges and Labrats is the best parts of the show. IMO they are allowed more banter and comic lines then the (A) - characters.

So every scene with Hodges is good for the show and for me:lol::lol:. Hence the nitpicking of scenes

 

So, deeper into obsession..About Wendy

a. As I already said, I LOVE the way she acts with jerky machos who hit on her...She displays so much loathe and despisement that it makes me appreciate how patient and tolerant she manages to be towards Hodges. How come he doesn't realize that no matter how jerk he could have been, he always got a second chance with her, a woman who can have almost any man by clapping hands?? He' so clever and SO DULL!

b. Anytime I watch Wendy's fantasy at end of SO I cannot help noticing that she's trying to come to terms with Hodges' inhibitions about working together and having an affair. She had asked him out, so she surely didn't have the same kind of doubts as he. He does indeed, and it's like she "reconsiders" the whole thing in order, once again, to give him the time and the possibilty to understand.

I wonder if she actually spent the last year waiting patiently and how this makes her feel right now...

 

WENDY: You are the dumbest smart guy I know.

It's funny cuz it's true. She knows it and tells him and he still can't figure it out and it's been almost two years. :lol:

She's probably so patient when it comes to him because she knows he's not really trying to be a jerk. He just sometimes kinda is. Although all emphasis still goes on "brilliant but stupid."
