We all wanted the 'I love my Big Mac' t-shirts. Here for Valentine's Day is Mac wearing a t-shirt just for us.
He's thinking of us as he wears it, wondering just how he's gonna fit us all in to his special Valentine's Day plans.
I watched SuperMen today, and I noticed two things that I really liked. A while ago, we were talking on here about how the death of innocent people really gets to Mac sometimes, giving e.g.'s like Oedipus Hex, Blink, Supply and Demand. I think we see it in SuperMen too, Mac is really bothered by the death of the mentally disabled guy who only wanted to help people. When Docks (sp?) the orderly calls Clark a 'retard' you can see how disgusted Mac is, and you can hear it in his voice when he says 'You had no trouble killing him then'. Another thing I really liked is how Mac treats people who are often considered inferior - the mentally ill and the homeless - with respect. He talks to the other men in the psych hospital just as though they're completely sane, only he uses a gentle tone with them at the same time, which to me shows respect. He doesn't talk loudly or slowly like they're stupid, just gently like he would to any other people who were friends of a victim. And though he's a bit terse with Clark's brother Steve at first because Steve lied to Clark, once Mac finds out why, he's much gentler, and polite and respectful to Steve. At the end, it's Mac who offers his hand to shake and tells Steve 'Good luck', in a way that's sincere/genuine, not at all patronizing. I watch him in scenes like this, and wonder how anyone can find him 'cold'. Oh, and one final thing I really like is that this ep shows what a loyal guy Mac is. He says to Stella, before he knows why Steve lied to Clark 'What kind of man lies to his brother?' and then to Docks at the end he says 'Clark was your friend', the obvious implication being that you don't kill/betray your friends, and he seems really disgusted when Docks calls Clark a 'retard' and says he was 'only paid to care'. Mac obviously believes in being loyal to your friends and family, and he is always loyal to his team.
Awww, and the image of lil Mac running around in fatigues is sooooooooo cute. And the image of Big Mac (
) in fatigues is very yummy and gutter-thoughts inducing. :devil:
