*skids in* can NOT let mac fall to the bottom of the page!!
*waves* hi guys!! sorry i've been kinda absent-ish..........been (still am :shifty
buried under homework
. buuuuuuuuuuuut, due to some lightning bolt epiphanies from this week's past ep, i noticed something rather remarkable, fascinating, disturbing, and intriguing about mac this season. i'm sure we can all agree that he seems different (i could go on a whole expose and link all sorts of moments, lines, etc together on a specific theory i have, but that's a whole other loooooooooong post!). suffice to say that even on a surface level, his appearance seems to be matching whatever he's dealing with emotionally. *coughs and propounds theoretical question* now we all love our mac in black/dark clothes
drool::drool::drool
, but face it, have we
ever seen him in either straight up black, or one of those so-close-it-almost-looks-black clothes nearly every single episode? the point struck me so forcibly that i went back and checked: except for eps 2 and 3, there hasn't been a single ep this season where he hasn't worn black or something pretty darn close. collected proof:
who can forget 'epilogue'?! - 6.01
'dead reckoning' - 6.04
'battle scars' - 6.05
'it happened to me' - 6.06
'hammer down' - 6.07
'cuckoo's nest' - 6.08
'manhattenhenge' - 6.09
'death house' - 6.10
'second chances' - 6.11
'criminal justice' - 6.12
'flag on the play' - 6.13
last but definitely not least as it was this episode which prompted this epiphany, 'sanguine love' -6.14 (i took stills from the entire ep on this one so the clickies will take you to my entire pb album for this ep
)
draw from this what you will. having gone back through the current season 6 basically all at once, it doesn't seem nearly as disjointed and aimless before, with all the breaks between eps............at least not with mac. and i must say, a lot of his actions and lines make waaaaaaaay more sense now! i could almost go on an ep by ep case study drawing a character/emotional development on him now tying all sorts of seemingly disconnected things together. well, at least they certainly seemed disconnected to me as the season has progressed, until i started smooshing things together and filtering out some of the little side thingies they've had going on.
