melts in your mouth: I can't help but think Derek Hale went OOC last night.

venivincere:

In 1981 when I was 15 years old, my dad passed away suddenly from a heart attack. In the last 30-odd years I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the following dream, or similar: my family and I are called back to the house I grew up in by my mom, only to find that my dad’s…

You make a very good point. And really, I don’t think we’ll know how the rest of that scene plays out until next week. It’s possible he’ll deal with Ms. Blake then go immediately to Cora and have a tearful reunion.  If that happens, I’ll feel much better about what happened last night.  It just kills me to see him hurting, and then, watching him behave in a way that didn’t make sense to me… :-(

I can’t help but think Derek Hale went OOC last night.

In 1981 when I was 15 years old, my dad passed away suddenly from a heart attack. In the last 30-odd years I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the following dream, or similar: my family and I are called back to the house I grew up in by my mom, only to find that my dad’s come back. He wasn’t dead, he’d never died — it was all a misunderstanding, or he had to leave because he was wrapped up in some super spy business and needed to keep us safe. In one memorable dream, he’d run off and deserted us, but was recently found out by a family friend and he was home, deeply ashamed and apologetic beyond belief, but home.

In every single one of those dreams, no matter what happened that he left, no matter how angry I was, no matter how much I hated him for the choices he made that tore him away from us, all i wanted to do was hold him tight and never let him go again.  No matter how much it hurt, I wanted to know everything. His life, the people in it, what he’d been doing, how much he missed us. And I needed him to hear everything that had been going on with me while he’d been gone. Every dream, I would go almost hysterical until I could get my son in front of him, and inroduce him to his grandchild.

He was my dad, and the thought that he could go away again terrified me, and in every dream I’ve had like this, I had an almost pathological need to catch up on every single iota of experience during those missing years immediately.

So watching Derek last night, my first reaction was, “No. That’s not right. He could never so cavalierly suggest killing Cora.”  And then, when the sun came up, I couldn’t understand at all how he wasn’t running for Cora, how he wasn’t scooping her up in his arms and sobbing fit to flood the Nile, how he wasn’t immediately forgiving her for not seeking him out during those nine years, or for attacking him the night before with intent to kill.  If he was truly the devastated man we saw when he first recognized who Cora was in S3E02, he would have been on his knees, rocking Cora in his arms, and there wouldn’t have been a dry eye in any MTV-watching household that night.

The Seikilos Epitaph

Performed by SAVAE

An Ancient Greek tombstone dated between 200 BC and 100 AD, it contains the world’s oldest piece of music that survives complete. The epitaph receives its name from its inscription that reads,

“I am an image on stone. Seikilos placed me here as an everlasting sign of deathless remembrance”

Along with the musical notation, are these lines of poetry meant to accompany the music.

Ὅσον ζῆς φαίνου

μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ

πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν

τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ

“As long as you live, Shine.

Be completely without grief;

For life is only for a short while,

And time demands an end”

Kerry Washington repping as the only WoC in THR's TV Actress Roundtable

  • The Hollywood Reporter:

    What's your worst audition?

  • Connie Britton:

    "We just didn't get you."

  • Anna Gunn:

    "We just didn't respond to you."

  • Monica Potter:

    I'd just had my last kid..I was pushing like 180 pounds at the time. I'm like, "You guys, I just don't feel physically fit yet." I had my Spanx on and looked like a damn sausage, but I went in and thought I did a really good job. I got home and get the call from my agents. I'm like, "I did good, right?" And they say, "You did great. The problem is you're just …" "I'm too fat." "Yeah, we're just going to wait a little bit." I said, "I already told you this!" The weight thing is a crappy thing in this town, you know?

  • Elizabeth Moss:

    On the first season of "Mad Men," I had to wear a fat suit and prosthetic makeup to make me look bigger.... We all have this perception of what we're supposed to look like. But that's what's so great about all these women here today: We're all completely different-looking, you know? We're all beautiful, but real women.

  • Connie Britton:

    I agree. I've never had somebody say to me that I needed to look a certain way for a role, but I've always lived in dread of what that would be like. It's our responsibility to play these full-fledged women, and to play women who look like people we actually see in life. It's more interesting, and I think audiences appreciate it, too.

  • Kerry Washington:

    It's a little bit different for me because I'll audition for something and they'll just decide that they're not going "ethnic" with a character, which I hear a lot.

  • The Hollywood Reporter:

    Casting directors still use the word "ethnic"?

  • Kerry Washington:

    If not "black," then yeah. People have artistic license … that's what casting is: fitting the right look to the right character. Whereas you could maybe lose some weight, there's not really anything I can do, nor would I want to, about being black.
