rmHoly shit.
So is Neal the viewpoint character? Is the true quandry not whether Neal can be trusted, but whether Peter can?
Because I gotta tell you, right now? I don't trust Peter at all. Actually, I trust Peter some, but hot damn I'm angry at him. It's like how I have no time of day for people who can't keep their life vaguely organized but think they're entitled to some luscious little bevvy of subs calling them Master Whatever. Peter has done a fucking number of Neal's already screwed up head and now, in my book, he's obligated to actually give something of a shit about Neal on some level other than how useful/entertaining he is. Which means being a little bit careful of him. Whatever Peter's game is with Kate -- and remember, we only have his narrative of it to Neal -- is not being careful of Neal. And it's not okay! And here's the thing, like Neal, I want to like Peter. And I want to trust Peter.
But OMFGWTF is wrong with you, Peter?
Because, you know what, Peter is fucked up. He is, in fact, out of his damn mind regarding Neal and I'm not sure he even gets that, hence the shitty, careless, highly what the fuck behavior going on here as regards Neal's sanity and this Kate bullshit.
WOW, I am so pissed.
ANYWAY. Meanwhile. I still kinda hate the Kate plotline. Because I just can't see her and Neal together. But it is what it is, and it sure makes all the other dynamics way fascinating.
You know, I thought I had something intelligent to say here, but I could just go for screens on Neal's big eyes and his need for Peter to actually be what he says he is, so yeah. I'll shut up now.
Peter is being an asshole dom, and Neal's hanging himself with his own intelligence. And it's about Kate so they can avoid talking about it or some shit.
NOT COOL, PETER.
Also how much did I love Neal's "Just because I don't like guns doesn't mean I can't use one."

Date: 2010-03-18 04:34 am (UTC)And on a meta(*) level I kind of want things to get fucked up and broken with Neal and Peter so they can fix them because I want to watch that.
But on a Watsonian (?) level, god damn it Peter, you can't treat someone like that when you are... what you are to Neal.
* Doylist? Is this Doylist?
