Keepsakes

Oh, Faux Pax, all the feels! 😥

And his voice and that look in his eyes when he says “It catches nightmares? We should keep it.”

MRJ is SUCH a BRILLIANT actor. He broke my heart a million times last night. 😥

I know!!! That’s what is going to make the reunions so good. Can you imagine the big reveal between MRJ and Robert? The talent alone will set our screens on FIRE!! (maybe I shouldn’t watch that epp on my computer then… 😆 😆 )

Expecially given the point i made here: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1933&start=10

Sorry, the post was too long to retype and would seem slightly out of place if i copied and pasted.

But yeah, those two have a world of issues to work out…

ITA. Seriously, I was expecting a lot from yesterday’s episode, but it exceeded all my expectations.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Michael Raymond-James was out of this world last night. He could portray so many different emotions in the fewer than 20 minutes he was on screen – I was breathless. From all the swagger in the first scenes, to his genuine happiness and care when he was with Emma later on, to his intensity while making plans in the “All I really want is you” scene, to his sadness and tears when he finds out he’ll have to let go of Emma, and finally, his reaction to finding out Emma had been arrested – when August says “she took 11 months”, you can actually see him flying off the handle, with his “It should have been me“.

I mean… THIS, all of this intensity PLUS Robert Carlyle and their super-complicated storyline?

A dream come true. As simple as that.

(BTW, LOVED your post on the other thread. Bravo to all!)
