I remember once reading in a screenwriting book about how story is always based on conflict – even if everyone has the same goal, as long they have different ideas of how to go about it, there’s more than enough conflict to fuel an interesting story. I don’t think these guys will become boring anytime soon.
Though actually I thought that Regina did get pretty boring as a character when Cora was around – there wasn’t enough conflict, she’d just decided to go along with whatever her mother wanted to do. I think it was Ruth Bell Graham who once said ‘when two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.’ That’s how I felt about Regina during the Cora arc – the problem I had wasn’t that she got dark, but that she got boring. I don’t think that’ll be a problem now though. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
[adrotate group="5"]I don’t watch a lot of tv, and my movie viewing is pretty limited too – but I did see Human Trafficking. I remember noticing his character because there was something in his haircut and facial structure that reminded me of a friend of mine from college – who also played a Russian character, though it was a student film and kind of cheesy (the pun was that he was George, from Georgia, and before he was introduced everyone was making redneck jokes until he showed up as a clear ‘Eastern European’ – which probably would have been funnier if the college wasn’t IN Georgia). I remember though all I really thought was ‘well, at least they cast a real Russian with a good accent instead of [my friend]’s goofy fake one.
When I started watching Once, it never even registered that it was the same guy until I saw someone talking about that role of his in some forum. After all, I’d just assumed he actually was Russian and put it out of my mind. Now I want to see it again…
