You Talkin to Me, Roderick?

You Talkin to Me, Roderick? by Roxanne McDonald

Wow! Taxi Driver, Sybil, and Fall of the House of Usher all in one wee-one-hour episode!

Is there something in the water? In the slop? We see how Nick is, okay, pissed about this and that and saying no more Mr. Nice Guy so he dons a quasi-thug scarf look. But then,

then, and I am sitting her alone as I laugh nervously and yell out loud that yes, he is actually doing a Travis Bickle Taxi Driver shave his head to suggest his psycho is coming OUT.

Eric may be starting to lose some screws, too, as he also gets the razor taken to his head…though he ends up with more of a PeeWee Herman meets future Travis look.

But looks aren’t all that are pointing to something killer, deadly, or demented and dangerous:

Dick again comes down on Jen, telling her in his disgusted way that she is a scumbag who uses people, only cares abouyt herself, and something something Saddam Hussein. Of course, the either incredibly thick or truly sociopathic narcissist barely bats an eyelash at all of this, saying how she certainly wouldn’t use such words about herself, and that his bad energy is only hurting or going to hurt him.
But then, true to form, the conversation concludes like this:

Jen: Keep at it. Keep at it…. I’m wonderful to myself and that’s all I care about.
Dick: Riight.

Whoooo doggie.

Jen then apologizes to Daniele that Daniele had to endure that rudeness…her whole life; and this pisses off Daniele who says Jen “is a very rude person” who has no clue what she had to go through in actuality.

Amber has the suffering (or the expression in response to suffering market cornered, however, so the rest of them can forget about any kind of self- or other pity: Amber is of course crying the tears of ancestors, now, she must be, for she has not stopped sobbing and the intensity of her tears can only be accounted for or justified as her crying out for the universal woes, the impoverished, the crippled, the

abandoned, the accident and natural disaster victims, the rape and incest victims, the domestic, spousal, and parental abused.

Woop. Wait. Nope. She’s crying bec.bec.because someone has been nominated for eviction! The hohhrrror.

Maybe she should cry for the cowardice that is the group as a whole. The drive to get rid of Kail and Jen gets so emphatically strong, and they get so vocal about it as the week begins, and then they buckle and cower and cow-tow to some odd consensus.

Besides coming creepily close to doing a walk-by [which we leave to Dick who has thus far made it to dumping a glass of iced tea on Jen’s head], wasn’t he mostly innocuous?

Did the Mohawk make them change their minds?

Will Kail endure to whimper and wheezle?
Will Jen continue on, content in her curdled and egomaniacal ways?

Will Commissioner Gordon put a stop to all this dastardly dynamic?

Just watching I feel closer to the edge of the abyss than all of them combined.
