"The problem, of course, was that people did not seem to understand the difference between right and wrong. They needed to be reminded about this, because if you left it to them to work it out themselves, they would never bother. They would just find what was best for them, and then they would call that the right thing. That's how most people

I almost did this prompt for Alex because it's so perfect for Gene... And then I didn't because it's so perfect for Gene. So I'm glad you did it.

I love this, though. These little glimpses into Gene's psyche are wonderful, as is his struggle to do the right thing through that whole mess.

2x07 still makes me cry. :(

Oh, man, I know what you mean about it being Gene - I almost did it for Martha, too, but I felt like I just had to use it for him.

I think the whole...moral grey area is just a really fascinating aspect of him, because it's probably where he has the most character growth. Or...um...something. (Sometimes I say things that sound analytical and intelligent, but I really have no idea what I'm talking about - it's how I made my way through lit classes.)

:( Me too. And I can't find any icons of Gene and Chris - I really ought to ask Pixie, lol.

No, I know what you're on about and I completely agree. It's like, he has his own idea of right and wrong and then this idea of how the rest of the world perceives right and wrong and his job forces him to justify it and it's always a constant struggle. (Alex has a more insulting way of putting that but I told her to sod off.)

Pixie has found me ALL of my Alex and Chris icons, so she's a good source. And she just put up a post with lots of icons from 3x01, but there's not Chris and Gene. Sadness. :(
