Running Mates
This would have been a much funnier episode in different circumstances. Docfraiser8 and I watched it together and then we watched it again on tape before she went home. Then I watched it again so that I could tape it on the west coast channels for her after I took her home. And these are my thoughts...
Martin in the beginning. I cried. I admit it. Like the over emotional woman who cries over a kitty dying in Bangledesh. It was totally involentary. I wasn't ready for that. And Johnny...I was gone.
I read that the teaser is the last thing John filmed, Chris Maisiano(sp) said that it was done a week before he died. I noticed the patches of burst veins on his cheeks and the difference in his eyes. Hindsight I know, but I saw it. There would have been a lot more laughing during this if I'd seen it without having to think about John being gone.
The breathing in the hotel room. That wasn't acting I don't think. And again, hindsight.
All the stuff between Leo and Annabeth was cute. Normally I wouldn't say that, but it was. The smirk. God.
Richard and Brad's scene. Ow. And I hope they don't feel bad for it. They shouldn't, but I winced.
The health care speech. Wow. I don't even know where to go with that. Because he was standing there saying all the things that I wish had happened.
There were a million other things, but I'm all befuddled right now.
All and all it was more emotional than I was expecting. It was Old School Leo, brought across the screen to us as only John Spencer could do it and I think it's a great memorial to his gift. In a way he will outlive us all. He's still there in all his glory even now.
This is a drawing I did this week of John Spencer. I'm kinda proud of it and the fact that he can inspire this only speaks to the awesome way he was able to connect with his audience. I still miss him, this man I never had the honor to meet. And I don't think that's gonna go away.
