the Echolls TWoP Clash Of The Tritons:
p1 Veronica starts chatting up a guy next to her in glasses and an MIT sweatshirt, and with a chessboard on his lap. With the geeky glasses and general build this kid has, he looks like he could be Arthur on Six Feet Under's younger brother. I suppose, from an age-equivalency point of view, that means he should hook up with Lynn Echolls. Not to spoil you or anything, but you might want to get on that. that seems very cbaron.
p14. Lynn and Logan are waiting outside Clemmons's office when Haaron shows up. He asks Lynn what the plan was -- sweeten up the divorce settlement?' Lynn bites out: 'Did it ever occur to you I just want to hurt you like you've hurt me?' Logan sarcastically asks if he's going to live with 'Grandma,' but the hurt gets through the sarcasm a little. Haaron snarls that if Lynn tries to divorce him, he'll leave her with nothing. Haaron starts to detail all the ways he'll ruin Lynn, but Logan interjects that if Haaron says another word, Logan will kill him. Haaron looks intimidated, apparently a believer in the saying 'Like father, like son.'
hmm? Lynn says she can't take any more of this, and stalks off. After a beat, Haaron gets up as well. And either Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin have had some marital strife they can channel, or they're better actors than I thought. Also, I wasn't sure about this stuntcasting, but the three episodes these two have been in this one, it's preceding AEFC, and the earlier one where we saw Aaron beat on his son have been some of the best of the series so far, and the Echolls family is shaping up to be far more interesting than I would have originally guessed.
Lynn marches out to her car (which bears the license plate "Echolls2"), gets in, and pops some pills. Given what's about to happen, I'm starting to sense a "drugs are bad" message here. Given my obvious like of the show, I'm going to ignore said message. A Vicodin would really help with that.
