Storywise, there was no purpose for this - although writers usually know not to do that!! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we got it, but still...<br /><br />And I do think Eames was "Daddy's Girl". But her dad has grown bitter after being caught for double dipping and his wife dying...TJarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177957411852885356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140065606725329145.post-59227736717351975082011-06-10T06:17:54.797-07:002011-06-10T06:17:54.797-07:00I like to think longer about that idea:

There are certainly no ODAs (Open Display of Affection) from this woman. I’m starting to think that it’s not just Goren who has survived a difficult upbringing.</i><br /><br />It would be great ff stuff, when thinking a little longer.<br /><br />I also need to check the NOT eye contact again. I didn't catched that.havershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677067738370557658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140065606725329145.post-20561810942561293862011-06-09T19:34:32.048-07:002011-06-09T19:34:32.048-07:00Idk, the way Bobby seems to be comfortable in the ...Idk, the way Bobby seems to be comfortable in the home, and how Johnny refers to him as "Bobby" and stuff, gave me the impression that Goren visits often enough... Out of respect for Mr. Eames, I think Bobby calls him that way; Eames's father seems to be "old school"...<br />As for the "no grandchildren", that was totally messed up, yet it made me laugh. I think his idea of an 'accomplished woman' is for her to have a husband and kids (not just a gun and badge). By him saying such a statement, I think he wasn't simply referring to children, but to a "normal life" (i.e. one with a husband and children). I don't think the writers forgot about her surrogacy...<br /><br />"Now normally Goren and Eames would exchange glances after a comment like that from a suspect, but Goren looks down before that can happen."-- nice catch!<br /><br />As usual Suzanne, I love your analysis :D<br /><br />-MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140065606725329145.post-28693310747260356872011-06-09T09:02:47.375-07:002011-06-09T09:02:47.375-07:00Very interesting scene, in so many ways.

I would have thought he would more likely comment on the fact that she gave up a chance at being made captain. Or did the writers forget she gave birth to father's grandchild?<br />At least he liked Goren.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts on this scene. It was good to finally meet Eames' father. <br /><br />Susan<br />Sbramlav@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
