Kimber seems to be one of the ones who is no less in my eyes now than before. She's a character I will not care too much about, and suddenly she'll be my favorite...
Yeah, but occassionally she just surprises me by having so much faith in things, like her faith in Christian, her faith in his being strong or being good which is . . . frankly ridiculous of her. But it's really endearing that she is so forgiving and so strong herself, and it doesn't come off as naievety, somehow.
The thing with Sean, to me, is that he came in as the most principled and moral character - and there have been a ton of tests here and there and there are a lot that he fails and he pisses me off when he does. When Christain passes a moral test, it's impresses me because he's generally such a horrible person. I think then, for me, it's sort of soft bigotry of low expectations...
See, that doesn't seem . . . quite fair. I guess my moral compass has them all lined up evenly, and with Sean I see him struggling always towards the top of the ladder, and Christian, even if he's trying to work his way up, still keeps sliding further and further toward the bottom . . . Like what he did to get out of jail? Was monstrous, and that's the kind of thing he continues to do: that's Christian. And Sean is just torn, that's his worst sin, that he isn't sure where his alliances lie, he isn't sure who he can trust . . . and he shouldn't be, because his best friend and his wife are just horrible, horrible people. Julia, she would be the one I would punch. I just hate her so, so much; she's the most self-serving character on the show, I swear to God, the fucking martyr. I hate that.
And, wow, look at me soap boxing all over your journal. Apologies.
