Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

[Adventureless_Hero]

You guys are all going to feel so stupid when the truth about Scratch is revealed.

The truth being?

[VEE]

What you fail to remember is that weapon wasn't named for his wife it was HER gun. That piece was her favorite weapon he carried it as he would carry the last thing on earth that was hers with him it was a piece of her like an extension of her soul/body. Burt and Shirley didn't have kids, he had nothing left in the world to hold on to that reminded him of what she was and who she was other then that weapon. The finger was nothing he can over come it any good marksmen can and will over come with time a handycap like the loss of a trigger finger. But the loss of the desert eagle will be hard. Part of me is glad it happened like Osi said maybe now he'll grieve her and let her go and find something to live for in what's left of the world now.

No, it still doesn't ring true for me, it was just too much, regardless of any emotional attachment. On re-listening it wasn't just Bill, Scratch was over he top in that small section as well. This is how it sounded to me, others may well feel it was bang on.

The truth being?

That she's really not as evil as you're all hoping she is. So she smashed a gun and lopped off a finger to get the truth about where the piece of shit that killed her brother ran off to. I'd have done worse for the information, no question. Not to mention the way she's been treating a certain pregnant woman... let's all conveniently over-look the fact that she's saved her, is caring for her, and protecting her. That heartless slag.

I agree I hope we at least get to know her real name.

Ghosts are like that.

Grief does fuck up things to people. Everyone deals with grief in different ways this is how Burt dealt with his grief.

I know there is something more there. Its making me crazed I want to know more about her I was hopeful on this episode there was more to hear about her and her past. She was someone's little girl once. I want to know what happened.

I agree, and it's what I've been saying since day one. I just can't get into her character because of how overplayed it is. Even when she is supposed to be mellow or soft spoken, it's overdone.

And the cackling in the scene....Jesus. "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!"


Her voice reminds me of Kristin Wiig's character in the skit below.

I hope we never do. It would destroy the picture you all seem to have of some psychopath that probably tortured small animals when she was 8. Let me tell you what she was like at that age. She had her hair in a ribbon, she skipped down sidewalks in a little yellow and pink dress, and she loved her mommy. Just like everyone else.

That's how I picture her as well. Not as a budding psychopath but as a little girl with sausage curls and a doll. I still want to know her name she's the most heart breaking of all the characters.
