truepennyTIME: 25 min.
DISTANCE: 3 mi.
TOTAL DISTANCE: 144.4 mi.
DISTRACTION: 2nd half of "The Giuco Piano Affair" (this time I checked the spelling, but it still looks wrong)
NOTES: Napoleon always, always kisses back. Even when he shouldn't.
SHIRE RECKONING: Still in Chetwood.
What I like about this episode--as opposed to the things that pain me--is the fact that the villains, Gervaise Ravel and Harold Bufferton, are genuinely in love with each other. And not in the scenery chewing, "Darling, I love you when you're evil" way that one might expect. Bufferton's love for Gervaise is cynical and clear-eyed and self-sacrificing, and her love for him doesn't change the fact that she's ruthless, power-hungry, and amoral. It's oddly beautiful, and it's not even the point of the episode. It's just there.
