After this episode Dana is officially the most annoying character in the history of televison. I can't stand her.
I really hope that she will get killed at some point in the near future or at least ship to boarding school.
I actually got scared of Carrie's face. I mean Claire is very beautiful women, but her crazy Carrie face looks like someone from other planet.
Claire Danes is just amazing in this role. She gives EVERYTHING to Carries craziness even if she looks bad, I mean not pretty. I think for a young actress it´s only logical to "save" some of her femininity and try not to look all snotty and dirty. Yet Claire gives Carrie a rawness and darkness that´s far from her usual cheery and pretty self. In Hollywood it´s so usual to see characters that are supposedly suffering a lot....but always composed and made up, and with their hair carefully blown. Carrie is a mess inside and outside and that´s a brilliant job by the actor. She deserves every award, past present and future.
Well, yes and no. She is also more intelligent that most people and has performed exceedingly well at her job. So if she's not typical, it's really questionable to call her a mess. Like Sal so wisely said, she is both the smartest AND the most stupid.
In a way, it's hilarious, here we have a female Jack Bauer and the only way we can be made to believe this of a woman is that she has a mental disorder - that explains her crazed gaze and her extreme focus. And then when she does excel at the outer limits of human ability - we call her a mess inside and out. Simply because she does not have measured movements and her hair isn't styled.
It says something about our perception of women and their role in society, doesn't it?
EDIT: Realized this became a bit confrontational. I really think you have a good point - and also thought provoking![]()
