Paul Hennessy Goes To The Store For Milk 8 Simple Rules S1E4 // S1E16 // S2E4 // S2E5

Bridget: He was supposed to be back in ten minutes. [tearfully] He was running a stupid errand. He was supposed to be back, and he was taking us to school. [sighs] Kerry: Remember when we were little? Mom and Dad used to go out, and we wouldn't want them to, and they'd say, "Well, what do you know about mommies and daddies?" And we would say... "They always come back." Bridget: Unless they collapse in Aisle 3 of the stupid grocery store. Kerry: [quietly] Yeah.

When Niall gave up his memories in Greywaren, he gave up his own story.  What does a story-telling man do who when he hasn't got a story of his own?   He makes one up.

Here are some descriptions of Niall in TRC.

Niall was handsome and charismatic and rich and mysterious (Gansey's POV RB chpt 7)

And

Niall Lynch was a braggart poet, a loser musician, a charming bit of hard luck bred in Belfast but born in Cumbria . . . Niall was a rogue and a fiend . . . a scoundrel (Ronan's POV TDT prologue)

Ronan's description Niall is remarkably similar to that of Greenmantle, who refers to Niall as "Bastard" and "Loser" and "Fucking Braggart" in BLLB. It's funny how Ronan's opinion of Niall is closer to Greenmantle's than Gansey's. Which indicates Ronan didn't idolize Niall nearly as much as Declan thought (and Gansey had a crush on Niall). But none of it sounds like the anxious, people-pleasing young man who loved Mór in Greywaren.

The New Fenian says that both Mór and Niall both gave up a lot of memories, the sort of painful memories that hold people back. Mór seems to have reconstructed her life without embellishment - she had the New Fenian to help her. Niall created a whole different life.

First, of course, was Aurora. Was Niall disturbed when he realized he dreamt her? At some point, he figured it out. The will he left behind shows that.

But also, Niall told Ronan he was from Belfast, but we learn in Greywaren he actually grew up on a farm in Kerry. Niall told Declan that his father had been murdered - Declan asks Mr. Gray if he was the one who did it - but we learn Niall's father died of alcoholism. And Niall as rogue, fiend, scoundrel? Not much like the man whose main goals were to be a farmer and stay-at-home-dad.

When Ronan went searching for proof that Niall was telling the truth, it wasn't just about the dreaming or where the money came from; it was because Niall had invented his life out of whole cloth.

In Greywaren, you learn that Hennessy dreamt Jordan because she wanted to see what she (Hennessy) would be like without the memories of her mother. What she got was a woman who was nothing like her.

Declan notes that the New Fenian is not the same as his father because their lives had diverged. That's only half the story. Their early memories were different. Fenian had Niall's original memories: Niall had only the memories he chose to keep, as well as his invented history.

This is not to say that nothing of Niall remained. He still loved his family, all of it. He was still charming and fast-talking. He was still a people pleaser - you see that when he built the box for Declan's moth against his better judgment. The combination of braggart + people-pleaser + not being the brightest bulb in the chandelier is what got him killed.

So, by choosing to give up memories of Declan's birth and retain memories of Ronan's, did Niall create a new reality in which Ronan WAS the favorite. After all, the whole family thought so. By choosing to think of himself as a rogue, did he become one? There's nothing inherently wrong with selling non-sentient dreams, but nothing prevented him from remaining a farmer only. It would have been less dangerous. And the blessing of Greywaren would have remained since Ronan was still there. But did Niall even remember what Greywaren meant, or was it just a vaguely familiar word he latched onto while bragging.

In any case, the New Fenian retains far more of the original Niall Lynch, and the primary unreliable narrator in the Lynch family was Niall himself.

#263: 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter - "Kerry's Video"

Hold onto your funny bones, folks, because this week's episode of A Very Special Podcast is about to bring some much-needed teenage dating mayhem! We're diving headfirst into the hilarious world of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, where Kerry's latest misadventures with a video camera turn the Hennessy household upside down!

[lovinggentlemenpolice]

I never had a crush on Amy Davidson when she played the role of Kerry Hennessy in the TV show '8 Simple Rules' during my teenage years, despite finding her attractive.

[platinum-iridium]

Claire deserved so much better! The writing didn’t always give her the credit she deserved but the actress held it down. Really made space for both compassion and cleverness and I enjoyed the calm sincerity she brought to the cases. I rewatched seasons 6-12 this spring (skipped her death episode so stupid and they didn’t even grief her properly after like really) and you’re right after her no other ADA is fully fleshed out like they either over focus on one aspect of her personality or they flip-flop like they did Serena. She changes motivation and personality traits depending on which direction writers went to take her for the case of the week. I think the actress handled it well and tried to create a sense of coherency throughout the seasons but the writing was ass. Very idgaf energy lol. For faves it’s Ross (she could’ve been great and often was, but then they would put her in her ‘place’ by having her encounter some despicably misogynistic judge or her lameass, uglyass, shortass ex-husband, who was nasty and did not need to be involved in the narrative at all) and Abby, who was second only because I despised her hatred for female suspects. Like yeah she’s conservative (likely due to the actress herself being conservative) but so many times they would just make her vicious and nasty even when it went against the point she was arguing. I often think of the rape case where she said something to the effect of wanting the victim to suffer because being assaulted as a prisoner was no excuse and then she used her own assault to justify it? Can’t fully remember because I’ve fast-forward through most of it, but it was terrible. The writers really dropped the ball on so many of the “woman’s issues“ cases like the misogyny really jumped out. I really enjoyed her when she was on a regular murder/scam case though. She’s shrewd and funny and loves to nab a perp with a nasty one liner and I think she and Jaime are the few that felt equally matched Jack. Haven’t seen past s13 so idk how that goes but the new seasons are ass, lawyer wise. Nolan is a big old wet blanket that I actually like lol but Sam is a dullard. Hot but that’s where it ends and it’s annoying because they could write her better but they simply don’t care to. Baxter(?) is fine so far but more because I know him as Kerry Washington’s fake white husband and not because of this role because again, boring. They need to shake things up over there fr. 

i want you to know how happy i was to see this block of text lmao. answer is going under the cut because this turned into a manifesto

yeah i think jill hennessy was a real credit. some of the best acting on law and order for me is when the characters aren't actually speaking. it's in the looks and the expressions. and the thing that i liked about claire that we don't see from a lot of ADAs is that i felt like we got to watch her struggle and develop, maybe because she had to have been one of the youngest. i actually kind of like her final episode but i don't know if i'll ever watch it again. it's hard to get through. also i think they decided to kind of pull back after showing us their personal lives so much but i think the subtle effects of claire's loss are felt. in the way briscoe was immediately and strongly back on the wagon. in the way jack's dick found its way firmly back into his pants.

serena was a mess as a character lmfao. i could never get a read on her and then there's her final line like oh ok. i'm wondering if a second watch will clear anything up for me with her character but i suspect not. is it because i'm a lesbian, no it's because you're insane

i really like jamie too. i agree that her biggest character flaw is that ex husband of hers but honestly i'm chalking it up to man probably being intimidated by her a lot and sometimes it's the short ugly ones who have built up a callus to rejection so they'll just go for it. he's a real piece of work though so i guess she mainly saw that nasty streak channeled through work so she chalked it up to passion about the job? not like they got into it too deeply. i hate watching her get sexually harassed all the time but it's probably realistic. it got handled about as well as could be hoped for by a mostly male writers room when jack and adam defended her but creating strong male heroes in that scenario ... ok lol i thought we were going for realism. with all the repeated stories of women "sleeping their way to the top" would have been more interesting i think if they explored the catch-22 of it all. damned if you do play along, damned if you don't. but i don't expect that kind of depth from men.

abby i have very mixed feelings about as a person. i would start liking her until her opinions started shining through lmao. i think the exploration of a right wing woman is really interesting (shout out dworkin lol) but I don't think the writers were equipped to do it well. the viciousness did seem misplaced but i think it could have been explained by unresolved feelings about the assault. i think that internalized misogyny can be really interesting but again i don't really trust men to bring it home. for all that she was still a good character, i agree she could have been better written.

the new lawyers are ass but i enjoyed the last lawyers of the old law and order, cutter and rubirosa. i think they have big shoes to fill following after the mccoy show both as actual actors but as characters (which i want to say i enjoy when the character and the actor have parallel journeys, like when olivia benson has to figure out how to move past elliott leaving) and if you watched cutter as bureau chief on svu, that's not the real him, that was his tether

nolan is so fucking boring lmao. but he's grown on me enough to be kind of lukewarm about it. like he doesn't really seem to have that much passion. ben stone was motivated largely by justice and doing the right thing within the rules. jack mccoy tells us he wants to win and we see him do it by any legal means necessary. cutter is kind of in between, he wants to fill jack's shoes and he's willing to tip toe over some lines ethically to get it done. wtf does nolan really want. i don't feel it from him at all. like what is his central motivation. like they gave us that moral conflict in the death penalty episode but it just didn't hit for me. what is he really about? i don't know. watching the actor tear up while being stoic is fine enough though i guess.

feel the same about sam lol so gorg but literally a blank slate of a character. like they aren't even trying with her. someone needs to tell the writers that establishing that her sister died to dv and never got justice is not the same as creating character traits. also that one episode where she's speaking in court (i think doing a cross examination of a woman, all she's good for of course) and then nolan has to save her is sooooooo. like i get what they were going for but like wtf.

baxter is giving me weird vibes but i watched scandal so i could understand how people feel about him. i am still not seeing the vision. i think everyone is allowing kerry washington's fineness to cloud their eyes there.
