Bomb Girls 2.09

[amoama]

Vera and Kate practicing burlesque! VERA MY HEART YOU GORGEOUS THING YOU. And the "It's all an act" moment. Really shows just how dense Kate is though that she has never seen through it before despite everything Vera's been through.

But I did finally like Kate when she told Ivan where to go - also tussled hair glory!

Betty & Gladys planning to go mortgage hunting! I love those two so much and it was an awesome moment when Gladys's strategy to use feminine wiles to get the banker on board was tipped on its head. <3

Kind of want Lorna/Reggie pwps with "you do so much for everyone else/let me do this for you" connotations.

I loved having a bit of Marco/Lorna interaction as well, there's been such a dirth since the abortion.

Marco&Vera's friendship seemed to be beautifully back on track and then it turned out to be foreplay. I don't know if I'm on board yet with these two. I love them so much as friends. If they're friends who have sex I could probably deal though, lol.

Love the bringing up of equal pay issue. This is the kind of thing Bomb Girls does so well with each of the girls feeling their way around the issue and what it means for them and reacting in so many different ways. I love just watching Lorna and Betty and Gladys arch their backs and sniff out the prickliness around them and battle with how affronted they are with the situation.

Canteen showdown!

The Betty/Kate hug was so lovely. Betty's whispered "It's great news" was so moving.

Lorna's letter to Bob. Gah. I just love Lorna so much, there's something so lost about her and so heartbreaking about the way she tries so hard.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT CLIFFORD PERRY'S SHITTY ACCENT, THOUGH?

Ugh, the burlesque was amazing, both scenes (Vera & Kate and Vera & Marco) - if Vera and Marco have to kiss, then yes, that is the best way to do it, I think: laughing and being silly and the power dynamics feeling really equal, if you know what I mean? I LOVE VERA SO MUCH.

Did Betty get beaten up in 2.8 or 2.9? I watched them both in a row last night so they've blurred, but either way: BETTY. MY HEART.

I lovelovelove Lorna, always, and I miss Bob. I don't want Lorna/Reggie, though, I still have a lingering yen for Lorna/Betty.
