2.9: "Darts"
Nov. 29th, 2010 06:36 pmIn tribute to my grandmother, who died in July, I’m redoing all of season 2 [in which Anneka's grandmother dies] with dolls, rather than digital renders. In this ep, the funeral is held for Minerva.
In which Anneka talks to her family and thinks of her grandmother.
Comments: In case it’s not immediately clear, the contingent at Anneka’s parents’ house is talking to her on speaker phone.
In which Materyllis tells Will about her sad past.
Comments: Will has Materyllis pretty well pegged in this episode. I’m not sure she likes the feeling of being transparent. She’s used to being aloof and intimidating, not sympathetic!
In which Materyllis works her magic on Will.
Comments: Despite Materyllis’ gruff, prickly exterior, I think she’s truly a kind and thoughtful person. She’s just really lonely. She appears to like Will because he matches her in sarcasm!
In which Absinthe talks to Mark to discern if Will is truly as wretched as she thinks he is.
Comments: Absinthe, as you may recall, pines for Will. Certain that she has ruined his life by making him a vampire, she was most recently inspired in the last episode by Margie’s daughter Maggie to fantasize about the family that she and Will could have had. Now, not wanting to approach Will directly, she seeks information about Will’s current state from Mark, who ought to know about these things.
