Is Zhao Yunlan's "You've changed" because that's the first thing we've seen Chu Shuzhi say to him that isn't directly case-related?
That would make a lot of sense!
Maybe there are some people who are just really obviously ordinary, and others who are more ambiguous? If anyone was going to be blatantly ordinary, it would be Lin Yufen.
Hee! I like this idea, Lin Yusen being so obviously normal you couldn't possibly mistake him for anything else. *g*
And I still don't know how he and Ding Dun connected Wang Zheng to the Awl
Yeah, that's definitely something to pay attention to, I can't wait to find out if there's any context we missed!
I think he's making pragmatic decisions that are the wrong decisions but are understandable given his age and position.
Yes, damage control makes sense and I wouldn't hold that against him, and of course Shen Wei wouldn't either! But I wasn't talking about his decision; I meant how he speaks to Shen Wei. How he approaches the topic with him, and the tone and words he chooses. He very much sounds like he personally blames Shen Wei, in a "why are you putting us in this difficult position?" kind of way, when none of this is Shen Wei's fault. Which, ugh.
Yeah, me too. I'm getting a much stronger sense of the subtle background arcs this time around, rather than viewing the first few episodes as just cases of the week. Events have consequences! It's very cool.
Yeah, same here! It really is worthwhile watching it all one episode at a time, and taking the time to think and talk about it, rather than rushing on to the next one!
The guy who blows up Shen Xi didn't get shot, though - he blew himself up. But Shen Wei might not know that?
I mean, he might be wrong that the guy he's looking for got shot. But since that's literally the only thing we know about what happened to him, dismissing that bit of info opens things up so much, it's not really useful any more?
<And we know the missing/dead captain is Mirror Girl's father, so ... So...? I'm not sure how that changes things.
You suggested Bao Laosan's wife (who did get shot). Could she have been Mirror Girl's father? It doesn't seem likely to me - her circumstances don't fit with what Shen Wei says about the captain's crimes, and the gender also doesn't fit, and while that doesn't mean they can't be the same person, it again dismisses too much of the very little info we have. It just doesn't feel useful to me to cast the net that wide ...
