By deciding to not let us off the hook, I heard him saying in a coy way, that he is grateful for our fandom, our attachment, and doesn't want to lose it.

Then, why is Leonard scowling?

I think I'm mad at YOU!!!


lol

That's quite all right. Leonard's bad mood is infecting everyone.

It's kind of in keeping with his humility to paint himself unflatteringly as a grouchy old curmudegeon who won't forgive anyone. We have to laugh and vow not to be like that ever, right?

Hi Moonlight...no, I'm just a cranky old curmudgeon.

It's probably really obvious, but can you direct me to the "scowling" that started all this off?? I haven't quite worked out my way around here yet.

THanks

As I've read the interps of what it could mean, it seems to me that yours is far more in tune with Leonard's essence, Lightning. I've felt from the beginning that this is right:

his humility to paint himself unflatteringly

...and I also feel it's in keeping.

I agree, he is just drawing what he sees - expressively and without
pretentiousness.

Also consider that he stated "It has been decided" instead of "I have decided." Then, who decided? The Sanhedrin? God? Some mysterious unnamed authority? Is he saying he feels we are to be held accountable and punished or rewarded for all our actions, (Old Testament), and not forgiven everything (New Testament and its derivatives including psychoanaysis). That means him too. He's not forgiven. He's not let off the hook. No wonder he looks so grouchy and unpleasant.

Does it really matter?

Yes.

Just once I'd like to know what LC means by all these cryptic missives. I feel like I'm at a bad seance where the "spirit" communicates by rapping on the table.

"If you hear us Father Cohen ---knock once for yes ---twice for no."

Sorry for the duplicates Jarkko...something went awry with my submissions. Is there anyway to delete a post that goes wrong instead of just editing it? Thanks.

It knocked twice. Spirit is electricty. He heard but answered that he didn't hear. Good answer.

Yes.

...and then, after Moonlight's computer-gone-wild, you 'stole' my joke, Lightning ~ I was thinking exactly the same thing, and came upon your posting of it .

Meanwhile, I still can't stop laughing about Moonlight's. Or yours. That 'exchange' belongs in a script somewhere. It's the perfect loop to keep you laughing.
