@agnost  replied to your post “Hello, there is totally no need to apologize. You are so courteous….”

i only saw the first gif in the main trailer but here are some other gifs i found ���� http://listhenchamp.tumblr.com/post/169688611528/counterpart-baldwinaka-sara

Ohhh. Hmmm. Lol, I actually remember that now. I think it was at the end of the first ep, the “this season” trailer? I don’t think I paid it much mind because at the time it was like weeks yet till the show started for real.

Thanks! 

Hello, there is totally no need to apologize. You are so courteous. The scene with clare was in another trailer i saw, very short and fast. I guess it will be in ep4 or ep 5, maybe. Anyway, thanks for your patience and everyting.

Aw, no, no, you’re the nice one! Hmm, interesting. Fun fact, the actress who plays Clare also played Fara in Homeland, the Muslim woman Saul yelled at for wearing a hijab. Good times, good times.

So where is this other trailer? I’m interested…for a friend. >_>

Thanks for getting me absolutely hooked on the angst fest that is Kana. I love reading your tags! It seems they’re trying to keep the angst at 1000% and certainly going to drag it out longer than I even anticipated after seeing tonight’s eps. Also wondering with Corries 100 characters that the thing that’s going to come up short are the transitions? I feel like any time they want the story to take a turn it’s just a drastic shift, while the juice of the storyline seems pretty well developed

Yeah, it definitely seems like the rotated screentime makes some storylines move in fits and jerks. Especially with them being fairly lower-level characters. Rana in particular, who is really at the center of this story for all the things she is and all the people she pulls into this, has had some really long gaps in screentime, though Bhavna’s a champ and covers for that masterfully. 

Overall, I think we do get an okay picture of things, even if we have to massage our headcanons a bit.

Oh, and you’re welcome. 😀 A great time to be watching, eh.

Hello me again. Yes, there was a shot hair young lady with baldwin in the trailer. Maybe someone random. I did see her with clare, they have like bedscene. BTW really like ur analysis, precise and elaborate, always enjoyable to read.

Aw, thanks anon, but really, I should apologize, you came to me with a show you liked and I just blurted out all the things I didn’t like about it. Rude!

Sorry, where was this scene with Clare?? Did I miss it? I thought I watched the first two eps pretty carefully… I saw the scenes where Clare did fairly intimately examine and treat Baldwin’s wound but beyond that?

Hello, did you see counterpart, it’s pretty good. There is this pair of baldwin and clare,who are assassin and soldier.

Anon, actually, I didn’t love the first ep and I still don’t like the writing, I think it’s a bit formulaic and obvious and contrived. BUT Baldwin having a greater part in the second ep improved it immensely. Maybe it’s because she barely speaks, lol, and so all her scenes are saved from the writing which, I mean, there are some big actors who are coming across as kind of boring and those are not boring actors! Olivia Williams and JK Simmons?? If you told me there was a scifi drama about parallel worlds with those two, I would have expected much, much better. Oh, also, Baldwin being there like quadrupled the amount of time given to women from the first ep. But I’m much more interested after the second ep and if they stop wasting time on bad exposition and really spelling out “what makes a person”, I can see it becoming much better.

Also, are you sure the pair is Baldwin and Clare? It’s been a while since I saw the trailer, but the woman in the scenes with Baldwin didn’t look like Clare? Coulda been her counterpart, true, true.
