The Entire History Of You - am I imagining this happened?


At the end, after his wife or girlfriend left and he was replaying a bunch of recordings of her... Was he noticing her laughing at his jokes, and giving him flirty looks? All of the things he accused her of doing with that other guy. Like he was realizing that she really was into him.

never saw it as a parallel with the other guy. just that he was going over what he lost, he lost a lot more than what she had with the other guy.

I noticed that too (just watched the episode last night).

I think it was a combo of just happy memories and noticing those looks.

But I think part of the issue is that she no longer looked at him that way (the way she did earlier), but noticed that she looked at Jonas that way. In a way jealousy, which turned out to be "true".

It was a fantastic episode.


I hate IMDB's Signature policy...

But nothing compared to the bombshell of the child in Christmas. BAM!

My take:


He was replaying all of the beautiful moments he shared with his wife, but he was still devastated at her betrayal...so he removed the device so he'd never have those memories again.

Someone already mentioned the difference between what he had with her and what what's-his-name had, and that while he was obsessed with the sex, in reality it's the other stuff, the simple moments, that are far more valuable.

Further, though...

There's something I've always said about relationships. It started with a conversation with a friend about beautiful girlfriends. In this conversation I said - and I've repeated it many times since -

It's not how she looks. It's how she looks at me.

THAT'S the prize.

"You don't look lazy."
