Rena's poison wasn't hidden by beauty - it was out in the open. White Oleanders are deceptive because of their beauty, much like Ingrid, Starr, and even Claire, whom Claire was able to further poison by giving her a push. Ultimately, with Rena, Astrid saw it coming. (Rena is the opposite of a white oleander; dark and outwardly rough. Ingrid, Starr, and Claire all represent the same light in their looks as a white oleander) There are other nuances, as well, but this is the underlying current. Coming in late, but just started watching. His behaving poorly over a job that got him fame and nearly 3 million a year made Kevin drop quite a few points in attractiveness. He's very nice looking, but wow! Everybody feels put-upon and crushed by their job; being a brat because you don't like source material that gets you laid and an extremely nice, beyond comfortable living is off-putting. Plus, he made a commitment to that job. Ducking out of a contract because someone feels the work (one agreed to) is beneath them is pretensious and unprofessional, and it absolutely should give someone a bad reputation for being difficult to work with. What a baby. I can't imagine many people related to his little crisis. Kevin and Kate are non- dentical. They shared a womb and a birthday, but are very much fraternal; any other scientific twin-beliefs are a non-factor. This is what minutely annoyed me when it was said, by Kate, that she feels everything Kevin does - or when it was suggested when we saw her react to his plane landing in NY. If anyone is a believer in the romantic capabilities of twins somehow being connected through the erhersphere, they can ignore it 100%, here. Having said that, sometimes siblings don't look related. I've seen that myself through my friends. On the other hand, I look very much like my 12-mos.-older brother (people used to think we were twins), and we both have similarities to our other brothers. So, that, I can suspend disbelief on. 5 years later, but... I think you are mixing up dynamics here. Ronald was deemed a high school outcast by his entire class and beyond. In addition to how he dressed and his "eccentric" interests, his classmates would have all treated him poorly because of his high school social status. We see how easily influenced they are by his "dating" Cindy; that's the premise of the movie. Charleze, in YA, is not a teenager, but a broken woman (who's on her way to alcoholism). She goes to Patton, in need of comfort, and may be on her way to being a better person, until Patton's sister reminds her of her shallow existence and praises it. Right? That's very glaring! There has to be a back door... Yes... Police stations close because daily business is done for the day and people use 911 for emergencies. There also may be an operator still avail., though, and officers are still out on duty. So whether or not a police station closes has nothing to do with crimes being solved. Alerts go out to the powers that be at all times. Huh, yeah, we do. Plenty. You're either young, or woefully inexperienced. Stories are just a bit more complex than a shit sandwich... I'm not even going to finish reading your "retort". BeOneOfUs isn't proving *your* point, *you're* proving your own, especially if you think "open-minded" means one will believe anything. That is NOT what that means. Your first post was extremely ignorant to begin with, no you round things off with a near guarantee that you're truly THAT ignorant. The music he's playing isn't from their prom, it's from a mixed tape he made her. View all replies >
