`Blue - Season 1, Episode 1, Parts 1-6



Mom

Off the bat family life intrudes into the "office" for Blue, and the past crashes the party for her and a former classmate.  Nice volley between them.  


Son

The theme of Blue's work - sex - comes home with her, as she and her son carry the volley in a more personal vein.


You Rule

Sex morphs further into matters of gender equality, personal teasing ("Lavagina"), and family struggles. Tensions amp readily, even between friends.


Long Day, Blue?

"Hear that band? They're gonna set this house on fiyyyah!" "Ooh, looking good, grandma!" "That boy is gold. He's the best thing that's happened to you."


You're Good

"Sometimes I think about you. Not about little antics here, but about what your life must be like out there. I have theories. You want to hear them?" "Sure."


Jack, the Ripper

"Did he call you?" "No, I found him on Facebook." "We have a deal." "Which one?" "You know goddamn well which one." "Look, was it a deal or a rule?"

I am writing a play, and I am simply building more of an ear for character development, plot development, and dialogue construction.  Writer and Director Rodrigo Garcia is superb on all counts.  

More to come, next.
