[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 441648, member: 4960"] I wasn't sure exactly how to title this..I thought of "the darkest moment on FC", but considering all the dark things that happened in the 9 seasons, this may not qualify as dark, but cruel.. In the thread where we are discussing when FC declined in quality, we are speaking a lot of season 7, and now Richard being revealed as Angela's son has come up. This can't help but make me think of the early season 2 episode..maybe Richard's first or second episode, when Angela pays him a visit at the "New Globe" at the end of the episode, and basically tells him his whole life was a mistake, or something to that effect. After she leaves, Richard tears up the office in a rage. Wow. Just wow. I remember the impact this scene had on me the first time I saw it. It's great acting on both of their parts, and helps to fuel the fire between the two characters for the next 5 seasons or so(even longer, depending on how one views their relationship, even after the reveal at the end of season 6.) Anyway, Angela was so cruel to Richard in this scene, and his response showed how hurt he really was by the whole situation. His life. Kudos to both Jane and David here. I remember watching the first season on DVD, right after I lost my grandmother, and Angela really reminds me, in a lot of ways- of my own grandmother. Perhaps that doesn't sound like a compliment, but my grandmother was a complicated woman, but had a big heart deep down. The relationship Angela had with young Lance brought to mind myself and my grandmother. I missed her something awful, and watching these early episodes was somehow something of a comfort. [/QUOTE]
