Which may not be the best excuse but I think it's a plausible one: this was the Twenties, and didn't they basically hand out opiates like they were candy back then?<br /><br />As you've probably guessed, I liked Domingo a lot, and really wanted him to be redeemed. The more I thought about it the more I was impressed with him. Think about the enormous effort it must have taken (both on a physical and an emotional level) just to *function*, let alone appear normal. And he was really cute with the kids when he was doing his magic show. ;-)Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916595282859161595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29104195.post-51389109211044766342009-09-04T15:23:09.648-04:002009-09-04T15:23:09.648-04:00Okay I'll give you that - the rabbits did seem...Okay I'll give you that - the rabbits did seem to be out of character. I also stopped watching the series; but more because it grossed me out so much. *shudder*Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642083033884262289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29104195.post-12554806881752906892009-09-01T22:10:58.423-04:002009-09-01T22:10:58.423-04:00hey joni

It isn't as if he purposely set out to deceive her. And the thing with the rabbits was SO out of tune with the character that they'd established so far that I kept waiting for it to be explained in later episodes. (Was it a war flashback? Did his mother do it? Was he whacked out of his gourd on the opiates they gave out like candy in those days?) But of course it never was, so I had to go off and write an 8,000-word story to fix it. ;-)<br /><br />Honestly, I was really annoyed by the totally unsympathetic treatment that Heidi Thomas gave to Domingo (and Mrs Brazendale, for that matter) - it annoyed me so much that I couldn't even finish watching the series.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916595282859161595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29104195.post-5229736010951332872009-08-26T01:56:00.489-04:002009-08-26T01:56:00.489-04:00see now, I have to say that I always thought Domin...see now, I have to say that I always thought Domingo was a lying cheat for not letting Iris know that she'd never be able to have children if she married him.
