the serial/spree killer "banter" in Heated Rivalry S1E03 (Fannish Fifty #13)

Posted this on Tumblr but posting here because no one has answered. Here's hoping the DW crowd might have ideas. I posted:

Sooo... The murder banter between Scott and Kip was kind of perplexing (I personally found it funny, but that's because - like Scott - I read a lot of murder books, so I know Scott was factually correct about everything he said)

I can't decide if
( my three guesses on what that was about, one a bit of a joke )

Genuinely curious about this, though. The murder banter is not in the Game Changer novel, so... what was the motivation for that?

Wish I could ask Jacob Tierney directly, somehow. If anyone has, in any interview(s), I'd love links if you got 'em!

Scott Hunter's thousand yard stare of despair (Fannish Fifty #14)

I posted this pic (or a gif just like it) on Tumblr, but thought I'd also post it here. And between then and now, I think I figured something out about myself, which should've been obvious (duh).* Minor spoilers for Heated Rivalry S1E03!

Here's Scott Hunter's thousand yard stare of despair, after he's lost Kip:

I love the angst of this character and the Scott/Kip relationship (and the way that François Arnaud plays Scott). There's no right/wrong/good/bad person, no hero/villain here. They both do what is right for them as individuals - it just doesn't jive together within their relationship because they are at such different stages of 'out'. 

That conflict between their different stages - and Scott's understandable terror at being outed - drives the angst between them. And it is simply delicious like the finest wine. ( *the roots of my love of angst )
