DARBY HART and BILL FARRAH in A MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD (2023-) | S01 E02 "The Silver Doe"

I appreciate the patience in drawing out their dynamic; it’s nice to see their casual afternoons hanging out over webcam, and Bill’s “happy birthday” message via hacked train-track lights is pretty cute. What matters on a deeper level is Darby’s anxious reaction to the suggestion that she meet up with her online boyfriend in person.

Similarly, it feels notable that the episode doesn’t end on another big plot reveal or a climactic moment in either timeline. It ends on an emotional, character-driven note, showing us the moment when Darby and Bill meet in person for the first time at the tavern.

Even if the murder mystery element proves to be disappointing, I’m in this for Darby and Bill, and the way Corrin’s specific, compelling live-wire energy plays off Dickinson’s mischievous warmth. AI can do a lot, but it couldn’t write that smile.

L’altra sera stavamo parlando in compagnia di altri e mi hai stretto un braccio, ma forte, e forse un po’ più a lungo del dovuto.

Sicuramente una fantasia mia, eh, magari ero il primo braccio a portata di mano. Ma mi piace pensare che sai di avermi toccata più a lungo del dovuto.

Photographer Donna Santisi introduced Joan and Chrissie to each other that night right after the Blackhearts played their first show at the Whisky and the Pretenders performed at the Santa Monica Civic that same weekend.

Figurati, sei solo la 180ª persona che nelle ultime due ore mi ha detto che è in ansia: ma sinceramente, ansia per il lavoro? State in ansia per le cose serie della vita, tipo la salute…

ma il lavoro? Siete seri?

È incredibile come io stia desiderando ardentemente una cosa che potrebbe avere degli effetti devastanti sulla mia attuale vita sentimentale.

Ma oh, il pensiero non schioda da lì.
