{ more notes on End of Watch. }

[delga]

Interestingly, both 2x15, Running Man, and 3x15, End of Watch deal with people misplacing trust in other people. In the former it's Larry whose trust is shattered; in the latter, it's Walker's.

Also, I know that the popcorn scene was an obvious set up for (a) one of Charlie's explanations, and (b) yet another instance of Charlie being crazy with other people's food/possessions (which: I find that really annoying and rude, personally, but hey! He's the genius! It's allowed! FUCK THAT) but the burgeoning question is: what the fuck was Megan doing eating a bowl of popcorn for lunch?

An addendum to that: one of the first things Don does when he walks into the room is take a handful, thus continuing his tradition of taking other people's food. On a softer note, it indicates a level of fondness between him and Megan that is often displayed. I like their friendship, I like that in a completely non-shippy way because he's still her boss, and she's still his solid second, but it's comfortable. I'm not saying it's entirely appropriate, but it's not offensive.

On the other hand: GOD, WHAT? Isn't that just really rude, sitting there eating popcorn in front of Walker like his anxiety is a spectator sport? Megan took the time out to pick up and make the popcorn. WHAT IS THAT?

Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm going to be like this all freaking day.

As for an American thing, it's sort of weird that she just ate popcorn for lunch, but it's snack, so it wasn't like she was eating a balanced meal or anything. :D
Popcorn is actually really good for you, so people usually eat it as a snack with carrots or an apple or some other stuff like cheese.

Maybe it's Megan's, um...pregnancy cravings...that make her eat the popcorn. :D

I adore Don/Megan, and not just the shippy side, but for what you said.

AND DUDE! You have made me want to go make my own bowl of popcorn. All. Your. Fault. (Not that it's a bad thing...)
