Hello all! I’ve just spent about two days smacking my head against the wall over the navigation on this site. A Flatliner would roll into a Gurnal would roll into a bonus, and that’s not how things were intended to work. Fortunately, there ended up being a simple fix once I figured out the correct term to search. Congratulations to me three weeks ago! (Yeah, we are already that far ahead.)
There’s clunky dialog on this page that not only provides too much exposition, it provides to much exposition about something that is entirely meaningless- which is to say why Todd is there. Todd is there in this scene for Marty to bounce dialog off of, but the bulk of the dialog is explaining why he’s there. I hate it. No congratulations to me 8 years ago.
It sorts of redeems itself- Marty does not care AT ALL what they are talking about when Mandy arrives. Todd could have been talking about Marty’s sick grandmother and Marty’s brain still would have flushed out all sense of anything that was going on. This is an immediately unhealthy obsession.
I’m not sure what the long term plan for Marty and Mandy was. If I were going to write more of this now it wouldn’t be a will they/won’t they. It would probably be a “they won’t” but maybe Mandy, despite her apparent aloofness may become more of a mentor to Marty? Not without Marty screwing up a potato sack race or something first, for sure.
