I Am All In Rewatch - Luke & Jess - Episode 4x13
That kids a movie star. He's a movie star. You cannot not look at him...He's just so solid, you know. He's so good. He's so solid...I think all of the the Jess stuff has never been more powerful because he's never had more to do. He's confronting his mother or avoiding his mother, he's confronting Luke and reading Luke the Riot Act and telling him, which was a devastating scene by the way, because he wasn't wrong....That Danes bloodline causing some...They're stirring it up aren't they?...It's it's easier than you think and harder than you think. Yeah it's both. Um. Because when it goes wrong, when it goes bad, it goes really bad. It's like it's like the outtakes are pretty funny because it's like it all goes south and it's just like it's hysterical because it's so bad. It just doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work like beautifully, you know...You know, that was a brilliant scene between Jess and Luke, but I think it was incredibly unfair,and petty and easy and cheap shots. It was just, you know, Luke was formed. Uh you know, people are formed through their experiences, right, and they are who they are through their experiences in life. That's what teaches them and that's how Luke became. And for somebody to just rip the mask off that, I thought it was cruel and I thought it showed um a depravity on Jess's part that is completely debilitating him. Jess, I think it said. I think it said more about Jess than it than it does about Luke. And I think there's some truth even though there's some truth to what he was saying, Um, the manner in which that information was delivered was cruel, and it was heartless, and it was mean spirited. Deeply troubled person. Uh And and my opinion of him went down a couple of notches. Um. It's it's either he's so troubled that he's lashing out at everything, which is probably the case because he was you know, it looks like he was raised by a couple of addicts who didn't want to bother with him. Um, So this is a deep seated anchor.....The ultimate rebel, the ultimate bad boy. But boy, he just he just ripped Luke a new one. Wow.... I think it's a sign of strength in Luke that people try to call him out that it's actually a sign of their weakness when they say these things like I never asked you to help me. That to me is a sign of extraordinary weakness and ingratitude on somebody's part when they say that that is the worst thing you could That's the most revealing thing you could say to somebody. I never asked you to do that. When somebody steps up and does the right thing for somebody and then resents that person for doing it because they don't feel like they want to owe somebody something because I never asked you to do that...But you saved my ass... Okay, but screw you because you have problems and you know you want to feel like a martyr and you want to do this, Well, guess what, You're just trying to justify your own crappy behavior and ingratitude to what a person that you respect to. So that's why I thought it was such a low blow, because people like that drive me crazy. Drive me nuts. He quits life, he quits people, he quits on himself. He knows how to quit. He is he is the definition of a quitter. And it's tragic because he's so he's so appealing in so many ways, and he's so smart, and he's so you know, he's that guy that needs somebody that's not related to him to come into his life and inspire him to stop quitting, you know, somebody, because there's there's such a well of talent there. You just know it, you just feel it that Jess can do will do extraordinary things...So I see him as as having that depth of talent because he's so smart. -Scott
