Halt and Catch Fire - Joe MacMillan's Ex-Boyfriend Returns

[@stillupsetaboutrobbstark3455]

Y'all this video got put on an AV club interview with D.B. Woodside and wow I'm just so happy about it. I didn't even realize it.

[@shandyt6939]

My goodness. Rewatching all these scenes with the additional context learned toward the end of the episode gives every line of dialogue like, three more layers of depth. What I initially thought to be Joe sucking up in the phone-call scene, I now see as some rare, actual tenderness from him (and also a bit of sucking up). Now I understand the hurt in Simon's eyes when Joe goes straight to business when they meet. "I don't have time to waste" has a brutal new meaning. "What's with the girl?" "Is that what this is about?" Joe doesn't understand that Simon's entire purpose in taking on this work was to re-connect and make amends while he still could, and that effort is being derailed, and it hurts. Even the way Simon tries to warn Cameron about the potential for Joe to become bored of her now reads differently, as the bitter experience of a man faced with his own mortality, who understands the true value of his time and where he chooses to spend his affections. "You know what I longed for? The day when we would get to work together. When we finally had something that would be worthy of you." "And 'that thing' is a portable IBM clone?" Joe has reduced the entirety of their time together to a business goal, and that has to hurt Simon so badly when to him, 'the thing' has always been love. And I love the way Simon calls Joe out about still wondering whether he'll do the case. It's such a real little detail, that even in the face of others' tragedy, we all have this selfish little part of us deep down that can't help wondering how this might inconvenience *us.* "Are you going to get bored of me?" "I don't know." For a man who has such a liberal relationship with the truth, that one line from Joe catches the light as a glimmer of rare, raw honesty. And now it's time to hit enter, before I think better of it and backspace this entire screed, but yeah. This show's beautiful nuance assures it a long, rent-free life in my brain.

Lee turned into a titan when he ran to the cab 🤣

[@noalowenstein6741]

there are so many things i love abt this vid. cam not being grossed out that joe is bi (low bar i know), cam's exhibit look, cam and alexa (who were def together), the way joe takes off his jacket, boz socking a homophobe, 6'4 lee pace chasing the cab ...

[@andressantos9130]

I would say that Bosworh punched the man because he himself was homophobic and was insulted someone implied his associate was gay. But Boz clearly evolves on the issue.

[@soniandukwe8981]

Lee looks bigger than the cab coming around that corner

[@soniandukwe8981]

He looked like a giant running towards the car

[@StrawberryNinjaNibbles]

That door close in the beginning.... ouch

6:47-6:51 "30 minutes and I'm leaving your skinny ass"!!! 😆

[@Ranzoir]

Such a great show , Lee Pace has grown into a very deep , emotional and infectious to watch actor. Not all his roles suit him but the ones that do , you can really feel them.

[@JJ-qy3pq]

grown into? i would argue he always has been. his first movie role was in soldier's girl (2003) and that was an incredibly deep, emotional, and infectious to watch performance. if there's roles where you weren't feeling that, i'd blame the writing or directing. he kills it consistently.

[@ericcrabtree6245]

My inner 12 year old had a great laugh at 9:49 with Simon’s stance and the position of the road. 😂

[@soniandukwe8981]

Lee pace always has the worst luck in relationships. Soldiers girl now this, lmao

[@NotTheGodOfWar]

Sonia Ndukwe lol my man needs some lovin'

[@Chocobear555]

In, "The Hobbit," movies, his character's wife is dead.

[@dannysilva3210]

Ikr. Soldier's girl got me. My boi thranduil too 😭

[@ianlovesmickey9658]

I'm pretty sure if lee just walked briskly, he would have catch up with the cab. Sad news about his ex, I was hoping they would rekindle their relationship.

[@yellohcards]

that look @ 10:30 - 10:34 tho...great scenes

[@stillupsetaboutrobbstark3455]

Lee Pace exudes chemistry with all of his co-stars and D.B. Woodside is great in this minimal role too

[@yellohcards]

StillUpsetAboutRobbStark I completely agree! Lee Pace is great on the show & Its a shame we didn't get more from D.B. Woodside's character.

[@jdorffer]

Function over form. If it works it’s good enough for me

[@mitrairanii9398]

Am I the only one who thinks lee pace is not actually acting in these series? Like he is some how himself? Or at the very least is channeling himself?

[@zacharychrapko1021]

If you think that, its only because hes such a great actor

[@mitrairanii9398]

He is , I just hated the way he treated his ex 😔😔😔😔

[@nightmoose]

That's what great actors do. They channel the role through themselves so when they speak it sounds true.

[@nothingbutintroverted4372]

@@mitrairanii9398 um what you know this is a fictional show right lee didn’t treat anyone badly

[@notyoursavior78]

Season 1 was fantastic! Season 2 was probably better! Season 3 started strong it made me a little depressed for the main half just because everyone was. Season 4 (last) Still has promise! I loved that third episode of it. Comet! I Still need to catch up.

[@Anth230]

I have loved the entire series. Season 4 has been fantastic but bittersweet because of it's impending end. How did you feel about episode 7?

[@notyoursavior78]

das 1988 I'm a few behind I watched 5 episodes. I've been watching them off the AMC website it has been an interesting season so far.

[@Anth230]

notyoursavior78 Oh ok....try not to get spoiled....they are really good...stay away from KZbin so you don't get spoiled..go watch now...lol...let.me know here what you think when you catch up...

[@notyoursavior78]

I don't want to post anything here, since this is just a clip from season 1 I randomly picked to post in from a week ago after enjoying a bunch of brews at home. Not sure why I picked this as one of the clips to post in I just did as well as the related comdex 3x09 one. I'm all caught up now though.

[@123benny4]

Great scene! i would have stayed with Simon.

[@noalowenstein6741]

wait ... did cam just imply she pegs joe ?
