Date: 2016-10-12 01:01 pm (UTC)See, I don't know. I mean, yes, the mental picture any one of TF's characters ever has of anyone else is always distorted through their own filter (though I still think Rob Ryan's filter was the most distorted of all of them), but their own filter of themselves is always distorted, too. So the "real" Moran is probably some combination of what we've seen of him through Antoinette, through Frank, and through his own eyes.
To me one of the most interesting filter-induced difference between Stephen and Antoinette's perspectives had to do with class. Like, in TSP, Stephen makes this HUGE deal about the fact that while he's working-class, she's actually low class, and that this distinction makes a huge difference. But she either doesn't see the world that way, or doesn't care, because she doesn't dwell on any of that stuff at all. That was so fascinating to me.
Still - I was waiting from the start to see how the Conway/Moran duo would go up in flames, and it was a very welcome surprise that they DIDN'T.
I liked that it could have, and even teetered on the edge, but then didn't. Though not due to anything Antoinette Conway did, I have to say. Stephen Moran sure puts up with a lot from her.
