LISA
I wonder if that is because it would be way too painful – both for Claire to admit it loud to herself, but also for Jamie to know that she had chosen between him and Brianna – too much to come to terms with.
I really feel a corner stone of Claire’s character in both books and TV show is her tendency not to speak her feelings. While Jamie often comments on how easy it is to read her feelings on her face, she rarely gives voice to them. No poetic language from Claire about how the sun comes out when she sees Jamie, or that being without him was like living without a heart. In the book we see things through her eyes, but in a way we are limited to her own understanding of herself. Not exactly an unreliable narrator, but – you know – a bit! (Think about how Diana points out that in the book Claire THINKS that Frank is having a string of affairs. My theory is that she builds an emotional wall between herself and Frank and creates herself a reason to maintain that emotional distance.)
I think TV Claire has kept her own feelings so protected and shelved during her time with Frank, that this open, messy and chaotic reunion is overwhelming her. It would be lovely to see her open up to Jamie when she is less in shock and able to return to him fully.

you know what's most amazing is that overall, it seems like she feels like her primary role is as 'friend,' first.
(how do i become a good friend ((good news)) to my parents?)
//
show capable, independent pre-visit
obligated, but also really wants to. makes big plans to get closer, intimate conversations
but then-- gets home, everyone has their own lives, lots of group texts i'll never be in. (even forgetting the ones i am in)
i'm the pet, waiting for everyone to get home from work.
i'm also able to catch up with people too and focus on being a good friend (versus entertaining).
cancer, but wasn't really there. the best you can do is take care of yourself there. (really? is that all there is?)
(flashbacks:
growing up scared, strict. like infinitely polar bear?)
contrast to little sister's different experience of parents.
and it is about them meeting jesus that is the difference, with all those bumps and warts.
-- wanting us to all get baptized together, but i needed to establish me. i've always needed to establish me, either as clown, or as a leader. still under that control tho, right?)
i'm a person of extremes, finding my way by committing full speed, but is it the right thing?
my experience with faith and doubt and certainty and mystery.
(how do i become a good friend ((good news)) to my parents?)
gifts (let us know before you buy things now) versus experiences.
also, reflective:
you really did have a hard experience, didn't you?
they always seem to know me even when i haven't really talked about my day-to-day for years. a decade, almost.
LEARNING TO TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY
safety net has always been there no matter how "i can do it myself" i get...
(the people around me spend so much time being the same!
trying to disappear versus knowing your place
but i could just have easily been born somewhere else. my parents picked a life away from theirs, too. i wonder what the holidays are like for them?)
sacrificed being with her mom to be here, and yet "every day is like a holiday." she's grateful for health.
//
as i grow: interested in all aspects of the industry, starting with casting (people) and then ultimately probably directing, right? GULP, dances around it.
but it's also relevant, or constant, how people see you versus how you feel as a minority.
then also a rebellious view of authority...
//
also developing a sense of your own point of view.
writers' groups like bad auditions? HMM
"what are you watching?" and getting recommendations and how weird it is to hear all this from a solidly internal person
//
a "Plan A" assistant
//
started at 25, lots of interns are 18. so dating is dot dot dot
sports = connection with body
//
the selfishness of love
versus "we love because he first loved us."
//
the "why do you hate me?!" thanksgiving
//
parents are thoughtful about not knowing how to relate to kids (not their world).
"parents are really good roommates"

“You find a connection to your characters, get inside their head… you find a way into them, you find a way to bring them to life by connecting them up with something inside you — and then at some point they start living on their own and then your job is to stay honest to what they are doing.”

“When I finished the script, I had a moment with myself where I thought, You’re either going to do this now or you’re never going to do this,” she said. “Now you have to make your mistakes and get your gifts because you have to, at some point, jump. I think a lot of women have also particularly a need to feel that they can stand in their own expertise before doing something. A lot of my female friends will be so overqualified for what they do that by the time they do it, it’s like, Well, obviously.”
