For some reason, I have been heavily invested in Stan since the pilot. It was his gutteral reaction to Rosie's body in the trunk that absolutely and 100% completely sold me on this show as something I simply HAD to watch. And while I've grown to love the vast majority of the characters to a degree that is probably not too far from unhealthy, it will always be Stan that I have a soft spot for. Therefore, anything to do with him (and ESPECIALLY anything to do with his characterisation) is a-okay in my book, even when it's not specifically Rosie's murder related (although, I'd argue that even the non-directly related to Rosie stuff still had an element of Rosie in it -- that's the thing with her death that I find most intruiging. It has infiltrated SO MANY PEOPLE. This girl we haven't even really met, and don't really know all that much about, is integral to EVERYTHING). ARGH I LOVE IT SO.
*ahem*
And all of this thinking about it (my reactions to the episode) just made me realise that it probably wasn't YOUR ship goggles that lead you to disappointment but MY character goggles that lead me to happiness! Haha! /fail on my part.
