More thoughts. We've heard from the actors, but what about the creator, sometimes writer, occasional director? Joss Whedon wrote and directed Man on the Street--the episode with the infamous elevator "She loves him" scene. They looked at each other like they did and Joss didn't say, "Cut! Did you fall and hit your heads! Why are you looking at each other like that?" Evidently not. He used the footage. And all the powerwalking and such. And in Getting Closer, his farewell to Dominic, he included the powerwalking and elevator and all those good things that they did together (communicating without talking, etc.)

So ... Joss might have had a different take. More food for thought or just ramblings? Not sure.

I'd be curious to know what Joss, Jed, and Maurissa thought! Of course, with exactly this in mind I listened to the commentary tracks for the Big D/D Scenes in "Man on the Street" and "Epitaph One" -- and all both talked about was Mr. Dominic's fondness for suits. Thwarted!

In fairness, his suits are pretty legendary.

I loved Joss' comment at that point. That Dom was a bit of a dandy and liked to dress well and that that just flew in the face of everything else in his character. That interested me.

If I had to guess, it was a back pocket sort of thing that they could've/would've/should've pulled out whenever they needed/wanted it. Nothing says they weren't, so .......

Murr. The DVD commentary about his suits (and Adelle's clothes, and how they love Reed and Olivia ♥). Laurence Dominic is a fashion icon, yo.

I actually love that the ~farewell we got from Joss and Co for Dominic was him being a badass with Adelle + the classic stuff that makes up the foundation of our ship. It's as though they've been lurking in the community.

And yeah, I wish we get something from the Whedons. But at the same time, not really because I don't want to be shot down like an F-15E in Afghanistan.
