Marcellus' cruel sense of humor has me laughing so hard......i shouldn't find his negative Gerry comments funny..... but I guess its a guilty pleasure.....he should be a comedian!!!

So true Bb. Can't you just see him doing a sitcom? Throw Amy in the mix, and CBS would have a hit!

Funny, I saw a CBS show tonight called Funny Flubs... and the two guys hosting looked like a less attractive Roddy, and a more attractive Josh-quite creepy! Turns out they're from the show 'Yes, Dear"! This is getting quite incestuous if you ask me!

Marcellus was killing me when he was comparing the situation to a juicy peach or a nectarine. He's got such a way with words. And I thought I was going to die if he said "M..er F...er" one more time. I love him.

I liked it when Marcellus was talking about the game turning into an episode of Dynasty or Dallas or one of those shows, then he said it would definately be Knots Landing because these people don't have enough money to be on Dallas! He was playing cards with Dani when this took place.

I find him quite funny too---but his overwhelming hatred of Gerry is getting really offensive

Didn't Marc say earlier that in order to make his loose alliance with Gerry go without detection that he would be saying negative things about Gerry without really meaning them?

Or is my memory once again on the fritz?! :)

Can someone clarify...thanks!

Yes, he did say that to Gerry, but unfortunately, Marcellas does seem to mean what he says about Gerry, because he was bad-mouthing him heavily long before :-(

Guilty Viewer, I believe Marcellas did tell Gerry of such intent. Tracy said Marcellas had mentioned it, and I do recall hearing him say that.

That makes him such a great actor. I think what it is, he doesn't really like Gerry (i.e., finds Gerry irritating), but he realises that Gerry could be his key to success. So, he uses his natural feeling and combines it with acting. He's playing the other members. They don't even know of his pact with Gerry. He even convinced me for a moment that he meant all of what he said about Gerry. But if you note, in every mention of getting rid of Gerry, Marcellas seems to softly indicate that he would like to see Gerry there longer.

I think he is playing the same game he played when it was with Amy. Recall he started to say or admit negative things about Amy. He would still have saved Amy nonetheless if he was not in such dilemma.

I have to agree with you Battlestar, I started out really likeing Marc. but now, I'm not so sure, he is really getting kinda hatful, doesn't he relize that everything he is saying could come back and haunt him, his family, co-workers, his community, someone could tape all the nastey things he said about everything, and have it pop up at real embaressing time. Stuff like that could ruin a life

I think CBS should consider a sit-com with Amy and Marcellas. It would be a hoot with the right writers. It could be all about a Reality Show....and start with the two of them not having met yet......and each week could represent a different hour or so getting on the show, being interviewed for the show, meeting on the show with some other unsavory characters thrown in for them to play off of. I know I would watch it!!!
I'm laughing, just thinking about it....

well--if it does come down to an act so as not to be found out ---then BRAVO! to him. But I think he could do it with a little less passion

Thanks for verifying that my mind isn't totally gone :). Guess we'll just have to see if Marc's comments are genuine, acting, or somewhere in between....no matter what though, he gives me something interesting to watch!

Marc can be fun, but I too am really sick of his Gerry bashing. It is one thing to say someone's personality is grating on your nerves, it is completly another to say some one is 'evil' or 'a disgusting human being'.

Yes, Marc was just saying these things.

Imaging Marc, if folks said that stuff about you, just 'cuz your personality grates...

Ugh.

I like the light hearted side of Marc much better. His constant bitching about Gerry is growing very childish - GROW UP!!
