Thanks!

Glad to see there are a couple of you who noticed the oddly cute way that she says those words as well. I knew I couldn't be the only one.

It's a funny thing, they've focused so much on the quasi Odepius complex relationship between Buster and Lucille, yet Lindsay seems to have that kinda thing with her father too. She's clearly attached to him more than her mother, George Sr values her as his little girl as well, and Lindsay prefers a man more like George Sr than Tobias, kinda overlooking his vast amount of faults while trashing Tobias's less serious[though pretty gay]faults. Sounds like small little secret incest desires right there[and suggesting incestual feelings that a child has for his/her parent is one of the few taboos AD hasn't broken yet, unless you count Buster's Lucille 1 worshipping]

Yeah, I love how they occasionally hint at Lindsay’s Elektra complex.

Does anybody else think that the character of Lindsay got a little flat as the seasons went on?

In the first season she was certainly a lot more interesting and had more storylines.

I think the writers envisioned her character to be a bit different than Portia's portrayal of her, because Lindsay was supposed to be a, and quote, "liberal activist"...but that kind of fizzled out.

I thought her character was best when she was interacting with Michael a lot, like in In God We Trust and Storming the Castle, it made her seem normal and sane along with Michael.

After the first season you can tell she was clearly downgraded to just supporting the other actors, and it's a shame. Her only plot became her relationship with Tobias and trying to have an affair...I feel they could've done more for her.
