I’m so serious when I say murray bartlett deserves an emmy simply for how he played the difference in frank’s feelings during his first meal with bill compared to his last. in the podcast druckmann and mazin were talking about how the later scenes with bill and frank were a study in the kind of love that only comes about as a product of time and commitment and that is clearer nowhere than in murray’s performance here. it’s wonderment vs fondness. it’s that first spark of infatuation where you can barely believe this is happening evolving into deep, abiding love where you know exactly where you stand. it’s romance that becomes belonging. it’s saying, “wow, look at everything this guy has here!” becoming, “wow, look at everything we’ve built together here”. and it’s one of the absolute most beautiful journeys I’ve ever seen on screen, and murray bartlett told it without saying a single word.
