#seeking connection

I want to be surrounded by close friends and family. I hurt (watched something terrible happen I don't know if I am allowed to be upset) please hold me and take care of me. I want to come home to more than vodka and a cat.

I will think straight one day. I will know and truly believe that I am ok. That I am enough. That people do care.

But in here, perhaps because none of you were ever in-person friends prior to this social media (or sociopath media) platform, there are some of you who I wish I could have an occasional, in person interaction with.

This scene isn't about sex as much as it is about connection.

In a short filmclip, Lucy Griffiths and Alexander Skarsgård describes how it was made. Lucy is in character, letting us know Nora's POV: "She’s completely stuck now, between believing and not believing. And she’s searching for something that will persuade her and she has a conversation with Salome and I don’t think that really does it for her. And then so she’s like, right I’m gonna go and find Eric. And they have this physical encounter which is not romantic and it’s not, it’s not passionate, not in a good not in a sort of conventional way that you would normally a sex scene would be. Kind of emotional in that way. I mean it is emotional but it’s it’s it’s a reaching out, I think and it’s a hmm, a desperate need for connection and it just so happens that this moment in time that the most comfortable way for them to get that connection is through having sex."

Alexander, on the other hand, gives us an idea of the decisions behind the camera: "With Leslie who directed that episode and Angela who wrote it, we kind of, hmm, figured that out together, the four of us. At one point, there was more dialogue in it, but we really, we sat down and we talked about it a lot because it was a very important scene. And we just wanted to get it right and I, I don’t know, it felt like you could almost, it would almost dilute it if you had too many words there and you just wanted that connection and the urge, the need, and to feel that the love between them and how much they need each other."
