There are a few general trivial things I noticed here and there throughout the series. These are just little details that bring a smile to my face, or make me scratch my head, things like that.
1. Whenever a Blue Moon employee is caught eavesdropping on the bosses by leaning on the door, the person with their ear to a glass always tries to pretend they were drinking something while walking away. ;D This is not even physically possible—you can see in fact it’s empty, and even if it weren’t, it’d spill—but they’ve got to give it the old college try.
2. As far as we know, David hardly ever addresses Maddie by her full first name, and when she uses his first, she does not say anything but the full. Never in public do we hear her use Dave or Davey or anything like that. This illustrates the personality difference between the two: he is very casual and immediately treats her as if the supposed barriers between them did not matter; he ignores normal worker-to-boss protocol, and acts as if she were ‘right there with him,’ on his level in every way. She, on the other hand, is very businesslike and often addresses him as Mister Addison or just Addison, even after they’ve been working together a few years. (Though she does throw in a few uncharitable epithets here and there. )
3. Whenever one of the two detectives walks in and doesn’t know of the other’s whereabouts, they usually ask, “Is he here?” or “She here yet?” Not a name, not ‘my partner,’ etc. If Agnes catches them first, she’ll say, “He’s not here,” or something similar, without even having to ask, and without that even always being the main topic of conversation. This could be put down to the fact that there are only two top-level people working there, and the rest are just office clerks, but I choose to think of it as a rather charming reminder that they already know who is important, and why. It’s as if they are always on each other’s minds, and the presence of the other person, or their desire to be around them, is so natural they don’t even have to say why. Also, I think Agnes simply understands that as tough as they try to be, under the surface they just miss each other.
4. If I remember correctly, in that episode early on (sorry, can’t recall title) where David jokes about Maddie going to bed every night by 9:30, and later on we see her doing just that, lounging about at home and eating a microwave dinner and so forth before turning in, at the side of the room you can see a fish tank with tropical fish.
What happened to them?
Thanks.
