Can you imagine being married to Chuck Rhodes?


Here is a guy who has no sense of humor at all, hasn't smiled once since the eighties, wear suspenders in 2016, has an out of control fetish that he is hiding and could get him fired from his job, is having unethical and possibly illegal sit downs with judges, is bad tempered; and is not one bit sexy or attractive. Being married to him would be like being married to a combination of your high school principal, the meanest cop you ever met, and a robot.

Yet he is married to a very attractive, highly intelligent woman. Go figure,

It's more than that, at this point you can't figure out who the good guys or the bad guys are or if there are even any good guys.

You're knocking him because of suspenders? A million guys wear them, still, and the key is that his suits are made for them -- they're button-ins, not clip ons, so he's perfectly in keeping with "moneyed haberdashery."

As to the other stuff -- hey -- you never know what a person finds sexy or appealing. Maybe she like him exactly because he has no sense of humor.

The weird part about the funeral scene (where Chuck showed up and she blasted him) was that don't you think that in the course of their living together the night before or getting ready for the day ahead of him the topic of the funeral and his presence there would have come up rather than surprising her like he did? She should have lost it more than she did all things considered. Not to mention, if there is no aftermath from that between them the writers lose further credibility.

...wear suspenders in 2016...



They're braces, actually, not suspenders.

He probably wears suspenders as well, borrows hers maybe.
