#Now Chris is twelve/thirteen and what should have been over a decade with his son was really just 6-7 years
Text
Who knew Eddie's dream sequence in 5x14 of Christopher, present yet distant, would be foreshadowing for the arc they're going to go through in Season 6
#The tone of that dream has a different feel in light of the fact that Eddie's going to have to learn to exist without the title of#'Father' as his primary source of identity#Eddie in that dream is very much so Dad to a Young Boy: his joke his silliness is that of a father still so enraptured in the youth of#his son. But then the dream turns on its head; Christopher is there but not. Eddie dies in front of him and he doesn't even flinch#I said when the episode aired that the fact that Christopher was in Eddie's trauma-induced dream at all is indicative of the fact#that one of Eddie's primary fears is losing his son. Or (more to the point) his son not needing him anymore.#So I imagine this period of transition that they're in is going to be... a challenge... in many different ways#Especially as Eddie contends with all the time he *missed* being Christopher's dad when he was in the service#Christopher was six years old when Eddie started taking care of him full time; that's six years that he missed#Now Chris is twelve/thirteen and what should have been over a decade with his son was really just 6-7 years#I imagine there's going to be a lot of guilt involved here. Even if we don't see it on screen#knowing the way Eddie's brain works and the incredible standard of honor he holds himself to?#[Honor that exists absent of trauma but just a standard he holds himself to intrinsically...]#It'll be interesting to see that's for sure#jack.txt
