Was a little underwhelmed by this season opening

Tonight's episode felt like we were just dropped into a scene. It took me a moment to realize they were in New Orleans visiting Alex on a movie set. So Brett's car broke down and he got to the hotel the next day. We do not get to see any interacton between her and David. I am also surprised at her reaction toward going through with her feelings toward David. She was a willing participant, she made that happen and wanted it to happen, and now she is suddenly disgusted by it. Really? So I guess she is done with the charter school project to avoid David. Looks like a total mess is about to happen.

She was disgusted for two reasons. She was disgusted by what she had done, as many people would be. And he turned out to be just another guy, so she was disgusted when their special connection was nothing special. She mentioned that when she told Amanda Peet, and they seemed to indicate it in the flashback.

Thanks for the response mball1297. I understand the automatic initial reaction to doing something she felt was wrong. I guess I am just saying that she did want it to happen. Maybe she just did not think all of the consequences through. Affairs are rarely one night stands like people think they are. There is usually a connection and dare I say a relationship started with the other person. It just felt like she had slept with a total stranger. Not someone she was building a friendship/relationship with. I do not judge her for what she did at all. Just was thrown off by her reaction to her choice.

Maybe she is just caught up in the guilt and shock of what happened and still digesting it? Maybe she wants to be disgusted? I am guessing we will get some closure on this--I would hope. Very excited to see how season 2 plays out.

Right, this is what I was talking about. After it happened, she realized their "special connection" wasn't that special. It was like like she built all of this up, but when it happened, it wasn't what she expected. I think that was the biggest part of why she was disgusted.

It was just sexual chemistry. It was lust. They felt it until they were both about to explode, and then they both did (heh heh) and then she realized it was a terrible freaking mistake.
