I saved this to read after I saw the movie, and I find all your points cogent and interesting, but I have nothing to add except:
And yet I’ve rarely if ever wanted conduit-fic more. Ray has to keep meeting John for business purposes, and Mary (as good a name as any) knows what she’s seeing, which is unresolved sexual tension. After a while she tells Ray to go for it, just to come back to her. Eventually Ray figures out that she means come back right after, which is possible because of superspeed drop-offs and pick-ups, and so Ray has a lot of double-headers.
Um, yes please. :)
(PS Mary, now that Hancock knows where you are and knows to avoid you, could you pick up the slack and become LA's heroine, please? I could see why you were laying low before, but now you really ought to get your superpowered rear in gear.)
