I checked “awkward exposition” because the reason for the goddamn torture porn (which I hate, though I do have a caveat to that) was wafer-thin, and even Sam’s reasons for not talking kind of were, and the whole approach of the British MoL to the situation doesn’t make any sense, and I feel like that’s because the writers haven’t actually decided what’s going to happen yet.
To me, it makes sense that Sam wouldn't tell her anything, because she's already revealed herself to be an enemy. No one with good intentions would start by shooting, kidnapping, and threatening to torture him. The part that makes no sense is that she would start as an aggressor instead of an ally. And that's why I think she has to be lying. (And also stupid.)
And we've seen Sam's feet before, briefly, in "Clap Your Hands if You Believe." It was Soulless!Sam, but he still had Sam's feet. ;-)
Yeah, that was the one thing that made sense about Sam's refusal to talk (and though I enjoyed the snark, why taunt someone into torturing you? I mean, wouldn't the preference always be for LESS torture?). I really agree that her being an aggressor, especially so instantly and horribly, doesn't make sense; that's the whole thing about her character and the BMoL that's way WTF.
Mmm, I love Clap Your Hands... so I don't know how I missed Sam's feet in it! I wondered if maybe we saw them in The Born Again Identity (cuz, mental hospital PJs). Soulless Sam's feet are just as good-- Sam wouldn't keep his soul there! No soul in his feet, but soles of his feet.
