Re: episode one confessional

I had similar thoughts when Matt told Claire something along the line of "My dad taught me that" or something when Claire comments that he can take "One hell of a beating". It actually came off a lot more sinister than I'm making it out to be here.

But yeah, when I commented on it on tumblr, mostly along the lines of how it would be a good kicking off point for one of those miscommunication sub lots (EI I was reading it as Matt not actually being abused) someone pointed out that "Ar Ar Ar You know he meant his dad taught him to box. Or to get back up again when hit" but erm.....

It really made me see that there's something beyond the mantra that Matt attributes to his dad. I don't know. Else I think he wouldn't mention anyone because so much of him taking a beating does seem to come from Stick. And I do mean that in the horribly abusive way. So I think this is open to interpretation.
