Dan/Adrian is made of tragedy, just by virtue of the two people involved. But I've always thought they're sort of worshipful of each other, in different ways. Like Adrian represents to Dan the power and strength to define yourself and a role in the world fighting for good, and Dan represents to Adrian all the intangible, flawed, fleeting beauty of humanity and reminds him in his utilitarian rampages that there is something to be said for the induvidual.
Bridget was kickass. I wish she'd had that line. And Little Man would be a great father (or big brother figure? He's quite young, and IDK how old Lee would be.) Aldo is, I think, a fucking homicidal lunatic, but with applaudable politics.
Can I just say that the layout for that community is gorgeous? It really, really is. And I see everything you point out in that scene - for QT, nothing says I love you like a bullet in the back. Seriously, his romances always involve people trying to kill each other and this one is no different.
(But to be fair, we only see Marcel and Shosanna together after the Nazis have marched in and she's decided to go kamikaze. She's on a personal vendetta he doesn't fully understand, so it's no wonder they're a bit distant. But he goes behind that screen for her and lights that cigarette and that's love too.)

Long comment is long. I am so wanky. Sorry.
