#not tagging this so i can do this: #my favorite headcanon about ajb is that he is actually deeply insecure about money and status and the idea of talent #and the script + john's performance backs this up #he recoils from jenifer when she mentions his wife's money! he LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY! #janice mentions that alex gets the shakes after every concert. the SHAKES. not beforehand. but after when the accolades come #i think he grew up with not a lot of money and a real chip on his shoulder #and i think he has gone through most of his life convinced he is an imposter and no one notices how dead inside he is #janice probably thought he was the most talented person in the whole world and made him feel special. so he kept her around #doesn't hurt that her mommy was rich! and then jenny #oh jenny...... she looked right into his soul and went wow you hate yourself too huh #tortured artist self hating genius. and alex went oh you're almost right there..... he couldn't stand that either #meanwhile columbo looks at alex and goes oh he's just a lonely man huh #because everyone else claims to know alex. but columbo Was alex. but he did something about it. #which is why HE is the genius and alex is just a gay idiot loser who got car head from the lieutenant and then went to jail
