Yes, I do think he meant it. I've said from the beginning that he was keeping a tight rein on himself.
I don't particularly want him to 'snap'. I'd like to see him show some of the personality that he is supposed to have. He comes across as a person who can give it but can't take it; thinks the house should revolve around his needs; is no fun at all; disapproves of nearly everything; acts like he's at least 10 years older than Lionel.
He's just a grumpy old goat with little entertainment value. Surely that's not what made him a legend - he must be so afraid of letting go that he can't enjoy himself.
