Looks amazing, Alex! Thanks! :)

"I wanted to see you.
To know that you're more than just a memory.
And to tell you that I kept my promise. You didn't keep yours.
You promised me you'd be here... in Everwood.
But, you're not."
"I've got bad news for you, Andy, you're gonna be fine."
"Fine is not great."
"You've had enough of "Great". It isn't all it's cracked up to be. Fine is real."

Thanks again, Summer! :D

Magnificient quote, Summer !!!
This scene is one of my favourite of the episode. So sad. This is a moment when you understand how much Everwood is special and an outstanding show. This scene is so real and beautiful.

and :cheerleader: :yay: :woot: You're back !!! :hug: :back_hug:

SHE'S GONNA EXPLODE!!! SHE'S GONNA EXPLODE!!!

"The Great Doctor Brown" was directed by the Oscar winning actress Kathy Bates, by the way. :)

I just loved that final scene with Julia at the table. So sweet, so sad, so Everwood. :) Yes, I'm cheesy.

I loved Andy having to put up his hand to get a word in edgewise with Mrs. Violet:

Quote:

DR. BROWN: [whispering] I've never been to a parent-teacher thingee. Am I allowed to speak?

DELIA: [whispering] You have to raise your hand.

[He raises his hand just as Miss Violet notices.]

MISS VIOLET: Excuse me, Doctor Brown!

Oh, and Andy's public breakdown, which is still one of the best scenes on the show 87 (?) episodes later:

Quote:

[Dr. Brown drops a quarter in the tank and bends down to watch it drop. Through the glass, he notices Julia standing in the background, watching him. Dr. Brown gets up and smiles, then heads for Julia and kisses her. Brenda just stares at Dr. Brown.]

DR. BROWN: You know it's funny?

JULIA: Hmm.

DR. BROWN: I didn't get the coin in the glass but I still got my wish.

JULIA: You're lucky that way.

[A brief silence ensues.]

JULIA: (CONT'D) Aren't you gonna tell me why I'm here?

DR. BROWN: I wanted to see you. To know that you're more than just a memory. And to tell you that I kept my promise. You didn't keep yours. You promised me you'd be here... in Everwood. But, you're not.

JULIA: I've got bad news for you, Andy, you're gonna be fine.

DR. BROWN: Fine is not great.

JULIA: You've had enough of "Great". It isn't all it's cracked up to be. Fine is real. Now come on... say it.

DR. BROWN: Say what?

JULIA: Goodbye. That's why you wanted to see me, isn't it? To say goodbye.

DR. BROWN: No, no. Not to you. Just to... to this!

JULIA: I understand.

DR. BROWN: You do?

JULIA: Besides, I was never the reason.

DR. BROWN: I don't get it.

JULIA: "He" was, Andy. You came here so you could know "him".

DR. BROWN: Know "who"?

[The camera stops on Dr. Brown's face as he snaps out of it and realizes that half the town is watching his performance including his embarrassed children as well as the Abbott children, Dr. Abbott, Edna, and Irv. Delia walks up to him downtrodden.]

Thanks to Twiztv.com's fantastic transcripts for those quotes, since I have a terrible memory for these kinds of things.

For "Friendly Fire", I loved the real introduction of obnoxious and clueless Andy. I loved Delia trying to find a friend, which was so adorable. And Ephram's reactions to Nina delivering the baby was hilarious stuff.

We'll keep this up for four days and then go on to the next episode. After you've watched the episode, you can comment on it anyway you'd like, big or small. You can focus on certain characters, scenes, quotes, or the episode as a whole. You can tie the episode to the rest of the series, or comment about it as a self-contained episode. It's all up to you! You can always give your thoughts after the four day period, as all rewatch threads will stay open for more thoughts and anymore discussion. Thanks!

If you haven't already, please feel free to comment on our previous episode:

The Pilot

I have been busy this week participating in seders with my Jewish friends and this weekend getting ready to celebrate Easter with my family. I'm definitely going to watch epidode 2 the beginning of next week....I'm sure all the others who showed interest in starting this thread will be posting (like crazy) at that time!

So, let's extend this round.

Good idea, Betty. I'll keep this up basically as long as it has to be to get some good participation. I know people are busy and have other things to do, so we'll extend this one for sure.

I added a couple of pictures to the intro. Whoever introduced me to photobucket created a monster! :lol:

Boy, that person. Little did they know what they were doing! :look:

An extension sounds good; I hope to finally get to the Pilot tomorrow, and I may as well just watch "The Great Doctor Brown" right after, and then maybe I can finally make myself useful for the discussion.

Hee, I love it! Now someone just has to teach us how to do graphics, and we'd be making banners and graphics and popping them all over the place. :lol:

I'll be watching the second episode tomorrow.

Poor images. :(

I'll be watching the great doctor brown sometime tonight...hopefully. Such a hectic time. Eesh!
