More power to the ones who remotely liked Ephram/Madison and even cheered for them. I almost wish I did belong to that group but it's simply never happening. I am far too grossed out, I can't help it. |

I wish I could mildly tolerate them but I can't. I enjoy the Bright/Ephram scenes that might mention her but it's because of Bright/Ephram interacting, not the topic at hand. I believe Madison had feelings for Ephram but I don't think she was in love with him. I agree she was hiding from her own true self while being with Ephram and you guys are so right how she would go back and forth in her personality because of guilt and knowing the relationship was wrong which made their physical aspect all the more disgusting. As for Tommy... couldn't stand him (I agree with you two, Alex and Michelle, how he was totally unattactive, too, it didn't help!) and definitely I think he was using way before meeting Amy. That did not just all of a sudden start out of the blue. I honestly couldn't stand either pairing, Ephram/Madison, Amy/Tommy, but I'm also with you guys that given how Amy/Tommy were short-lived, didn't sleep together, and they weren't with teh GROSS tag to them, they were easier to handle on the screen than Ephram/Madison, who were cringe-worthy for me from start to finish. Also, I felt zero remorse for Madison as she told Ephram about the baby in NYC because of when she told him. I hated her before this and that didn't help but her timing proves what a complete idiot she was and always was for that matter. |

Good question on Madison. What do you think she would have done or how she would have reacted? I honestly have no idea! Quote:

I actually think Madison might have rebelled and not listened to Andy. She seemed to have an attitude the moment she met him, why stop while sleeping with his son.
Yes, I am not fond of Madison. |

I just loved the realness between them. Flawed = perfect for them. We see the one step forward, two steps back deal going on and while frustrating, it was still realistic and made tons of sense. Whenever they finally get to a wonderful place in season 4 it makes what they went through together TO get there all the more believable. Quote:

As you can see....I have been hiding from this discussion. At least I know that Alex felt the same way about the Ephram/Madison relationship as I did. So, my feelings can't be that bad. .
I have to agree with all of you, however......I despised her horrible timing in informing Ephram about the baby. I was also very disappointed in Andy when he told Madison, "Tell him Everything," which elicited the reply, "I plan to." Why the hell didn't Andy ask her to wait until AFTER the audition to tell him everything?!? Why is it that the fans are the only ones with logic in these situations? |

JK. I have told her plenty of times she's nuts, but not for this. It is interesting, though, that Alex watched EM after knowing what happened at the end of season 2. I have to wonder if she might have had different thoughts if the episode watching was different for her? I've never asked her about this. Hmm. Quote:

She then blurted it out without thinking. (I was still infuriated that she did that!! )...but maybe she really didn't want to do it? She didn't squeal on Andy. She took all the blame....(although most of the blame was hers because she really shouldn't have listened to Andy in the first place. |

That's what I find so ironic... why did she listen to Andy about not initially telling Ephram? Was she just way too confused, upset, vulnerable and weak, essentially in shock, over her pregnancy so she went all passive and listened to him? Couldn't she think for herself back then? In NYC at their meeting I had the impression that Madison did hold Andy accountable for why she never told Ephram from the beginning and I thought that was so unfair and ridiculous. Like I said Andy strongly suggested she not tell Ephram that she was pregnant but he did not threaten her, he didn't do anything that prevented her from using her own mind and decision-making. It seems she felt he did take away her rights though based on her anger.

Hee, Betty, feel free to shout your opinion out loud, whether it goes against the grain or not.

Agreed about the audition fiasco, of course. Quote:

Watched this ep last night, and it was really good!
Bright singing Independent Woman is hysterical, I loved Harold's barb about Andy being "as persistent as a wart virus", Rose knowing everything & being a really good reader of people/knowing a good romantic match. Ephram's jay-bird babble was really funny & reminded me of Seth Cohen of The OC's babbling (and the gestures Ephram made when Delia invited Madison to her slumber party reminded me of Seth's mad gesturing in the ep where he, Summer & Ryan are trying to get Marissa out of hospital) and it also made me think of Lorelai of Gilmore Girls rant about how scary her brain is and she makes a whole load of examples of connections her brain makes, ending up with "monkey-monkey-underpants". I love both The OC & Gilmore Girls, mainly for their nerdy, pop-culture-loving, well-read characters! Tommy's eyebrows reminded me of Peter Gallagher's, but, other than that, I think he's quite good looking! I definitely got a slightly stalkery/let's take advantage of the troubled girl vibe from him when he was watching or talking to Amy. I also felt Madison's speech to Ephram was incredibly emotionally manipulative, as she'd realised how he felt about her for quite a while and it just came across so wrong! Also ewww to her coming into his room towards the end of the episode! It's also weird to see Andy & Ephram cohabiting quite happily, not arguing/yelling or biting eachother's heads off, so I had to watch The Unveiling to compensate! I love that both the Brown boys are into the big romantic gestures though, that's something else they have in common! Last edited by Louisa C; 04-04-2010 at 05:53 AM |

I was thinking, since we've got some momentum, which rocks, maybe I should just post the next episode a day or two early so we can get on it, while still keeping any discussion going here, of course. Everyone okay with that? __________________
