And so true, your experience is so different. If you don't mind, could you explain how you even stumbled across the show and how you ripped through the episodes, what you felt while watching? I'm very interested in hearing about your experience. Quote:
My experience was really different, let me tell you and I won't bore you with the details but for years and years I thought I found the person I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with, I was with this person on and off for 10 years, yet I knew this person never made me feel that type of "magic" you technically should experience with the right person. Then suddenly, in the most amazing way I did meet that very person who fulfilled that "magic" and I knew right away this was the real deal and I found my one. Ironically we met and bonded over this very show, Everwood, if you can believe that. It sounds weird but totally a fact that Everwood and Ephram/Amy, in particular, played a part in this experience for me. I will forever say this is the case. Quote:
Your dedication to your club is phenomenal, I love it. |

I use to wake up at 5AM the day after everwood aired to be able to watch it before going to work... And I remember avoiding most boards the day ForEverwood aired cause it wasn't available in the morning and I took my laptop the evening, sheltered myself in the bedroom and said to my man not to disturb me for 2 hours unless the house was on fire. Everwood was definitely special. It's lovely to hear how Everwood inspired you. Certainely there's something magical about it that make you want to have this kind of love. With someone you can trust and talk with, someone who challenges you and is here for you. It was beautiful to witness those 2 evolve as indivuduals and as a couple. Really. It's true that real life cannot be compared to something like that though you can always choose to see your own magic in a relationship, like Michelle said. It may be less glamourous, but it's real. What i liked the most about EA and Everwood in general is that despite all the universe that was beautiful (writing, music, athmosphere etc), its inner beauty to me was in those simple moments because simple things are beautiful. Like seeing Ephram and Amy dance in the finale, no talk but just pure beauty. You could sense how it was to hold the person you love in your arms. |

Michelle, you might be getting a bit more than you asked for here, but bare with me

Everwood has been shown almost consistently on one or another of the TV channels we get at our house, and every time I saw it during one of my zapping frenzies I changed the channel thinking it didn't look very interesting. I even remember the commercials for it when it was new, but I never even considered giving it a chance. That was until the beginning of September this fall. I stumbled across a scene from Madison's birthday party, and I thought the "boy with older girl" seemed like an interesting storyline and kept watching. And then Emily VanCamp appeared on the screen. The first thing I though was "Wow!". Even though she looked so sad, she was so beautiful, and I could also see that she was a great acting talent. Then came the "We can always get more fries" scene. I immediately felt the chemistry between between those two, and that and the things mentioned above was all it took to get me hooked. I went to my computer and downloaded the first season and started watching it from the beginning. Season 1 After watching the first couple of episodes I was a comlete addict. I must admit the E/A story was the driving force behind this, but most of the other stories were really interesting as well. The Andy/Harold affair was quickly established with me laughing in the background, and Ephram was a delight to see on the screen. He's not the typical annoying prettyboy you get on TV, and his character was also a rare kind. In a world where TV writers always want to show people the basketball captain and the head cheerleader, Ephram Brown was a pleasant break. Anyways, there's one more thing I have to mention about this season, or actually it's about the second, but whatever... Colin's death. I actually shouted "YES!" when he died. I know that must sound cruel, but I was cheering so much for E/A that I was willing to walk over dead bodies to make it happen Btw, where the heck did Wendell disappear to? I know this character was a bit silly in the first place, but they could at least have given the guy a decent send-off Season 2 Actually, I didn't have a problem with E/M. I must be very liberal compared to the rest of the lot on this forum, but I don't think it was wrong or bad. I got the impression that they really loved eachother, and I don't think Madison would go through all the embarresment just to have a fling. I know she was mean to Ephram at times and that the age difference is the reason for that, but I got the impression she really tried. Emily VanCamp. Here's when she proved herself to me as an actress. The way she portraits the depressed Amy in this season was extremely impressive. Also, it was great to see her chasing after Ephram for once. I also loved it when she spoke to Bright about him. For that reason the episode with the "Prom-o-vego" is one of my favourites, with one of my favourite quotes: "You know Ephram what we were talking about earlier. I did love Colin, and, so I couldn't feel that way about you. But it doesn't mean that I wouldn't have..." Although it might sound smalltime, I also kind of enjoyed Ephram messing with Amy's head in 2.21. After being on the "losing side" so many times with Amy, it felt kind of good seing him get back at her. It did make me a bit nervous, but it all turned out allright. Season 3 It's rare to see a TV couple staying together without it getting boring(or filled with meaningless drama). Even though the baby-story was hanging over my head it was great to see these two together. There were so many beautiful scenes. This I've seen mentioned other places on the forum: Hanna took way too much screentime away from E/A. Even though I liked her character I'd rather have seen more of the Greenies. Of course, the same thing has to be said about season 4. Season 4 To be honest this season was just a wait for the big finalé. Of course I enjoyed the stuff in-between, but waiting for Amy and Ephram's reunion was the big thing. Since I had watched the show so intesely over the last three weeks I had a bit of an emotional reaction after watching Foreverwood. It's very unlike me, but I cried, and couldn't even manage to get to work that day. I was so happy about Amy and Ephram, and so sad there wasn't anything left to watch. It felt like losing a close friend. Anyways, I found this place, and it really helped when I found out that Everwood was far from dead. Quote:
I guess I'll might have to wait many years to find something like that, but as I said earlier, for the first time I really want it, all thanks to Everwood. Quote:

Alex, gorgeous thoughts like this one:

Your backstory was lovely. And wow, what a great way to get hooked, watching the Fries scene AND viewing the one and only, EVC. Love your season 1 thoughts. Such a great point about Ephram being a rare character and EA being the driving force with you (me too ) along with Andy/Harold being so prevalent as well. And that's so funny you mentioned you cheered when Colin died. So did I. I actually really loathed that character, matter of fact. I found nothing about Colin that I could even relate to, I just didn't like him, period. Didn't like Colin/Amy, didn't like the Colin/Bright friendship, and certainly I couldn't understand why Nina said the entire town loved him. Huh? Why? LOL Colin's treatment of Ephram was pathetic as well. Sure some of that was due to his unfortunate medical condition but I think we also saw flashes of the real Colin and he just wasn't someone I liked in the least. Quote:
Season 2, that's really a good deal that you were okay with EM, I wish I would have been. LOL Sure I had EA blinders on but I just couldn't warm up to them in any, way, shape or form. I wish I would have like you did. Quote:
I've stated this so many times but seriously, if this show would have been on a major network, Emily would have gotten an Emmy nod for her portrayal of Amy's depression. She was just that good. Man, she shined. She was so incredible. And I'm so with you how it was nice to see Amy pursuing Ephram. I loved how the tables turned a bit then at the end of the season, they totally came together in such beautiful fashion. Absolutely perfect. Your season 3 and season 4 thoughts are so well said and I agree with you so much. Ephram/Amy were rare in that they never got boring, and really, Rina had to make up ridiculous reasons to get them to fight such as the Madison band lie that was utterly out in left field and of course Madisongate as well. But the great thing about Ephram/Amy is that no matter what, you knew they would find their way back to each other and they did just that at the end of the series. That's what was so amazing about the Ephram/Amy lovestory, no matter what their title was throughout the entire series, romantic or not, they were always "together" and you just knew without a shred of doubt they were getting their happy ending and what an ending it was.

I'd like to give you a proper reply, but I've got to get some sleep as I'm leaving for Liverpool in four hours.
See you all in a week __________________

Hmmm... It's time for drastic measures. Tomorrow I'm gonna ask my grandparents if I have a rich unknown uncle somewhere. And we always have internet casinos. If we hit the right colour on the Roulette enough times there's no stopping us. You could even go to Monaco, as it's just around the corner from you if I'm not mistaken? __________________
