| Thank you, Anna, for giving me the chance to watch all those wonders! I just rewatched Confidence, I couldn't let it go with only one vision, Danny is so...  S2 has a different pace from S1, and Danny character, too. __________________ I can resist everything except temptation. (O. Wilde) | |||

| Moderator Support Team | Yeah, the Danny character is different from the two seasons. I think he just gets better and better... *sigh* __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

| So I finally watched Shadows. I liked it very much. First, Jack and his father (Martin Landau rocks) I liked the interaction very much, ALP was really good at making the best of few minutes scenes, and when, at the end, he cut his hair ... I liked how the writers let the actors act the scene without too much words. The MP case was good, the subject delicate. TPTB treated it with sensibility and without taking side. This is one of the thing I most like about WaT, the writers don't feel the need to educate or to impart lessons. Martin EC rocks in this episode! His distress over the whole situation was touching and so... Martin, contained and controlled. I liked the interaction with Samantha and I actually liked Samantha who was supportive without being invading.All in all a real good episode. My only complaint? The absence of Vivian and Danny. __________________ Eric, icon by Meredith | |||

 it's GREAT watching danny chase someone down...  but, er, not so much great when that's ALL he gets to do  (plus the ep as a whole wasn't incredibly exciting either, what with it only taking place over about 9 hours) | |||

| I'm watching S2 in order. Yesterday I watched Cpycat and Our sons and daughters. I should talk about them for hours... Copycat was a little disappointing to me. As if it was made to take Spaulding off the show, no matter how. I was also a bit fed up with tragic backgrounds. I know, I like Danny past , but if Jack had a quite similar experience in losing his mother when he was a kid, and feeling this guilty, how come all of this didn't come out in Clare de Lune? There Jack was absolutely cool, and that case dealt mostly with an apparent mother's suicide... I found out I'm not moved by Jack's tears if they are not related with the case... Sorry for that! On the opposite side, I loved Our sons and daughters. I liked it all, but I was incredibly stunned by the end... it was like watching Cold case!! The same kind of final... same producer, same endings... incredible!! As i said previously, S2 is so much different from S1!! Hey, great Martin in both episodes!! And... where was Danny?? I only happened to see the back of his ears...(Happy birthday Enrique!!) __________________ I can resist everything except temptation. (O. Wilde) | |||

)... what they've added makes sense based on how he acts and what they've already said (like that his dad yelled at his mom and we find out later he was abusive)...but with jack, there seems to be no evidence that he's constantly affected by his mother's suicide (i mean obviously there has to be something driving him as a character, but there was no indication that that's what it coulda been) until they write it in during season 2... and i have to, sadly, agree that jack's pain and tears don't have an impact on me at all... i just can't seem to whump jack... great character of course, but whumping him is tough when most of it is written in as convenient plot points and randomly placed in...  | |||

| I'll reserve myself the right to talk about Jack when my ideas will be clearer. It's just that yesterday I watched In The Dark, and tonight, it was Thou Shalt Not Fault and Light Years turn (I want to see all the Season 3 episodes before leaving for my vacation), and I've mixed feeling about Jack right now. I would like to know what all of you think about the situation with the divorce, the consequent mess about Vivian promotion, and the over the top behaviour of Jack at the end of Light Years (for those who don't remember, it's when Jack force the MP to confront his past trauma). Speaking of Light Years, while I liked the bit of conflict between Vivian and Jack, I don't think that Vivian had the right to mix Jack personal life with the job aspects, I think she was angry (and rightly so, for having lost her promotion) but she, too, acted a bit over the top. What I'm not liking about the - only 3 - episodes I watched so far is that most of my attention keep being drawn to the personal storielines, and the MP cases go slightly on the background. Last, I wanted to add that the opening scene of In The Dark was extremely hot, it almost made of me a shipper *fan herself* __________________ Eric, icon by Meredith | |||

well, as per jack's divorce and viv losing her promotion basically because of it... i'll agree that as much as i like jack, i do have mixed feelings, partly cuz i like viv MORE and partly cuz jack's divorce got us the ep which was, in my humble opinion of course, the most boring of the season (not even because there was no MP case)... i certainly felt bad for viv losing her promotion but at the same time IIRC it's not completely jack's fault, as he asks for a lower position and it's his boss that gives him his old job back instead... so, like i said... mixed feelings... | |||

Last night.... oh, please, someone tell me a good typical American exclamation!! I watched A tree falls! Wow wow wow! I'm speechless, when you watch an episode in which both Danny and Martin get moved by the case that much, and you get those reactions (and I'm relating especially to Martin's one!!), what can you ask for more??  __________________ I can resist everything except temptation.

Regarding Jack's divorce, while I can understand how Marie couldn't get past the affair with Sam and how Jack is such a workaholic, she should not have made it seemed like she was willing to work on the marriage when she really wasn't. She was a true bitch at the end, simple as that. Her behavior was cruel and unnecessary. About Vivian's promotion, I didn't really like the way that was handled and I felt bad for Vivian. Although I never wanted Jack to leave and I wanted him to have his old job back (he's one of my favorites, sue me), I think it could have been dealt with differently. If the writers weren't going to have Vivian keep the job, it should have been written that she left that position on her own, somehow, not for it to have been taken from her like that. The end of Light Years? Hmm. I gotta think about that... __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||
