*glares at your brain* REMEMBERRRR.

But I hate it when my brain does that, too.

Jackie totally freaked out in "Hyde Gets the Girl". She was all insecure. I like to Zenify that, but of course it has nothing to do with Hyde. Just Jackie's ego.

Jackie loved attention, so she wanted to become a celebrity. She probably would've ended up like Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock without Hyde's influence.

I am definitely glad Jackie had Hyde's influence.

I like to zenify anything I can, hehe.

MistyMountainHop

Zenifying is a definite hobby.

Had Donna actually gone off to college, I wonder what Jackie would've done. She likes to have a friend-girl to confide in... Who would've filled Donna's place?

msstock87

Fez? Just kidding...kind of. Fez at times was more feminine than Donna.

MistyMountainHop

No, you're actually onto something. Jackie confided in Fez an awful lot during season 7. So Fez is the replacement Donna.

Now who would Donna confide in if Jackie weren't around... oh, Hyde. Der. But not in college.

Speaking of Donna in college, I can see her thriving academically. And if she found a group of like-minded feminist/journalists, she'd have the time of her life. She'd probably end up working at the college radio station, too -- although that might be a little weird going from a mainstream, biggish station to a small one.

I actually liked Jackie and Fez's friendship. I thought it was cute.

I think Donna would be great in college. She seems like she would be involved in a lot and be awesome academically.

MistyMountainHop

I liked Jackie and Fez's friendship/worship/whatever before season 4. But their friendship in season 7 was manipulated into foreshadowing for a romantic relationship in season 8.

Jackie tried to help Fez get some action at that wedding they went to, and it was nice that he *went* to that wedding with Jackie. But them supporting each other (mostly) couldn't create physical chemistry -- no matter how the S8 writers tried to force it to happen.

And Donna agrees.

msstock87

That is mostly what I was referring too. I liked some of their comedic moments together in seasons 1-4. Like when they were decorating for Hyde's 18th birthday party.

In season 7, they had some cute moments together like at the wedding, but it gave ammunition to the season 8 writers to try to turn it into being romantic. Had season 8 been written correctly, I may have felt differently about their friendship in season 7.

Of course Donna agrees. Donna can be very smart.

MistyMountainHop

Yeah, Jackie and Fez's interaction during "Hyde's Birthday" was funny. Of course, she tried to slap him. And then she kissed Hyde, which is how all episodes should end.

I love that Donna ended up taking over the decorating for the party, unasked. Again, I wish T7S fans who hate on Donna could recognize all her good qualities.

Donna: "I'm freakin' feminine!"

msstock87

Haha I loved that line, " I'm freaking Feminine".

Donna did have a lot of good qualities that I liked about her. I also loved her ability to be one of the guys and just hang out with them. That is kind of how I was.

MistyMountainHop

Me, too. I'm a mixture of Donna, Eric, and Hyde -- and a dash of Fez (for the ability to turn anything into a dirty joke). How about you, Colleen?

In season 1, Donna really seemed like one of the guys. Which is why she needed Jackie to help her relate to Eric as a girl.

msstock87

I would say I am mostly a mixture of Hyde and Donna with a tiny bit of Jackie splashed in.

MistyMountainHop

Really? How are we even talking?

(Kiiiiidding )

Before season 5, Red seemed to like Donna very much -- or, at least, think Eric was lucky to have her. But then he blamed Eric's love/lust for Donna on Eric's bad grades.

And except for "Career Day" in episode 1, Red didn't have much of a relationship with Jackie. And when he did interact with her, it was mostly hostile on his end.

msstock87

Haha, it's mostly Donna and Hyde. I just get excited about things like Jackie does sometimes.


I wish we could have seen more of a relationship with Red and Jackie. Their career day moment was amazing and I think we could have seen more of that.

MistyMountainHop

I wish they'd kept in Jackie's mechanic skills/interest. It would've made her character more complex. But the T7S writers didn't write or think that way.

She could've surprised the hell out of Donna by fixing Eric's car. You'd think Donna would make for a good mechanic.
