Wow, 9 years! Happy Anniversary Young Americans!!!

**wolkenfuehlen** · 07-12-2009, 10:45 PM

Chris, it's only been seven years for me personally, and even that feels unbelievable! Seems like it was just yesterday that I saw the show on tv.

"The part about...I love you?" is one of my faves as well. Soooo cute.

Yeah.

But it still makes me kinda sad I didn't even bother putting the names of the two lead actors into it because nobody has heard of them since.

Gay

We miss you here! You should come around more often!

**broken|smile** · 07-12-2009, 10:54 PM

Gay - I never knew you were a YA fan!

I know, Im so sad about the PB board, its such an amazing show its so sad to see it closing

Anja - Yeah, I know, I kept wanting to put Rodney and Marks name there but then everybody would be like, who?

Oh I got so excited about our nnth anniversary I forgot to answer the questions

I started posting on this board months after I read the transcripts and before Id even seen the show, didnt even remember much from the scripts I read except for the awesomeness of Jake and Hamilton, though the awesomeness of the board was what made me sit and watch the episodes from youtube,

I dont think Ive ever made posts as long as ones squeeing about each episode

Favourite character would definately have to be Ryder

Jake and Hamilton also have a special place in my heart but no one will ever be able to compete with Charlie Hunnam.
And my favourite scene, ... you know aside from all the scenes that feature Ryder, Im gonna be weird and say its railroad scene from 'Will Bella Scout her mum' where Will kisses Scout

and wasn't it a good thing that we made you watch it?

Hahaha, I totally didn't answer the questions either, and I asked them!

I accidentally saw the pilot on tv in the summer of 2002, and by episode 2 the following week I was completely hooked! I looked all over the internet for info on the show, and by early 2003 I was so desperate to talk to someone about it I registered here at FF.

Favourite characters are Ryder

, Scout and Jake. (I still think that if the show had continued Grace would've developed into a great character.) Favourite couple is obviously Jake/Hamilton (duh!). I also have a soft spot for Bella/Scout, and Ryder/Josh, if we're counting fanfic continuations.

I adore the entire railroad sequence, with "Goodbye" playing in the background.

I love all the J/H scenes, and I think my favourite J/H is probably the morning after the cotillion. And the goodbye scene in WBSHM.

And I have to say the Bella/Scout scene at the end of the pilot is also one of my favourites. Breaks my heart every single time.

**Shnicky** · 07-13-2009, 06:31 AM

Anja Aw, I know. I've been MIA in most boards here (Ian, Jake G, YA, etc). I'll drop by as much as I can. Plus you and Sheida are sweethearts.

Sheida Oh.

Yep, I'm a fan of YA. I love Jake/Hamilton. I adore their chemistry, it's just amazing.

Fave scene? The washroom J/H scene when they kissed.

Oh, wait, ETA:

JAKE: OK. I keep my cool, but I'm feigning. I try to say goodbye and I choke. Try to walk away, and I stumble. Though, I try to hide it, it's clear-

**autumnღfairytale** · 07-13-2009, 12:46 PM

Happy Anniversary!

And a special hug to our great mods here.

The show introduced me to Matt so I'll be ever gratful for that (I won't mention right now that I wasn't that interested in him around that time

)

***Yellow Mustang Girl*** · 07-13-2009, 01:11 PM

Congrats

**broken|smile** · 07-13-2009, 02:21 PM

Anja - Ill be eternally greatful for you making me watch it

I still find it hard to believe I managed to post enough to become a mod for a show I hadnt even watched at the time

Ryder

We're sharing him

I love all the Ryder scenes, the poker scene with the pen

the finger scene with Will

just every scene with Charlie in it is golden and must be rewatched over and over

The goodbye scene with JH is amazing, 'who said its over' such an awesome quote and it just fits the show as a whole so well.

Gay Aww, youre awesome, we'd love to have you posting here

I love the I try quote too,

Jess

Thanks.

That is such a sweet scene and I love the look on Rodney's face right before he moves in. Plus Jake and Hamilton high-fiving afterwards.

**wolkenfuehlen** · 07-13-2009, 03:17 PM

Jess, seriously? Who distracted you from Matt?

Oh, the hours I have spent staring at the pen, or the finger, and just Charlie

Rodney's face is priceless. It's as if he thinks "should I? really?" and then he just goes for it. And J/H high-fiving afterwards as if to say "yay we successfully made more people question their sexuality!"

Man, I do love this show to pieces.

street serenade · 07-13-2009, 03:20 PM

Does anyone know if that kiss was in the script or if he just did it on whim?

No idea.

Congrats to the board and the show for inspiring such devotion. Anja and Sheida, ya'll are amazing.

**Shnicky** · 07-14-2009, 12:42 AM

Oh, plus I love the theme song, too. So perfect for the show.

Aw, now, I'm missing it much.
