“When Lucy and Mina are together no one can get into the bubble. And I think, being with Mina is the only time Lucy
really is completely herself, and there's something so beautiful about when they’re together.”
JESSICA DE GOUW

“I think the important thing to know about Lucy is how she feels about Mina, how her relationship with Mina shapes her.”
KATIE MCGRATH

“Lucy's whole life is Mina. She's her best friend, and this is the person she feels closest to, and I think Jonathan has always
gotten in the way of that. I think if Lucy could have Mina all to herself she would.”
KATIE MCGRATH

“I think for me, one of the most interesting parts of this take on Lucy was her relationship with Mina ... She's sex and sass
and attitude and all of these things! But you see her real humanity and what's really going on in her relationship with Mina.
That's the only real thing about Lucy. For me that was really interesting. What attracted me to her was that relationship
and what it does to her throughout the ten episodes. That and I also got to work with Jess!”

"I love you, Mina." "And I love you."
"The only thing that's ever mattered."
"We will always be friends."
"Oh, Mina, darling. You're so terribly clever and yet so terribly stupid."
"It would be my pleasure, Corporal Westenra." "Captain Westenra."

past.
"Lucy is Mina's best friend and very loving to Mina — in more ways than one."
"What are you thinking about?" "You."
"I've always loved you, Mina. I didn't realize it till now, but I now know that I always have."

“When we were shooting that, me and Jess, Jess didn’t agree with it. She was like, I’d never do that to Lucy. We didn’t
want to shoot it like that but the producers made us. ‘Cause Jess was like, She’s my best friend, I would never be upset.
We had huge arguments about it, so that was the show, that wasn’t us. Jess and I had a different idea.”

I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we
can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.

I wish I were with you, dear, sitting by the fire undressing,
as we used to sit, and I would try to tell you what I feel.

So they definitely did this on purpose then... why would they cut the hand if it's not because of it?

Maybe NBC thought it was too ~risque.

But then again, they've not cut any of the Grayson/Jayne sex scenes, so maybe the cuts WERE actually intentional.

DGSAFDMD · 01-11-2014, 04:39 PM

I think Grayson/Jayne was WAY more raunchy than Jonathan/Lucy, they were super light compared to them IMO.

The point is, they cut off almost all of those additional shots that kinda suggested that she's into it, or implied some level of intimacy between them. They only left that first backgrab.

EDIT
BTW, I look at this scene over and over, and is it just me or she kinda looks now like she's going to cry in the very last moment?

Maybe I've just watched the scene too many times now, but yes, I think so. You can totally see her being like "I've made a terrible mistake".

IA. You had actual ****ing bodice-ripping with Grayson/Jayne. Not to mention the pilot where they have like five shots of his hand up her skirts between her legs.

Neisza · 01-12-2014, 09:49 AM

I noticed interesting thing. Both versions of the sex scene are of practically of the same lenght - about 23 seconds (maybe 24 in UK version). And shots at Lucy's face after Jonathan went down on her are actually a bit longer in US version.

**majesdane** · 01-12-2014, 10:35 AM

Good catch.

I'd really love to know what was the motivation/reasoning behind them making the edits they did.

DGSAFDMD · 01-14-2014, 09:22 PM

Has anyone asked the director about this? I still haven't watched episode 9, can you believe it?

baelfire24 · 01-14-2014, 10:53 PM

Thanks for the new thread.

Someone did ask Cole, but I don't think he responded. He might not have seen the US version.

How could you have not seen 109 yet?!

I can't believe 110 airs tomorrow.

I'm not ready to say goodbye.

I haven't seen 109 yet either. I'll get to it this week for sure.

**majesdane** · 01-15-2014, 10:27 PM

You guys need to watch it already!

So 110 airs tomorrow. Let's see how this goes ...

DGSAFDMD · 01-16-2014, 04:13 PM

I heard the finale was ****. Someone needs to watch and tell me if Lady Jayne died cause if she did... IF SHE DID.

I don't think I want next season anymore, since the thing I feared most just happened.
