How Cute Is She

My favorite Ephram/Amy scene is when he returns from Europe, they just slept together no strings attached and she finds the postcards he never sent. I don't know why its my favorite scene but to me it means so so much.

I know why you love this scene! It's because it's such a wonderful scene! Ephram so bravely poured his heart out to Amy. The looks on both their faces were just beautiful.
I could never understand how Amy rejected Ephram after that. She wanted her Europe. Europe over Ephram? No way!
(What I mean by that statement...is that I would go or stay in any continent to be with Ephram!) Amy should have taken Ephram back and gone to Europe with him.

Ohh, I wouldn't say that! We are way cool! The Scottish guys have really good cookies!

I love the "tonight I played you" scene... just to say something about these two in this post. I'm pretty sure I've said this before...

Are you talking about shortbread cookies? I was thinking of maybe a Scottish Greg (James McCavoy). :

I don't think that there is another Ephram fan who doesn't love this scene.

Of course I'm talking about shortbread cookies! I like cookies very much. I'm not the James McAvoy fan here ... I've never consciously seen him in any movie.
I MISS MABE! Someone has to go and find her already!



Hmm... it's still not precisely because of Ephram... it's nice to see Amy so vulnerable... and it is also nice to see how much she really feels for him just bursting out of her in that scene.

Oh, you and me both! Does anyone want to take a trip to Africa to find her?!
Seriously...I wish that she would come back!


From an Ephram fan's point of view...it was really nice to see him have the upper hand in this scene and to watch Amy pursuing him for a change. She needed that challenge. It was good for her character.

It's a great one. You can see how much feelings are still there on both sides. I'm really happy she got to see the postcards he wrote her, so she knew he was thinking about her.

Abomasum

Definitely. She's spoiled enough.

Oh, I adore the plane and postcard scenes so much too. Don't forget about the picnic.

Seriously! They took the trouble to get Greg and Treat there in season three, they couldn't have taken Amy and Greg there for a few scenes to show in the opening montage to season three?? It sounds like they had a fantastic time, but as they always say: show, don't tell. Show us Amy/Ephram in New York! I could actually see them moving there, if they left Everwood. Temporarily of course, they would always end up in Everwood.

I really don't understand it either. She never really had a great explanation. After everything Ephram said in that scene, she really had to take it all in, and I liked that, but she barely had a response to Ephram's outpouring of emotion (which, as we know, is hard for him). Kind of a letdown after such an amazing scene, but it doesn't taint that scene at all, IMO.

Abomasum

Do we know that? To me it always seemed like Ephram has no trouble with showing emotion... I always thought of him as rather emotional... from his yelling at his father to the way he told Madison he liked her, that he knew she liked him back and when he blurted out that he loved her just like that, to the "I can't keep being your second choice, not when you're my first" and the "I told you a thousand times" towards Amy before they got together. It all seemed to flow off his tongue so
easily.
It just popped to my mind how very admirable and brave that is, I don't mean to challenge you, it just came to my mind when I read your comment on this and I felt the need to share that thought, because it is something I admire very much about Ephram's character...

'Tos

I think I just used the wrong words because I really really agree that he is emotional, but I'm not sure that he's comfortable with it. Like, he will express his emotions, but I don't think he likes to, he just does. He's very reactionary, especially with Andy.

Mostly, though, I don't think we've ever seen him act the way he did in the postcard scene. That is pure vulnerability, something that he rarely shows. It was a new side of him, I thought. It was wasn't really reactionary either, he slowed down, stuttered a heck of a lot, but collected his thoughts and came out saying exactly what he wanted to say. He didn't just start speaking, he thought about it. That's what I gather from the slower pace to his speech, and he definitely hesitates and thinks about whether he's going to tell Amy about the postcards or not. He thinks about things first, which is rarer for him when he does get emotional, so I think I interpret that thinking as him being more comfortable with expressing his feelings.

Sorry I haven't been on here EVER...I've been in the school play and so I haven't had time to be on the boards that much but now the play is over so I can be on more often.

Abomasum

That definitely is true, 'Tos.

'Tos

Ooh, what kind of play was it? Hope it went well, and we're definitely glad to have you back!

Now onto Ephram and Amy...

I love how we got this huge discussion from my favorite E/A (postcard/sex) scene
