That '70s Show J/H Spoilers and Speculations.

Season eight synopsis:
With changes in their lives and adjustments being made, the gang from Point Place is moving onward and upward in season eight of THAT '70s SHOW. While the kids continue to make the sometimes bumpy and often hilarious transition into adulthood, the parents are forced to deal with an empty nest. DONNA (Laura Prepon) grows more popular at the radio station and realizes that a long-distance relationship with Eric isn’t going to work, so she starts dating again, eventually meeting the person who may actually be "the one." HYDE (Danny Masterson) runs a successful record store – with Leo (Tommy Chong) as his slacker employee – and makes a final decision about his complicated relationship with JACKIE (Mila Kunis). Meanwhile, FEZ (Wilmer Valderrama) reveals more about his family and home country as he grows into quite the local Lothario. And at the Formans', KITTY (Debra Jo Rupp) has problems with no kids in the house, while RED (Kurtwood Smith) has problems because it still seems like there are always kids in the house.

Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love (both airing November 2nd) synop.:
The eighth season picks up with Kitty and Red discovering their empty nest isn't very empty, even with Eric in Africa. Meanwhile, Hyde returns from Las Vegas, where he went to clear his mind after catching Jackie and Kelso in a compromising position. But when Kelso and Donna tell Jackie that Hyde planned on proposing to her, Jackie tries to win him back, only to discover that what happens in Vegas, doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas. Then things go from bad to worse for Hyde, who discovers that while he was away, Leo nearly put the record store out of business. But Hyde's plan to fire Leo goes up in smoke when he ends up keeping Leo and hiring a new guy, Randy. Meanwhile, in an effort to get over Hyde, Jackie drags Donna and Fez out for a night on the town, but ends up humiliated when she reveals a little too much.

Spoilers for Somebody to Love (courtesy of Oriana):
hi peeps! Spoilers for the 2nd episode of the 8th season are here! The episode is titled "Somebody To Love" and let me just say I had a blast for 2 reasons. I got to meet Tommy Chong and got to see Seth Green in person (No, he wasn't in the ep he was there visiting Wilmer and Wilmer made him come out and say hi to the audience though he flipped Wilmer off instead)

They started off by showing us the scene shot last week where Jackie is trying to apologize to Hyde. Hyde tells her it helped him realize that he's not ready to get married yet. Jackie is happy that he said "yet" until dundun this blonde chick (Sam) knocks at the door and tells everyone, including Hyde, that they are married.

The first scene shot Hyde can't believe he got married and doesn't remember anything. Sam comes in and shows Hyde, Red and Kitty pictures of their wedding. Kelso comes in to congradulate Hyde and Hyde quickly makes an exit saying he needs to get to the record store.

Kelso and Hyde get to the record store and find that Leo has turned it into a hangout for he and his stoner friends.

Next scene Donna and Fez are hanging out in the basement. Jackie comes in telling Donna to get dressed because they are going out. Donna is impressed about Jackie's attitude towards everything going on with Hyde. Jackie says that she is not going to stay home and mope she is going to go out and crush some hearts!

Sam and Kitty are in the kitchen talking about her "dancing career." Red comes in as Sam leaves and Kitty tells Red that she thinks Hyde has made a huge mistake and that Sam can't stay there so Red is going to have to ask her to leave.

Next scene was preshot. Hyde and Kelso are at the record store after they had kicked out all the stoners. Hyde is trying to figure out how to tell Leo he's fired. He decides to tell him during the circle, but during the cirlce Randy shows up and says that he found a sign in the window "help wanted." Hyde asked Leo if he was trying to hire somebody but Leo said he just needed help opening a pickle jar. Hyde decides to hire Randy anyways and not fire Leo. (The writers describe Randy and a self-assured, easy-going guy who's always up for a good time. And I know I said I wasn't going to give my opinion but I have to say that I think this guy is going to fit in nicely with the rest of the gang)

Donna, Fez and Jackie are at a bar. Jackie takes off her jacket to reveal a low cut dree (I honestly thought it was a really nice dress but whatever) Fez tells her that she is a tease but doesn't care. Jackie sees a guy at the end of the bar who is smiling at her she walks over to him. He tries to ask her a question and she tells him she is available but not for him. Mark says that he's actually interested in her friend. He gets up and hits on Donna and then asks her to play pook with him. She says yes and Jackie is upset. Fez tells Jackie that he still has her, but then blows her off when a woman, Kim, asks Fez to dance with her.

Kelso, Hyde, and Sam are talking in the Forman kitchen about how Hyde couldn't fire Leo. Sam comments that she understand why he couldn't fire him. She know that Hyde is a bid softie on the inside. Kitty comes in and asks if Red has talked to Sam. She says no and asks why. Kitty quickly excuses herself.

Donna, Fez and Jackie are at the bar. Kim is telling Fez that she is addicted to sex. Jackie, who has been drinking, tells Fez that she can’t believe that guy blew her off and that she is the hottest girl there. She tells Mark that she is the catch of the town but he ignores her. Jackie starts yelling at the entire bar that she is beautiful, engaging, ect, ect. During her rant her dress strap falls all the way off her shoulder revealing her boob to the entire bar. Donna tells her and Jackie runs embarrassed into the bathroom

Sam is in the basement unpacking. Red comes down and tries to tell her that she can’t leave there but Sam show Red some of her underwear. Red gets embarrassed and leaves.

Hyde and Kelso show up at the record store. Randy is there with a bunch of customers. He tells Hyde that he told everybody that Leo is an Allman Brother so they could move the overstocked Allman Brothers albums. Hyde is impressed and makes him Senior Vice President in charge of scams. Hyde also decides he can’t fire Leo.

Hyde and Sam are in the Forman kitchen. Hyde is telling Sam about his day while Sam gets him a beer. Sam is happy that Hyde is telling her about his day and Hyde says “It doesn’t suck.” Red and Kitty come in and tell Hyde that he is dumb for marrying Sam because they hardly know each other. Sam agrees that if Hyde doesn’t want to be married to her that she will pack up her stuff and leave. Hyde, after thinking about it for a sec, says “No, it’s cool.” Red, looking disappointed in Hyde’s answer, says okay.

Back at the bar Donna is trying to get Jackie to come out of the bathroom. Kim tells Fez that she is actually married to Mark and that they go to bars to pick up other people because it gets them hot. Donna says that she and Eric tried that once. Fez is disappointed that Kim really wasn’t trying to pick him up.

In the basement Hyde is talking to Fez, Kelso and Donna about Sam. He says she’s pretty cool and the she got Hyde a beer for no reason. Jackie comes in and tells Hyde that if he is going to run off and get married then they can’t be together anymore. She goes on to tell him that she was stupid for trying to get Kelso to marry her and then try to get Hyde to marry her. She’s tired of making herself look like an ass and she is done with it and done with guys. Then Hyde and Kelso high five each other for screwing her up so badly that they turned her to chicks.

Spoilers from Everybody have fun tonite:
I'm having a little bit of trouble prying spoilers from my buddy, but this is what I have so far about the premiere;

Jackie and Kelso did it in Chicago.

Red got high with the kids' confiscated stash (found after the "talk" the parents had with the kids in the finale).

Charlie tried to help Kelso, who was falling off the water tower. Instead of keeping Kelso from falling, they both fell and Charlie died. What a sucky way to go.

OK OK so I'm not having much luck in the spoilers department for last Friday. Sorryboutthat.

I have managed to get a little bit of spillage from the episode before though! As I think y'all know, crazy Caroline is back. Poor Fez. I don't know for sure if the new guy saw Donna naked, but Red AND Fez did!!!!! WTH?????



Episode titles etc. courtesy of Pumkin:
Thought I'd post this here:

801 "Bohemian Rhapsody"

802 "Somebody to Love"

803 "Stone Cold Crazy"

804 "You're My Best Friend"

805 "Misfire"

806 "Long Away"

Caroline will be coming back this season, I dont know for how many episodes, & so will Seth Green. Theyre only doing 22 episodes this season, so they'll be done filming in February. Thats about all I know thats exciting/newsworthy.

PS And Reds Foot was right, Charlie does die!



Per ianolito:
FYI, the new season will officially premiere on Nov. 2nd with a one-hour episode (probably the first two).

TV legend Mary Tyler Moore will take a trip back in time when she guest-stars in three upcoming episodes of the show. Moore's episodes are scheduled to air in 2006 (exact dates TBA).

Moore will portray Christine St. George, the beloved anchor of Point Place's daily news program, "What's Up Wisconsin?" Christine is one of Fez's regular customers at the hair salon where he works as a shampoo boy, and Kitty is her number-one fan. But when Christine hires Jackie to work as her personal assistant, the forecast is partly cloudy with a chance of mean. Jackie discovers the hard way that the behind-the-scenes Christine isn't like her charming on-air TV personality at all.



Spoilers courtesy of Gennibean: Episode # 805--Misfire
Hey everybody, had a great time at the taping!!! It was Ashton's last show 'for a while', and Demi turned up and they had a cake and everything. Very sweet.

-The whole episode works backward so we start with Red and Kitty's 25th annversary, all the Kids are there.
-The stipper is still with Hyde and holding his hand in ths scene.
-Kelso comes in and PROPOSES to Jackie
-The next scene goes back 2 days and Kelso is sayng how he thnks that him and Jackie belong together. Says he will propose to her. The stripper comes in with something skimpy on and the boys all approve.
-Jackie talking to Donna and Fez in the kitchen. Fez lets it slip that Kelso is going to propose. Jacke says that she has nothing going for her right now, so gets excited and we're led to believe she will accept.
-Donna strongly objects to this saying she is making a mistake.

-Kelso goes back to the boys in the basement and tells them he got a job in Chicago as a Security guard for the Playboy mansion. Hyde tells him this is his last chance with Jackie and says Kelso should propose to her now. Fez agrees saying that Hyde really messed Jackie up and Kelso should take advantage while she's vulnerable. Kelso agrees that he will propose, but is unsure now.

-Donna again speaks to Jackie, saying that she should imagine what lfe with Kelso would be like. A flashforward with KElso walking into their home announcing he had a good day as he had another affair and will make it up to her by buying puppies. The flash forward ends and Jackie still thinks it's a good idea, but by her expression, is starting to doubt herself.

-Back at the Anniversary party we started at, where Kelso proposes, there is a moment of silence and Jackie says flatly 'No' to Kelso's proposal, saying it would be a really bad dea. Kelso immedately starts jumng up and down gettng excited and hugging her saying that he is so happy and that he can now go to Chicago.
-It finishes with a circle scene and Kelso saying he loves and will miss everybody.

This is the main storyline, but there is also a small one wth Donna waiting for Eric to call from Africa, but never does and also Red and Kitty agree to go to the hotel where they spent their wedding night and when they turn up to the party they look a exhausted and happy from their wild time at the hotel.

I've got a question is that the official season synopsis or is it the other one?

Darbi

Who knows. It seems to change every other week.

VU&NICO

Thanks for starting the thread, sweetie.

Cari

I want to see Hyde's face when Fez tells Kelso that Hyde really messed Jackie up.

nasman

She was already messed up.

Darbi

Welcome.

Britain, me too.

I'm still trying to figure out the, "You better make your move soon." comment.

What? Does he plan to have her offed? Poisoned, stabbed, shot...so the stripper can have something decent to wear by raiding her wardrobe...?

What? I wouldn't put it past the jerk right now.

tiny dancer

I love it, Darbi!!

Thanks a bunch for posting the spoilers & opening this thread. I like the name, by the way.

Hmmm...Kelso proposing to Jackie. So what, he suddenly thinks they're meant to be being broken up and having little to do with one another for a few seasons now? Right. I'm guessing this is just a way for Ashton to leave the show for the rest of the season, but they could've picked a less soap operay way to do it. Thank God she had the sense to say no.

The thing that annoys me is Hyde holding hands with the stripper. In almost every other show I've watched, you rarely see the smaller, more intimate subtleties of couples, such as holding hands when just hanging around. That's one thing I loved about Jackie and Hyde, they always found a way to be close even when they were in the background. Now he's doing that with the stripper? I don't like that. I don't like strippers to begin with, and now I have a reason to dislike them even more.

At the rate things are going, it's gonna be a long time before we get our big, happy reunion.

CClar832

I don't know, this horrible Kelso-like Hyde they've created seems not to want her to have much on. Why'd they have to go and ruin him like this? He used to be the best part of the show.

HoneyB103

Darbi

Pretend as if the other doesn't exist...making things between them even more awkward and weird.

And yeah, Clar, I'm with you on the Hyde thing. He used to be one of my favorites because of the whole Zen, cool thing tempered with a guy who geniunely cared about his friends underneath it all.

Now...I don't know who he is. Another character on this show who's been tainted and ruined due to lazy and unimaginative writing.

Felicity Nerd

I definitely think Jackie loved Hyde. And it was her first experience with grown-up love. She would have done anything to make him happy, and it was always obvious how much she admired him. It was almost like she was in awe.

As for her sleeping with Kelso, I don't think it's justified at all, and it's really OOC for her, too. But I do understand that her heart was broken. And I think for Kelso to actually go through with anything says more about him than it does about her.

As for Hyde? I really honestly don't care if they end up together anymore. At this point, they've tainted Hyde so much that I don't even think he deserves Jackie or anyone that would give so much of themselves for him. This entire stripper storyline is a sick joke. I hate it.

Even if J/H don't end up together, I'd still like to see Hyde showing feelings for her, and trying persue her. Jackie's done it enough in the past and she deserves that now.

ETA: Genni, if you get a chance, will you tell us more about the stripper. Any interaction she had with any one else, or Hyde? What she seems like?

I think the fact that Hyde lets his friends ogle his stripper wife pretty much shows that he doesn't seem to take any of this seriously.

VU&NICO

So far the stripper seems so UNNECESSARY. She's just...there. So why? Unbelievable.

Writer's Lounge:
Dumbass Writer 1: Let's marry Hyde off to a stripper. That's funny, right?
Dumbass Writer 2: Damn straight it's funny! What's not funny about a stripper?
Human Writer 3: Uhh, actually I don't think that it's that funny. Actually, it's kind of the opposite.
DumbassW 1: What do you know? Just because you wrote the show until we got here! Ratings went up at least 40% when we got hired!
DumbassW 2: Yeah, Season 5 sucked! Lucky FOX got us in there to straighten up Season 6...and 7 and now 8!
DumbassW 1: You need to shutup with your crappy ideas! Jackie this and Hyde that...blah blah blah! Nobody wants to see them being sensitive and making out all the time!
DumbassW 2: You're so right. Audiences want to see real men! Real men get drunk! Real men go to nudie bars and real men accidently marry strippers!!
HumanW 3: Uhhh....I don't really think that--
DumbassW 1: Nobody cares what you think! Back to the dungeons for you! No food or water until you come back with a better attitude!! Strippers aren't funny...ha!
