  1. Because he sings what you like. But I see what's bothering you, I never expected that from you.
  2. Of course there is a difference. We're witnessing the transformation of what soap opera means. The classic, feuding families, happenings in a small apartment complex or what happens in a small town soap has become a thing of the past. Largely. Various other types of TV series took elements of soap operas and used (transformed) them for their own purposes. So we have Heroes (a bad soap, but a soap), Lost, Brothers & Sisters, ER, 24, Fringe... Those are all soaps. Genre studies is an interesting field. At least for a while. They do that sometimes. But it is a part of the show and you just have to accept it.
  3. Then, maybe, from his last album Blame It On The Girls and I See You might be for you. LOL @ Eric not liking Mika!

  5. Parallel timelines. One where an event happened, one in which it didn't. And they go concurrently.
  6. Well, not in my world. It has elements of a procedural, but a lot of soapy twists, turns, long-term (seasonal) stories, uses non-linear narrative devices... We've had flashbacks, flashforwards and this season we have flash-sideways. It has a narrative, the haters say it doesn't.
  7. True. That's why you need to say I want a feuding families kind of soap. It's a serial, it's a soap. It tells how the past of characters influences their present. A classic soap opera trademark.
  8. Primetime is full of soaps these days. Damages is a soap. Lost is a soap. Brothers & Sisters is a soap. Countless others.
  9. Yeeess! I got totally sucked into it!
  10. I remember that story very well. Didn't Steven also yell at everyone at school calling them shallow or something and then leaving the Bay?
  11. Steven wanted to nurture the kid's talent, but Melissa's character refused.
  12. I liked both Hidden and Wild.
  13. I hated her... She had a child who was a prodigy in maths, right? There was that Steven Matheson or what was his name who was the high school maths teacher...

  15. So, alpha, do you listen to Lady GaGa?

  17. You should. I would be interested in reading what you thought of it. It's Anne and Jaz do Middle East. She said she would do many things differently now, but loved the experiment. Anne is great. Too bad she doesn't do music for more Hollywood films and more str./orch. arrangements in pop.
  18. I was just about to ask about that one (if anyone has any articles, interviews...)! Bill Bell's only journey into primetime... Irna co-created and she was a consultant on Peyton.
  19. Do you have the writing credits?
  20. Jack!!! Instead of increasing the size of those vids, decrease it!
