Members detroitpiston Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Please OLTL, FIRE ALL THE NEW TEENS! They make AnnaLynne McCord look like effin Meryl Streep! They all suck, and while you're at it fire Julie Madison for casting their untalented asses. LOL, that's my all time favorite Charmed episode! "Screw you bitch!"

Members Angela Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Seeing Powell always makes me hate Todd a little. Powell was the rapist that didn't want to do it, that looked like he was going to throw up the whole time, the one who felt remorse. But OLTL wanted Todd so through time they've just kept on piling it on with Powell - first a serial rapist (and Todd was that, he didn't just produce a gang rape on Marty), now a .

Members DRW50 Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Wanda Wolek and Carlotta ground them up into burgers. You're exactly right Angela. Everything powerful about the original story has been defiled over and over again. What a wonderful message we get with the constant reminders that Todd is the good rapist.

Members Scotty Posted April 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 I know...it's like they turned Todd into the reformed rapist, while Zach is the one with an ax to grind, and Powell is the crazy one. Good point Angela...of the three, they always wanted to keep Todd. So in order to do so, they always made Zach and Powell look twice as bad as if to say, Todd was the better of three....even though all three committed the exact same crime.

Members leevo64 Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ooh boy, is there only one classroom in all of Llanview High School? Pretty sure that it's the same as the biology classroom. LOL I like the Powell/Marty scenes. Whether or not I agree with propping up Todd by bringing back the other rapists and making them seem crazier and more evil than they actually were, I LOVED the dialogue between Marty and Powell. He's SO putting her on, it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 I dunno about the others, but Powell was always the crazy one. Never trust the clean-shaven yuppie who was "pressured" to gang rape a girl. He creeped me out then and my suspicions of him were eventually vindicated.

Members leevo64 Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 I didn't watch back then. Did they always write him as someone who was about to go crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 No they didn't. He was basically the good kid (follower) hanging out with the shallow follower (Zach) and the leader of the pack (Todd). During the rape and trial, he couldn't handle the guilt well. It wasn't psychoticness, just normal guilt for somebody who feels like scum for what they did and let happen but who doesn't have the balls to make it right. I remember Nora trying to pressure him to tell the truth after she realized the boys were lying and of course him later confessing everything and then wanting to kill himself until Marty talked him out of it. All 3 went to jail, but Powell is only brought out to show that Todd was the "good" rapist since - serial rapist framing poor Todd, . Marty begged him to help her during the rape and he was just thisclose. During the rape, I felt his fear (and dude looked sick to his stomach) and everything was almost as palpable as Marty's. He was the rapist most would have chosen to continue to work with, easily redeemable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhinohide Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 He reminds me of Dylan McDermott http://singleinla.today.com/files/2008/06/dylan.jpg Did I miss the moment where John and Marty checked into the motel and realized there was only one room, and it only had one bed? So far, they've acted like it's no big deal, so I thought maybe I ff'd that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 It would have been so interesting if the show had played Powell as this haunted guy trying to redeem himself for the rest of his life. He was already a Lord, and it could have been really pure, soapy drama to have his story always be about trying to atone for his past and making things better. He could have become a major character and had really interesting story to work through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
