Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 Clever, except there's next to nothing similar in tone or even story. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 27, 2010 Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 I wasn't trying to be clever, Eric. I was just giving my initial impression of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 Well, without sounding uber defensive, lol, or snarky if that's your impression just based on... umm reading the concept, you may wanna watch an episode or two.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 27, 2010 Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 What I liked about this show was how tehy made DID a non issue. The only exposure Ive had to it was from the soaps, most notably OLTL and the person was always downright crazy and psychotic. It was always treated as a problem/ In season 1, Tara was a functioning DID person. She was in sync with her personalities and they worked together. That was quite a different take from the usual dramatic portrayal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 Right and that's not so much true in Season 2, though I guess they had to go that route partly to lead to why it happened (something I am interested in but I hope this Mimi isn't just another deadend to lead to another reason in Season 3...)

Members MichaelGL Posted May 27, 2010 Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 This show is amazing. I sort of feel that even if they get past the DID issues, I think the issues residing within the family itself would be good enough to watch play out on screen IMO. Amello I totally forgot about Gene and him taking the picture. Kate's stories have been schizo this season, going from one plot to another. I hope this new story with her isn't short lived like the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 27, 2010 Members Share Posted May 27, 2010 Warum? She won't. It's like revolving doors. First Junge left, now Soloway. After that. Friends, Sex and the City, West Wing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 IMHO, she steals the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Michael, I agree, but I can't see Showtime being happy with them continuing without the DID "gimmick". Amello, I'm glad to hear that but it makes me all the more curious about next year. Sylph, on Showtime's Tara board the gossip is Saloway IS back--I guess she left last Fall (after writing several scripts, including the finale, for this season) but her project never went to full pilot stage. I'm glad--and it's not quite like Alexa--she was never a show runner, just one of the writers. I don't get your Warum comment. :cry: Agreed and this is the kinda thing I'd hope could be improved if the show became an hour... Though I know it won't--often it feels like we get the key plot points but not the stuff in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Alexa was a showrunner. Warum = why in German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 HA! I find her dialogue sometimes a bit too forced (in a Joss Whedon, someone who I generally like a lot, type way). I remember the pilot of Tara has a really obscure throwaway line referencing Small Wonder, that I doubt 80% of the audience would get (kinda sad that I did). Which is fine, but it didn't even seem in character. Still, she keeps her dialogue largely reigned in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Well im sure all of america wouldnt get a small wonder mention, i bet quite a bit more would than you think would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
