Full Version: Things That We Learned! (some Spoilers!)

First of all, I learned that Megan could actually be a likeable character. For the first time that I can ever remember, she was confident and assertive, even if showing vulnerability as well. When watching, when she died I wasn't sure if she was REALLY dead, but I was just starting to like her. (Boo for the over-the-top focus on the hands during that whole scene though. We don't need to be beat over the head! We know what's going on!) Actually looking forward to seeing her next episode, and this is coming from the guy who started an Anti-Megan post last week smile.gif

I was dissapointed that Shawn wasn't featured more in this episode, and I think that really enforces the fact that he and Collier won't be getting together anytime soon. Shawn's first call was to Tom, and I think that's very telling. I still think that eventually they will have to be on the same side, but it seems that it's going to be painful and take a while. That's alright with me smile.gif

As far as throw-away episodes go, I enjoyed this one, even if I didn't like the fact that it was a dream/ability. As soon as Shawn died, I knew that it wouldn't have any carry-over effect other than the attitudes that people had tword each other. When that happened, I was just able to sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing that it wasn't going to be an important episode. It was nice to see Tom and Jordan and everybody working together. I think they're going to have to soon.......

I also remembered why I hated Diana and Marco. He's way too much of a geek around her. He stammers and looks away and *UG* it drives me crazy. She deserves much better than that, even if I wasn't a huge fan of Ben. With Marco I always felt like it was pity :-P Hopefully this is just a loose end being tied up, and not the start of something new *ug*

I'll post again to this after I watch it again tommorrow and remember some more. (Although I'll ONLY watch this once more. Normally I watch the new episodes 3 or 4 times.) It's 1 am, though, and I'm going to sleep. See you tommorrow!

I agree with you in almost everything.
I still don't know what to think about Megan. I would hate her if she have something with Tom! and I'm still undecided about what's her role.
The other thing that I don't agree with you is that I like Diana and Marco going out together. My opinion.

I am still anti-Megan but agree with your thoughts... she was much more likeable in this show than in others.

No Exit wasn't a throw away episode. It was an episode to set things in such a way that story lines for the rest of the season and possibly nex would be believable.

For example, I have looking at some spoilers and it is likely that Isabelle and Diana need to work with each other. If Isabelle didn't air what her and Diana was thinking just below the surface about each other, it would be a much more dificult sale.

i look at spoilers too but i keep forgetting what they said...what u say seems to follow the logic script sequences put forward by writers,just like maia&izzy talked in the previous epi then this one they seemed more at ease with each other maia had no pb working with or been close to issy,same for diana&marco ,jordan&tom ;tom&kyle; kyle&shawn+jordan yeah a lot of bottle up feelings were fretting right under the surface between these characters some worked through it, some are in that process and well others are still in denial ...but at least we saw key players realize the need to cooperate is more important than letting individual egos and ambitions get in the way whatever they may be

There is no Spoilers that actually say that Di and Izzy is going to work together but considering that they both are going to interact with Tom when the Mark takes him over completely it is not much of a logical leap to think that they may cooperate with each other.

Agree completely. Which is why it wasn't as bad as it was on first glance. Although I've only watched the episode once more. It didn't have the same dramatic feel to it as "Till we build Jeruselem" did, but it was clear to me that they were setting up the rest of the season. I think starting this week it will be a downhill scramble to the season finale.

You guys are so funny, but hey, I am absolutely feeling ya, I don't adore or LOVE Tom, but I can tell you, if they find a love interest for Jordan, I would be wishing the same thing on her. HEHE, man, as fans we can be real bXXX. I am sure you can fill in the x's.

Just as you have said EasyMac...only that Megan dead on the floor...I don't like that pic very much, but I would like Megan to be taken by the PFTF and lost on her way.

Sorry, my meanness got the best of me. I didn't mean to offend anyone by making fun of her being dead.

I don't like that picture either, EasyMac. I don't want to offend you or make you feel you can't post any pictures you want-I'm just saying a personal preference. I know I don't have to look at it but it seriously weirded me out when I ran across it.

What weirded you out the most the fact that the actress was playing dead? Or the fact that she wasn't really dead? J/K laugh.gif

Oh, I just think it's not a nice picture. I mean, I know you guys don't like Megan and that's okay-I was just unnerved to see that picture. unsure.gif

seeing dead people doesn't bother me much--it's when they get up and start walking around that creeps me out. biggrin.gif
