From what Jessica said in interviews, it was just the age difference. She wanted to party, and he wanted to cozy up at home. Breakin' up was inevitable.

Could be Michael's older bro Chrisisall

I'm currently up to my last 2 eps of S2, that'll make this like, the 6th time or something.
Did you get to 'Hello, Goodbye' yet?
Just for fun last night I watched 'Boo', one that's not on my list of good ones. Makes it only the second time I've seen it. The ending was cool, but this is still one that I'll revisit only rarely.

Harsh on goofy DA eps Chrisisall

No don't think I was that keen on Boo either - am hankering after the first series again at the moment!!

Just watched Fuhgeddaboudit which I found in parts annoying but otherwise loved the fight scenes with Max and Alec - oh I love Alec - sigh!!

About to watch Hello Goodbye but watched the start before work - saw what happened and decided I needed to pay attention adn sit down and watch in one shot so am off home to do so this instant ....

Well Zoot, sounds like you're having a fine time. My relatives in Scotland came for a visit and I got them hooked on Season 1. My cousin went out and bought Season 2 once she got home. I loved both seasons, cheesy eps and all. I am completely in love with anything Joss does, but I was thoroughly into the show. Alec I thought was a good dynamic and there's an ep that show you why he's such an ass (likeable, but still ass). My absolute favorite characters are Original Cindy and Joshua. Yes, the shows about Max, but I think the help carry the show. There is also a trilogy of books out there about the show. The first entails season 1, the second season 1 up to the finale of season 2, and the third about what happens after. REALLY GOOD BOOKS!!!! I forget what they are titled something like DA:After the Dawn, Before the Dawn and something else. It helps for any questions about the show and bridges some gaps. Anyway, just wanted to say something. Hope all goes well and if you read the books let me know if you liked them or not.

Silmarwen, didn't you thing the end of the last book was kinda rushed?

Select to view spoiler:


I mean they made it all come to zip with the comet, like the breeding cult just wasted centuries for nothing!? I was left goin' "what?!"

Too bad, I really liked it up until that.

Always complainin' Chrisisall

Oh my! Watched Dawg Day Afternoon and She Ain’t Heavy last night – liked them both, though felt the blind girl needed to be dead – which she then was so, hey, good call ….

One question: How the hell do their pagers and cell phones work way down deep in the sewers? Have cell phone reception signals got way more advanced in 2020 or am I supposed to just not ask? Thing is, in DDA, its kinda a major plot device that Max’s phone goes off in the sewer ….

Its killin’ me that I have only two episodes left to go – why did I have to watch them all so fast?? Why, oh why did they make the series so short? Why, oh why, oh WHY did they not do a 3rd series??????


Am off to look for the books ....

Yeah, though I think Boo is much better the second time you watch it - it makes you appreciate the surrealism. The first time I thought it was really bad, but I have since re-watched it, and think it should be considered as one of you 'OK' eps cisall.

...and we will call it...this land...

Yeah, that did kinda bum me out. I think they just ended like that otherwise they'd have to write another book.

At least they FINALLY got together

I understand what your saying, but hey not everyone can be Joss or Decandido.

Other than that one point, though, I thought they were really well written, and captured the characters perfectly.

You're right. It's done.
I especially love where she's naked on the Space Needle (no, not 'cause you see skin! 'Cause we've all had that dream of being naked and helpless to do anything about it! Uh.. well, seeing skin is good, too...)

Another perv Chrisisall
