Felicity

Yay or Nay? Shall I watch it? Will I like it? Does it have angst? And cute boys? And drama? Anything?

I hated it, so it could totally be the thing for you ;D

Have you ever heard of/seen Wonderfalls? It was cancelled very quickly, so there's only one DVD, but they had time to write a happy ending. Don't know if the main character will hit your fancy though. I liked the show a lot, very quirky. Kaylee from Firefly gueststarred :D

What is Wonderfalls about? If it's only one DVD it must be no more than 5 eps!

You laugh but it's totally true :P

Oh, I meant just one set. I think it's 13 episodes, half a season.

Wonderfalls: Basically, girl who hears voices. Like Joan of Arcadia, but without the religious angle and without the crappy second season.

I think the big problem of Felicity was that I just hated the actress and constantly wanted to throttle Felicity. Kinda ruins the mood of the series if you hate the heroine. Why not go straight for Gilmore Girls? (my second degree cousin loves both; she loved Dawson's Creek and Roswell as well) Or is it that "series not finished" factor?

I vote Yay! I really enjoyed it. There is angst. And very cute boys. And drama. It does get annoying sometimes, but really as a whole I have very fond feelings for the show.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Sounds good. Does it have a happy ending.

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

It depends.

What happened was JJ Abrams thought the show was going to end, so he did an episode that could be considered a series finale, and then he made 6 other episodes after that. It's about 50/50 with people liking/disliking the additional episodes. They involve time travel. I thought it was a happy ending both ways, but it was a little odd.

I have a fondness for the show because I went through college with Felicity. She was a freshman when I was and she graduated when I did. Also, I love Scott Foley. And Scott Speedman. And Jennifer Garner is in a few episodes, and Keri Russel is adorable. And I *love* Greg Grunberg.

Yes! :loves it: Actually, I need to get the DVDs and see it again. I lost it along the way.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, I can see my next marathon coming up!

I just love how pleased Logan looks in your icon.

call me another vote for jumping straight to Gilmore Girls. the premise actually works because the writing is so frickin' GOOD! (all hail Amy Sherman-Palladino and her endless wit.) much drama, healthy doses of angst, endless clever repartee and cute guys. besides, next year will be the final season, so you can marathon the other six and either watch next year, or wait for the dvds.

i did honestly try to like The Hair Felicity, but the total lack of acting ability on the part of Keri Russell makes it very hard. also the fact that she is the stupidest female character in existence doesn't help matters. sure there is drama and angst, but only because of her lack of brains. the only thing that held me in an oddly fascinated sort of way was that Scott Foley is a dead ringer for my, um, gosh, what would i call him? anyway, guy i snogged a lot in college. so the show left me annoyed and horny. ;)

ROFL.

I don't mind dumb heroines, I watch Bollywood after all. :P

GG? Everybody and their dog loves it, but for some reason I just can't get interested. Maybe I will once it's all over.

[eccequambonum.livejournal.com]

have you watched any GG? hell, i gave my mom (queen of ADD and wandering away from movies) the season 1 dvds and she was addicted 5 minutes into the pilot. she has marathoned through season 5 (yeah, went out and bought the rest herself). i'm flabbergasted. okay, so i didn't think she was really going to be quick enough to pick up all the pop-culture and english lit dialogue references. . . .

honestly, it's the one show that has me laughing aloud at least twice an episode.

As always, I recommend staying far, far away from anything that J.J. Abrams has anything to do with. But it depends on your tolerance for triangles. The show was one long triangle. It drove me away after a couple of seasons.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. I don't mind triangles (though I prefer soulmatey OTPs a la Max/Liz or John/Aeryn) as long as I know in advance who the girl ends up with...

I'll see an ep or two and see if it's my thing.

Makes sense. So you can decide whether you agree with her choice.

[adhuri-roshni.livejournal.com]

If you want to check out a few first season episodes to see if the DVD's are worth it, I'd be happy to upload them. :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Eeeee. You are so sweet. My computer is uber slow though, so if I watch them, I'll have to rent them instead..

FANAA ICON!

[adhuri-roshni.livejournal.com]

Aw if you're sure. I vote yes for Felicity although I'm biased since it was one of the first shows I ever tuned into week to week along with Buffy, GG and Roswell back in middle school. ;)

Wonderfalls while short-lived was also lovable in its quirkiness. I adored the heroine with all her issues. I never understood why Joan of Arcadia went on for seasons while FOX couldn't even give Wonderfalls one whole one. :(

[ange-louise.livejournal.com]

Like you need another opinion, but I vote nay on Felicity too. The main character/actress was so insipid and boring, it just annoyed me. See also McBeal, Ally.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ally McBeal just sounded boring so I never got around to it...

[dreamybritactor.livejournal.com]

I LOVED IT!!! It is so like Dawson's Creek. I think you should at least give it a try. There is some drama, some angst, some cute boys. A girl's life and how she got along with people.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am going to check it out!

[cosmicviolet.livejournal.com]

Well, I loved it. But that's just me. Felicity and Ben are great together, and Ben is sooo adorable. Plus, you like angst, right? So there's some of that.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, love angst. And this has angst, you say? YAY!

[muffinkath7.livejournal.com]

I love Felicity. I say yes. I'll be interested to hear if you like Ben or Noel, or whether you were like me and always wanted her with the one she wasn't with. Sigh. A great, great triangle. Which is rare.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

OK. will check it out :)
