Bryan told me, specifically, not to spoil people for the finale

Okey. But he didn't tell me not to. So there. Said with love, of course, because I get that. I was offered the chance to recap all the episodes for Popgurls, which I would really immensely love to do (because, hey, love Popgurls, love writing about something I love, and need a cool project). But I ran it by Tim and he said no, so I'm not. Because it was Tim. So I get where you're coming from on your board, feeling like you made a personal promise and sticking to it.

But here we have a spoiler thread, and so, Jaye and Eric get together, Heidi-ho leaves town and divorces his sorry ass, Majandra and Aaron come out of the secret affair closet, and the wax lion lives.

Oh, I have no problem with people talking about it here -- I'd never presume to tell someone what to do on their own board. I just wanted to keep my promise to Bryan, and I have on my board, so I'm happy.

Do you think the Popgurls offer will still stand after the DVDs are released? I'd really like to read recaps by someone who actually likes the show.

I liked the finale. I'm happy with how it ended, and I'm fine with there only being the one season. I did want to see more Aaron/Mahandra stuff, though -- how Jaye reacted, what the parents had to say (they looked happy)... just stuff like that.

And I loved Heidi, in all of her episodes. Am I the only one?

Do you think the Popgurls offer will still stand after the DVDs are released?

I keep meaning to ask Tim again about recapping, but then I get distracted by shiny metal objects. I don't know, I'll have to ask the Gurlies.

But Cranberry, I assumed that you meant us in this post and that we shouldn't be talking about. Not to speak for Allyson or anything.

Oh, I was talking about you then... I was under the impression that whoever provided the DVDs you saw had asked you guys to keep it quiet, too, because a couple people here mentioned having seen the finale but wouldn't (and I thought couldn't) give details. So when I said "they're not allowed to spoil it," that's what I meant. That was back before everyone started discussing it here in detail.

I think they wouldn't give details because it was only one or two. Then it grew.

Cranberry's post was made shortly after this post. Allyson "Lovesick, my Ass!" May 7, 2004 10:16:18 am PDT

and just a few hours before this one ita "Lovesick, my Ass!" May 17, 2004 2:25:23 pm PDT

Ah. Recap is a detailed summary, a play by play.

Discussion, like the one we had with totem mole is a lot different in my mind.

I was also very hush hush because I was getting annoyed at having to evade questions about where we got to see them, and why.

Thanks... yeah, that was the one that threw me. It's all cleared up now though, right? Finale spoilers here = good, finale spoilers on my board = bad.

I saw Barrel Bear and Totem Mole today, too. I was sort of disoriented by Barrel Bear because it was obviously an earlier episode, but still didn't seem to fit anywhere in particular. I liked it better than Totem Mole, though. I can't explain why, but TM felt kind of "off" to me, much like Safety Canary did. I enjoyed it more on paper.

Barrel Bear did not cause the full on hate for me that it did for Allyson. But it was weird. Kinda out of charactery.... like too zany send up.
