Zoe ,'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't think being self-driven and liking Wonderfalls are mutually exclusive. I'd hardly call Kat not self-driven.
I adored the show, but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did.
And I liked Jaye just enough. Never made the leap to Dead Like Me, although I could see the similarities.
That's the odd thing. I really liked Dead Like Me.
I really like Dead Like Me also. Not as much as Wonderfalls.
I'm not offended that anyone doesn't like WF, but I think Jaye isn't necessarily supposed to be likeable. Rather, I think she's inherently skeptical and yet forced to deal with the skepticism in a way that rings true for me.
And I have been sitting here trying to work out whether or not I'm offended by being implicitly called lazy (well, not lazy, but not self-driven, I guess).
I thought George was incredibly annoying and whiny in Dead Like Me. And it made me wonder about why people didn't like Jaye, and about what they were seeing in her. Because I could definitely see similarities.
The characters around George were not enough to draw me in despite her. The characters around Jaye hooked me too, plus I found the acerbity of the writing more addicting.
I love Wonderfalls with a giddy, giggly sort of love.
Some of us live in fear that a talking monkey statue might actually try and make us do something.
Some of us are confident that will never happen to us, because our fanged toy bunny will tell the monkey statue that it doesn't know what it's talking about and should just shut up.
That's the odd thing. I really liked Dead Like Me.
I liked the supporting characters in Dead Like Me, not so much George.
I love Wonderfalls with a giddy, giggly sort of love.
Jilli is me.
The thing that sort of annoyed me was that in order for the show to be even a semi-success (because I tend to think of Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies as working through the same things) they had to make the protagonist likable AND male (although I guess you could argue that both of them were protagonists). I totally identified with George and Jaye's unlikableness. Of course, I also identified with Buffy the most in Season Six.
I didn't dislike WF enough to not watch all of it, though. DLM lost me after the first season. That's a show that I watched kinda the way I eat yogurt - if it's in the fridge, I'll eat it; if it's not in the fridge, I don't think about it. Which is why I don't tune in to the second season of a lot of shows.
