Chris Marquette Message Board

I love the scene between those two where she walks into his shed and he's all surprised and she asks him to do her a favor and he's just like yeah, without even asking what it is first. it's a real relatioship of trust. I always like contrasting it to his relationship with Mr. Price and how he thinks Price is just like this pahntom that sucks all the good things out of someone.
I find the Mr. Price character so interesting. First of all, his name is Price; "soulless and corporate" ringing a bell? (Does Price remind you of Les Moonves? Ick.) And when Adam says he steals all of people's great abilities and hides them in a coffin: he doesn't steal them to use them, he steals them and hordes them up. I think in season three Ryan would have used Price to do some real damage. As oppsed to Mrs. Girardi, who is this nurturing creature that allows for other people to grow. Hmmm...maybe in that storyline Joan would bring him "back into the light" through her mother?

Hmmm... lots of interesting stuff going on here.
First off, one thing I always noticed about Adam and God was that after Judith's death, Adam was kind of the only one who ever aproached Joan about her maybe being able to deal with it by talking to God or something. I don't remeber what episode or exactly how the scene goes, but I remeber thinking how cool it was of Adam to take her seriously when all her other friends, especially Grace (and I LOVE Grace) always made these sideline little quips about her being crazy. I find myself wondering if Adam ever spends any time trying to, I don't know, connect all the things Joan is always going off doing with her seeing God. What I hate the most about the show being cancelled is that I feel like Joan would have eventually told Adam again that she sees God, and I so want to see that scene and how that would play out, but I can't. (Insert me shaking fist at CBS.)

I don't know if Adam is a better person to Joan. In the show, everyone seems pretty fallible to me and they all just have to go through these "lesson learned" type phases. Luke and his fear of doing something he won't succeed at, Grace and her relationships with her mother and religion, Mrs. Girardi and her dark past, etc. Also, Joan is more involved with the world than Adam is, so she has more chances to screw up. I've always thought that she was the person who kind of brought him out of his shell and reintroduced him to life, to living, you know? I feel like after his mother's suicide and before Joan he hid in his artwork, and Joan got him to share it, to live with it as opposed to through it. And I know that Joan seems superficial sometimes, but what really got me to like to the show (besides the whole Adam and Joan relationship) is that she really cares about the people around her. She connects, you know? Like the scene in the second episode, I think, where she's sitting with her older brother in front of the playground, and then she asks God to just let him be able to walk, it breaks my heart all the time.
