October Road

Jeez. That's what I get for trying to write it all in a hurry.

No, I didn't do that to Adam... at least not that I remember. I give Adam a little more credit than to almost cut his weenis off in his zipper

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 May 08 :: 01:37

I certainly hope you're right about that. But I could see it happening if Papa G walked in on him with Joan in an alternate version of Experiments.

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 01:41

In that case, yes. But um... would they risk doing that in her house?

justme · 15 May 08 :: 02:11

I'm really sorry it's gone. OR was a really great show. Someone told me that "Ronnie" & "Janet" had posted on the ABC forums and that "Ronnie" had even speculated on what might've happened to the characters in the future. I'll have to find and read those.

The story was really cute, Laura.

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 02:20

Here's what he wanted to happen:

Aubrey told Nick that she needed more and wasn't going to get that from him, in turn Ronnie told Nick that he has been in love with Aubrey for a long time and wanted his blessing, and assurance there'd be no, "weirdness". Nick gave him his blessing and turned his attentions to Hannah, naturally. Ronnie moved out of the house and back to California with Aubrey and now lives there with their little baby Ronald .
The Commander survived his cancer and now resides in Palm Springs, close to his grandson. He plays bingo everynight

Aww. Jonathan, you're so cute, wanting everything to happen all happy and easy.

We might be getting a finale, even though it's canceled...

'October Road's' Josh Appelbaum Paves The Way For a Finale
By Korbi Ghosh
May 14, 04:30 PM
Although we've come to the end of the Road, Josh Appelbaum, his writing partners, the viewers (me, included), we just can't let it go. Despite the team behind October Road already scoring a new gig -- running ABC's remake of the BBC's Life on Mars -- they have not forgotten their promise to give OR's dedicated fans the resolution we desire.
"We got the call that the show was cancelled on Tuesday at 9:45 in the morning," Appelbaum told me today, "And by 10 o'clock at night, me and [co-executive producers] Scott [Rosenberg] and Dre [Nemec] were writing the finale. It's sort of like therapy for us, but the most important thing is that it means closure for the fans."
Apparently, everyone in the cast, from Bryan Greenberg to Penny Johnson feels the same. "I called each one of them and they were all just unbelievably gracious," Appelbaum shared. "I went down the list and said, you know, we're planning on doing this thing, and every person said, just tell me when and where and I'll be there."
The details? It will likely be in three parts, run about 15 minutes long and pick up where the show left off, answering the question of who Sam's father is and what the fate of each relationship will be. "Separate from even knowing who Sam's father is, we've always known how we wanted to end the series," said Appelbaum. "Whether the show went two years or seven years, there's always been a particular moment and peice of closure that we wanted and we're going to be able to get to that intended end."
Appelbaum promises that all the other storylines will be tied up as well -- from Janet and Eddie to the Commander's health, from Aubrey and Ronnie to Physical Phil's great fears -- because the fans deserve that: "The nice thing about this whole experience is that this show about friendship has created an environment of friendship and community among the cast. And when we look at the message boards, we feel like that's sort of extended to our viewership too. We're happy to do this for them."
Whether the 15-minute finale will air on YouTube, be sold on DVD or dropped from the sky by carrier pigeons has not yet been decided. But one way or another, Roadies, take heart. You will get to hang out in Knight's Ridge once last time.

I'm happy everything will be tied up... but everything in 15 minutes? How cheesy and rushed is it gonna be?

Yeah, that kinda sucks. Still, it's better than nothing. And if you look at it as one episode broken up into 3 parts, it's really not too terrible, is it? That's probably how they'll shoot it. I just hope they don't drag out releasing it forever.

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 17:00

I actually hope they do, because then I'll have more time to control Ronnie's life

... Ignore how creepy that sounds.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 May 08 :: 17:26

LOL! Hey, I'm with ya. You're doing a much better job with him than they did on the show. Man, I wish they'd hurry up and release a "complete series" DVD.

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 17:53

Well, it's kinda easy to do because they totally neglected him. He probably would have had a bigger part in season 3. And I just posted a new R/A fic.

I'm not sure if they're gonna be a complete series DVD. Maybe, because both seasons were so short, but season 1 already has a DVD. There's rumors about season 2 coming out in the summer.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 May 08 :: 18:38

Awwww. Cute. Is there a missing word in this sentence...?

...But I'll possibly a foot brace if I'm still as bad as I was last time."

You know, I thought the S1 set was out, but I couldn't remember. How many eps were there in all? I think I missed 3 or 4.

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 18:46

Thanks. And, yeah... it was missing the word "need"

Haha. There were only six in the first season and 12 in the second, I missed a good part of season two.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 May 08 :: 19:55

Are they still on abc.com? I couldn't watch on my old computer. Maybe the new one is fast enough...

magicalturkey · 15 May 08 :: 20:19

Nope. They're all posted on this youtube channel: http://youtube.com/user/JESC1630

Down side is that they're split up into 9-10 minute segments, some things might be missing.

magicalturkey · 23 May 08 :: 23:36

Posted a new R/A fic... Aubrey might just not be as perfect as she's cracked up to be.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 24 May 08 :: 00:47

Awww, very sweet. And I thought I was lazy...

magicalturkey · 24 May 08 :: 00:54

Aubrey's anything but lazy... she just doesn't clean , Ronnie's the lazy one. At least this way they won't drive each other nuts over cleaning.

magicalturkey · 28 May 08 :: 16:45

Posted a new R/A fic. Aubrey attempts to wake him up before noon. Silly girl ;)

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 May 08 :: 17:15

Awww. Very cute!

magicalturkey · 28 May 08 :: 17:28

Thanks. I wonder who'd win in a cuteness competition, Adam and Joan or Ronnie and Aubrey?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 May 08 :: 17:38

Hmmmm... I think that one would end in a toss-up.

magicalturkey · 31 May 08 :: 01:15

Posted a new R/A fic. Want Ronnie to almost crap his pants? Randomly bring up kids.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 May 08 :: 01:37

Very cute, after the initial Ronnie-panic.

magicalturkey · 31 May 08 :: 02:07

But the initial Ronnie-panic is fun

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 May 08 :: 02:22

Oh, yeah, definitely. And cute too. I can see him as I read it.
