Random JoA Stuff...

The way you described it, Rick, Ghost Whisperer could almost be compared to JoA. Almost.

I have never watched "Ghost whisperer", maybe it is some kind of subconsious protest, but I was wondering if it was "inspired" by JOA

TeeJay · 17 Mar 08 :: 19:19

I was just gonna suggest Ghost Whisperer, even though I didn't want to. I almost made it through the first season, but I only ever watched it when I wanted something über-cheesy that would make me cry. Quality-wise, it couldn't hold a candle to JoA. I'm not sure you could say GW was inspired by JoA. What they had in common was that a woman has a kind of supernatural "connection" that she uses to help people. If anything, I'd say GW was a rip-off of Medium more than JoA.

But I can tell you this: Medium, compared to Ghost Whisperer, is a true work of art, on all counts. The characters feel real, the stories feel real, the problems feel real. GW was kinda the opposite. It was all very fake--the characters, the stories, and the problems. If you could even call them problems. And I'm not only saying that because GW replaced JoA.

I did watch Ghost Whisperer, but only to see how my English skills have improved. This was really the only show I never needed subtitles for. LOL And that does mean something. But I stopped watching after Season 2, it was just too cheesy.
Medium is a great show, I love it. Even though I still have language problems sometimes.

The hour-long poofy-haired lingerie ad known as Ghost Whisperer was not inspired by anything JoA related. It was inspired by the life and work of James van Praggh:

And it would've been much more interesting with a grown man in the lead role, than a silly, vaccuous girl. There was a very interesting TV movie about van Praggh that they could've spun into a series. Ted Danson played the JVP-inspired character.

Wow, wouldn't that have been interesting --- if it had been Ted's show and it replaced Mary's?

So they cast Jennifer Love Hewett as this guy. That is just crazy and so typical. No wonder I don't watch a lot of network TV.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 Mar 08 :: 20:01

You said it, Rick.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Mar 08 :: 03:30

Know what's cute? Chris in the interview on the S2 DVD...

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Mar 08 :: 03:34

Want more...?

On QOTZ...

Susanna · 18 Mar 08 :: 04:17

That is cute, his hoodie looks really big on him, I just noticed that.

Donna · 18 Mar 08 :: 05:38

oh he is so cute there. Even though he's in costume you can really see the difference between Chris and Adam there. There is just a different light in his eye.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Mar 08 :: 05:45

Chris is way more open and outgoing than Adam. I think that's what you're seeing.

Donna · 18 Mar 08 :: 05:48

Totally. There is just more excitement coming out of his face. It is just making me realize how great an actor he really is. With just am expression or even non-expression he says so much. MMM and those yummy lips :drool:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Mar 08 :: 06:05

Oh, yes, ma'am, I am totally with you on the lipage! Did you read that fic where the author called them "almost too pretty for a boy"? Sigh.

Too bad he never looked at the camera with those baby browns. I always harp on this, but it's important: In person, he makes amazing, warm eye contact. He's just really engaged in whatever he's doing. He's an in-the-moment kind of guy. Adam guards himself very tightly. We all know why. Probably why he doesn't like to be touched, especially unexpectedly. Chris isn't like that. He's a hugger. Ten seconds after you meet him, if he's comfortable with you. I found myself touching him on the shoulder or the arm once or twice both times I spoke with him, like a friend, because he kind of does that too. Easy-going, I guess you could call him.

He says in S2 Adam became, "more like me than anything else", and I think what he's indicating is Adam's growing of a backbone and engaging with the world. I think that's why, even though the stories are not as good as in S1, we love S2 Adam. Well, until they ruined him.

But is he really in costume? I can't recall ever seeing that toque on Adam and even though he wore a burgundy hoodie in s2 that we all loved, I don't think he ever wore one in the shade of red that the one in these pictures has. Or am I just forgetful or inattentive?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Mar 08 :: 16:09

That hoodie looks burgundy to me. :clueless:

TeeJay · 18 Mar 08 :: 18:41

It's a lighter shade of red than the burgundy hoodie he wore in 2x19. Unless my color vision is way off.

Let's see if we can put them next to each other. Oh, and the one in 2x19 didn't have any... do you call them laces? The stringy things that come out of the hood.

The hoodie from T&E:

The hoodie from the S2 specials:

I just realized something. That hoodie looks almost as the one I bought from H&M. Cool!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Mar 08 :: 02:36

I love this shot. If you've seen the table read, you know that it's Chris intently watching Mary deliver some very heavy dialog...

Awwww. He looks a little tired...

Cute. In the table read, he's like this weird Adam/Chris hybrid...

I recently learned that one's place at the table is very specific. Chris sits beside Mary and directly across from Amber. With Becky to his right. Yep, that just about sums up where he fits in on the show...

magicalturkey · 19 Mar 08 :: 02:44

Yep. Adam's right hand man... uh... woman.

justme · 19 Mar 08 :: 02:46

left-handed right hand woman.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Mar 08 :: 03:09

Let's look at some insanely cute shots from QOTZ...

I hate what's happening between them in this scene. But he was so beautiful and angelic in it...

He got his heart broken in this moment...

She let him go...

Donna · 19 Mar 08 :: 04:00

I though he was at his cutest in that episode. I particular like the first shot where his hair is a mess. Love it.

I want to meet him soo much especially after what you said about him, Deb. I hope I get to someday he's an amazing person and he's sooo different from other guys.

I think I know what I am going to do tonight!
