In defense of Alexis Dziena...

TeeJay · 02 Sep 06 :: 08:54

I don't know why, but this thought suddenly occurred to me while I was looking at some Secret Service screencaps. We keep yammering on how much we hate Bonnie and how it was so out of character for Adam to sleep with that skank, but what we (or at least I) never said is that it was well chosen to cast Alexis Dziena as Bonnie.

I'm quite sure as a person, she's a really nice and pretty girl. But we totally believed the skank she showed us in JoA, didn't we? That must mean she did her job very well. And truth be told, I was never interested in her enough to even look up her real name. To me she was always this blind spot you'd rather forget.

So: Well done, Alexis. You gave us a character we absolutely love to hate. I just felt like mentioning this.

Here's her filmography at IMDb.com:

You're right. Because as I told you, I watched Invasion last year and it took me half the season to realize that the girl who played the sheriff's daughter on that show was the same one who played the skank. So obviously, she's very talented, and a chameleon in her own right. I was very troubled by the fact that I had to see the chick who played the skank on this show that I liked. For about five minutes. But she was so different that I forgot all that stuff and came to like her character on that show very much.

So Alexis, you go girl. But you stay the hell away from my man!

Interesting, I watched Invasion (or the second half of the series anyway) and never noticed. Course I've seen the small snippets of trial and error, so saw her for a total of 5 seconds. I'm just up to Wealth of Nations, which I watched last night, trying to pace myself.

Well, Susanna, I'm glad you get a lot of delicious Chris these days. Deb, see? Susanna is pleasure delayer as well, it seems.

So, got anything to say about what you've seen of season 2 so far, Susanna?

Yeah, plenty.I've just finished No Future.
Stand out moments so far:
The Election: when Adam's discovers his posters being graffited, starts to pull them down and then those thugs come round and push him. gotta love Adam shoving them back v. cool.
P.O.V: when Adam and Joan are watching vids of Adam & his mother, that was soooo sad but incredible to watch.
Friday Night: Awww, Adam looked so adorable in his suit!!! That was sooo sweet.

all I can remember off the top of my head...

You know, that's my all time favorite Adam/Joan moment. It's so sad, but I do love it. Those awesome tear ducts in action, how can you not love it? I want my substitute agony! And ADAMNEEDSAHUG!

Hope you enjoy the rest of s2. Until Trial & Error, that is...

Hey Susanna,

You picked some of our favorite moments there, too. I absolutely love Friday now. And that suit is fantastic, with the long coat and the cuff links and the tie pin. Very elegant. I used to hate the slicked back hair, but I got used to it. And that kiss on the porch. <sigh> Just wish the rest of the ep wasn't so sad.

Hey, keep us posted on your impressions of S2 as you go along. It's great that you're finally getting to see eyerthing.

Who said he is YOUR man?

I never blamed Alexis Dziena for playing Bonnie. I always blamed the writers for ruining my dream of LOVE!!! :mad::mad:
I just didn't like the character, so I didn't care if the actress did her job well or not.

She's gorgeous. I felt soo bad for her character. Adam was such an ass, I always wonder what she had to tell adam that day.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 10 :: 03:08

...probably just that he was being an ass!

fangirl1891 · 05 May 10 :: 04:06

or maybe she was pregnant? I mean they implied he had been doing the naughty with her for at least a month.

I'm thinking the same thing, Devin.

fangirl1891 · 05 May 10 :: 14:55

I mean it would have been totally not a unique plotline or anything but definately, why she looked so freaked and pissed.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 10 :: 15:23

He met Bonnie in Secret Service, ONE WEEK before he broke down and admitted to the cheating in Trial & Error. They had only done it a couple of times over the course of a few DAYS. I don't mean to be snippy, but people always just jump to that conclusion and fail to pay attention to the timeline. It bugs.

Believe me, with the direction they were taking this show, if they wanted Bonnie to be pregnant, it would not have been subtle, or barely perceptible. It would been fully anvilicious.

fangirl1891 · 05 May 10 :: 17:51

Alright....no need to freak...its a television show. take a few deep breaths.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 10 :: 18:52

Yeah, I said I didn't mean to be snippy, but that just always bothers the crap out of me. I'm sure you've got your hot buttons too when it comes to your favorite things.

fangirl1891 · 05 May 10 :: 19:23

Yeah. I do. I don't blame you. I changed inferred to implied if that helps. But I apologize I havent seen that episode in a while. I thought they had been doing that for a month. I flipped out this morning explaining to my mom why adam calls joan jane.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 May 10 :: 20:00

OK, I edited my post too. Again, I apologize for being so adamant about the point. I can't help it. I'm kinda of a stickler on issues involving Adam & Joan.

fangirl1891 · 06 May 10 :: 00:03

Lol its alright I am the same way. My mother thinks I am crazy.

Moonlight · 30 Dec 11 :: 07:48

I have something to say about Bonnie....I hated the part. Hated the story line. There wasn't anything to like about it for me; however, the actress was good. I've only seen her in one other thing "When in Rome", and she was adorable in it. For JOA, they made her skanky and dark. They didn't give us anything to like about her really but I was always trying to find the story behind the story, if you know what I mean. She always seemed so sad to me in a disturbing sort of way and I always wondered what her real story was. You only see the brief interaction with Joan, Adam, and Helen. You never see parents. You do; however, get that one brief moment when she's riding the bus looking at the art book that Helen gave to her and she always seemed conflicted or sad or something in that scene. I always wondered if there had been a third season, if she would have entered into the story again at some point. Hard to say, but.....I guess I just would have liked it better if we knew more of her story, or knew what motivated her to go after Adam the way she did. It just happened too fast and it felt incomplete and just wrong to me. In fact, Deb, when you get back to reading my stuff you'll find that I do give her a complete storyline because what they gave us in the show always felt a bit phony to me.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Dec 11 :: 16:57

Maybe if there was a season three, Ryan would've gotten his claws into her and used her to further screw things up for Adam.

Moonlight · 30 Dec 11 :: 19:32

I think that that seems very possible.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 31 Dec 11 :: 03:57

I hate the way it ends. It deserved a few more seasons at least. Unlike most shows which dont deserve numerous seasons. Good things die fast sometimes just like the good die young.

Moonlight · 31 Dec 11 :: 05:55

What I hate is that it didn't actually have an ending....really frustrates me when the people who make decisions to cancel a show prematurely can't be kind enough to tie up all the loose ends and give it a proper ending for the sake of its fans. They just left us hanging after taking the time to build a new story line arc for the third season. Really inconsiderate to the fans, if you ask me.

If the audience is not big enough to make them money, or make enough negative noise, they could not care less.
