yeah... i liked it, but i just kept imagining mrs. g coming in and saying "you can't have jo's wedding without mrs. garrett!"... hhmm, maybe we should do a fan fic of a better jo wedding... anybody up for it?

------------------
Pippa: Won't you tell me now?
Blair: Tomorrow.
Jo: Rick...
Pippa: Rick?
Jo/Nat/Blair: Tomorrow, Pippa!

Natalie: A flashback within a flashback... I'm so brilliant it scares me!
Natalie: You thought she was the delivery boy? I was gonna ask her to the fall dance before I knew! [from my favorite ep, New girl part 1]
Jo: you're born, you grow, you die, hey that's life.

Wow! Glad to see I wasn't the only disapointed one! And I can't seem to decide about Rick...he's nice and all, but somehow I can't see a lot of romantic chemistry between them. I like Eric better...is that his name? The guy in the rating game episode. He was handsome. Jo has become way to attractive for someone like Rick.

------------------
-------------------------
*Jo and Blair rule!*

Nat: Look Jo if you don't get this scholarship you're gonna be back in the BRONX running around with the little pueblos!
Jo: Young Diablos!

BLAIR: Take them off JO!! I dont want to fail!
Jo: will you read my editorial?
Blair: YES!
JO: You PROMISE?
Blair: YES!!
JO: You SWEAR??
Blair: YESS!!!
Jo: i dont believe you (Ducks back under desk with a grin)

(Blair, Tootie and Jo laughing at Natalie)
Natalie: What?
(Continue to laugh)
Natalie: What?!
(Takes off her hat and looks at it)
Natalie: Oh good! Good!! I’m loosin’ a bolt! I’m working half wattage here!!

***Every Jo needs a Blair!***

Nat: A flash back within a flashback....! I'm so brilliant it scares me!

Yeah, it was kinda dissapointing. I thought that the ceremony was rushed and Jo's parents didnt say anything to her so that seemed kinda weird. BUT, I thought Rick's "photo album" was soooo sweet! I wish the show wouldve went longer so we could have had more Jo-Rick scenes like that! AWWWWW!!!!

Blair: Doing what?
Jo: Singing it like Julie Andrews.

I didn't know what to think of Rick either until he climbed up to Jo's window and showed his serious side.

------------------
*************************
Hopper: You know I am really a shy kind of guy,but I have been watching you from across the cabin,and I said to myself,"Hopper don't let this one slip away!"

Jo: You know I have been watching you too.You have a lot to be shy about!
*************************
Beverly Ann: Let's see. It's tomorrow in Africa so if I want to talk to Edna today then I should have called her yesterday...
*************************
Natalie: It's a busy day for me. I have to go down to the newspaper office, get a lung transplant...
*************************
Beverly Ann: I wonder what's wrong with Jo.

Blair: Today or in general?
*************************
Blair: Where have you been?

Jo: At the library.

Blair: Oh, reading "Dumbo", how cute.

Jo: I don't have to read "Dumbo." I bunk right next to her.
*************************
Blair: But if I'm not perfect... and that's a *BIG* if, then it wasn't his place to say so.
Jo: You're right. It's my place to say so.

Question

I didn't see the wedding episode(i wasnt around so i taped it) but by the sounds of it, it should have been longer. now, i think any episode based on Jo should be longer cuz she's (in my opinion) the best character on the show; but anyway, this is a big deal, sort of an in-your-face to Blair(after all of those "no one will ever marry Jo"remarks.

Cool

Some of my fave quotes:

Jo:Look, I have a lot to do today. I'm going to that party with Rick tonight, and I have to book a motel room.
(Blair and Nat stare at her)
Jo:Alright, let me try this a different way:My dad is coming to town tommorrow and i have to find him aplace to stay. Then I have to get ready for my date.
Blair: Jo, if you were going to get ready for a date, you really should have left yourself more than a day.(from "Something in common")

More on the way

To Michele35: I got the same impression when I saw Pippa on the couch. It looked to me like she did not sleep on the couch anymore. So I also thought that either the store officially closed in an episode we did not see or they just kind of closed it off screen. Hey they do things off screen all the time in soap operas, why not on FOL?
