Different vibe? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ewan's My Man · 01-12-2004, 03:44 PM

I dunno, I loved the ep...I miss CD...but for some reason...I dunno, it feels...different. Maybe it's just b/ there's no CD...but I mean...it's not as dramatic...maybe that's a good thing...Jinny's too optimistic...I dunno, I can't shake it, it seems...weird. It isn't the same vibe as it usually is.

I...I'll prolly have some jaw drops to this...but I don't hate Stacy that much. I've been a fan of Amy Jo Johnson's for a while, and I think she's a cute character, ANNOYING, but cute. I dunno...she'll be interesting to watch. BUT, we need some bitchiness from Jinny, CD needs to come back (I think she might...b/c if they really wanted her gone for good, they had it set up perfectly, she could have been killed off, but NO, they didn't kill her off...I think she'll be back...right before someone decides to like...cancel the show...she'll be back), and I dunno, we need the "normal" TD vibe!

Yeah I know what you mean. But I think it has to do with CD not being there and Nate's bitterness over it. I can understand his pain, but he is EXTREMELY bitter and he seems to be taking it out on Raina. And Jinny is getting way too happy and Mag's just being pushed out of the picture. And Cap...well she doesnt seem as involved as she used to be. Maybe its just because it was the first ep of the season...maybe things will change. Who knows?

And I like Stacy too. She a bit too...hyper for me but she doesnt seem all that bad. She's very....happy and chipper, which isnt something we usually see on The Division...so maybe she'll bring out a different side to Cap and the rest of the inspectors. I dunno. Just a thought...

I don't really hate her either. I kinda like how hyper she was. But what i found really ironic was that she wore pink to her interview. I may be one of the only people, but I like how they wrote CD off. I do miss her but I think they handled it pretty well. She could always come back if she wanted to.

Was she the pink ranger, because if she was that was a bold statement having her wearing all that pink in the opening scene. It just immediately caught my eye and I thought, WOW--reckon they want us to associate her with power rangers. Just me.\

I prefer Raina.

Speaking of which, that's the first thing I noticed when Stacy came in. She was so perky and talky, just like Raina. They've cloned her! I'm glad Stacy wasn't even on for a total of five minutes. Guess she won't have such a big character, at least I hope not. Maybe she'll grow on me, but I liked things before.

monkeygirl · 01-13-2004, 12:41 PM

yeah, i can't stand stacy, i just want things back to normal. I'm literaly devastated. Raina seems to be taking Cd's place, and Stacy is taking Raina's old place, NO! I want it back, I hope they bring CD back, maybe that's why they didn't kill her off, but that show used to seem so real to me, now it seems just wrong

This is very true. It seems like they are trying to pass characters on through new ones. It's stupid.

Yes, the show has a very different vibe. It's not as exciting anymore and it's not as good as it used to be. It no longer feels as familiar as before.

A lot of that has to do with C.D. being going.

Snowfall · 01-13-2004, 08:39 PM

I agree with you. Even though I originally became a fan of the show because of Nancy McKeon, by the second season, I connected with CD the most. I feel that the show has lost about a third of its dynamics with her departure, in that we no longer have CD, the powerful partnership of CD and Nate's, and their sexual tension. The whole time I was watching it, I kept feeling that something major was missing.

I wouldn't hate Stacy if CD was still there, but seeing as she isn't, Amy Jo has literally replaced Tracey Needham. To me, the show isn't the TD that I know and love anymore. I feel that once a show has done something this exteme, it can no longer be trusted, and I just can't invest myself in it any longer.
