STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Man, my favorite show, as we've previously discussed.

They should do a Felicity reunion. Now's a good time because they're probably all mid to late twenties now and full of more angst.

Shall we relish in more Felicity memories? I'm still waiting for my Ben though. I wonder if he held doors open for Felicity? I'm sure Noel did.

New question: why am I so decidely in love with this show? It makes no rationale sense...

LOVE this show! my husband usually dosent like to watch shows at night with me but this was one show he was glued to back then.

a reunion would be awesome! I loved all the main characters in it!

I am with you on the Graduation episode being your favorite - the ending of that, where Ben comes for her, made me cry and cry!  So sweet.

I think a lot of people think that when Felicity cut her hair, the show went downhill, but not for me, I loved all 4 seasons.

You know what I really didn't like about the whole back in time episodes and then the back to the future concept?  That they should have ended Felicity w/the Gradution episode we love so much..that tied everything up perfectly - Ben finally came for her, etc, but then because they didn't know if the show was cancelled or not, they had to make more episodes..so they did that back in time thing, and I hated that they made Ben cheat on Felicity - ugh!  All in all it ended the way it should have - w/Felicity and Ben together - I'm obviously in the Ben camp!

1 - I LOVE the first season. I think it's the best. But that's because Felicity was much more innocent then and less sure of herself. I identified with that college experience more. I love all the other seasons, too though. But the first is def. the best.

2 - I also loved the concept of the time travel ep. I mean it may not have been the best television ever but it was definitely a fabulous way to answer all the questions for the fans. That ep. was for the fans, ya know? That's what made it so great. All in all it isn't one of my favorite episodes but it was still very satisfying to see how everything would have turned out no matter what.

3 - Noel vs. Ben. The dilemma of all time, no? Do you go with sweet, nice guy or sexy, passionate lover? Friend or lover? Which to choose? Go with your brain or your heart? I equate heart with sex, so I always choose the later, unfortunately. I always had a soft spot for Noel but in the end, like Felicity, it had to be Ben. It really wasn't fair though because Ben was infinitely hotter. It's gotta be Ben though. Plus Noel looked too much like her dad. And Hannah? Evil. Baaaaddd.

And almost every episode of Felicity made me cry. I identified with her life so much, sans the really hot men.

I need a reunion too!  And don't feel bad Blubirde because there some days I'd be content to sit and home and watch my dvd's rather than go out - so you aren't alone.

And yes, Noel was the nice guy, the best friend, but Ben - God Ben.  Who could resist him?  I just loved him so much and always thought they belonged together from the start - he was, afterall, the entire reason Felicity went to college in NY!

roxy - i had to laugh when I read your post - hi my name is roxy and I'm a felicity fan - it sounds like we are a support group for felicity fans anoynmous!  I totally forgot about the 1st season finale - I second that - that has got to be my other favorite episode.  I watch and rewwind that part where ben kisses felicity in order to convince her to go on the road trip w/him - I just love it!  And I totally agree w/you about Sean - he rocked.  That smoothase thing cracked me up!  Remember the episode where he is pitching it to Ben at Dean & Deluca and ben says "smoothaise?"  I love the way he says it - it cracks me up....Oh I could go on and on about this show!

Is WE a country wide station?  I am looking furiously through my listings and I can't find it or Felicity.  NO!  NO!  MUST FIND IT.

I read in an interview with the cast once that Javier ad-libbed most of his lines and now everytime I watch any eps with him in them, I die laughing because you can see Keri Russell and Scott Speedman try not to crack up when he says the things he says. That guy was funny!

You know which episodes I didn't like? The ones where Ben had the gambling problem. They just disturbed me. First he was with stupid Julie and second wtf? But I did love the episode where Julie played at the open-mike night and sang that song "tell me tell me tell me" tra la la, whatever the rest was. That was a good song.

Oh, and hi roxy. My name is blubirde and I, too, am a Felicity fan.

And you can bust out a smoothase joke on me any day.
