"To Kill a Mockingbird"

I don't think Martha really did anything very wrong here. It's not like it's wrong of Roman to have feelings for Martha, he can't really control that, but I think people are forgetting where this reation probably came from in Martha. A rational reaction to Roman's confession in her situation would be to tell him that unfortunately she is not ready to move on from Jack yet. But guess what, after a loss that big, it's not like it's easy to be rational. Getting angry and making Roman the bad guy would be a lot easier for her than dealing with the fact that now that Jack's dead, she will sooner or later have to move on. I don't think Roman did anything wrong, but I certainly don't think Martha did either. I think I can see why Hugo thought Martha should know the truth as well (in case Roman was actually using Martha's situation to get closer to her) but it just turned out for the worse, and I don't think he could have seen that coming, so I don't really think he did such a bad thing either.

Gah, one of life's great unanswerable questions, that one Generally I think the profile we're running is that anything that will be a spoiler for UK viewers should normally be put in spoiler tags, while everything that's a direct spoiler for everyone, should be in the spoiler zone. Both this section and the television section can be kind of hard to deal with because of all the different paces on TV series, and since the CAD section sort of is in the middle when it comes to UK and Australian discussion. It's hard to discuss without mentioning things happening at Australian pace, but at the same thime UKers should be able to post in there without getting spoilers But as a general rule, use spoiler tags for discussion about things happening in current Aussie episodes. And BTW, just wanna say about the CAD section, that I think it's working so much better now after the revamp, and it doesn't seem like the activity has gone down either (except for the spamming, but that was sort of the point ) so that's very good, keep it up, people

Thankyou so much, guys ILM, you're right, I haven't written anything in ages, but a few days ago I decided I HAD to break the writer's block, because I really want to write some more fanfics again, so I wrote this piece. Hopefully I have more stuff coming up, I'm thinking possibly a Charlie oneshot next. Anyways, I'm glad you like it, thanks for the review

Thanks Yeah, they are the best match, aren't they? I still can't believe they paired him up with Rachel rather than giving him and Jazz a real chance

Thank you, I really appreciate it

Wow, that's really good, especially considering it's the first thing you've written! It's really nicely written, just the right amount of sad for a fic like that I really hope you decide to write more fics, because this is good

Aww, I like this oneshot I like how you describe details, and how you included some more links to the past even though they weren't really important for the story itself (like the article about Robbie and Alf, and the kids' names). My favourite thing about it was how you ended it though, I like it when people leave the ending kind of open although you see where this could be going

Wellm would you like -25'C? Cause that's how cold it is here today! You have got to be kidding me, I don't even want to get out of my ROOM when it's this cold. WHY?!!!! WHY?!!!!!

Aww, thanks, guys! I'm so glad people liked it, and I really appreciate the comments. Hopefully I have more stuff coming soon

Yeah, I know what you mean. We're two years behind here, and I knew Scott was leaving with Hayley when that episode with Sarah telling Dani he was dead aired, and I was shocked. That day I seriously started questioning if I had gone crazy Anyway, I think Jack is really dead. He is a cop and that could invite another supercop returning from the dead storyline, but after they pulled that with Peter only two years ago, and received very... Split opinions from fans I don't think they'd do that again so fast. I actually think they have managed to pull off a storyline we honestly had no clue about. And I think that's very gutsy of them, in a very good way

It's getting ridiulously cold again. About -17'c right now... And we've still got about 100 cm of snow. This sucks.

I know! Even with Sally being stabbed by Rocco and the whole staging of Kate Ritchie saying things in interviews, implying that she could be thinking about leaving, people still managed to reveal that she would survive weeks before it aired on the show. And with the "Big surprise ending" of 2007, everyone knew pretty early that it would be Miles writing "Milco" in the sand. But this... I don't think anyone had any idea it would happen, and I mean, it's been like five weeks since the season return, and people are still doubting whether he's actually dead or not! I think this has been a brilliant cover up, finally a storyline where nobody seems to have any clue!

I couldn't agree with you more about Charlie being great in Monday's episode (I haven't seen today's episode yet) and looking great and all that. I really liked her in Melbourne, especially the scene she had with Miles over dinner in the hotel room. And the talking about ground rules for sleeping was funny. Sexual tension, anyone? I really liked that coat as well, I generally like Charlie's style overall. Except that red dress she wore on her first date with Angelo. The dress was nice enough, but it wasn't that nice on her for some reason. But anyway, enough with the clothes, I think she should be with Angelo as well. I'm not sure about Miles, but I think I'd like him to stay with Kirsty (something I never thought I'd say, considering I believe in happy ever after for supercouples like KK ) and I think Angelo is perfect for Charlie. I was originally thinking she should stay single for a while, but Angelo changed that. They would be one hell of a couple!

I wouldn't say I want Jack to be dead, but I hope they don't bring him back for several reasons - I don't think he was a very good character in the first place. Personally he was okay, but they tried too hard to make him into this kind of dumb super-cop hero. - I think him being dead will allow Martha to have a decent storyline. Her character has improved lately, and I hope she gets the chance to continue that way, without everything she's doing being overshadowed by JM drama. - I think they have pulled the coming-back-from-the-dead one too many times over the last few years. Peter. - I'd like them to prove that they can do a storyline where they kill off a favourite (and even one half of a super couple!) that really moves the fans. When someone on the show dies, it's usually just guesties no one really has had time to care about yet. They did it with Dan and Beth, but they were both killed off screen after not being on the show for a while, and I think Jack was more popular. I think the last time they really did this was when Noah died, and that's over four year ago. And can I just say, I think it's great that they've finally managed to do a big storyline where people were not at all prepared, and still seem to be unsure what's really going on! Spoilers are great, but it's nice to have the occasional storyline where no one really knows what's going on

I'm really going to miss Bridget, I think she was a good character, and I hope the writers decide to bring her back. I too think she really cares about Alf, and I think it's sad to see her go now that the truth's out in the open and people would have had a chance to start over.

Haha, I've been thinking the exact same thing, Charlie and Leah would make a GREAT couple! Although, as much as I'd like to see that, I think I still might prefer Charlie and Angelo though

It's snowing heavily here, and it has been all day. I just went outside to measure, and at the moment we have close to 70 cm of snow It's not too cold though, I guess that's one good thing at least...

And at that moment, he didn't know he had killed Jack. He thought he could have, but he hadn't, so naturally he would be terrified. Not saying what he did was right, but at the same time I think it's understandable knowing he the whole time had to deal with knowing that he possibly just had killed his own friend by accident.

Then again though, I'd much rather see realistic characters than characters that have no base in reality. For example I have never been a Melody fan, but that being said, I still think she has aspects of a good character because many aspects of her are very realistic. And just like that I also used to like Aden and Belle as a couple because they were very realistic, but then they just moved on to being purely annoying when they lost touch with reality.

I think Xavier is a pretty good character actually! And I know he changed Ruby a little, but I think they're both pretty realistic characters. Yes, Xavier only seems to care about himself, and yes, Ruby is like a love sick puppy, but come one, isn't that pretty typical teenage behaviour? I think they're both good actors and I actually think they've been one of the highlights this week!

I don't know... I'm just assuming...

I just watched the last two episodes of this week, and time after time it strikes me what a good actress Bec is! I know she's a little bit older than many of the other teen characters' actors, and she might have had more experience, but still, she's WAY above average! She did some really good acting in the scenes with Xavier and them coming to terms with their feelings for each other. Scenes like that usually don't impress me, but they both (well, especially Bec) did such a great job it really seemed like a really realistic moment and conversation between two teenagers in that situation.
