Oxidizer Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Oh, that sounds utterly awesome! I really hope she'll return one day now. They didn't explore the character at all, she did meaningless things which didn't prove anything, just to boost ratings. I was watching the reveal episode from last year, and damn, she was amazing! And it had a better atmosphere back then too, I can't explain it. It seemed forced and fake this time 'round.
luckyrabbit Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Oh, that sounds utterly awesome! I really hope she'll return one day now. They didn't explore the character at all, she did meaningless things which didn't prove anything, just to boost ratings. They completely dropped the ball this year. But I think that's because DB just wasn't interested at all. Last year, the Stalker storyline was his baby and all of his attention was focused on it. This year, he just wanted to get it out of the way so he could move on the the Lost/Believers/Gillans stories, and it showed. I was watching the reveal episode from last year, and damn, she was amazing! And it had a better atmosphere back then too, I can't explain it. It seemed forced and fake this time 'round.She was so menacing last year because she had absolute conviction in what she was doing, she had a good reason for it. This year her motive was weak and they played up the 'crazy' angle way too much. The expositional dialogue was so bad, that even Emily couldn't overcome it. And when Emily Perry can't pull off Zoe, then you have a problem. Because that girl can act rings around pretty much anyone.
Oxidizer Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 You're so right. I bet Emily Perry wasn't as excited about returning when she first was when she got that call once she read the scripts and what was going to happen with her character (if it happens like that). Even that small glimpse of her at the hospital last year, she seemed very 'Eve Jacobsen' to me, rather than Zoe. And she didn't even have that many lines. It was the way she moved and acted. But after Maxine Trood's little scene, they turned her into a psycho killer rather than the well-layered sociopath that killed for a cause she thought was right. DB should've made her as the pyro, he owed us that much. I just hope that she comes back as well as that other "dead" person (which I can't name).

And she didn't even have that many lines. It was the way she moved and acted. One of the things I love about Emily is she doesn't just recite lines, she physically embodies the character. The way she moves, the facial expressions, all the little things she does with her body that are pure Eve. If you watch 4206 with the sound off, Zoe is much scarier as long as your not listening to the insane ramblings coming out of her mouth, it's all in the body language, which is all down to Em. Imagine what she could do with a decent script. I just hope that she comes back as well as that other "dead" person (which I can't name). Me too, I don't know why TV Week would put the 'one -or more-' thing in if there wasn't, in fact, more than one person returning. It makes no sense. *toddles off to post the Control teaser*

I love the way Em portrays Zoe, she's extremely talented. She deserves more than McDonald's and Tourism ads. Me too, I don't know why TV Week would put the 'one -or more-' thing in if there wasn't, in fact, more than one person returning. It makes no sense. And they mention and/or hinted that Zoe was still alive in three other character's sections too! Why do that unless there's something in it? I want Zoe and Tracey back, damnit! *toddles off to post the Control teaser* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
luckyrabbit Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Damn. I know exactly what you mean! I haven't watched it with the sounded muted, but I'll definitely try it sometime. You have to try it, you notice so much more. Like the little "What a f*ckwit" headshake she does when she makes Jack throw away his phone. *loves* She shares in our Jack hate. I love the way Em portrays Zoe, she's extremely talented. She deserves more than McDonald's and Tourism ads. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would cast Emily in every project I had a hand in. That girl is f*cking magic.

luckyrabbit Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 I wish she used the Maxine Trood outfit more though. For real, my dream project for Emily is an Australian, Alias meets Veronica Mars type show, where she gets to dress up and wear different wigs each week, while kicking ass and looking pretty doing it. I'd never be able to stop watching. Perhaps I should write a script
Oxidizer Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 How amazing would that be?! And that totally reminde me of that 'behind the scenes' video of Random Place where she was having fun with that personal trainer chick "And now I have to go to work and look pretty."
*belle* Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 *backs into corner* You two really do love Zoe/Eve/Maxine don't you?! Um, all I want to say is that I love the storyline with Maxine in the U.K at the moment, it's so awesome! Now I'll leave Oxidizer and Luckyrabbit to continue with what they know and love
