swfc Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 They screwed it up because they didn't know what to do with Zoe. They didn't have any characters leaving and they couldn't drag it on for ages so DB decided to just cake Zoe and Tracey. He didn't know how else to continue. And because there were no characters leaving the show for good, DB couldn't find a way to let Zoe get revenge on the Bay. That's what I think anyway. I think I may have repeated myself. Sorry.... I'm sure you'll figure something out, Andy.
Oxidizer Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 DB decided to just cake Zoe and Tracey. Cracks me up every time. I know what you're saying though. It's so frustrating how they handled it. Even if they couldn't contractedly kill anyone off, they could've at least have given us a flashback and backstory for the two before making us know they're actually dead. It's not that hard. Going by the way NOUAS ends, there could be a sequel (but I'm not planning that far ahead or counting on it any time soon), so if there is, I'll use Danielle Toreno then. I hope I'm inspired enough to do so - she has the makings to make Agent Orange look like a saint compared to some of the things she's capable of. Oh! And I've finally found my Emergency muses to finish the Tracey backstory scene, which means its full steam ahead. I'm hoping it'll be up by Friday.
swfc Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 DB decided to just cake Zoe and Tracey. Cracks me up every time. Heehee... I know what you're saying though. It's so frustrating how they handled it. Even if they couldn't contractedly kill anyone off, they could've at least have given us a flashback and backstory for the two before making us know they're actually dead. It's not that hard. Yeah, I mean, what's so hard about it? He should've just left it in there instead of taken it our or done whatever it is he did with the flashback scenes. It's not hard, really. All we want to know is how Tracey/Zoe met and how Tracey fell for Zoe. It doesn't take that long, right? I mean, they spent a whole blimmin 2 weeks on them being "lost" and then by some stupud explanation, which apparently makes Amanda a psychic and seriously, if she was a psychic, why couldn't she tell where Belle was when Kelli kidnapped her since Belle and her have this so called connection? I mean, that's just plain bull. And, really, if Amanda was a psychic, she'd be able to tell the future and stuff, right? But, I digress. The could've cut them being lost for maybe a week and focussed on the flashback. Going by the way NOUAS ends, there could be a sequel (but I'm not planning that far ahead or counting on it any time soon), so if there is, I'll use Danielle Toreno then. I hope I'm inspired enough to do so - she has the makings to make Agent Orange look like a saint compared to some of the things she's capable of. Interesting.... Agent Orange [the name really does crack me up everytime I read it] a pussy compared to Danielle Toreno? Interesting. Now I wonder what she's like..... Oh! And I've finally found my Emergency muses to finish the Tracey backstory scene, which means its full steam ahead. I'm hoping it'll be up by Friday. Yay! See, told you it'll come to you, Andy.
Oxidizer Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 HAHAHA! That thing with Amanda finding the survivors was messed up. I can't believe how pathetic some of the monkeys' ideas can be. Seriously. Heh. The name Agent Orange was supposed to make him sound kinda dorky but you soon realize he's a little badass. As for Danielle Toreno, let's just say that if she were ever to cross paths with Dan and Leah, Ryan and VJ would have their heads blown off by a shotgun. That's how evil she is. Yay! See, told you it'll come to you, Andy. That you did! And for that I come bearing Emergency teasers: TEASER #1 Dancing in her bedroom whilst listening to the Subliminal Seduction Mix of Rob Zombie's Living Dead Girl on her Walkman, her father entering the room went unnoticed. "Tracey?" She continued to dance. Eyes closed. Entranced. "Tracey?" He tapped her on her shoulder, making the teenage girl jump back defensively, slamming her headphones down. "Dad!" Tracey exclaimed. Her heart pounding. "Are you trying to kill me or something?! Jeez!" Off-duty Detective Stephen Thompson chuckled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I just-" His humorous tone vanished in an instant when he caught a glimpse of his daughter's stomach through her fishnet top. "-Mind telling me what the hell that is?" TEASER #2 "So what kind of name is Razor anyway?" Nicky frowned in distaste as he stepped in a freshly formed puddle. Scott chuckled. "You've never heard of Ryan Sharp? Razor's his nickname." Nicky shook his head unknowingly. "Surely you've heard of him; the neighborhood's nastiest dealer?" "Can't say that I have." The green-eyed boy sighed as they walked further into the darkened alley. The only light was that coming from the orange skies above. The silhouette still there, foot rested against the wall, hands in pockets. "Well, you should. You know he has a reputation for slashing people's faces with a razorblade, right?" Scott told an enthralled Nicky. "Oh, and he hates women." Nicky paused for a moment and frowned humorously. "He's gay?" "No!" Scott stifled a laugh with his sleeve-covered hand. "He's known to beat women after he's had fun with 'em. You heard the story about Hannah Laskarides?" He refrained from shaking his head at his friend's blank response. "She's a hooker. Or was. Razor beat her in a coma and frisked her after they fcuked in his car, she died in hospital later that night."
swfc Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 HAHAHA! That thing with Amanda finding the survivors was messed up. I can't believe how pathetic some of the monkeys' ideas can be. Seriously. Seriously, it was more like a stupid joke more than anything. The worst was the Paternity-gate one. Sometimes, I think they need to plan out how long they plan on playing out a storyline. Interesting storylines should definitely be interesting and would hold the viewers attentions and uninteresting storylines should just be given maybe three or four episodes at the very least. Heh. The name Agent Orange was supposed to make him sound kinda dorky but you soon realize he's a little badass. As for Danielle Toreno, let's just say that if she were ever to cross paths with Dan and Leah, Ryan and VJ would have their heads blown off by a shotgun. That's how evil she is. Talk about evil woman.... *imagines Dan, Leah, Ryan & VJ meeting her and having their heads blown off* Kinda interesting..... Loved both teasers, btw. I'm guessing Tracey got herself a belly ring or something lol.... Can't wait for the chapters.
Oxidizer Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 It was a joke! And don't even get me started on paternitygate - if it didn't drag out for the most part of the year it wouldn't have been so boring. Why drag things out that long? Hee! I'm glad you liked the teasers, and yep, Tracey got a belly ring. I've scrapped a character and changed a few plots to add Agent Toreno. Unfortunately you don't see her evil side, but she's still a nasty piece of work nonetheless. Here's the order of updates which are coming: Emergency 1/1 ITC 3/3 "Fading Light" NOUAS 1B "Painkillers NOUAS 2A "Who I Am" NOUAS 2B "Game Over" NOUAS 1C "Breakdown" ... That should keep you guessing.
swfc Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Paternity-gate put me off the show for a bit. I was like, hurry up already and solve the damn thing. It was enough to drive people insane. Tell me about it. I mean, I reckon they focussed a bit too much on the wrong things and the things that they focussed on the least amount of time were the right ones. I think the whole dragging it out for so long thing was to keep viewers interested but they made the mistake with Paternitygate. Instead of keeping viewers hooked, they lost interest. So, they're like, what can I do to make people interested? Oh, I know. Kill of Flynn, and bring back Zoe. That kind of thing. Lol, can't wait to see Tracey's dad's reaction to the belly ring. It'll be classic, I presume. Knowing dads.... Ah, I see you added in Agent Toreno.... It's going to be interesting. *puts on thinking cap and tries to make intelligent guesses*
Oxidizer Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 I know! I was looking back at 2005 and 2006 and they both have a thing in common other than Zoe (although linked): paternitygate and the pyro/witness protection storylines both took up a great deal of the seasons. Why do they waste their time on confusing and/or boring storylines like those when they could've given Zoe and Tracey a decent send-off? It pisses me off. Heh. I would post another teaser but the scene's quit short, so you'll just have to wait 'til later in the week for the full thing. I'll give you a clue about NOUAS: the conspiracy revolves around the 9/11 attack and Peter's in the heart of out. And Toreno will kill someone in the first chapter she's in. That's all you're getting out of me though.

Why do they waste their time on confusing and/or boring storylines like those when they could've given Zoe and Tracey a decent send-off? It pisses me off. You're right. They were all linked to Zoe. Every major storyline they made was linked to Zoe. Paternity-gate took like, what? a month or so until they finally solved it. Correction, make that more than a month. Nearly a full year. And then, pyro/WP storyline took less than a month but the aftermath of the explosion storyline, took 2 weeks with absolute nothing. All we got out of it was Belle whining about how she wanted to go home and then they had Jack sort of cheats on Martha with Tasha. Of course, one must not forget the famous 'The Believers' storyline that was thrown in there along the way as well.

That's all you're getting out of me though. Sounds interesting. Now I have to think of who she's going to kill.

I can't believe they focused more on those storylines than Zoe's. Her triggered them all for fcuk's sake! That's what annoys me the most. The Believers' were dull but I liked it 'cause Mumma Rose cracked me up.
