-Kevin- Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I agree with Nathan. I don't think they need a big drama like a murder to keep the show interesting. The family has enough drama to keep people interested. And it's hilarious. The fights they are are so real. There's someone that everyone can relate to in the family. I only started to watch it at some point during the 2nd series. I had no idea how Rebecca fitted in with anyone and I could sense the tension between her and Justin. It took me until Kitty's wedding to figure out that she was a sister from an affair. So now that they've 'de-Walkered' her I'm happy for her to hook up with Justin because I thought there was something going on from the word go. I'm slowly catching up while I'm on holiday. Season 1 is being shown here during the day. I'm going to have to start recording it next week when I'm back to work! Oh I dont mean that they need dramas all the time but maybe just a one off big drama because they havent done anything really big like that.I agree that the familys lives carry the show alone and dont need big dramas to keep the viewers like most shows do and they are such an interesting bunch to watch and are the funniest family I have ever seen on Television. I am now wishing that the writers hadnt gone down the Rebecca/Justin path because now she doesnt feel like part of the family and I dont think it will work out. I also hope Nora doesnt get another love interest in the new series because I dont like her with anybody.It sounds strange but I just prefer her on her own trying to keep her family tame. So guys who is your favourite Walker ??
Reo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I agree. The show is so entertaining as it is, but it would also be good to see something happen. We had William Walkers death, Justin getting called back, then injuried, the twins being born earlier and Baby William dying and 2 weddings. It is good seeing the 'normal' everyday lives of the Walkers, but I want something to happen, nothing over the top though. Just something away from their normal family life problems. Kevin is my favorite Walker, his lines are so funny. Followed by Nora who is just a great character all around (I would also like to see her stay single this series, I didnt like her with any of her boyfriends, I preferred her alone). I used to really like Justin, but with him and Rebecca (who I dont really like too much) getting together, Im finding him hard to like. Does anyone know if Saul is still in the show? I know Ojai was shown, but I cant remember seeing him there. Just Holly, Sarah and Tommy. Did something happened at the end of Series 2 that I am forgetting?
princess_in_pink Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 I was a bit frustrated with the "de-Walkered' Rebecca. I know its was a ploy to have the Rebecca/Justin pairing, but it bothered me. I prefer Rebecca alone & Justin. In fact Justin works better when he's single! However, even though I knew it was coming ["De-Walkered Rebecca] I was still very much surprised. & now we have Ryan. Its hard to keep track of all these illegitimate children! But I'm eager to see him, and the back story. I know in Season 3 His Father [George Lafferty] pays a visit, but decided that he doesn't want Ryan to have anything to do with the Walkers. My favorite Walker is by far Kevin. I adore him! His one liners are hilarious! I love Kevin & Scotty's relationship. My least favorite is probably Kitty. I dunno, she never really grew on me. & now I'm also disliking Robert coz....Of the way he spoke to Nora in 3x2. I understand it was needed to be said, but I found it somewhat.....rude. Does anyone know if Saul is still in the show? I know Ojai was shown, but I cant remember seeing him there. Just Holly, Sarah and Tommy. Did something happened at the end of Series 2 that I am forgetting? I can't remember if it was Season 2 or 3, but just in case I'm gonna put on spoiler tags. Saul left Ojai coz he didn't like what it was turning into, losing the family name and whatnot. After Saul left, Sarah soon followed. So now, its only Holly & Tommy working there. Oh and Rebecca. Holly hired her as the head of advertisement. .... (I would also like to see her stay single this series, I didnt like her with any of her boyfriends, I preferred her alone). Judging my next weeks episode [i'm watching American pace] she has a one night stand with her architect.

Judging my next weeks episode [i'm watching American pace] she has a one night stand with her architect. I would like to be able to watch American pace but I promised myself I wouldnt download the new epsiodes because I much prefer to watch the episodes on TV.I did download the first episode of series 3 but stopped there and now I cant wait for thursdays episode.What episode are they on at American pace by the way ? I cant believeSarah and saul leave Ojai!! But I am glad they did because Holly has ruined the family business.It will be interesting to see rebecca work there as well.. This Ryan storyline sounds very dull and I am not looking forward to it one bit. I really hope Nora stays single well one night stands are fine but just no long term relationships. Kitty is actually really annoying and she is my least favourite Walker and Sarah is my favourite by far , she always has great lines and she pulls the funniest facial expressions.I understand how you say that Robert comes across as rude like he did when Sarah came to talk to Kitty in 3x01 he wqas well rude to her and you could see Sarah felt like he was to. I think Joe has disappeared as well .Has Cooper been recast ?? He looks different.
Reo Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for the spoilers. Glad to hear the Saul hasnt gone, shame he has left the business, hopefully he will be shown more with the rest of the Walkers, he was shown to be a good brother and uncle in Series 1 Im not looking forward to Ryan too much, but only because it was done with Rebecca, she was meant to be the lost Walker. Then they de-Walkered her just to have a relationship with Justin. But if the guy playing Ryan is a good actor and Ryan a good character and they take a different route in introducing him than with Rebecca who just jumped into the family, it could be good. My least favorite Walker is Tommy. He just seems Walker by name. Firing Kevin and the way he treated Justin and gave up on him was not brotherly. I dont think the show would go downhill if he left, but I think the impact would be seen if another Walker left. Not that any are leaving, that I am aware of, just saying that Tommy could leave the show without much change and certainly not making it worse off. I hope we dont see Joe again, I never liked him. Although Gabe was a good character, shame they didnt show him more. According to IMDB Maxwell Perry Cotton has played Cooper from the start.
-Kevin- Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I loved tonights episode!! The whole book thing was hilarious especially when they were all at the dinner table and evrybody kept making smart comments. It was hilarious when Kitty and Robert were talking to the social worker and every question Robert and Kitty had different answers It was sad when Kitty and Nora had the heart to heart about how Kitty felt about her mother and the dialogue was fantastic. I am really hating Robert after his outburts at the dinner when he was ripping into everybody especially Nora.It was none of his business and was completely about Kitty and her treatment of her family.Kitty had no right to write them things and publish them without their permission. I hate Holly did I mention? Now she is snooping into this whole Ryan business which is none of her business. Why is Rebecca being stupid giving Nora her 2 million dollars like that,I understand her resasons but who in their right mind would give away 2 million dollars?
Reo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I again forgot about it and had to watch it on +1.. I got to set up a alert or something lol It was a good episode, not a great one though. I didnt think much happened. I liked the scenes in the past when the Walkers argued and their partners left with some lame excuse, leaving them to fight. So for Robert to stand up like that and shout at Nora, I didnt like that. I dont think he had a right to do that. I loved it when Saul told Holly that that is how Nora felt when she find out about the other woman (being Holly herself). And her finding out about Ryan, that is only going to lead to alot of arguments, she has no right to do that. I should of expected it though, after it was said several times that it will be up to Nora if they were going to track down Ryan.

I should of expected it though, after it was said several times that it will be up to Nora if they were going to track down Ryan. I totally forgot about it as well and also had to watch it on more4 +1 to I thought a lot happened in this episode actually. Yeah Robert had some nerve to talk to all the Walkers like that , the only thing I wish happened is that someone stood up and told him not to speak to Nora the way he did or the rest of them because he was ranting about all of them. Yeah I was only happy when Saul told Holly about how Nora felt when she discovered about Holly and William.Holly is a bitch to be honest I love how Sarah doesnt put up with her crap which is why shes my favourite Walker because she doesnt take things lying down. The scene where Sarah and Justin were talking on the phone when Tommy was there was hilarious when she was covering the phone and whispering things to Tommy
Reo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Im watching the episode again on More4.. (Sleep problems ) And something I forgot to mention before, I loved the small scene when Nora comes home and finds Kevin in the kitchen (who had been reading about himself in the book) and he said all these things and Nora was completely confused, then it ended with 'Have a good day, I'll see you at Kitty's' with Kevin replying 'Whoop dee doo' lol Very funny I love Kevin. Also, I was looking at dvds and saw that Series 2 is out in the UK on the 26th of March.
Lise Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Love this programme. I don't know what season was the last one in NZ. (I just read all of the spoilers and we definitely haven't had any of them). Love Justin. Always thought that he and Rebecca would make a good pairing and now that Rebecca knows shes not a Walker maybe it'll happen. I was a bit frustrated to find out that Rebecca's not a Walker. Kitty annoys me. I'm not sure what it is about her. I'm not much a fan of Calista Flockhart, though. Kevin's funny. Everytime he's on screen he just cracks me up. They are such a complicated family it's just sooo entertaining.
