Dutch Cosmopolitan – October 2010

Also Brittany at TvOvermind got a new Once and Again review ready for us! Go and read!

Once & Again 1.04 “Liars and Other Strangers” Rewind Recap
In the first three episodes, Once & Again has covered dating, sex and the stigmas that come with both. So what’s on tap for episode four? Nothing, and that’s the problem. Rick and Lily can’t get their schedules to coordinate, so they have nowhere private to go, at least until Lily’s sister Judy offers up her place. It’s perfect until her sister comes home early and discovers them all over each other. The first meeting between sibling and significant other does not go well. While the adults are indisposed, the kids are left to pick up the pieces. Eli has to cover for Rick when Karen arrives early and looking for him. Grace, meanwhile, struggles with her crush on Eli. In an attempt to one-up Jennifer, she signs up for the high school’s mock trial team, on which Jennifer is prosecuting attorney.

Once and Again

Once and again

Brittany at TvOvermind posted another the review of “Once and again”, for the third episode!

Once & Again 1.03 “The Scarlet Letter Jacket” Rewind Recap
When last we left Once & Again, there had been some pretty big steps forward taken in everyone’s relationships. So where do they all go from there? Rick and Lily are still unable to keep their lips off each other, as we find out when he makes an unannounced visit to her house in the morning. She detaches herself from him, only to find out from Grace everything that happened last episode – that there’s that nasty rumor about Grace and Eli that almost blew up Eli’s relationship with Jennifer. I would feel more sympathetic if it wasn’t Grace’s own fault said rumor got started in the first place. Lily has to deal with the ramifications of her relationship with Rick becoming public, such as one of her friends being one of Karen’s friends. Awkward. Speaking of awkward, Grace and Eli get thrown together for a class project – something which anyone who survived high school can tell you is either really fun or horrible torture, depending on who you end up stuck with. (I was one of those kids who never had a partner unless I was lucky enough to have a friend in class. Then again I never knew anyone in high school as adorable and actually intelligent as Eli, or I would have been in love.) This does not help Grace’s public perception issues.

News // Nikita // Once and Again

Reviews

Lovely Brittany at TvOvermind is doing a lot of reviews of Shane’s telefilms… She posted the reviews for first two episodes of “Once and again” and also a re-review of Nikita’s first episode and she really changed her opinion about Shane…

Once & Again 1.01 “Boy Meets Girl” Rewind Recap
My third spotlight here at Rewind Recaps goes to ABC’s Once & Again, the critically acclaimed blended-family drama that aired from 1999 to 2002. I’ll admit that I didn’t watch O&A when it aired, but between the critical acclaim and a cast that boasts a number of faces familiar to me, I couldn’t help but take a look.
You’ve seen most of these people before, and probably not given them their due. The show is fronted by Sela Ward (CSI: NY) and Billy Campbell (The 4400), but there’s also a much younger Shane West (Nikita) and Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen), plus veteran actors Jeffrey Nordling (24), Susanna Thompson (NCIS) and Marin Hinkle (Two and a Half Men). Put them all together in one show, and you have a recipe for something good.

Once & Again 1.02 “Let’s Spend The Night Together” Rewind Recap
When last I left Once & Again, I was cheering that Rick and Lily had finally gotten together. Now, they’re having to try and fit their budding relationship into the overstuffed calendars that come with being working parents. I would not want to be either of them. (I’m somewhat proud to say that my parents never went to a single parent-teacher conference and maybe one back to school night, and only because I asked. They were not the type to bother.) Lily can’t even get Jake out of her kitchen, though since we’re talking about Jeffrey Nordling, I would not complain.
I finally get to see the show’s credit sequence for the first time, and I have to say that it amuses me that the clips do not correspond with the actors being credited. If you didn’t already know who plays what character, you would never figure it out by watching the opening titles. I think it’s a bit weird, but no one asked me.

Nikita 1.01 “Pilot” Re-Review
With tonight’s episode of Nikita being a rerun, I decided to take a second look at the pilot and re-evaluate my first impressions, to see if things looked any different now. For the most part, I found myself sticking by what I said in my original review, but there were some aspects which became much clearer the second time around.
As I said then, the pilot episode is definitely a pilot. It’s clunky, expository, and only a so-so episode on the whole – but that’s what a pilot is. It has to spend most of its running time explaining to you who these people are and why you should care, and Nikita got the first part down, but not so much the second. I didn’t then and don’t now consider that a failure, considering that I can count on one hand the number of pilot episodes I’ve actually enjoyed (three: Sports Night, Third Watch, and Human Target, and even the latter didn’t really click until episode two). This isn’t Nikita‘s best episode and it shouldn’t have been expected to be.

Gallery // Once and Again

Once and Again Gallery

Ho finalmente creato nella Gallery un album per le foto promozionali di Once and Again! Vorrei anche fare le Screencaps degli episodi, ma alcuni li ho in una qualità davvero bassa e non credo ne valga la pena, voi cosa ne dite? Tra l’altro vorrei consigliare a tutti voi fan di Shane di guardare questa serie se ne avete l’occasione perchè è davvero stupenda, ed è davvero un peccato che ne abbiano fatte solo 3 serie!
