Sigh... Nick was blown to smithereens...you say? - Nat sure did. ;-) Ell ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 02:48:04 -0500 From: Janette NatPack <natpackjanette@g.......> Subject: Re: Episode Discussion: Only The Lonely I do think I've worked in a few places or with a few groups who would dare to give a gift like that to a co-worker. I think it speaks to how much of a *family* they are. They care about each other, maybe to the point of wanting to give Natalie a little >nudge< in the right direction. I was always much more impressed with the later meeting on the street than with the initial wake-up in the morgue. There's just something so *alien* about Nick during that scene. Ger did a great job! Watch the way he's circling around to stand behind Natalie, which we all know is his favorite position to bite someone from, and how she turns to face him and opens the space back up. Shows just how far Nick has come with a little TLC and some protein shakes, don't it? ;-) Way back when I was doing 'extra scenes' transcripts, this was probably the one I was most excited about. Natalie's little lab notebook never aired on CBS. She's a good scientist, can't do a proper job without keeping records! I was a little frustrated by the fact that she refers to him by name, though. It would have been just as easy to say, "Subject was unable to ingest," as to say, "Nick was unable to ingest." And leaving it out on her desk, well, again, a little disappointing. And yet, it was great fun to see his reaction, to see his worst fears from "Feeding the Beast" confirmed. In the CBS version, Grace's lines to Nick about Natalie being missing and Roger's blood matching the killer were left on the answering machine, in place of Schanke's, and it seemed very odd that Nick wasn't reacting to them more; then they cut to halfway through the scene in the morgue, with Grace and Nick half-panicked about where Natalie is. This is also a very rare occasion when the 'filler' was poorly positioned and really hurt the story; usually I like seeing Nick in 'brood mode' perched on a second-story windowsill or tossing tarot cards into the air. In the CBS airing, Nick and Schanke discuss it being Natalie's birthday, and then the next time we see them is Nick delivering the card to Natalie, telling her he can't wait long because Schanke is in the car. I believe this is the way it was *supposed* to go, and the filler of Nick golfing in his pajamas was spliced in just to fill out the extra minutes of the Canadian version. Unfortunately, that leaves us with the longer version having Schanke drop Nick off at home, Nick changes and broods, then gets dressed again and goes to get a card and deliver it to Natalie, lying to her about Schanke waiting for him. Just doesn't flow very well. Overall, I think this is probably my favorite episode. Well, okay, maybe it's a three-way tie for first, but it's still top of the list! -Janet(te) * NatPack, despite the name "The only real question I have is why, in a building full of cops, all supposedly with a keen insight into the human soul, is Doakes the only one who gets the creeps from me." -Dexter ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 09:23:13 -0500 From: "Stone, Barbara" <STONEB@g.......> Subject: Only the Lonely: twinkie with candles They could only have used a real twinkie if they had reduced the number of candles to a symbolic three or so. A real twinkie with thirty candles is a fire hazard and is pretty much inedible by the time all thirty are lit and blown out. There isn't enough room on a twinkie for you to use those little rosette candle holders, so all the wax drips onto the cake. The flame generated by thirty birthday candles stuck in close together is rather alarming. I know, because I tried it. At home. With a big pot lid nearby to smother the flames. Although no one was hurt and nothing burned other than candle and perhaps a bit of twinkie, it was not pretty. If you feel compelled to repeat the experiment, please do so outside, in the middle of a large expanse of cement or asphalt. Or you could wait til the end of the month when my husband hooks up my new scanner for my birthday. Then I can send the photographic record of the mess. B.
