Sappy romantic that I am ...I love the way Nick catches Nat's wrist then lays
 her hand on his cheek. Sigh...

  Nick was blown to smithereens...you say? - Nat sure did.

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!

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.
