I haven't seen the show yet so I really enjoyed reading that! Very well written :)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really recommend the show.

Good essay. Well done. :-)

FYI - The Season 1 DVDs are available for pre-order from both Amazon.ca (release date June 6th) and Amazon.com (release date June 27).

AH! Thank you. I'll edit that information in.

Great job. I love your essay and I hope, everyone who read this will go and take a look at it because it's a great show.

Thank you :D

Oh, great essay! Spread the Geoffrey love! ...and a general lack of hygiene. Uhm... what? Yes? Is that so? Than he's the most fuckable unhygienic man I've ever seen ( ... )

Thank you so much :D. I'm glad you liked the essay. I'm also glad you agree with the timeline.

You have bjohan57 to thank for me including your favourite scene. I wasn't going to, planning to leave it for the viewing audience, but she said she felt it had to be included, so it was. I love that scene for the very reasons you describe as well. It was that scene where I almost fell apart over my love for Geoffrey. Isn't Paul the most amazing actor? He oozes vitality.

It was that scene where I almost fell apart over my love for Geoffrey.

Yes, exactly like this. I wanted to jump right into the screen, shouting "My bounty is as boundless as the sea...". And I've never been so tempted to write an OFC (read: self-insert) story before. But, don't worry, I'll spare you that *g*

And about Paul Gross... my thoughts tend to get a bit incoherent when I try to talk about him. But I think "paulgrossness" as to be added to merriam-webster as "scorchingly hot, incredibly talented, highly dangerous for women's brains and spectacularly dorky". 'nuff said.

LOL! I know. Writing a self-insert is appealing. When I wrote my S&A/Wilby Wonderful story I channelled Ellen and pretended I was her *snicker*.

A definition of Paul would take up a whole page in a dictionary, but it would certainly include everything you have written. One minute quoting shakespeare in the most beautiful way - the next singing "Route 66" and leaping about like someone on a caffeine/dork high.

::applauds:: Well done. You really have captured the nuances of the character and the world in which he finds himself. He really is such a great character, and as you say, sometimes he really is the sanest character of the bunch:-)

Thank you very much :D
