172 - OOH! Two for the price of one. Love it! She definitely looks contemplative.
186,187,188 - Yes! Another gif. And that smile on Monk's face definitely sells the notion, imo...
190 - Hahahahaha! A million times funnier when paired with the icon!
196 - Yes, yes, yes...that's so what Nat's eyes are saying ;D
204 - Guess what I woke up to and saw on Twitter this morning? #itshouldbeillegal is trending! So everyone's tweeting what should be illegal! I'm totally psychic!
216 - OH SNAP! i thought that too, its totally a Sharona thing to plan, and even when she did she started to ham it up with her OW's and the arm breaking. Nat looked confused and I think Monk thought she planned it, he was smiling too much to think it was an actual accident.
226 - I know. And I love how she warned him just like the good ole days. Unlike Natalie who just hugs him whenever she gets the notion. Which is a lot lately...not that I'm complaining.
228 - I scared my family with my howl of excitement. They were all like O_o Just like Monk and Natalie when they saw the kiss :P
229 - Speaking of that look... Love the gif! It's your turn next, guys, it's your turn next.
242 - Cool, glad to have helped.
I have been trying to download it since last night, but my computer is being dumb. Once I get it though, I will watch it at least that many times too and probably more. This honestly could have been one of the BEST episodes in all of Monk history. I think so anyways. Again, snagging all of 'em :)
172 - She does, especially since its right after they've been fighting over him. I loved his response too. he was like "so everyone can be miserable" awwwww
the closet gif - i was trying to get it in the right order to make it look like it was Adrian up to no good *gg*, i didnt notice him smiling when they were caught until i went through the screencaps, i did notice Sharona eyeing up Natalie's hands all over Monk. I think Sharona, like the captain, sees Adrialie Love too. we need nat and monk to see it now.
196 - awwwwwww, i had to make that from what you commented, i draw a distinction between "love" for someone and being "in love" totally diffrent. and i think even the captain loves monk as a friend, cares for him... but Nat has fallen in love with monk.
It's like when Sharon points out Nat calls him 'Mr. Monk' and even to adrian and Nat it seemed like it was wrong for her to still be calling him that, but it ws crossing some line for them if she called him anything else. esp with monk saying "why would i mind?" its became an obvious thing that she still calls him 'mr.monk' and shouldnt... but it sounds really cute ^^
204 - LOL im not much of a twitter person, but i loved the recent RIP Kanye West trend, and all the Glee trending YAY
I even saw 'Hocus Pocus' trending yesterday.
I don't complain about all the hugs either, the hug in the dumpster last episode was so cute... still sounds odd.
i loved the ep where sharona and monk had to pretend to be married and they had to kiss, both of their faces was HI-Larious! and he made her sleep in a tent on the floor LOL
228 - ive passed on the FTW! arms to my sister now, i do that all the time when awesomness happens and i did it there, whilst trying to stay seated.
229 - it need to be their turn next, randy/sharona happy, i really want there to be nothing wrong with TK and for the captain to be happy.... and after seeing randy/sharona happy its not out of the reaches of possibility that Adriale can happen.
I think the same, its up there with best eps, if not the best... right now anyways.. for the fact its sharona and nat in the same ep.
"the closet gif - I saw her look too. Like she was, "oh, I see what's going on here. Now I get why you're being so jealous/defensive/paranoid/add other insults here :P"
she looks up and down at them, sly looks to her side, and if you look closly she is mouthing something, maybe she is praying they wont get killed, i dunno, but sharona is muttering something.
trending on twitter is so odd, im gonna go and have a look see now...
wow #itshouldbelegal is still number 1, LOL and followed by what my family is watching, all X-Factor related things. meh.
my sister probably dont know what ships are, i've had to explain them to many people when i say things like "Shenny or Xanya etc." its a total geek thing, that helps you identify others like us when you can use these words in everyday conversation and they are like "AHH! I totally ship them too!" *hugs* but she is coming around to internet terms, and does the FTW! arms when things are awesome. (her last time was when we told her Tracey Beaker is getting a new series, a kids show she LOVES)
re-randy/sharona i've always shipped them, and never shipped randy/nat.. i see them more like brother&sister, he's the annoying kid brother lol. so GO WRITERS!
oooh interview, a link please? or was it on the monk website, one of those ones you can watch?
I *think* she was saying "ohmigod" over and over really fast.
Haha, I remember explaining shipping to my sister, mom AND dad. My dad is all for Monk and Natalie too. My sister was for Randy and Sharona and my mom is just pretty much clueless to anything.
ME TOO! I've always, always, always shipped them. That was why I could never, in a million years, even if there was chemistry, ever ship Randy/Natalie. Randy and Sharona were made for each other. OMG! Just caught something when watching another clip of the episode on megavideo. When Natalie, Sharona, Randy and Leland start having their big ol' fight, Randy turns and tells Sharona (it's hard to make out over everyone else) something along the lines of "What were you thinking? You could have easily gotten yourself killed!" Awwwwwwww. Proof that he was already looking out for her!
C. Nyholm Hi again. My question is really for both of you. Is there ever any thought of making the relationships more than friendship and turning them romantic - with both Sharona and with Natalie?
T. Shalhoub Any thought on my part or on the writers’ part?
C. Nyholm On the writers.
B. Schram We came close, Tony. There was some - Tony, remember when we had to kind of try to kiss or something and …
T. Shalhoub We were posing as a married couple. Yes.
C. Nyholm I think I remember that one.
B. Schram That was funny.
T. Shalhoub That was good. I don’t want to answer that too directly because some of the upcoming episodes start to speak to that. And I wouldn’t want to reveal anything prematurely.
Huge thankies for the link and the section from the interview, the diffrence with that was there wasnt an actual romantic relationship between sharona and adrian in that ep, just great to see him uncomfortable and her uncomfortable on the floor.
I hope what he mentions isnt the shandy coupling and is Adrialie.
Its interesting how he says, what he thinks or the writers... does he ship them? and the writers have never officially went there because that kills tv shows? and its better to be subtext than to be text. i enjoy looking for adrialie love more than i would enjoy a whole season of them actually together, its like a secret code between the writers and shippy fans :D
re- the closet, is it me or can monk make jokes now? he never used to have a sense of humour, like in Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk he tried to make a joke about persperation to the fake inventor... and he also said "affair" instead of "extra-marital sex affair" like he usually does this episode. bless him he's getting there...slowly.
When my family watched my season 6 dvds got all "ooh!" over Adrialie in the last few eps, the bank one especially. Nat LOVED him in that uniform. (and lol to your clueless mom)
My sister likes the show, its hard to make her watch anything, it took till she was 8 or 9 till she would watch Buffy all the way through. (she was too young to remember it when it was aired, esp since she was born in 1998) but mainly she wonders how my mom and I love Adrian, she says "but he's so old!"
Re- the 4-way fight, i listened to it over and over to zone in on each character this is what i sort of got
Randy - why were you there in the first place, you couldve gotten yourself killed. (to nat) what? why did you let him do that...*something i cant hear over sharona* (maybe "your meant to look out/after him *shrug*)
Nat - How many cases has Mr. Monk solved, really? Where were you? Mr. Monk had a hunch (something about the closet) oh stop it!
Leland - the point is we wernt there, these people couldve easily gotten hurt, mr. monks hunch is gonna get...Monk! Monk! what do you think?
Sharona (the hardest to hear, sounds a lot like screeching, all i get is... SCREECH! uncle... uncle, my uncle...screech) it dont help i cant read her lips with the way she's standing :(
Well, I'm hopeful that it's not just Shandy but actually both because he says "episodes" which means there will be multiple happenings. With Sharona not reappearing again, then we can *almost* safely assume that he meant both couples. Of course, he's not necessarily saying that it will happen either. Just that the idea will be addressed one way or another. That's what I got from it anyways.
Actually...I'm 98 percent positive that Tony Shalhoub is a shipper and that it explains the added chemistry to the characters. I think he purposely adds stuff (I know he sometimes adlibs scenes) for the ship. But that's just my opinion. And in just about every interview I can recall, he very happily mentions Monk and Natalie's relationship. I still have the video from his live chat prior to Mr. Monk is On The Run Pt. 2 and remember how giddy he appeared to get when talking about how he believed there would be more movement between Monk and Natalie in the future. Again, he said that was his opinion though and that he couldn't speak for the writers. In fact, re-the uniform thing in season 6, Tony Shalhoub said it was one of his favorite episodes and he went into detail about how Natalie absolutely adores Monk in uniform, hehehe.
It definitely helps! I just love that Randy was all "You could have gotten yourself killed." So sweet. And I think Randy does say something like "You're supposed to watch him" to Natalie.
98% LOL, I swear I've read interviews where he says he was adding the subtext to the Adrian/Nat relationship... well we picked up on it :D i should save these interviews.
Plus the link to the phone interview it seems clear when he says do they want his opinion on it or the writers... sadly they dont say both... and ask for the writers opinions.
I've read from the writers and in commentary's where they say they write the lines, and then Tony will turn a few simple lines into this big Monk-ism... so i dont see why he doesn't for the adrialie love :)
Do you know any info on Traylor's thoughts on the relationship between monk and natalie, all ive ever watched is from when she first started on the show, and its got to have progressed from then.
Yep, I think I remember something like that too. I need to save mine too :P
Yeah, I know. They always ask him what the writers want and never him. Sigh.
Well, I don't have the link off hand, but I have a quote from Traylor. This was way back in between seasons 7 and 8 so her thoughts may have progressed even further:
"I think there are a lot of different opinions on that one," said Ms. Howard. "Some people want it and others can't envision it. I don't know if I can. But it's hard for me to imagine them without each other."
I know in the end he has to act out what the writes write, but to know what goes through the actors head re-the nat relationship adds so much weight to it all. Esp for us shippers, if we know he is thinking the same as us, and adding the sub-text, then we are seeing it as he wants it to be seen.
Thanks for the quote, its at least nice to see she is aware of it, I swear with some show they mention relationships the fans like to actors and they are shocked and are like "wow never see that."
172 - I know! Hearing him say that really got to me.
the closet gif - I saw her look too. Like she was, "oh, I see what's going on here. Now I get why you're being so jealous/defensive/paranoid/add other insults here :P"
196 - Exactly. It was clear that Sharona meant she loved him as any good friend should (just like the Captain also said he loves both Sharona and Natalie). But the look on Natalie's face, which she snaps up and looks at Sharona when she says it mind you, just seems to say that she's in love with him.
While I would seriously love to hear Natalie call out "Adrian" in a very dramatic way before the end of the series (hehehe), her calling him Mr. Monk actually reminds me of my all time favorite romance novel, Emma by Jane Austen in which the Emma always calls her love interest Mr. Knightly and then at the end says something like "Now I'll call you MY Mr. Knightly."
204 - Some of the stuff that trends is just crazy. But I was genuinely amused by this one. It was just so ironic.
More Monk and Natalie hugs, FTW! Hehehe, yeah, hugging in a dumpster. Natalie just knocked off two of Monk's phobias right there. But of course, it just goes to show that he's that close to her now. I bet Trudy could have hugged him in a dumpster!
Both Tony and Bitty named that one when asked in an interview about whether or not they thought there would ever be romance between Monk/Sharona or Monk/Natalie. Then Tony said he couldn't answer that question directly because upcoming episodes will begin to speak to that and he can't give anything away.
228 - I wish my sister would get into ships like me, but she only secretly ships, denies it and then honestly thinks I don't know what her secret ships are :P
229 - I seriously think that Randy/Sharona happening is proof that the writers will do whatever they want despite fans' reaction. I'm sure they knew about Randy/Natalie shippers, but they went with their own intentions (as it should be) anyways. We can only hope that Monk and Natalie are also their intentions.
172 - OOH! Two for the price of one. Love it! She definitely looks contemplative.
186,187,188 - Yes! Another gif. And that smile on Monk's face definitely sells the notion, imo...
