Tonight's 'Hawthorne' alternately known as SQUEE!!!

[arabian]

Seriously, just I did the fan-girl waving hands thing, I grinned, I squealed, I rewatched. Just SQUEE!!!!!! You know, so often shows cast "the" couple that viewers are supposed to root for and in my experience, rarely do I find that they have that much chemistry. It's all so forced and blah. But here, on this show, damn, they hit the bulls-eye

"And it was Michael Vartan saying these things looking like, you know, Michael Vartan, speaking in his native French and me? I'm just dead now. OH MY GOD!!!"- Me too. XD I also loved that they had a picture of his dog (I'm pretty sure) on his desk ; so cute!

[arabian]

Heh! I love how all of these Michael-things they have thrown in there. The hockey, the French, his dog now. I'm just waiting for the reveal of his tattoos, LOL!

WE DO!!! Hey, are you up for talking tonight? I really want to do some S/P, J/K, BBT, general fangirling?!?!??!

I KNOWWWWWW. I'm usually not one for canon pairings but THIS has got me. I absolutely love Tom/Christina. I'm so glad to be getting into something I like the canon for at the beginning. Now I get to know what it's like to be part of the canon fandom!

I want to like canon pairings, but rarely do the pushed ones work. I'm fortunate in that most of my prime-time couples wind up happening eventually. (Fingers crossed for S/P.) But these two? They really did a bang-up job. And they know it! The promo for this episode was ALL about the Thornefield.

ITA Hawthorne`s Tom/Christina is the shippiest couple on tv right now...they rock!

MV/JPS have awesome chemistry and truthfully that`s why HT has become my fave drama of the season.

Love also that they gave us a tiny glimpse into their pasts & private lives...all in all a very squeeworthy night for me!!!!!!!!

I'm still kinda surprised at just how effortlessly and chemically they've slipped into this groove. It's just fabulous.

Me too; slipping that bits of info, showing them get to know one another, it just, oh, they're building them up so nicely.

I've been a bit curious about this show. I've been watching "Nurse Jackie" religiously, and I'm super over-protectinve of any other new show about nurses. But for Michael Vartan, I might make an exception. What are the medically scenes like? I'm a bit squeamish, and this will sometimes make me not watch medical shows (I've steered clear of Grey's Anatomy for this reason).

[arabian]

The medical stuff is mostly non-existent, LOL! It has some lack of realism, of course, but they do nurses a lot better than most shows because Jada Pinkett Smith (who is WONDERFUL!)'s mother is/was a nurse and so she's trying to more accurately reflect that. A few of the supporting characters are annoying, but Christina and Tom (Vartan) are awesome and they have EXCELLENT chemistry.

Like Arabian said , it `s not much based on realism & there`s rarely any gory scenes in ER or OR. But you know what for once, I`m enjoying a show that doesn`t go all ER,GA angst-heavy on us!

As a rule I don`t like the heavy dramas set in the legal & medical fraternities and I`m glad the likes of HT has found a niche among the less discerning viewers. Of course I might add the big drawcard is the ThorneField (cute!) dynamic and I for one hope they develop their ship slowly and believable as they do now.

So, give it try at least IMO it`s way better entertainment than to watch those dreadful "reality" shows the networks bombard us with!
