Project Still Life Recap - "Not Fade Away" blurb

Jul 29, 2008 14:33

Not much preamble to this one. I'll skip the dramatis personae this time since we've met all the major players. For an ep that didn't have a whole lot going on, I've got a lot of notes here. And I intend to flesh out Jensen's scenes more later because a couple of them were true gems.

Max on the patio with one of his camera disassembled and spread across the table so he can clean it.

Bwah! Max has his cameras, Dean has his guns....

I was gonna say. Hee! So Fee, are camera-cleaning scenes as sexy as gun-maintenance scenes?

feliciakw July 29 2008, 21:49:19 UTC

I was totally thinking the same thing.

Re: the sexy . . . it depends on what you consider sexy--the artist!sexy of cameras or the protector!sexy of guns. I'm flexible.

I personally find that I'm quite enchanted any time Jensen plays a character who can get his techno-mechanical geek on. IT computer guy in Devour, guns in SPN, cameras in SL . . . it's all good. Truly, though? For the enjoyment of watching him, Max taking pictures is choice. And Max on the bike. But then, Izhi can tell you about how I go just a little gooey at the thought of a good looking guy on a motorcycle.

I'm sorry. Did I go off on a tangent there?

kalquessa July 29 2008, 21:53:07 UTC

I'm flexible.

Bwah! Yeah, me too, though I think I have a bigger weakness for the protector!sexy.

Oh, motorcycles are indeed of the hotness. I miss ours, which is rusting in the backyard. *pouts* One of the many things I love about living where I do is the fact that motorcycles of all kinds are very popular in this area (lots of great scenic routes in the area, and lots of traffic during the week, making lane-splitting a very big perk of owning a bike). Lots and lots of good looking fellas on bikes for me to grin at on my way to and from work.

I've been reading through these and your descriptions are so wonderful I can't help think with some "Oh, I would so love to have a screencap of this." You're doing a wonderful job and I thank you for all your efforts. I'm thinking that the networks missed a gem with this show.

Jensen in a green sweater? Sweet!

feliciakw July 29 2008, 22:43:31 UTC

Thank you. I'm delighted you're enjoying them.

I often wish others could see these, because I know I'm not doing justice to a lot of Jensen's stuff. And I'd love to be able to do series of screen caps. But caps are problematic on several levels, not the least of which is that watching Jensen in motion is much of the enchantment.

It'd be nice if there were a way to get FOX to put these on iTunes or something.

DANG! Next one is last episode! Then we'll never find out what happened to Jake. I hate that!

I can just picture the look on Max's face when Whit wants to trade the BWM for Maggie. He probably wanted to punch the guy.

IF the show had continued you know Max would go talk to Dary Anne

feliciakw July 31 2008, 00:52:30 UTC

Yeah, I'm afraid they're going to leave it with no questions answered. Which is kind of a bummer, because I'd like to know what Jake's big secret is.

We'll have to see . . .

Great recap! You are really very good with the details, I can picture the characters as you describe them in the different scenes.

Also, I was the only that asked you about the birth order - I wasn't sure who was older Max or Emily. So, based on this episode, it sounds like it goes: Jake, Max, Emily, then Daisy.

Regarding Jake's secret, wonder if even Jensen knows what it is?

I also wonder if there's a good FOX contact to request putting these eps on iTunes or on their website?

Thanks for posting!

feliciakw July 31 2008, 09:08:55 UTC

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying these recaps. I feel like I short-changed "Dead Serious," but I'll fix that in a couple weeks.

Yes, I'm now certain that we're right about the order of the kids: Jake, Max, Emily, Daisy.

Re: Max knowing Jake's secret . . . in the pilot ep, Max does say that Jake could be "a real son of a bitch," but that could just be because Jake moved in on Maggie (and moved in with Maggie, and got engaged to Maggie) when Max and Maggie hit a rough patch.

Not sure exactly how one would go about contacting FOX about these eps . . . they obviously didn't like the series enough to pick it up. I don't know if Jensen fans' making inquiries about the show would peak their interest or not.

gatorpez July 31 2008, 10:02:31 UTC

I was actually wondering if Jensen (not Max) knew what Jake's secret was, even though they'd only filmed about 6 episodes.

I don't think there'd be enough requests to peak FOX's interest, it was just wishful thinking.

feliciakw July 31 2008, 10:21:37 UTC

I was actually wondering if Jensen (not Max) knew what Jake's secret was, even though they'd only filmed about 6 episodes.

Ah. Okay. That would be a really obscure con question for him:

Jensen, a while back you did seven episode of a show called Still Life. Now, your dead brother (insert perplexed look from Jared here as he mutters, "Dead brother?") had a secret that never got revealed in those seven episodes you shot. Do you remember--or did you even know--what that secret was?
