So yes, since the Private Practice people have taken over a good deal of my twitter feed lately, I feel I have become a little more obsessed. And now it is referred to as PPP, because Tim Daly started it and it seems to have stuck with the cast, and with me, Ness and many other fans. -But it also makes it easier to differenciate between Private Practice and Promises, Promises.
The cast is way too entertaining on the twitter...if only they could get Brian and Paul on they'd have a complete tweeting cast!
I am loving how much I still love this show exactly the same in its 4th season. It seems to have stayed really strong, especially compared to Grey's at the same stage. It is also generally a lighter brighter show than Grey's, Violet's previous storylines, and Charlotte's current storyline aside. I also can't believe how much they seem to have fit into 3 seasons! It feels like tons happened since season 1.
-I feel bad that I didn't like Charlotte right away back in the day, but by the end of season 1 she was well on her way to being one of my fave characters.
So moving onto commenting on this season. The whole Violet/Pete getting married was weird, but good. I like them as a couple...and Lucas is too adorable! His halloween costume was very cute!
Still not really caring about the Addi/Sam...but I don't complelely hate it. lol.
Amelia turned out to be totally awesome! She's too much fun, which since they sent Charlotte all dark and twisty, has become rather necessary.
I must say I am very proud of PPP with their Charlotte rape story, but my god its been depressing! KaDee Strickland has been knocking my socks off though! Quality eps lately! But no more attackings please Shonda.
-On a side note, I've been looking up bits of season 3 lately, and found a quote in ep4 of last season...where Violet is talking to Cooper about a patient who was raped and got pregnant, and then asks him "if Charlotte was raped and got pregnant and wanted to keep the baby, that'd be a deal breaker, right?" To which he replies "Do not hypothetically rape my girlfriend". I couldn't believe I was hearing this conversation...it was scary!
Anyways...so where was I? Right...loving this season. The last few eps have been rather depressing, but have had some really good bits too. What I find funny is how excited I was to have Naomi back after Audra's time off....I guess I just missed the whole gang together, especially since they're on the twitter so damm much! The whole Naomi hugging Charlotte thing was weird and adorable.
I find myself talking out loud while watching tv a lot lately...I think its left over from watching everything together while in the US. But I was commenting on poor lonely depressed Charlotte...which got 'Lonely Tourist Charlotte Charles' in my head...a sign I've been watching too much Pushing Daisies...but I digress....
Charlotte's whole cliche and zen-ness is so sad! Charlotte is NOT zen!
I had a few notes on the last few eps, starting with...was Charlotte's cast supposed to be so huge?! Between the straight hair, the no makeup, the baggier clothes, and the huge cast on her arm...she looked 12!
Oh and what happened to her ring?! It might just be a costume slip...but where did it go? She had it after she was attacked, and then in the last ep, she wasn't wearing it. -My mind wonders...and wanders...
I had a lot of questions about the gang too...like did Amelia get her own place?, did Cooper have more than a bedroom to his apartment?, did they even own cars (being LA I know they HAD to own cars...but you never see them drive, so I wondered...) -lets just say I have a very active, and inquistive mind.
Hopefully my crazy hyperactive obsessiveness will decrease over the break....I might even be healthy!
I'm happy I finally bought season 1 on dvd in the US, and am happy to have season 2 coming soon. Hopefully season 3 will get cheap on amazon before I start season 2, cause I'll NEED it!
