So well, our "psycho-colledge-girl" turns out to be pretty normal, right? In fact she knows more about Mike then we do.Hilary the Touched wrote:That was my impression too, Moira--that you had to *earn* the extra markings that went with the triangle, and you didn't do it by selling more Girl Scout cookies .
IMO, we ought to be prepared for some realy ugly aspects of our handsame gentlemen!
Oh dear lord, no.Helen8 wrote:LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "West Wing" veteran Janel Moloney is joining the Showtime drama "Brotherhood,"
Thanks for putting this spoiler alert, Helen. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough space between it and the spoiler information, so I learned something about the new season that I'd rather not have yet.SPOILER FOLLOWS
How about we start a new topic thread for spoilers, cleared labeled as such, so that only people who don't mind them will read them?
I was hoping the show wouldn't have Tommy having an affair. That's just too...easy. Let Tommy show some restraint in at least one area where Michael wouldn't.She will appear in four episodes playing a woman who has an affair with ambitious local politician Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke).
Though, maybe it will be that, in exploring the brothers deeper, the two will begin to switch the "Good Son, Bad Son" roles. Maybe Tommy will become so pressured that he'll resort to violence, not done by himself, but by others (Michael has already offered his protection services), and maybe Michael will show more moderation in order to keep a lower profile (as demonstrated with his reigning in Kat's wild behavior at the gas station store). Done well, it could be very interesting.
But I have deep reservations about adding an actress that one of the show's "stars" has worked with in a romantic role in a well known TV show. What I love about BH is that so much of the cast is "unknown." I didn't associate them with other roles or better known shows or films, so I could enjoy them as the BH characters. (It took me a few episodes to disassociate Michael from the gangster JI played in Elecktra.)
As talented as Janel Moloney is, I've never liked her in anything I've seen. I couldn't understand what JI's photo-reporter in TWW saw in Donna, or what anyone else saw in Donna. It seemed her being blond was enough to make her an object of male desire, even if she was as dull as dishwater.
Oh, well. I'll try to reserve judgement until I actually see the second season, which won't be till it comes out on DVD.
That was Hil's doing. I'm not sure if it can be considered a spoiler though, as news like this generally doesn't reveal too much of the actual plot. Noyce and Masters were very tight-lipped about last years episodes, and anything revealed this year would probably be secondary to the main story arc (or to entice new viewers). Even then there's no way to tell how or if these new developments pan out. Gotta keep the fans guessing.Thanks for putting this spoiler alert, Helen.

It could easily be done, simply by marking any news "S2" in the subject header. Unfortunately rehashing old episodes only goes so far, and this is, well, a forum for discussing all things BH, so you might find yourself spending less and less time here in the months to come. (And what fun is that?)How about we start a new topic thread for spoilers, cleared labeled as such, so that only people who don't mind them will read them.
That was my take on her too. She didn't seem to have much use, other than padding out the story a bit. I can't say I've seen her in anything else.It seemed her being blond was enough to make her an object of male desire, even if she was as dull as dishwater.

Alas, I'll be avoiding the BH S2 threads until it comes out on DVD, if I get the DVD, since I can't watch it on cable, and I don't want to know what happens ahead of time. And I need to spend less time here anyway....Unfortunately rehashing old episodes only goes so far, and this is, well, a forum for discussing all things BH, so you might find yourself spending less and less time here in the months to come.

I'll play catch-up when/if I get the DVD.
Not at all! It's something I haven't done, I fact, several somethings I need to be doing. Projects that demand attention. Unfortunately, I've been diagnosed with a bad case of ambition. I've tried to have it removed, but I'm afraid it's spread throughout my entire system. So there's nothing for it but to give in to it and try to actually accomplish something.Helen8 wrote:And I need to spend less time here anyway.
Was it something we said?
