I haven't started getting attached to any characters besides Karen as yet (I was a rather bad fangirl and only managed to see the last fifteen or twenty minutes of the pilot :}), and JackDav fangirl that I am, I don't particularly like Derek much— I think it's probably his horn-dog character trait that's mostly turning me off. Still, it's very cool to see Jack playing a character that, at least thus far, isn't all that likable :]. *Nods* The one moment I did like, though, was when Derek told Eileen (that's the name of Anjelica Huston's character, right?) he turned down the offer to return to the project he'd been kicked off of so he could work on the Marilyn musical :). Keeping that in mind, I may end up liking him after all 8). *Nods*
Really ? I thought the (now seemingly resolved) disagreement over her wanting to adopt the baby no matter how long it took & her husband concluding that there was no point because it would take so long, and by then, he'd be too old to help take care of a baby, was very good.
Even the son didn't feel believable to me. I notice how she went back to work and he had to be fine with it but she didn't like the idea of him going back to work either...
You mean her husband, don't you?
Given those statistics you listed, though, your point that they could/should have been willing to adopt a couple of American kids in addition to the baby is a good one. *Nods*
What did you think of the writers' choice to have Ivy get the leading role in the musical? I was disappointed at first, since the way Karen sung the songs gave me the impression that she really, truly meant what she was singing, whereas Ivy was just giving performances. But now that I've had time to think about it more, that was really the best decision for the writers to make story-wise, since if Karen had gotten the role, it might end up becoming a little boring after awhile. The way they seem to be planning to intertwine whether or not she remains just a supporting cast member in the musical with whether Derek & Ivy's newly-begun affair is going to be revealed (and possibly cause her to lose the role) is going to make for some very intriguing drama =)! *Nods excitedly*
