I had to sit home today waiting for a phone interview and had some time to read lots of the posted threads. I noticed that many of the replies in various threads cross over to other threads and back. The result is a constant topic bleed over between all the main threads. After a while you notice a constant theme of various contributors.
We all have our favorites characters. And we all have the ones we dislike or just hate. Some of us are more passionate in defending their favorite and some are more neutral. I am sure some of us interject ourselves in some of the situations and think of how we would have handled the same situation differently.
In the world of MMORPG, massively multiplayer online role-playing game. When we immerse ourselves in a character, we call that character a “toon” short for “cartoon character”. When we immerse ourselves in that toon, we have total control of the paths and actions the toon takes. In a TV show? That control is given to the writers. We can fantasize all we want. The outcome is written in a script and completely out of our control.
Back to our favorite and hated characters in the series. One particular contributor’s patter sticks out. What is puzzling about this pattern is weird. I am sure some of you have read about my disdain for Juliette, the character, not the actress, Elizabeth Tulloch. I also have read some comments on some of the actors acting abilities.
But again, this one pattern is not just passionate about contempt of the character, Nick? But more so of the actor playing that part, David Giuntoli.
In the pecking order of a theatrical production, on the top is “The Producer”. Hence the name, “Production” The producer buys a script, hires all the crew, cast and director
Sometimes the writer, producer and director, actor, might be the same and all can be interchangeable. But the jobs pecking order remains the same and the actor is at the bottom of the list. If the lighting is bad, the direction is bad, the acting is bad. It all falls on the producer who did the hiring
The actor is given a script. The script tells the actor what to say. The director directs the actor on how to say it. If the director doesn’t like how he says it? They do a re-take until he is satisfied. Obviously, this doesn’t guarantee every role will be acted perfectly but at the same time you can’t blame it all to the actor.
But this contributor does. Not only points out what, where, how the character says stuff but is he alert, lazy, secretive can he fix things. Then he also ridicules the actor himself as if He produced, wrote, directed and acted the part. Now I did hear that David did some episode directing.
Before you point out the poor acting, you have a few more positions, on the pecking order to blame before you get to the actor. But again, this contributor just points out the character and the actor.
This is my conclusion on Whom and WHY? The contributor’s passion for Juliette is so intense and is so glad on what Juliette does to Nick. No matter how evil she became. If Juliette had gone with the royals to Europe and on the way, stopped in Spain and Hex/Juliette went and killed off her grandmother for scaring her with Chupacabra tale. The contributor would still forgiver her. And I know why.
This contributor is pissed because in the real world, Juliette/Elizabeth is engaged to be married to Nick/David for real and the contributor's head is re-enacting the spinning head from the Exorcist!
