And that's a wrap

Well, Second Chance s1 is officially over and done and now we have to wait for FOX to make their decision. As usual, I don't wanna get into details as to not to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it yet, but it looks like there's not that much of a cliffie, more like an open door for a potential s2 which, I have to admit, would be awesome if they went the way they suggested.



Hopefully I can sit down and watch it all in one go very soon :D And because this was the season finale and it was kinda emotional, I honestly wasn't able to find any pics to add captions to them (w00t). Tim delivered a very emotional performance, those heartbroken and teary-eyed expressions were beautiful and one thing I definitely know - this ep gave me tons of caps to use for future whumpy manips where I need some epic Peter angst :D And there were also some epic badass moments :D

So let me share a few here:









Hmmm, gorgeous baby *pets him* I added 339 caps from that ep to the SC post so it's now complete \o/ If any links are not working, just let me know and I'll fix it :D

Also, is anyone watching The Family on ABC? I got seriously hooked on that show, mostly because of Andrew McCarthy :D Our Adler is sooooooooooooooooooo awesome playing his character :D You can see right away that the guy is not right, creepy at times but at the same time, the things he has to deal with honestly make you feel sorry for him. And Andrew is just brilliant :D And he also got to direct an ep already :D The show itself offers a rather common premise on TV and I don't expect it to live longer than one season. I just hope they are gonna answer at least some of the big questions before they get axed, hee :D

OMG a teary eyed Tim is just so heartbreaking! I really hope the show continues.

I totally agree with your Andrew McCarthy comments. How he manages to make a pedophile both creepy and a sympathetic figure. I had no idea he was such a great actor. I must see what else he's been in. He was good on WC but playing Adler did not afford him the same depth of character as his role in The Family.

Tim does have a very mobile face. Yay for manip :)

Catching up with the Family! You are right, it's getting better and better with each episode. I've spoilered myself just reading the IMDB episode descriptions, but that's okay. I can pay more attention to the little details then.

I hadn't even realized that this was Adler. It's been a while since I last watched him. You are right, he is very good. They all are, otherwise I would not watch it. I need to have a connection with the actors and characters, and I did here right from the pilot. I also like the police woman very much. The bickering with that FBI guy is hilarious. Did he say "my husband"? Heh! You expect such things from British TV but not necessarily from American. Which channel is this on, do you know?

I would be absolutely fine if this was only a short series with an ending. Why drag things out endlessly? I am starting to appreciate these short seasons more and more. I recently also watched 11-22-63 done by JJ Abrams after a Stephen King book about a guy who travels to the past and wants to prevent the murder of JFK. It also only had 8 episodes.

Or all the British series like The Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston recently, or Broadchurch. Have you ever watched Broadchurch? If not, you must. The Family reminds me a lot of this actually. There a child gets murdered at the beginning and it is also interesting to see what this does to the people of the village, how everyone has a dark secret, how friends become enemies. Great actors all along. Highly recommended! If you can recommend something to me, I can do it to you LOL

It could also have ended after 8 episodes, they found the murderer in the end, but it got a second series which was equally good, dealing with the trial and shaking things you thought you knew up again.
