Life, Fannishness, and Thespic Infatuation

Yes, my blurbs seem to have grown into full-grown recaps. Each scene gets at least a sentence. I warned you, didn't I?

We've got lots of ground to cover with this last installment, so grab a cup or glass of your favorite beverage, sit down, and hold on.

( Caught )

And that, my friends, is the last of Still Life. I'm going to take a breather for a few days and attend to some pressing RL things. Then I'll get back to it and fill out some of the stuff (mostly the Jensen stuff) I missed the first time around.

Not much preamble to this one. I'll skip the dramatis personae this time since we've met all the major players. For an ep that didn't have a whole lot going on, I've got a lot of notes here. And I intend to flesh out Jensen's scenes more later because a couple of them were true gems.

( Not Fade Away )

Next ep is our last one.

Welcome back, gang, and welcome to our next installment of Still Life. As mentioned previously, this one is somewhat Jensen-light, but what is there is worth the effort.

At this point, I'll briefly recap the dramatis personae for this ep:

Ben Morgan = Dad, cop
Charlotte = Mom, running for mayor
Jake = eldest brother, deceased, killed on first day of job as cop, acts as narrator for the show
Max = only remaining son of the family, photographer, looking for work, formerly dated Maggie Jones
Emily = eldest sister, great cook, just quit job as a (legitimate) hostess at a high-end strip club called Marlo's
Daisy = youngest Morgan child, still in high school
Maggie = Jake's fiancée, Max's ex-girlfriend, owns art gallery
Gideon = former college acquaintance of Emily, and Emily's current flame
Stack = chef at Marlo's, friend of Emily
Jonathan = Charlotte's campaign advisor (played by an actor who was on Firefly . . . the ep where someone has his body shipped to Mal and Zoe. The soldier who remembered the "If you can't run, then you crawl, and if you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you." Oh! "The Message"? Was that the ep title? Anyway . . . yeah, him.)

So let's get right to it, shall we?

( Disappearances )

Since we (here in the US, anyway) are coming upon a long weekend, and since I will be having some out-patient surgery and won't be able to get to the LoC for about a week, I thought I'd leave you all with at least a blurb of what the 2nd episode was about.
