I know you all have already discussed this episode but those of us who are new to the messageboard could use some enlightenment. What did you decide about Lulu's poker face as Nick talks about the flowers and really bares his soul? Is she playing with a full deck, just mean or does she hope for even more commitment from our Nick?

I believe she was pretty steamed about Nick's behavior at the restaurant. I didn't think much of her reaction towards Nick. She did smile a bit when Nick was talking about how dead the flowers were and that it wasn't when he bought them. I wished she didn't mention about the marriage proposal while he was apologizing to her, but I guess the writers enjoy torturing Nick. Lulu didn't show her attraction to Nick until Shelter.

Yeah, but didn't she kiss him on the cheek in Causality? what was that all about? I think she wants the apparent emotional stability of Brian and the passion of Nick. Good luck, I say!

I agree with you, Jezbel, that she is trying to satisfy her needs with two different men, not caring, IMHO, that she can end up hurting both. Even though Brian is acting like a jerk, perhaps if she wasn't the way she is, c**kt**sing, that Brian would act differently and Nick wouldn't be so attracted.  I think she appears heartless-gee-a name for Lulu's next episode....  |

The kiss in ILP still puzzles me. However, I don't think she was being heartless. Maybe she was grateful for Nick listening to her woes. Whatever the reason was, Nick seemed attracted to her from the beginning, despite her confused stage. One thing though, Lulu has a lot of issues to deal with. I think she has feelings for Nick, only Nick is more obvious. Can't wait to see where the writers are taking this storyline. I like Lulu and Nick together and I hope they get a shot of some happiness even for just an episode next season. I know, that happiness is not in Nick's future, but one episode is not too much to ask I guess.

Well, if we're talking about the same "happiness" , I've been waiting for that for 6 seasons in JAG. So we can definately be strung along. I do think the marriage thing provides many possibilities and I DO want Nick and Lulu to have a LOT of interaction.

Okay-I've got this BURNING question (if I could do the smileys, I would) but what is it about Nick and Lulu that makes the fans like them together? Help me with that, Jennifer, I really want to understand it. Are they "cute" or help each other grow or what? Because, frankly, I don't see it, and I really want to, if I'm going to have Ms Purple Hair Ribbon around forever. Can anyone shed some light? I've been watching this since the pilot. I don't get it.  |

Okay, let me start by saying that Simon Baker and Wendy Moniz have great onscreen chemistry together. The interact well whatever the scenes maybe. Both Lulu and Nick are flawed characters, which IMO have lots of potential for a future storylines. I would NOT want Nick to be involved with a perfect woman; actors call it the kiss of death. ;D I don't think Simon will like that; it will be so boring.  I like Lulu because she is not perfect, has a lot of issues to deal with, and very complicated. Many call her confused, unprofessional, etc. But that is why I like her. She is the opposite of the calm and collected Nick. In real life I would not want them together, but this is tvland and they will be fun to watch together as a couple. Imagine all the storyline possibilities for the two of them. From what I understand, this show is about character redemption. I would like the show to somehow redeem Lulu next season and grow as a character with Nick beside her. I also hope that the show gives Nick and Lulu lots of interaction and be good friends until Lulu realizes that she made a mistake marrying that cad Brian. Lastly, I think they look good together as tv couple. Both are very attractive people, IMO. |

Oh, I forgot. This is for jezbel. There is an article in the new tv guide about JAG. I don't think there is going to be any romance anytime soon for Harm adn Mac. Sorry, about that. I know this is TG board. But 6 seasons? Ugh!
Hope we don't see this in TG. I want Nick to smile a lot with Lulu. He showed a little bit of happines in Shelter.

Good job explaining the unexplainable , Jennifer. Some couples just have it and some don't. For me, these two have "it". But this chemistry could be in the eye of the beholder so justdreaming, you may never see what we see.

You may very well be correct, Jezbel, that I'll never see the "reason" for the apparent attraction. I do agree that I see attraction on Nick's part BIG TIME-I just don't see why. I see curiosity on Lulu's part, but not attraction. Even though Minette had to say what was in the script LOL! Anyway, I think Minette would have been a better choice for Nick, but DH didn't think so! And this is one of my favorite eps-the chest, the chest! JD  |

I just can't understand Lulu's behavior. She needs a shrink. Nick should do or say something to make her stew and wonder a while.
IMO (I'm never humble The reason I accept Lulu is that so far she's the best they have offered, I did say so far . I'm open to a new love interest for him.
Jennifer you think Nick is "calm and collected". To me he seems as unsure of himself as Lulu ,much of the time. Why do the writers think we would enjoy have two people like that? I find it frustrating, but don't get me wrong, I'm there for the whole ride.
Don't some of you think in Season 2 Nick should tell Lulu that Brian is not the man for her and why? There are enough reasons floating around.

yes, Justdreaming, I thought Minette's remark about Lulu liking Nick was pulled out of thin air. I certainly didn't get that impression as they were sitting at the Incline. But I do like the idea that the way she acted when he went into her office to give her the flowers was motivated by anger. Interesting. I too liked Minette and thought she was very understanding and introspective....she read him like a book. I also liked that nice bicep Nick showed to us.

Babe- Nick can't string two words together in front of Lulu, I don't see how he can ever get up the intestinal fortitude to tell her anything. I'd love it if he could. And-it's a curious thing that Lulu would get mad at the man she really wants to be with when he tries to get her to realize she's making a mistake, even if it is in front of---dripdog, er, pancake, er oh, yeah, milkdud. |
