User talk:SignorSimon/Hopes for Season 8

Kudos
Kudos to you for an excellent page that just piques my interest even more, if that's possible, for Season 8 to start already.

As for my thoughts on your thoughts, I agree and disagree with some...


 * Larry and Renee relationship I think it's pretty obvious that they had some sort of romantic relationship before Day 7. To me, this was evident even a long time before Larry's death. Everything from their conversations, excessive protection, reactions, and whatnot, hinted to that.
 * Jack and Gohar I agree that this was one of the most surprisingly well executed, yet unexpected turns the series has ever had. As you mention, the show has never been one to portray religious positions other than those of extremists. But still they breezed through this so gracefully and yet with such a powerful effect that I was amazed. Kudos to Ravi Kapoor for an excellent performance that began with their confrontation at the mosque. The evolving of both characters was so believable that the ending couldn't have felt more natural.
 * Jack and Renee romance Big NO! I almost cringed at the moments during Day 7 when I felt the writers might have them kiss or something, and I was glad they didn't go that way. Actually, I read that the writers did have a kiss in the script during the scene where she slaps Jack after Marika dies, but it was Sutherland and Wersching's decision NOT to do it. I applauded that, and did the same during their final scene in the last episode.
 * Tony Almeida As reluctant as I was to having him brought up again on Day 7, after his alleged death, I'm glad they did because I think it worked neatly. I'm not sure what would I like the writers to do with him for the next season, but considering that he is my favorite character, I think I would like to see him redeemed one way or the other. I don't think he should be a main character, but perhaps deal with him some way.

Anyway, kudos for the great article again. Thief12 15:04, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
