castalieI broadened my er, media horizon last night - as you do. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anglepoiselamp who uploaded the first two episodes of Northern Exposure for me for her flist, I was finally able to see the series everyone was rambling about. I remember when I got into Numb3rs - it felt like you couldn't have one without the other mentioned at least once. Everyone was raving about it and about Joel and I was quite curious to see the infamous series - and okay, quite curious to see Rob Morrow in that role, I'll admit *g*
Well I saw ;-) My first thought was omg he's so young! I mean... not that he looks old now - far from it - but just - he really looks young in Northern Exposure. Or different, if you will. Joel? Isn't exactly Don.
So I come bearing a little visual aid because I know it's always more fun with pics. Guys? Well, those who don't already know him, obviously. Say hello to Dr. Joel Fleischman:
Admittedly, he isn't supposed to be Don - in particular since Joel was there long before Don Eppes was even a glimmer in his own creator's eye. But whatever - comparing is sometimes a nice hobby *cough*
And speaking of comparisons and differences and all... to all of you Don lovers, ie to all the lovers of the "tight jeans and rolled up sleeves" - I think that's one of the things you love so much, right? - well you'll notice that The Look... wasn't exactly there either. Case in point:
Ah the nineties... there's something special about them, isn't it? lol
Haven't watched the two episodes yet - only the beginning of the pilot but I liked what I saw already. Poor Joel *shakes head*
And two other pics - for all the nostalgic around here: that one because I like the way it looks:
And dedicated toturps33, the - infamous? - moose:

Date: 2005-10-11 10:22 am (UTC)I did watch, watched every episode until Joel left and things changed too much for my taste. I had quite the crush on Ed at the time though Chris and or Joel do it more for me now.
Hmmmm, Joel/Chris, I wonder....
Gah, Joel not Joey. You know where my head went *g*

You know me, Crimes or ghosts, not so much anything else, lol.
Yeah, kinda sounds like you lol

And :-D, I like me my criminals and my demons, what can I say?

I have no idea whether it aired her, then. Though, if it did, how come I never heard of it? That's not natural *shakes head*

It is terribly 90's, but other than the inevitable fashion crimes, I was surprised at how little the show has aged. Or, dunno, maybe 'aged gracefully' would be the right phrase here.
