Northern Exposure
I 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:

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*

And yay, I'm glad you're liking NE. ^____^
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.

Also? You're insane lol

So hey, did the series actually air in France? Cause I don't remember it at all.
You know me, Crimes or ghosts, not so much anything else, lol.
Yeah, kinda sounds like you lol

Who cares about not having time? When a series calls, it's our duty to answer! *agrees*

And I read about Rob Morrow/Joel's departure and I can see why it wouldn't have been the same. I hate it when things change in a show - though I do make exceptions now and then *thinks of sg s9*
no subject
And I don't know if it ever aired here, I only ever saw it when I was in England, so... dunno.
And :-D, I like me my criminals and my demons, what can I say?
no subject
*giggles* J'adore!
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*
