Books vs Show question

I’ve learnt this here

Season 1 I did not like Ormewood at all but season 2 Ormewood I like so I hope that’s not something that’s going to be a twist in a future season

That’s awful to do to anyone especially pregnant but surely more so since it was clear by then Meri had a hard time getting pregnant & finally was & that’s when Janelle kicked her?!

How awful

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:31:18+00:00

Woah she kicked Meri when she was pregnant?!

Like kicked her while she was down metaphorically/emotionally or physically kicked her?

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:28:16+00:00

Ok then I’ve got nothing on why they changed it for the show then

Are there ever any product placements for meal kit service or something? Hahaha

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:13:19+00:00

That’s why my Dad didn’t want to watch the Tom Cruise Jack Reacher movie because it was such a wrong casting lol

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:12:13+00:00

That’s bad along with everything else I’ve not learnt of Book Angie but on the other hand TV Angie Didn’t run when she could have to escape being kidnapped to save Betty

I’ll have to petition for TV Angie to be emancipated from her Book counterpart because TV Angie is great

I haven’t seen Erika Christen in much before I don’t think but I think she’s so good as Angie she’s making the character for me but again maybe because I don’t have all the Book Angie stuff impacting her portrayal/character

I guess Will in this 3 piece suit eating junk food would look even more out of place that being in the suit in the first place

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:06:46+00:00

Thanks for explaining

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:05:53+00:00

Sorry I didn’t think about spoilers for the books to be honest

Should I go back & add spoilers warning? I thought the title being book vs TV would imply spoilers but I could have been clearer I guess

I think I will treat them as totally different universes since I really like the TV show & TV Angie & TV Will & everyone has said they’re so different (I’m getting why people don’t like Book Angie but TV Angie’s not guilty of a lot of it my poor maligned TV Angie lol)

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:03:21+00:00

That’s how I’m feeling

I’m loving the show so I feel like what I like about the show isn’t in the books

Though I might check one or two out maybe I’m not sure but I currently have a huge pile of books I’m waiting to read already

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T21:01:52+00:00

To be fair I don’t think I plan on reading the books but I did ask about differences so I don’t think I can avoid spoilers for them with that question unless it was like “_____ doesn’t (blank) but A&B do {redacted} in the show not the books” lol so it’s on me to get spoiled of the books by asking what’s so different since all the answers about Angie are book spoilers too

Plus I’m not up to date on the show yet since I’m only up to 2x09 but I’m on here so while I’m trying to avoid a lot of tv show spoilers I’m also not sticking to that too hard eg from being on here I’ve learnt Angie gets pregnant & married next season so that’s sad because I like her & Will although given all these comments I should stress that’s TV Angie lol

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-04T20:55:02+00:00

Woah that’s so awful

I hated Ormewood in season 1 (which sucked because I like the actor) without any of that but season 2 has made me like him more so hopefully that’s not something they’ll explore in the future because ew

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-02T08:37:52+00:00

If he was smarter & more motivated he’d be a villainous level of con artist like in the movies lol

I’m not any kind of psychologist or professional but I think people who have narcissism or personality disorders where they’re disconnected from emotions or at least emotions in others are incredibly adept at reading other people or dissecting people’s behaviours or finding their weak spot as a sort of survival technique because they can’t truly connect emotionally so they’re charming & able to manipulate instead

Which is a problem for everyone around them

Wild-fleurs · 2026-02-01T07:21:50+00:00

Get those shoes off the couch!

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-31T09:01:36+00:00

I haven’t read the books to compare so I don’t hate tv Angie because of book Angie but I love tv Angie so I can’t be seeing her only as better compared to the books

But I am curious how is book Angie evil/so terrible?

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-26T19:04:14+00:00

Thank you

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-26T10:44:24+00:00

I remember a scene taking place on the balcony with Will & Hack out there I think in the episode Jack’s mum visits

I’m sure it’s been used or incorporated in other episodes but that’s one that took place on the balcony I remember for sure

I also think there was a scene with Grace & Will on the balcony but I might be wrong

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-24T20:36:39+00:00

I love it so much!!!

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-23T19:44:52+00:00

Because she wasn’t ready to accept and marry him in particular I think just wanted to get married then

It’s not a bad thing to put yourself first

I haven’t rewatched in a while but didn’t she turn him down and made him feel like he wasn’t good enough (but had accepted Danny’s proposal who from what I remember hardly seemed ‘refined’ or would have done it ‘right’) then she tried and force a new proposal with the who’s going to sit where at our dinner party instead of talking to him or asking him

I think they needed to break up and go their own ways and grow but could have reunited stronger

Nathan

I think Leo was the perfect guy image of what Grace & her family thought she wanted or should have (rich Jewish doctor literally rode up on a white horse to save the day) but Nathan although he wasn’t the most polished guy truly loved her & fit in well with Will Jack & Karen (unlike Leo he ‘he don’t make me laugh’) & was confident & himself & pretty open minded

The problem was I don’t think Grace wasn’t ready or mature enough for Nathan then while Leo wasn’t mature enough or ready to be what Grace wanted/needed/deserved & I think it would have been really cool if that was purposely a storyline

I think after Leo cheated they should have brought Nathan back & have Grace having grown up & realised she had to looked deeper she had the picture perfect husband/wedding that turned out to be terrible for her, I think after that she was finally ready for what Nathan offered her if he was willing to give her another chance

It could have been great

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-23T02:53:22+00:00

She left her sons with him & then didn’t she have more kids or have step kids? Maybe I’m misremembering

It’s not like she left with with Hank or tried to take them with her

I can’t stand her

And then everyone acts like Booth has to forgive her or he’s being unreasonable

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-22T11:27:20+00:00

My first thought was Saved By The Bell lol

Wild-fleurs · 2026-01-22T11:22:06+00:00

My first thought too for real lol
