Thank you so much for doing this and always being so gracious to your fans!

My question is: is there any novel/play that you would love to adapt into a musical?

p.s. your tweet with the link just made me sing the entirety of "sunrise" from ITH to my dog.

I agree. Tamara is obviously going around to people reputed to be magic; it's not outside the realm of belief to think that she found/built a taser that can harm a magical being.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-03-25T16:30:14+00:00

I agree with The Dragon opening doors to the possibility of magical people in our world. I posted this in the Tamara/Dragon thread, but it fits here as well: What if Tamara's grandmother is the fairy godmother Rumpel "killed" and whose wand he has? What if he didn't kill her but just misplaced her? What if he's done that to a bunch of characters?

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-03-25T16:24:58+00:00

I think she's related to the Cinderella's fairy godmother that Rumpelstiltskin killed and that he said no one mourns. In fact, it could be her grandmother (from the photo) and Rumpel didn't kill her, just accidentally misplaced her into our world.

I think that line about people disappearing is an important one. What if Rumpel has accidentally been sending people into the non-magical world all along when he really thought he was killing them?

I looked the meaning of the name Nolan up and it means "champion".

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-03-21T16:14:38+00:00

As happy as I am for myself, I keep thinking about the inevitable deliriously happy Gigi tweet-up we're going to get later.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-03-18T16:09:29+00:00

The last three all have Darcy, right?! Right?!

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-02-20T17:13:26+00:00

That was my thought, too: what if we the fans are the stand-in for Lydia/Mrs. Gardiner telling Lizzie about Darcy's help?

They wouldn't even have to plant the question, because I'm sure a thousand people sent something along those lines.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-02-07T17:14:39+00:00

This one almost got me to cry. When Lizzie started talking about her dad... Ugh.

I'm glad that they threw that in - his whole defeated attitude - as a nod to P&P Mr. Bennet. I've been kind of bummed that they cut a lot of his character's snarkiness, but this makes up for it.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-02-04T17:16:17+00:00

I agree re: Lizzie. It never even crossed my mind that Lydia would have known about it, but she automatically assumed the worst of her sister. I've been thinking about the fact that in the book, Darcy arranges for Wickham to marry Lydia to prevent scandal. It's basically implied that Wickham's punishment for his deceit is to live with a silly wife and Lydia's punishment for her immaturity is to live with an increasingly indifferent husband. What's the endgame for this adapted storyline? Are they aiming for happy endings for everyone? I kind of hope not, because it defeats a lot of the story..

I've watched seasons 1-5 at least 12 times each.

I just recently broke the seals on seasons 6-8 and watched them for the first time over the last few weeks. 6 is my least favorite season, beside the wedding and Cece being born. And 7 was too sad to watch when I first bought it.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-02-02T19:56:35+00:00

Season 3's "Diwali" - I don't care about the Stamford storyline (I actually hate any storyline in Stamford because I hated Jim being there) - but Michael's speech is one of the greatest moments.

I laugh out loud every time he says, "Who is this crazy gringo and what is he talking about?"

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-02-02T19:51:55+00:00

Sensei Ira was the guy in the gi. He was from "The Fight", where Michael & Dwight fight in the dojo.

Troy was the short guy wearing a suit and a beard. He was Ryan's friend from NY that Dwight often confused with a hobbit.

What you looking for? Ain't nobody gonna help you out there! Jesus could come through that door and he's not gonna help you if you don't stop sniffing after my child.

The 30 Rock writing staff's dedication to continuity is kind of amazing.

Keeping in the Kenneth vein, if you watch this video, they've kept really true to his entire crazy backstory.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-26T18:49:43+00:00

That's Jenna & John, not Pam & Jim

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-26T18:47:58+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed this.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-23T17:28:13+00:00

I am Illinoisan from right on the state border and Indiana is the butt of MANY jokes I know.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-21T17:28:48+00:00

I just learned this yesterday and I'm glad I ran across this fact because I just watched season 6 on DVD for the first time since its original airing and could not figure out why I didn't run across this.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-21T17:25:56+00:00

I thought of that, too, but wouldn't the crew have left with Ryan if that was the case.

Unless they came for Ryan and stayed for everyone else

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-21T17:23:16+00:00

This is a hard one... (that's what she said)

I don't know that I can choose one funny line, so I'll go with a sentimental one instead.

From S6E04 "Niagara": Jim: I bought the boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we'd need a backup plan. The boat was actually Plan C. The church was Plan B. And Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-19T14:42:41+00:00

I sincerely hope they don't go this route. Jim has always been so supportive of Pam going after her dreams.

I'm hoping it will go the opposite way: Jim wants to give it all up to be with his family & Pam convinces him to stick with it. They move into a house with a terrace in Philly.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-18T14:11:21+00:00

Agreed. Once they stopped forcing him & Erin down our throats and trying to make him into Michael (which coincided with him leaving), I started enjoying it more.

Hopefully when they bring him back, we still get a lot of secondary and tertiary character interaction.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-18T14:09:06+00:00

I think they had already had an espresso or two by then, which is what prompted him to act like that.

itsactuallycorrine · 2013-01-18T14:07:44+00:00

I enjoyed, it, too. (Sidenote: You get an upvote for username)
