My Choice for Emmy Reel Submission

Posted by Sywriter on 4/19/2012, 11:12 am

I've been going through my David DVR's because we have to return our Comcast box, making a move to another state. And I found what would be my Emmy reel choice for VI for 2011. It's the Sept. eppy when he's in jail and Angie gives him hope he can be a new man in the first half and Cara tells him she's pg in the second. The entire eppy is so subtle, so real, so poignant. When Angie tells David he won't be sorry if he lets her in and a lone tear trickles down his cheek � so moving, a pearl of a scene. And to see his eyes light up when Cara visits him, see him restrain himself and keep it light when she says it's to say goodbye--so heartbreaking. And to see him take in her being pg--so so full of hope and potential joy--an amazing and transformative moment for David.

This would be my choice of an eppy, showing Vincent's range and subtlety, his ability to change mood and emotion with the blink of an eye and sweep you into the moment.

Ah, the memories!

Those were wonderful scenes! I agree some of David's best!

You're moving? I don't envy you one bit! LOL

"Those were wonderful scenes! I agree some of David's best!"

They were so gratifying to watch with each woman, seeing his metamorphosis from grim and hopeless to hope and incipient joy. It was wonderful to see.

"You're moving? I don't envy you one bit! LOL "

The move itself is exciting--to the Hudson River Valley in NY. We'll be close to our daughter there, in NYC. But the "process" of moving � awful! LOL

I know exactly what you mean. Last time we moved I was very happy to be moving out of CA.But the actual moving process wasn't fun at all. Congratulations on being able to be closer to your daughter!

Thank you. I guess it's a good kind of stress. LOL

IA with your choice for Vincent's Emmy real; a great David day! Will you have room for your dogs to roam in such a rural paradise?

No dogs, just a small black indoor cat. LOL But we will roam and explore it all. Very excited.

What struck me most about that day was the exquisite TLC given to David by LB, and how Vincent handled it. Such subtlety and nuance in showing David grow and change and almost glow from within. I watched it very closely, since I know it was a goodbye watch, and two moments define the show for me, one for each woman. The lone tear for Angie, showing how much it meant to David to have her offer her friendship and beg him to open up to her and show himself. The other the hint of joy and light when Cara told him about the baby. Going from swallowing his disappointment she was saying goodbye and behaving so gallantly to the renewed sense of hope for himself and his future with this remarkable woman and their child. LB gave David something to live for, something special. It was lovely to see and made watching very gratifying. We are so lucky we got LB to write his ending!
