Review: "Improv" Maaaate, that opening. I was dying. Hahaha. Screw shipping Michael and Paula, I want to marry that woman myself. Haha. "One, two. A one, two, skidley-doo?" Brilliant. This had a really strong opening, and I think with Paula being a fan favourite, leading in with her was a really great idea. As for Michael, I just love his interactions with Paula. He has that distrust, and that sense of dislike still weighing over their scenes, but the scenerios and the dialogue really shifts that into different interpretations, and I really enjoyed it - to have Michael find Paula in the opening, with a bat, was just classic, and that comment where he says "I wish I was with them" and she replies with "Ruuuude" were my two favourite things of the episode. I'm with Chris on this, I ship these guys. M I C H A E L / P A U L A
• F O R • E N D G A M E • Moving on, I really enjoyed the plot this time around. I don't know why I say that, I've loved every freakin' episode so far, but lets just go with it. JUST GO WITH IT, BRADY! Anyway, I love that we got to see more of who Alisha is - that line about her always needing to rehearse... it said a lot about her character, and I like that it became a conflict for her in a lesson about improv. I would have liked to see the teacher sort of suggest things, try to help her, or perhaps thats something we'll see later down the track. Either way, it did its job - you managed to show a side of one of your characters that could be viewed as a flaw, and it gives Alisha her own personal sort of dilema - she needs to learn how to improv. Props on Angela's improv - that was my favourite. Jordan is just insane. Hahaha. He's really getting on my nerves - he's a prick of a boyfriend, a real royal douche, and I honestly feel that Angela could branch out and become much stronger without his demanding, assholish presence in her life. But, Jack loves a good redemption story, and thats what I'm looking forward to for Jordan. It may be a looooong time before redemption comes, or the idea is planted in his head for him to change - there might be a backstory about abusive parents or figures in his life that have shaped who he is and how he acts... there's just so many paths to go down for him, and Angela as well, that make me really glad they're on the show. I'm really enjoying the Alex/Alisha friendship. I like how supportive Alex is, and how great a friend he was to Alisha. I think what I share most with Alex is that I can be impatient too - in terms of scriptwriting, I'm just like: "Ugh. I don't wanna go to school for four years - I wanna start writing now!" Hahaha. So I like that there's a character trying to reach their dreams who has to get that ability of really working for it and proving himself. And I hope we get to have an episode soon that looks at his flaws - we've touched on his impatient tendencies, so perhaps more of that in the future? I don't know. I'm just loving what you're doing so far, and this was a really stand out episode. To wrap up? You know I love the show. I seriously enjoy sitting down and reading it. Your characters are all fun to read and get invested in, and this was definitely one of my favourite episodes. Another 10/10 obviously. Looking forward to more episodes, and some nice Paula/Michael moments. Because, come on - they're awesome! XD

First off, thank you so much for the review, Jack! I love all the feedback you guys give me! ;D Review: "Improv" Maaaate, that opening. I was dying. Hahaha. Screw shipping Michael and Paula, I want to marry that woman myself. Haha. "One, two. A one, two, skidley-doo?" Brilliant. This had a really strong opening, and I think with Paula being a fan favourite, leading in with her was a really great idea. As for Michael, I just love his interactions with Paula. He has that distrust, and that sense of dislike still weighing over their scenes, but the scenerios and the dialogue really shifts that into different interpretations, and I really enjoyed it - to have Michael find Paula in the opening, with a bat, was just classic, and that comment where he says "I wish I was with them" and she replies with "Ruuuude" were my two favourite things of the episode. I'm with Chris on this, I ship these guys. HAHAHA! I'm ecstatic that you enjoyed the opening. XD And, if I can hopefully get another sequence, somewhat might fight you for Paula. XD Whether it be Michael or a new character all together. I love writing episodes where Paula is in the opening scene. She'll open the next one, which hopefully you guys will enjoy as well. I'm so glad that Michael and Paula's dialogue were highlights for you. That's always so awesome to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed the plot of this episodes... and the other ones. -goes with it- Moooooving on... I can kinda relate to Alisha, besides the whole gender thing, because I literally HATE improv SO MUCH. So, it was kinda easy for me to write her part of the episode. I love flawed characters, I don't know why, I just do. XD And that makes Alisha so much fun to write for. So, yeah, glad you liked it!! HAHA! You liked her improv? Great! XD I'm glad you hate Jordan. I want you to! I want to make him come across as very prick-ish, and for a backstory, that will totally be delved into if I can get Sequence two. It would answer all the questions you are having..hopefully. I don't know, haven't planned that far yet. XD Jordan...redemption? ...maybe. XD It's still up in the air for me. I have two paths to take Jordan down, and I just need to choose one of them. HAHAHA. Alex is very supportive of Alisha, and vice versa. And Alex's flaws will kinda be dealed with next episode. His impatience is a big part of his character, and it basically makes him who he is. Alisha is shy and nervous, and Alex is impatient and stubborn, which is what he gets from Michael. XD Goodness, you love so much of this show, it makes me super excited. Jack, will you please hate one of these episodes so I can have some pressure lifted off me? XD I'm kidding. I hope you love everything else that comes out of 'Audition.' I'm glad you're loving the characters, episodes, and, especially, Paula/Michael moments. You'll totally get more of all three. XD |

Thanks, David! I'm glad you're liking the episodes! And when 'Auditon' returns, it'll just be Arc 2 of Sequence 1, it'll just follow a slightly different storyline, which will set up Sequence 2, which I'll hopefully be able to get.

I'm back and ready to review, It feels like I'd been in Greece forever, anyway onto the reviews.. 1x04 "The Sing Off"So this was a fun episode, well until the ending when it got a bit darker, which i wasn't expecting. Pairing up Alisha and Angela was a genius idea and i really liked reading that. I laughed a few times at Alex during this episode, and the "representation of One Direction" line was so funny xD and when Alex was saying to Justin "i think we nailed it" it gave me a chuckle, if only i could of heard the terrible singing from Alex haha. The sing off between Alisha and Angela itself i feel could have been shorted but i feel like if i were to watch the scene on TV it would be a different story, i think it just felt long because i had to read it rather than watch it. The ending came as quite a surprise to me, but a great twist/story line, I agree with chris, it really gives Angela's character depth and Jordan's too. I cant wait to see more from these too even though they are pain's in the ass. 10/101x05 "Improv"This episode felt shorter than the rest but i really liked it. Paula was hilarious, i honestly couldn't stop laughing when Micheal says to her why is she banging pans when its only 5am. I though she was sneaking in to make them breakfast and the next minute she starts banging pans over her head hahaha. Even the car scene was funny, I NEED more Paula in my life! I liked the class in this episode when get to see Alex at his best and Alisha struggling, kind of the opposite from the last episode, except Alisha seems to be having a harder time. I really felt sorry for her in this episode, I just want her to build her confidence, and i hope LA teen talent helps her do that. 10/101x06 "Commercial Success"What a way to end Arc one. This episode was really enjoyable. We get to see Alex's stubbornness comeback, which this time isn't fair on Alisha, but then again i do agree that Alisha should learn to do things on her own, because shes not always going to have Alex there with her, but i think that's a confidence thing that she needs to work on. At the end where he shows up at the house, shows that he's growing as a person, to be honest he was being a bit of a brat, commercials aren't a bad thing, a lot of actors/celebs start out in them, but i'm glad he finally caved in and went, you could see it meant alot to Alisha. I have to applaud you on your great writing for Paula, i always have a smile on my face when reading her scenes, shes so funny and i enjoy her and Micheal's chemistry, even though Micheal likes to think there is none. I find it funny that he finds her really annoying it will make it bitter sweet WHEN they get together, yes Brady, not if, when! Make it happen haha. 10/10Great job on these 3 episodes and i look forward to October 5th  |

Thank you sooo much for the reviews, Jay! I hope you had a real great time in Greece! And I'm really happy you were able to read the rest of this Arc! 1x04 "The Sing Off"So this was a fun episode, well until the ending when it got a bit darker, which i wasn't expecting. Pairing up Alisha and Angela was a genius idea and i really liked reading that. I laughed a few times at Alex during this episode, and the "representation of One Direction" line was so funny xD and when Alex was saying to Justin "i think we nailed it" it gave me a chuckle, if only i could of heard the terrible singing from Alex haha. The sing off between Alisha and Angela itself i feel could have been shorted but i feel like if i were to watch the scene on TV it would be a different story, i think it just felt long because i had to read it rather than watch it. The ending came as quite a surprise to me, but a great twist/story line, I agree with chris, it really gives Angela's character depth and Jordan's too. I cant wait to see more from these too even though they are pain's in the ass. 10/10 I really didn't want the fans to expect the relationship behind Jordan and Angela, and how they act behind closed doors. I'm really excited to dive into their relationship, which I'll hopefully be able to do! Glad you liked Alisha and Angela being paired together. I thought it would've been a real interesting thing to write, and I'm glad people are liking it. Super thrilled you laughed at Alex! XD I really wanted to show his routine, but I really had to focus on Alisha and Angela for this episode. Jordan's would've been cool to show, but I don't have that many pages! XD I'm glad the "One Direction" joke has made some people laugh. Always great to hear! I can see how some people say that the singing aspect did drag on. Reading is totally different than actually watching something, and, if I bring singing back into the show, I will totally try and not to drag it on. Glad you were shocked at the ending. It was totally something I wanted to showcase, because it won't be heavily focused on in this Sequence, we'll only see little snips of it. Really glad you liked the character depth that was shown. Always a nice plus! XD This episode was definitely a struggle to write, and I kinda rushed to end it. I don't know, I just couldn't figure out how to write it, and when I did, I wanted to move on to something else. Maybe that's why it felt shorter? Nontheless, I'm ecstatic you enjoyed it! Everyone seems to be loving the opening scene, which has, honestly, been one of my favorite scenes to write, if not the favorite. Michael and Paula moments seem to be fan favorites. There will totally be more with them, hilarious or series, you'll have to wait and see. XD Yeah, this was kinda a "reverse" episode, if you will. Alisha shined last episode; it was Alex's turn. And I'm always happy when people care for these characters, so you feeling bad for her makes me suuuuuper excited. XD And her confidence will gradually build. It won't be right away, probably not even by the end of this Sequence, but it will have grown tremendously. Alex's stubborn-ness is a huge part of his character, one of his flaws. He gets it from his father, who've we learned can be just as stubborn. And, unfortunately, Alisha had to suffer the consequences for it this time, which helped her see that he won't always be there. It all goes back to the confidence she must work on, just like you said. XD I wanted Alex to show up at the end, to show that, yes, he is gradually growing, just as Alisha is. He has his stubbornness; she has her self-confidence. I wanted to also show that he will do anything for Alisha, even if it means doing something he thinks will get them nowhere. And the talk he had with Michael really pushed the decision he made, even if it was a "no" at first. Everyone is loving Paula! XD I love it! And the whole Paula/Michael ship makes me laugh. I'm not making any promises, because someone is leaving at the end of this Sequence, whether it be Paula or Michael. Am I having too much fun with this? Yes. Yes, I am. XD I'm soooo glad you liked all these episode, Jay! And I really hope you like Arc Two. It's going to be a blast to write! XD |

Wow. I am extremely disappointed, Brady... because you totally didn't give me notice that there was a new episode of Auditions. Heh, did I scare you? I was going to spoiler tag that, but it seemed too mean. I'll counter this horribleness with a review of "Commercial Success."
What a way to end the first arc. This episode had a very evident beginning, middle, and end (which actually surprised me, but I'll get to that). The main source of conflict for this episode was found in Alex- I love that he's so passionate about becoming an actor, and has this huge vision of being in movies and possibly even on the small screen that a commercial just wasn't in his dream world, and it actually upset him when Paula landed him and Alisha an ad. You know, you've introduced and established these two main characters so well in these first six episodes that I can understand them so well in decisions and reactions like this. Alex is impatient, but passionate, and you really surprised me in the end when he showed up because I accepted his decision, and I was prepared for the next arc to really focus on a sort of strain in the Alex/Alisha relationship, or at least, show this bridge between them. Then, all of a sudden, he appeared by Alisha's side to support her, even if it wasn't a part of his dream. I loved that.
As for Alisha, that was a huge decision on her part to tackle this opportunity by herself. You could tell how difficult it was for her- what if she had done it alone and the commercial led her into huge roles, while her best friend missed out and lost his chance? Imagine the impact of that on their relationship - it was a really tough decision for her to make. While I am glad that they shared that beautiful moment at the end, I can't help but see story in challenging their friendship more in these sort of ways. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that, because they're such a great duo, but on the other hand, testing them more and more now that Alisha has worked up the courage that she can do this alone if need be... its really exciting. I'm looking forward to where the next arc takes these characters, and the show.
Of course, Paula was a highlight for me again, but the episode focused a great amount of attention on Alex and Alisha. I have to admit, I was really happy that Paula landed them this job. You know, she's unprofessional- its completely true that she's not the best agent when it comes to how she tackles her tasks, but then again... she has the heart for it. The passion. She cares about the people she's working for, and I think, in the end, that's what's most important. Starting her with such love and devotion to Alex and Alisha means that, say she developed all these professional elements and skills that come with that job, she would literally become THE best agent ever. I'm interested in seeing a lot more of her in future arcs and episodes, and I think she's a great addition to the cast.
As for Michael, I think he's probably the weakest character. Not in a bad way, of me trying to say you haven't developed him or given him enough to work with, but in that he's a lot harder to sort of understand and figure out because he seems so boxed up with walls. I'd love to see some of those walls broken down. I think he's role as a father has been established profoundly, and I loved the moment he shared with Alex, where he knew exactly what Alex was going through because of how well he knows his own kid. For him, I'd love to see him branch out- maybe see him tackle a relationship *coughPaulacough* or just something that allows us to see more of him, outside of his fatherly role.
All in all, a perfect way to end arc one, and a great episode! 10/10. Have to say, Audition is one of my favourite shows to read. I just love it so much. Sorry for the late review, I totally lost track of everything VPN with school, but I am officially ready for arc two!
Thanks for an awesome show on theVPN, Brady! I looooove it!

Wow. I am extremely disappointed, Brady... because you totally didn't give me notice that there was a new episode of Auditions. Heh, did I scare you? I was going to spoiler tag that, but it seemed too mean. I'll counter this horribleness with a review of "Commercial Success."First, YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME WITH THAT FIRST LINE. There, now that that's out of the way, I just wanted to say thanks for reviewing, Jack! I always love your reviews for this show, and, as always, they're greatly appreciated. Super stoked you liked the end of this Arc. After visiting Alisha's weak side, I really wanted to sort of go back to Alex's -- he's mega impatient. I also wanted to show how that would effect everyone around him, especially his Alisha. I loved how you said he was impatient but passionate! That fits Alex so well! It's his major flaw, and I love showing the all these characters' flaws, because nobody is perfect, and I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible. Yay for flaws! XD Glad you liked the ending!! I was going for a "OMG. SHE'S GOING TO DO IT ALONE." and then we he shows up, "OMG ALEX!! YAY!" So, it's great people are glad, and accepting, of the decision he made. He mainly did it for Alisha, who made him realize that a commercial isn't all bad. And Arc 2 will strain their friendship, so to speak. It actually plays a major role. Stay tuned! XD I wanted Alisha to branch off, and step away from "the girl who is always by Alex," because he character is totally growing, and I have a big plan for her, once she actually grows confident. Well, she'll probably never be as confident as Alex, but still. XD And the "what-if" will actually be brought up next Arc. YOU STEALIN' MY NOTES, JACK MALONE? Anyways, like I said above, their friendship will be tested once again, and it's going to be HUGE, if I do say so myself. XD HAHAHAHA!! Paula is always the highlight for you! XD Anyways, I'm glad you liked it that Paula actually landed them a role. I was afraid people were going to say it was rushed, but I'm glad it all paid off. WOOT. And Paula just loves everybody, really. XD Her energy really brights up the room, and she can't really control it, which should give some funny scenes next arc. Hopefully. I don't know, I don't find myself that funny. And will Paula ever become THE best agent ever? Hopefully before she ends leaving... Oh, I'm terrible. XD Totally get what you mean by Michael. I actually love his sternness. And he's very... fatherly? That a word? Sure. I'm pretty sure Michael will becomes... unboxed? That a word, too? GO WITH IT. Anyways, yeah, that will more than likely next Sequence, hopefully. And writing the scene between Alex and Michael was such a fun moment for me. I love their relationship and how their personalities are similar, but yet completely different. XD And there's an episode, next Arc, that really dives into Alisha and Michael's relationship, which was a ton of fun to write. More than half of the episode is them talking. It's nuts! XD  Maaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyybbbbeeeeeeeeeeee Anyways, thank you again so much for the review, Jack! I'm glad you're enjoying the show so much, because all of the feedback really makes it worth while to write for it. And all then 10/10s are making me NERVOUS. SO THANKS FOR THAT. Totally kidding... I'm not kidding, Jack, you're making me sooo nervous. XD Kidding!... |

Okay, I know I'm kinda late on this, but I just read the first episode and wow. So, well here we go. Audition| 1x01- We Have Arrived| ReviewFirst off, the opening scene is amazing. You jump quickly into the story and explain lots whilst still making it seem natural so congrats on that. And straight away you get the personalities of Alex and Michael. Hehehe Alex is so impatient. Alisha also seems like a nice character and she's really sweet. Gosh, I think I might already have a favourite character within 5 pages. I don't know if you intended it to but even though I knew little about it, the mention of Alex's mum's death and the reactions made me choke up a little. So well done on that (or then again, I could just be a wuss but the first option is more likely). Haha, again with Alex's impatience later on, gosh that boy needs to wait a little. And that end was stunning, I love Paula's awkwardness and she seems really great. The end with Alex and Paula acting crazy with Michael and Alisha just following behind slowly came off pretty funny. Overall I can't fault this. Great writing style and flow. Great characters. Great pilot. 10/10 ;D |

RESPONSE: Conner J.J.'s Review of 1.01 "We Have Arrived"
Thanks for the read and review, Conner! It shocked me to get a review of the pilot, but I'm always happy to hear from new people, and I'm glad you enjoyed it a whole lot, and I hope I've made you a fan! XD
I'm glad you enjoyed the opening scene. I remember wondering how to start the episode, series as well, off, and I just started writing a few tests, and I ultimately picked this one! XD I'm glad everything came off natural for you, because that's always what I'm going for. And Alex is very impatient, which will play a huuuuuuuge role in later episodes. XD
Alisha is very confined to her shell, which, ultimately, makes her come off as a sweet and nice character. Not to say that she isn't, because she is, but I think that's why she's like that. And I'm glad she's your favorite so far! Yes, it was intended to add emotional depth to Michael's character by the speaking of his deceased wife. I tried to show his emotional side, because he is such a boxed up, and stern character, that there always needs to be that little hint of actual human-ness. XD
Hahaha! Alex is soo impatient, I often find myself frustrated with writing him. XD And Paula's introduction was a highlight for me to write, because I love her character so much, and it seems everybody does as well. XD The ending was also fun to write, because it basically set up the premise of the show, and getting complimented on any scene is always great to here!
Thanks a lot for the read, Conner! I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the episodes! They were a lot of fun to write!! ;D

REVIEW: 1.06 | "Commercial Success" Okay, I'm back to reviewing "Audition." Sorry it's been a while. School has been kicking my arse lately. But, here's my review for the latest episode. I love how these episodes are beginning with Paula. She's still my favorite part of the show, not much has changed there. Her charm and quirkiness is soo original, and unique. I don't think I'll ever find a character quite like Paula, and that's one of the reasons why I love her so much. I love it how this time, he's being woken up, because it's usually her waking everyone up at 6 am. Haha! Her getting a taste of her own medicine, but she's just so naturally exciting, it doesn't seem to affect her much. Love her energy. It just does something to the tone of a scene. Oh my god! I love Michael's reaction to seeing Paula through the peephole! "Ugh." HAHA! Cracked me up. Also, I loved Michael's line, "Please don’t play the dumb card, Alex, you got it from me..." That goes with my theory that he's playing the dumb card, trying to hide his LOVE for Paula! lol... no? Okay...  *cries* I really liked Alisha's attitude about Alex not wanting to do the commercial with her. I mean, yes she was scared and disappointed, but at least she knew that she had to think about herself, and not let anyone else stand in between what she wants to do. So, I liked that she said she needed to learn how to act on her own, and not rely on Alex all the time, because he's not going to be there forever, I'm sure. But still, at the commercial shoot, when Alex shows up, I just started BEAMING for some reason. He really cares about Alisha, and it was great to see that he wasn't being selfish, and even though he didn't want to do the commercial, he went ahead and tagged along for Alisha. I'm really loving their relationship! xD There was one little issue with the Dominic Sutherland character though, and if you know already, or someone has pointed it out already, I'm sorry. HAHA! I was going through the episode going, "OH MY GOD!! Are they seriously talking to Donald Sutherland and they don't know who he is? Or is this just some guy named Donald Sutherland." lol There was a bit of a name change from Dominic to Donald. Just a slight mix up, but it didn't detract from the story at all. Overall, a really nice episode! Yet again! Damn Brady, I haven't disliked an episode yet. You're good! XD HAHA!!

RESPONSE: Chris Davis' Review of 1.06 "Commercial Success"
Yay! I love reading your reviews for 'Audition'! They're always so great! Don't worry about how long it took to review it, I should be one to know the horrific time school takes. Like, IT'S INSANE. XD Aaaaanyways...
I'm pretty sure Paula starts in all the episodes from now on... And it's just because you all love her so much. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. Anyways, when an episode starts out with her, people seem to enjoy it, so I'm not going to change anything... At all. XD HAHAHA! She's the one being woken up. Never really thought of that. But now that you said something, I LOVE THAT I DID THAT. XD And Paula will always have energy, like, always and forever.
HAHAHA! Everyone, especially YOU CHRIS, seem to love Paula/Michael moments. XD Even if they're not getting along. And I love writing for them. I love their bickering all the time. XD Nice theory! It might be true.... Possibly... Maybe... -grins-
I'm trying to get Alisha to come out of her shell, and her journey to doing so is been really fun for me. I love playing with her emotions (I know, I'm a little messed up in the head) and coming up with her reactions to them. And this one in particular was a lot of fun for me, because she does need to learn to do things without Alex, whether they part ways or not. XD
I also wanted to show that Alex will do anything for Alisha, because she means so much to him. And even if that means doing something he doesn't want to do, if it makes her happy, he'll probably do it, and vice versa. Glad you like their relationship! It's tons of fun to write!
OH. MY. GOD. Did I seriously do that?! -dies- No, it was supposed to be Dominic. XD There would have been a COMPLETELY different reaction if it was Donald. XD I think I wrote that because I was high on Hunger Games for some reason. XD I have no idea. XD
So glad you loved all the episodes, Chris! And I hope you enjoy the next Arc! Tons more Paula, and less Donald Sutherland. Promise! XD

Okay guys, so with 'Audition' returning tomorrow, I wanted to do something to thank you guys for sticking with the show, and leaving all the reviews that you're able to. So, I was thinking of an interview, but I need some questions. So, if it isn't too much trouble, leave as many questions as you want below, or send them to me via PM, and I will answer them in an interview, which will be posted tomorrow. And please ask questions, because if you don't, omg I'm going to look like a loser posting this with no replies. XD
EDIT: I will answer questions as best as I can. It just all depends on the amount of spoilers in the answer. XD

Here are some queeeeestions!
What are the main "acting" challenges that face Alex and Alisha in this upcoming arc?
Is there more to expect between Jordan and Angela- and will Jordan's abusive behaviour be touched upon, and maybe become public in the near future?
When are Michael and Paula gonna get together, already! Haha jks. But serious question: is there much to expect between them in this next arc?
I'm not sure if I'm meant to be asking questions for future episodes...
Who is your favourite character to write for?
Have you thought about doing any holiday themed episodes, incorporated into the "acting" aspect? Like Halloween, for example.
Will we learn more about Alex's mother, and perhaps have flashbacks or moments that establish that character more, and that relationship between Alex and his mother, and Michael and his wife?
How was that? I hope my questions don't suck balls.

REVIEW: 1.07 | Jealousy
What a GREAT way to start off the next arc. I love that we are thrown right back into the story. After Alex and Alisha's commercial is released, and naturally, we get to see their top competition's (at least that's what they like to call themselves) reaction to the whole thing. So, pretty solid premise, and it went to some interesting places throughout the episode.
I beginning to think that there's no hope for Jordan. Maybe there's still some for Angela, because it looks like she's just been in a bad situation and relationship that she can't seem to get out of. But Jordan is a first class jack ass, and man... I wish this were an action or horror show, because he would so be guaranteed a brutal, bloody death by now. The jerks always get it the worst. But, hopefully there is some level of torture you can put him through before the sequence is over. haha!
But now, we have met James; Angela and Jordan's agent, and we've figured out why the pair is always so hostile. Look at what they have got to deal with on a regular basis. Jesus Christ, I'd be piss-y too. LMFAO! I'm really looking forward to the Paula vs. James dynamic, and I totally think that Michael is going to be the one that puts James in his place, hopefully he'll be Team Paula by then, and just want to stand up for her; maybe not because he loves her, but because she's been helping his son, and he won't let some douche bag do her wrong. Only he can do that. AWW... How cute. You should TOTALLY DO IT! But aaahh, I'm rambling now. Sorry about that.
Anyway, GREAT episode!! Can't wait for the next one. LOOVE this show so much, and OH MY GOD... I'm just now noticing that the theme for the show is Echoes. I love that show. Love Misfits! And that fact makes this show THAT much more brilliant! XD I also noticed that I haven't been giving this show any ratings at the end of my reviews!! They've all pretty much been top score episodes, but it's always nice to see.
10/10! Great way to start arc two! Keep it up!

RESPONSE: Chris Davis' Review of 1.07 "Jealousy"First off, thank you sooo much for the review, Chris! Sorry it took a little while for me to reply, but I just found the time to sit down and do it. XD So off of that... What a GREAT way to start off the next arc. I love that we are thrown right back into the story. After Alex and Alisha's commercial is released, and naturally, we get to see their top competition's (at least that's what they like to call themselves) reaction to the whole thing. So, pretty solid premise, and it went to some interesting places throughout the episode. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I didn't want to have too much of a time gap between the Arcs, but I didn't want them to within, like, thirty minutes from each other. XD And of course we had to see how Jordan and Angela reacted, because they're always going to be there to try to bring down Alex and Alisha. Yay for compliments! XD Oh, Jordan. Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan... XD I really can't wait to play his story out; Angela's as well. I've got something big planned for both of them, which may or may not involve as much torture as you can put in a dramady. HAHAHA! Oh yes, James. He's a fun one to write for. He's, like, extra hostile. XD He's one of the main reasons to why Jordan and Angela are so awful, but trust me, it's not the main one. XD We won't see James around until the second-to-last episode, but he and Paula will meet again. And Michael is still on the fence when it comes to Paula, so you'll just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully it won't disappoint. XD YAY! I'm so glad you're enjoying this show a whole lot, because it's' so much fun to write. I hope you enjoy the rest! And Echoes. Omg. I LOVE THAT SONG. And Misfits. Omg. YES! XD And it's fine if you don't leave ratings, because I just love reading you guys' reviews! Thanks, Chris!!

QUESTION: An idea has recently been brought up, and I was just wondering... Would you guys like to see a Halloween Special and/or a Christmas Flashback episode(s)? The Halloween Special would be like any other episode, except with a strong Halloween theme; and the Christmas Flashback would feature a Berretta Christmas, and would mark the debut of Michael's wife and Alex's mother. So, what do you guys think? Leave your thoughts below! |

I would LOOVE to see a Christmas flashback episode, especially if you would get to introduce Alex's mother. I think seeing her and how she fit into the family we've grown to love without her, will really put some clarity around some of these characters, and how they operate today, especially Michael's character. So, yes. I'm all for that idea! XD
Also, a Halloween episode would be fun. They're always fun. haha!
