09 - The Other Side of Midnight

[danielle]

This episode was all right...but the preview for the next one is just AARRRRGGGHHH. I wanna slap some doctor. Yes, that's about all I have to say on this. lol. I did see the racecar driver case as being a foreshadowing event. Unfortunately, that turned out to be true. I wish they would have shown more of Charlie and the new psych guy discussing his condition. All was all right until the stupid preview. Must. Slap. The. Stupid. Out. Of. Him. The last 15 seconds plus the preview makes you violent, just saying.

[ZionHarris]

Yeah, I would have liked to see more of Charlie and Dr. Dey...he seemed to make almost nothing out of Charlie telling him he was hallucinating. Maybe Charlie will start having regular sessions with him like he did with Gavin.

Pretty sure this is the first time Charlie has seen a ghost outside of the hospital. I was wondering if that would happen at some point, or if there was something about Hope Zion itself. We never saw ghost-Charlie able to leave the hospital except for his flashbacks during treatment. Perhaps Charlie should get a Bluetooth now

Anybody else think Joel was going to have his own high-speed crash? And agree the previews are aggravating...looks like Joel is indeed being Joel. But Alex kind of confused me when she said 'you're you and I'm me'...I'm not sure who she is and I think she still doesn't know, because she seemed to be getting along pretty well with Joel.

And obvious question...who's the daddy? We know Alex slept with Joel, but did she sleep with Charlie during her recuperation? I said before I would be surprised if they did sleep together due to Alex's condition and her lack of feelings for Charlie. I really don't want to see a whose-baby-is-it battle. But if it is Joel's, can he and Alex make things work, or would Charlie be able/willing to go back with Alex and raise a child with her even if it wasn't his?

[ZionHarris]

And if the baby is Joel's, I can see another heartbreaking/consoling scene between Charlie and Dawn.

Alex tells Charlie (in spirit) she wants to have a baby with him, then dumps him and goes and gets knocked up by Joel. Meanwhile Dawn wants nothing more than to have a baby but can't and so soon after Alex winds up pregnant (I'm assuming) on accident.

I don't know whose baby I want it to be. I just know I want Alex to know who's the father.

Hearing issues...

What does the Lauren Lee Smith character say when she's in the hospital bed? "Why do I always have the worst experiences..." Listened to it 10 times and I can't make out that she said. Charlie replies "You're not alone."

[danielle]

I think she says something along the lines of why is it we go through the worst experiences of our lives when we're alone?

[danielle]

Hubby seems to redeem Joel. Men thinking here and apparently his actions are completely understandable. *eye roll* Yes, I was so pissed I had to vent to the hubby. He said that Joel has been trying so hard that when she blew it off and said it wouldn't work, that he has likely given up. If she's never going to trust him, then what's the point? Agh, men. haha.

I agree, it looked like it was leading up to Joel having an accident, but the previews don't show that.

I really sincerely hope there isn't a baby daddy drama. Please, SH writers...don't go that route. I would suspect it's Joel's since it doesn't seem likely that Charlie and her would have been together during her recovery.

I've no clue what will happen. I wonder if Joel will go to Liberia without her or will man up, even if it is to figure out who the daddy is. I think Charlie would be very supportive of her, regardless of who the father is. He'd jump right in if she needed help and Joel left. I think it'd be his nature to help her. I wonder if they are going to leave things on a cliffhanger for the christmas break.

[ZionHarris]

They made it look like Charlie lived in the apartment with Alex while she was recovering, but again I really don't think they would have slept together during that time.

Various articles did say they would end this four-episode arc in another cliffhanger. I thought this would have made a good one.

That's what I was thinking, just couldn't make it out clearly so was wondering what others heard. Thanks!

I understand that way of thinking. Joel is trying so hard and Alex has blown them off almost as if he will cheat and seek excitement. That's what the driving fast in the car at the end was about, for Joel. It would be very easy to live up to the expectation of you (This is shown to be true of all of us. If teachers think your dumb, then you'll live up to that and get bad grades and vice versa. This has been shown in various different circumstances) rather than say "no", I want her and need her.
I have a feeling that its Joel. I doubt Charlie and Alex slept together whilst she was recuperating.

The quote was "Why do I always end up going through the worst experiences of our lives when we're alone?"

[karinsuezen]

you know what, I totally forgot to watch it last night, I got caught up in a movie and that was that

susan

I think it's on again on Saturday

[priggy]

I think this ep is also foreshadowing Charlie starting to fight for Alex, not pressing her but fighting for her.

[madaboutdanny]

Is Joel physically unable to keep it in his pants?

[whitewalker]

I think Alex is slowly getting back what she left behind. Each time she touches Charlie with her left hand she gets the heart in the sand vision, only each time it gets more detailed and she sees a little more. Even though she eventually gets it back the writers are going to put obstacles in the path of a reunion with Charlie. ie:the pregnancy. I have no doubt that Joel would screw around on Alex though. When Selina kissed him and started to pull away, he started leaning in. You could tell he wanted more, Busted!!!

[ZionHarris]

If the baby is Joel's it would give him yet another chance to man up...if Alex gives it to him. I really don't know what is issue is, maybe like Alex said he is just incapable of settling or committing.

Welcome to the boards whitewalker!
