Here it is that first morning after second part goodbye. it is tuesday.8 am
.last night I bade farewell to Oliver, Walter and Gina. lovely, subtle, gentle, quiet, inspiring, refreshing, hopeful. some characters will stay, others are okay to be set free. Paul has come through a watershed year. I think Season Two may be even better than season one. i thought of all my frineds here online..looked forward to this morning and all the things i will read. So far this morning i have been on for over an hour..reading reading..jumping around..how else does everyone navigate..do they go to many threads or just a few
I will not be hanging around really..I have to start marching into the big long wait for a possible season 3...and that wait could be a year. what is everyone else going to do? I look forward to the antics and surprises of Entourage. thank you HBO for such fine entertainment. Unforgettable.
We are approaching that sad line of distinction...THE END..season finale tomorrow..how did this go so fast? How do I feel about it? watching last weeks episodes twice to glean anything i might have missed. Feel same feelings about Mia (pathetic, indulgent)..feel surprise and alarm at paul for infantile unconscious explosion with gina..but was tickled pink by his "lifecoach" advise he would give to Mia...( grow your hair, move to napa valley etc) ahahahahah! Exactly PAUL!
Clearly see the denouement of series as a dovetail in hopelessness (?) or "rudderless-neess" will not feel disappointed. This is how life really is sometimes...vague ambivalent, unresolved...
I think these patients have moved the scale inside themselves, despite protests to the contrary..and I think Paul is a good therapist despite his myopia bout his own childish behavior.
I also believe there is nothing wrong with him wanting to change careers..perhaps he has come through a catharsis himself and he cannot stop the forward progression of his new self. I will ill miss you all...and despite the seeming aloneness here..I was always with this group psychically and was happy to be a part of the most appreciative of audiences. Thank you HBO for superior entertainment.
Up way too early thinking about Obama. last nights press conference was impressive. i wake up just wanting him to get some down time. go and lie down with Michelle and have the girls come in and the whole family just chills in bed. i care about him. what a human being.
Thank you John for replying to my blog. At last another human being acknowledges that i am here. perhaps i just do not have enough time on these forum worlds but the whole thing feels really lonely and isolated. it felt like that last year too. i really love this show and think of everyone when logging on here and sharing and then...its just me and noone.
i feel like everyone talks to everyone else but me.
last night was my least favorite episode with Paul. he mentioned that Mia was someone who he could have something with, the kind of woman who just might work for him Not that he has feelings Just that she represents his 'type" "She's really smart"
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGG
No My therapist has more noble compass orientation than this he is above this he is not a petulant little boy
Imagine the surprise of having IT show up at 7pm instead of 9!!!? That is the delight i was handed last night..I have my Tv set to autorecord and auto tune for all new episodes and all of a sudden there it was!
here is your dinner served in bed! haha
Now i am up early to scan the thread headings..noticing the new ones sprouting like rosebuds..I have something to cut and paste here..discussing a subject close to home I cannot share this show with husband at all..he knows I adore it but he will hear nothing about it. he shuts me down immediatly..likens it to me having to hear construction talk/details..at the end of his day.
That is one fraction of the difficulties I have with "The two men" which are/is my husband. i am very lonely here...the illumination of his inner landscape is untrustworthy and miragelike. i am very lonely here. here is paragragh on FOI in marriage:
Fear of intimacy is different than fear of commitment. You can be married and not know your partner emotionally, intellectually, or spiritually. In fact, loneliness in marriage is more difficult than being lonely as a single person or widow. Marital loneliness springs from fear of intimacy in one or both partners."
We are taking the journey. A Rapt audience, wheels spinning breath held. Inside on level five We know we are witnessing a Magic It feels like a journey A ribbon which must unfurl no matter how outside the borders of the Box Dear Doctor Your folly and your composure are equally magnificent Your story infuriates and stuns me Your character is admirable and is knee deep in his own muck Still he chooses to guide the canoe through this creepy river Trusting the earth the geography to resolve itself in balance.
On the road of my life I find lilacs and lemons I have also found grapefruit On this road of abundance.
I have a life of cornucopia it is organic as well as technological for the overflowing happiness coming through my computer is the same as the trees plants and flowers all around me. it is all good It is all genuine It is overflowing it is life in 2009
I have love for fans of a TV show They are electronic beings i have love for characters in a fictional TV universe i have gratitude for all of this around me this podcast This webinar This egg breakfast This Vineyard budding
I can only speak in verse If i speak at all i am changing into the person I want to be.
You have served me a plate so full..sumptuous..overflowing
there is first THE BIG STEAK ( filet Mignon?0
YES!!
then a garden fresh baked potato with garden chives and sour cream
And do not forget fresh greens, tossed with handmade vinaigrette. this is your dinner plate from HBO and you have 1.5hrs to enjoy it and your invited to dinner next Sunday and Monday as well.
we are honored to have you at our table. but then again
(ssssh,,,,YOU WANTED THIS IN YOUR LIFE,,,RIGHT?!!!)
See? my point exactly. i have been online finding everyhting I could on HBO and elswhere and here it is 930 am. i am besotted and rabid and simply over the top and this will not work. i am going to stop right now and do gardening and normal pursuits and let this go. i have found what i wanted. It isn,t going anywhere.
the interview with gabriel byrne was so thick, lenghty and riviting i actually saved the file. ARRWWW
Basically? this is exemplary art from HBO involving talented and well trained people and its that good and i am one of many who are now salivating wrecks!
The new me is calm and composed and takes her time. The new me knows this online style is a matter of choice and that I can redesign it at will. I am able to stop and reflect in succinct perfection. I am changing and growing into exactly what I want.
I do want to love this show and digest it and be stimulated by it. i willingly give it power to seduce me and sometimes send me off have cocked...BUT I do have a choice in how I interact here on my own or with others who join the discussion. I am keenlyinterested in what the professionals say. this is simply a soap opera with teeth and I admit HBO has me in its thrall.
April showed traits that reminded me of me....eeeek. Mia was a sad and vengeful young 20 year/...still! That collaboration should have been nipped in the bud..conflict of interest et al.
i do not like paul with haircut...makes him seem rogueishly youngish..adolescentish etc. i felt we saw the character of paul in as many facets as the light could shine...it was really pauls showcase. another thing..it is annoying trying to figure out what thread has the most juice..or what to say on this blog vs who to ask to be friends. How much time do you think I will be online &^%$# around with this? i want a few choice spots and then enough already.
I want my own Paul Weston. Really I do. I adore Psychology and Psychiatry and am willing and able to go there. Lets talk!
i awoke this morning and while ruminating the day ahead over coffee and a glorious dawn....I suddenly landed on the joy that it was April 5th YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this season I have to wait until 930 pm..hm do not like that but whatever
I say goodbye to showtimes Tara series tonight as well. I am a complete sucker to premium ( expensive) TV programming.
i will be thinking of all of you as I glean every last nuance from said first episode. i like paul so much..as a therapist..that will be lovely. its sunday..what are all your programming schedules? Drop me a note guys!
Oh man i am already salivating over the season 2 details below...and from, the depths of my being came the memory of Sophie..flooding in..so much feeling for a fictional character...I really liked her..does anyone know what happened to the actress? also so pleased that Alex;s dad will be making a return appearance..his spot in season one was unforgetable!
this is very exciting for me personally..forgive the gush factor..will be toning it down hahahah
From an HBO description of the show:
?In the second season of ?In Treatment,? the newly divorced Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne) has relocated to Brooklyn and now runs his therapy practice out of the living room of his brownstone. Among his new patients are Mia (Hope Davis), an attorney and former patient who has become his patient again after Paul asks her law firm to defend him in a lawsuit; Oliver (Aaron Shaw), an 11-year-old who manifests the stress of his parents? (Russell Hornsby, Sherri Saum) divorce by over-eating; Walter (John Mahoney), a CEO who, when confronted by professional scandal and personal loss, finds his life-long defenses are no longer holding; and April (Alison Pill), a 23-year-old architecture student who has been diagnosed with cancer but is refusing to seek treatment or tell her parents. Each Friday, Paul takes the train to Maryland to resume his own therapy sessions with Dr. Gina Toll (Dianne Wiest).?
Hello all my friendly and dedicated In Treatment watchers!! I am writing in absolute glee after just learning the start dates for season 2. Oh Yeah! Talk about another reason to live and have hope.HA
Our life has gotten considerably better here...we moved in Feb to a very large house on an organic vineyard. twice the square footage in space.and the same rental price as we were paying in Los Alamos .and it is so beautiful where we live that I walk around in a stupor. As husband says: " I do not think the Wow factor is going to subside anytime in the future at all" i would like to attach a picture for ya..cuz we are so gaga over our good fortune.
i missed everybody from the HBO forum and the blogs and it has been a long year since we interacted. i am thrilled to be back. Write me!
Wistful. empty. Unmoored now from tangible, moving, unusual little snatches of early evening.
Every day..a private depth and a smoke on the front porch after thinking quietly to myself this is first class TV...i wonder what everyone thinks
Inside feeling swirls of liquid emotion special sensitivity Gabriel byrne lead us forth ! into universal pain and neurosis and control and watch us all become fanatics for a super soap delivered in a silver dish
there is nothing there now who knows how long it will be But it will never feel like this first season did and we will all remember as we march into new futures
