"Forever Eden: Message board/summaries?"

Given that this show could be around for a good long time -- given that we're dealing with FOX, as much as ten weeks -- is there any chance of it getting a message board of its own? And if so, should the summarizers start lining up for what might potentially be the longest fill list in reality TV history?

Yes, I did just volunteer -- but for the first episode. I've never gotten to see the launch of a soap opera before. Maybe if I'm actually in place when all the characters, central plotlines, and failed suspensions of disbelief are introduced, I can figure out what the appeal is.

Hi Estee, ya, I was thinking of using the Paradise Hotel forum, but the more I thought about it, that didn't make sense, so I just aded a new forum.

Re: summaries, if folks are interested, that'd be great, I'll mark you down for Ep1 and post another new message for the episode after that (this whole "never-ending" think is gonna be wierd.)

Thanks,
SB

Even though 'Paradise Hotel' and 'not making sense' go together so well.

So -- here we are in the new FE forum. I still give it ten weeks...

Yay! I get to launch a brand-new series! On FOX!

(pauses)
(reconsiders)

Err... Yay? I get to suffer a minimum of once with an option to leave afterwards?

Oh, well. I officially accept Episode One in the name of self-torture. Thankee.

Agreed. As a group, I suspect we're (hypothetically) used to definitive beginnings and endings. Air X number of episodes, cue resolution, dissolve cast, wait for next season. The concept of 'continuing story' is going to take a little getting used to.

I'll do a summary.
I want episode 4,612.



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

TeamJoisey: scheduled to summarize the episode airing April 3rd, 2063.

So that leaves us with a minimum of 4,610 to go. Next?

Oh, wait. I'm busy that night. Give me an earlier one.

No problem. How's March 2nd, 2004 for you?

Better yet, how's March 1st?

Yes, I know that one's mine. Work with me here.

(The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to schedule a summary for 2063. 'I can't die yet: I haven't fulfilled my Forever Eden commitment!'

well, if Estee and Joisey are in, I guess I'll take one too. Just point me in the right direction.

I mean, putting up with 3 episodes shouldn't kill me, right? Right?!?

Kill? No. Mentally scar for a lifetime? Quite possibly.

Given the fact that I used to love tearing P-Ho to shreds (on Fox's forum), I volunteer to do the same here to Eden.

But not Episode 1, please, that's the same night as the conclusion to Average Joe 2.

Hmmm one sleazy show ends and another begins on the same night .... who'da thunk ? lol

Ahhhh, the Circle of Life comes to Reality TV! But if Toni shows up on Bachelor or something, I think I'll ride my bike off
the planet -- Like ET.

Could this show actually be on long after some of us pass on to that reality show in the sky? Like All My Children or something? That's a little scary.

must resist signing up...

*waves hand* I"m in.

no, no, it will mean the end of my last remaining brain cells. Smeagol would never hurt nice hobbitses.

Yes, WE will do IT! gollum, gollum

Give me the juiciest possible. I don't know how long I'll watch, and I won't commit past 3 eps., but if I do, I of course will do it often if there's a need (like PHotel). Or at least, I'll do mini-summaries or something.
