I watched the very end of that ep. last night on WE. I only caught about 10 minutes but it was sooo good!

But seriously, when did Felicity get so secure and sure of herself? There's just this transformation from season 1 to season 2 with the way she walks, talks, presents herself, everything. I mean, I guess that's the beauty of college but it just happened so fast. In my experience, it took a few years to accomplish what Felicity accomplished in one. Does anyone else feel like this?

Of course, she acts plenty spazzy in season 2, so maybe I'm reading too much into it. What do you women think?

blubirde - I can't really relate to the whole college aspect of it, because I didn't go away to a four year school, but I defintely noticed the change in her too. But I do think that happens as you get older and you are on your own longer. It kind of made sense that in season 1 she was very unsure and insecure..she was on her own and thousands of miles away from her parents for the first time in her life. she followed a guy to NY, which was something totally off the wall for her, and she gets there and he basically ignores her. I think she was just trying to figure out who she was. And she met Noel, and Elena, Julie, etc and realized there was more to life than Ben. By season two she realized she didn't have to settle for what Ben wanted..it was just her maturing. I can defintely relate to that. I think when you move out of your parents and you're on your own, you defintely gain confidence and grow up a lot, so I can see the transition.

Weren't you the one who said you haven't seen much of seasons 2 & 3 and none of season 4? You defintely need to either watch WE or buy the DVD's you won't regret it."

Yeah I just would find it hard to figure out how they could really keep it going much more than 4 years since it was based on her being in college. Maybe if she would have stayed in Medical school or taken a 5th year to graduate.

I saw season 1&2 but not much of 3&4. I'm still waiting on the price to come down some or until after I start my new job in Aug to get those 2. I'm just going to start with season 1 and go in order for now. I've been doing that with Friends and Will and Grace. 7th Heaven is next on my list to start watching in order. I'm hooked on that show too.

What does WE stand for? Women's Entertainment? If so I don't think I get that channel on my cable right now

They took Felicity off because the ratings were bad. Apparently, not enough people watched it, but I find that hard to believe!

WE does stand for Women's Entertainment. What cable package do you have? Not sure if maybe you have to have premium channels...

We were talking earlier on this thread about what was in Meghan's box, and that episode where Felicity and her friends are in the box is on WE tonight.

The other episode on WE tonight is the one where Ben asks Felicity to run away w/him and drop out of college - do you guys remember that one? He's on the basketball court and they start naming the places they could go?! awww.

Hahaha!! I loved that episode, too. There was such great comedy to this show, but it also had so much heart. That's what made it so great.

This thread has made me pull out season one and watch it today.

That makes me feel so good - i inspired people to break out there Felicity dvds - LOL. I'm glad to hear it.

I have another time travel question. If that was really supposed to have happened, then wouldn't Noel have been dead in the finale?? And he wasn't. I'm so confused by that whole plotline.

No, in the very last episode, Felicity went and saw that guy who casts spells, that's where she put together that tree of old memories, pictures, things that were important to her, and they saved Noel - that was the whole point of it. She went back so that Noel wouldn't die. does that make sense now?

I think I just need to watch Season 4 again. I'm forgetting things. Yesterday when I was watching season 1, I realized how much I had forgotten from that season, too. It's just been a while, I guess.

I hear ya...when you watch it brings everything back. I still haven't even had money to buy the 4th season on DVD, but that's my plan for my next paycheck. Defintely watch those last few time travel episodes and you'll remember. Felicity went back to the past because Ben cheated on her...she wished she never got back w/Ben, so she went back to see what it would like to be w/Noel...and it just didn't work out, then Noel got caught in that dorm fire while she was w/Ben and she felt so guility. So she went to that guy Meghan had always told her about that cast spells, he wrote a book. She she decided to have him do his back to the future spell so she could save Noel.

You know what I loved, too about the show? The theme song! Not the first theme song, but the one that started in the second (maybe 3rd??) season (Version of You or something like that). I loved that song!!

OMG I loved that theme song too - and you're right, it started in Season 3. I sang it every week when the show came on and now I still sing it when I watch the dvd's. I'm acutally such a nerd that before they put it on the soundtrack, I downloaded it from the internet!

I saw the two eps on WE last night. (I had the day off from work so I got to see them finally!) I hate that doctor guy. He was always shady to me.

Wasn't it sweet when Ben and Noel were playing bball and Ben said to not let go of something if you're not sure because it sucks afterwards? That was soooo sweet.

And that dance scene where they were all dancing in Elana's apartment? So much fun. Reminded me of my own college days.

Speaking of Felicity websites, this is also a good one to check out: http://www.felicitypage.com/home.html

I'm at home right now watching Felicity on WE - it's the episode where Javier tells Ben he has to tell Felicity how he really feels about her - he goes on that date w/that girl who asks for his # and in the middle of making out he tells her he can't because he's thinking about Felicity...awwwwww

blubirde · Chanel

I started re-watching all the Felicitys this weekend. I'll confess I only had enough time to make it to the second episode but this thread had me itching to watch a few.

Come to think of it, if I were Ben and Felicity stalked me all the way to NYC, I'd freak out a little, too. Maybe that's why we all kinda love Felicty - because she's weird and goofy, just like we are. Okay, I'll speak for myself. Just like I am.
