"A Father Dreams"

I'm not sure how many people like Nora, for me, she is a little annoying.
Anyway, I kinda like the scene of Scotty & Nora having a fight, because it looks like a family, I mean Scotty has become a member of Walkers. I don't know if it's good.

Kevin: Aren't you a regular Nancy Drew?

I read Nancy Drew when I was a child!

Scotty: Saul said you talked to Sarah?
Nora: Kevin is with Justin, I don't know where.
Scotty: Oh, is he okay?
Nora: So she said.
Scotty: I'm sorry, are you mad at me?

Wow, as I wrote above, I like this fight. But Scotty is such an actor, he already noticed where Kevin was but never told her.
Actually I didn't like much about Kevin's dream part. I don't know why but something weird, no weird, it's not the proper word I want to describe. Sad? probably sad is more suitable. I can't explain the reason why I feel like that though. But I love the part of Scotty & Kevin talk about their own kids thing. That's definitely beautiful. I hope they will have their own kids in the future.

"Just a Sliver"

The best part of this clip is of course Scotty & Kevin's conversation, definitely.

Kevin: Hopefully I'll just end up with a scar and nothing else.
Scotty: I like scars. I think they're sexy.

I know, they are sexy. Especially when Luke says, it sounds much sexier!

Scotty: You're an attorney …
Kevin: Not if I'm on life support. As my husband, you'd be charged with pulling the plug or not.
Scotty: Okay, this is all starting to get a little ... err ... too ... erm... real.
Kevin: Yeah I might sign that one in the morning. It's a good thing we are married. If it was up to my mother, she'd never pull the plug and I'd be a vegetable for all eternity.

This is the sweetest conversation ever!!! Both of them are caring each other, I would like to have such incredible partner.

Scotty: I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm scared.
Kevin: I know. Come here.

It's one of the best scene, I assume.

Over There (2005)

"Pvt. Frank ‘Dim’ Dumphy"

I think this role made Luke famous. This TV-series were aired in 2005, but it was only 13 episodes. It is shame they didn't make more like 2nd Season or extra episodes. Luke is excellent in this one.

"Unfinished Business"

Scotty is always a buffer. This episode obviously shows Nora's personality, she has some lines in other episodes, I don't remember exactly though, as a role of Nora of course, she's controlling, overbearing, and dominating. I think it's true. She needs to release her children.
Anyway when Justin slips something and it almost hits Scotty, Kevin got angry, it's very sweet. And Scotty says "I'm trying to achieve a state of zen." then Nora thanks him for this, he sounds like whisper "I said I'm trying." He is nice most of the time but not always, it brings us a little reality.

Scotty: Because he didn't make a partner.
Kevin: What? No, no I wanna make difference.

It sounds cute, like as a small lover quarrel.

"Going Once... Going Twice"

Wow, Scotty has been promoted to a head chef.

Kevin: Wait! Saturday's "Yay Scotty made it an article" dinner is now "Yay Scotty got promoted" dinner.
Scotty: I told you how much I love your family recently.

Kevin jumps up from his bed when Scotty announced he's gotten a promotion. That's cute!
Then a thing happen in "Yay Scotty got promoted" dinner. In fact, Kevin has a financial "hiccup" and it is seriously reducing of income. Kevin makes only one fourth of previous income. Scotty goes home during the party because of the thing that Kevin has done. After Kevin comes back, they try to fix the problem.

Kevin: I guess I wanted to still prove that I could do that, that I could take care of you, and if I couldn't, then why would you even love me?
Scotty: Kevin, I don't love you because of how much money you make, or because you take care of me. I love you because your heart is bigger than your very annoying brain. And even if you do want to be competitive with me, it wouldn’t make sense, because you’re the reason I am who I am now.

Love it!
And probably the next day, Kevin takes blindfolded Scotty and drives.

Kevin: Did I do good?
Scotty: Very good. I love you.

Fabulous outside kiss!

E! Watch with Kristin

Luke Macfarlane Interview (Part Two)

Writers' Intern Jeff Bibeau continues his interview with Luke Macfarlane...

Jeff: So you went to Juilliard?

Luke: Yeah, it was wonderful. As a guy who came from London, Ontario, I didn't know really anything about the theatre. It was a perfect place for me to go because I could be stripped down, you know… do the whole broken down and built back up thing. I didn't have a lot of ideas of what theatre meant.

Jeff: Do you prefer stage to screen?

Luke: It's an impossible question. But both are very different. It's been, frankly, too long since I went back to stage. So I'm looking forward to hopefully doing something on stage soon.

Jeff: Any possibilities?

Luke: No. I'm locked in. ABC owns me. (Laughs)

Jeff: So are you recognized a lot out and about?

Luke: Um…no, I'm not really recognized to tell you the truth. I had a very nice girl push me in the airport last week (Laughs) But no, I'm actually not recognized that much. I grow my beard out and wear a hat. (Laughs)

Jeff: So any other exciting projects coming up?

Luke: Well, the two other passions in my life are biking and cello. I have a race coming up which I'm looking forward to – a 40 mile mountain bike race. And, uh, I started taking cello again – I played for thirteen years and I gave it up when I went to Julliard – and I just started taking lessons again about 6 months ago. Sometime in the next year, I want to have a recital.

Jeff: Do you prefer the United States to Canada?

Luke: You know, the one thing I say about that is that I love going home and it's a great place. I would never turn in my Canadian passport. But I will say that America feels like a good place to be a young person. There's just so many possibilities and job opportunities and such.

Jeff: Do you get to go home a lot?

Luke: Not as much as I want to. I got to go home for Canadian Thanksgiving, and I go home for Christmas.

Jeff: Nice. And your family is all still there?

Luke: Yeah.

Jeff: Do they get to come down here a lot?

Luke: Yes. My twin sister has visited me, and my older sister and my mother have all come individually. When you live in Los Angeles, people tend to want to visit you, especially during the winter months. (Laughs)

Jeff: Without giving too much away, what can we expect from Scotty this season?

Luke: His career is going to take an upturn, so that's exciting. He'll finally be making money like the rest of the Walkers. (Laughs) And, you know, they're doing a really good job of keeping the relationship between Scotty and Kevin really honest, with little tensions here and there.

Scotty proves his mad culinary skills, it's all about presentation

Jeff: So married life is good?

Luke: Married life is good so far. No roadblocks yet.

Jeff: Scotty's a chef – do you cook?

Luke: No, I love cooking, I love food. But…I'm not a cook. I have fantasies of it one day – in fact, my friend and I have been talking about taking a cooking class. But, no. (laughs)

Jeff: Any other similarities or differences to Scotty?

Luke: We look shockingly similar. (Laughs)

Jeff: Yeah, I noticed that. It's very disarming.

Luke: Of course, when you're on a television show, you're always drawing from your own experiences. I admire Scotty very much, I think he has a lot of tenacity.

Jeff: So you're not as tenacious?

Luke: No, I don't think I am. (Laughs) Scotty's drawn me out a bit, I think.

Jeff: Is there any approach you like to take when you're working on a character?

Luke: It was funny you know, one of my favorite things is doing all the research. When I do a play, I read as much as I can about it. It was funny, when I got this role, I didn't know really to start with the research. Scotty didn't have a job, and I really didn't know anything about him. I remember going to Facebook and going to people's profiles and trying to like steal traits from them. Thinking that I could find Scotty somewhere in the Facebook universe and I could somehow look at a picture of somebody and copy stuff. But there wasn't a lot of research I could really do on Scotty.

Jeff: (Laughs) You can drown in the Facebook universe.

Luke: Exactly, and just go for miles and miles and miles. But, you know, since he's become a chef, I've been reading a lot of cook books. I like to read; I like to research.

Luke was an absolutely pleasure to hang out with and was more than happy to take time out of his day to talk to me, and to the readers – so keep an eye on Scotty this season and Luke in all his future endeavors.

You can catch Luke and that crazy Walker clan every Sunday at 10pm on ABC – but if you're on this blog, you should already know that. This season is going to be awesome – take it from the intern. I'm not on payroll.

Until next time –
