I like the series and found really interesting his struggle between trying to be the best in what he did while it pained him that it cost him the success in the other areas of his life. Or is it maybe that I'm a med student and took him very seriously...<br /><br />OML :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-37975850360613998242010-08-29T22:50:13.480-05:002010-08-29T22:50:13.480-05:00Can I join your red-head club?

With people traveling and living all over the world, the gene pool is actually resulting in more people moving out of isolated communities and sharing genes more. As a result, the red-head gene is dying out! <br /><br />So you red-heads really are a unique bunch :)Twinkling Moonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-65324439822469141662010-08-28T12:23:51.795-05:002010-08-28T12:23:51.795-05:00Well, Nat says that I am allowed to come to the &#...Well, Nat says that I am allowed to come to the 'redhead club' because I am bringing the warm chocolate fudge cake with toffee sauce, so there you go!! ha ha<br /><br />I agree with 'anon' that perhaps RA might have developed Dr Alec if the series had been allowed to progress.<br />@pi however...Dr T did have a lovely bedisde manner :DMyrtlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-71680123011241520472010-08-28T08:57:44.093-05:002010-08-28T08:57:44.093-05:00Lucky red heads!

The "Red Head Mystique" (otherwise known as "I has to have one before I die") is very much alive and well.<br /><br />Golden Hour was was a good idea, a medical mystery that worked it's way backward from the accident to reveal what happened, but they did use the flashbacks too much, showing information they had already shown the audience several times. And it pains me to say this, but Alec Track is the least developed character in the script and Armitage did not do much to change that. Track is very much the "Heroic Doctor" (TM) and not much else beside being in a relationship that is clearly doomed with no clue as to why he even likes this character. I mean, he does a great job playing a doctor *very* convincingly. I remember one of the review said he playing one of the most convincing doctors ever seen on TV, but he really did not push Alex to be more of a three dimensional engaging character outside the medical part of the character. (Though over only 4 shows he did not have much of a chance)<br /><br />Someday I would like to ask him someday if what he did *not* do with Alec led into what he *did* do with Guy (which was the the role he played after Golden Hour), being very proactive and putting more personality into the character than what was presented on the page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-19404459627092995682010-08-28T01:14:42.547-05:002010-08-28T01:14:42.547-05:00@Maria, thanks for posting the GH at your site. I&...@Maria, thanks for posting the GH at your site. I've already seen 2 epis from there, but must see the rest<br /><br />I wonder why the show didn't do well. I thought it was pretty good. I found it interesting to see how the ER operates differently than ours in the US<br /><br />Regarding blondes vs. redheads, well, I'm neither, LOL! Interesting undercover report was done though, comparing blondes to brunettes by 20/20, Dateline or something like that, where they had a blonde woman running up to a door to get into a building and found that if the woman was blonde and not a brunette, more men stopped to open the door to help her or apologized to her for bumping into her. But if the woman was a brunette, than fewere men would stop to help but interestingly more women would help her! Yet, no where in the study were red heads mentioned, poor guys :(<br /><br />@Nat, you're right. That video game playing shot does catch my attention too. I never think of RA doing "regular" stuff. <br /><br />And yes, I do wonder how on earth the Russians get all of these behind-the-scenes shots, when RA doesn't film in Russia? Maybe they have their own Sugarhorse/Tiresias network, LOL!Twinkling Moonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-34725414482836919222010-08-27T21:57:59.220-05:002010-08-27T21:57:59.220-05:00@RAFrenzy,

What a history!<br /><br />I remember in the Spooks Series 7 DVD extras when each actor was trying to explain Sugarhorse, he asked to go back and redo it so he didn't look like an idiot. Awwwwww.<br /><br />@ Myrtle,<br />It's clear that that sudden growth spurt was rather traumatic. Who would have thought it? And yet he is not stoop shouldered to compensate. A lot of feeling can be mined from those experiences, I imagine. <br /><br />@ Nat<br />I will join any redheads club! But the fact is (since I've been there) blondes do have more fun (that is, get more attention, especially, IMO, from Brits!). Silly men. :) One day their consciousness will evolve to point that they will Understand the Ultimate Truth of The Red.

You ought to read one of the favorite interviews. I would have said 'my' favorite, but I think most of us who have read it, love it. Just Google 'Me, a sex god?' by Allison Pearson. Or just Google his name as I think that article has now made it to the first page of most Google searches on him. <br /><br />I would have put the code in this comment, so you could just click, but Blogger now has more security bells and whistles and probably won't let me.<br /><br />Speaking of which, Nat.
