'life and death, part 1' (Last week's episode)




'life and death, part 2' (Tonight's episode)

After all these seasons of a realistic portrayal of an American family, I am glad we are finally getting a realistic episode dealing with the issue of . Because you know this is what most look like.

Well, looks like we have 2 cliffhangers...

What's the bad news being given by the men at the door?
Is Lucy pregnant?

Damn, even I wouldn't pick up a hooker that looks like that! (Not that I pick up hookers.)

Looks like two cliffhangers, though I'm more interested in what the men at the door had to say that Lucy being preggers or not.

I just started re-watching the show a few weeks ago, do we know who It seemed to just come out of nowhere.

My speculation on the bad news? I think they killed off Mary.

Spoiler-y, since it involves which actors have and have not signed on to return next season:



More attention than I think the show really deserves, but I'm a sucker for cliffhanger mysteries.

I find this show oddly fascinating. I mean, the creepy oddness of the twins alone is entertaining.

lwhy?

The whole cliffhanger with the police threw me for a loop. I think Lucy is just crazy. Are they trying to resign David Gallaghar(Simon)? Or have they let him go? That would help bring some light into the situation. It would seem funny that they would not try to resign their teenage heart throb unless they are going to kill him off.

Up until I read who is coming back, I though Kevin had been killed. With Lucy pregnant, she'd now have to deal with being a widow and a single mother. It seems that instead of killing off a person they would be written out some other way. Sort of shocking for 7th Heaven.

So if the writers had incorporated part of Tara Lipiniski's life into her character, she would have been an Olympic Medal winning athlete turned hooker?

IMDB.com lists him only being on the show thru 2003, so it looks like he's not coming back. If that is the case, it's rather disappointing the way the wrote him out of the show. But then again, that's the way life goes sometimes, everthing seems fine, then the next moment you learn somebody you loved died.

I don't know if they're still actively going after him, but for quite a while they tried (and failed) to get Gallaghar to sign for another season. The split apparently left some hard feelings, since Brenda Hampton (show creator type) really, really wanted him to stick around.

It's possible they're still trying to sign him for at least guest appearances next season, but he's trying to make a clean break. In that case, they could have multiple different outcomes prepared for the cliffhanger. One if he completely refuses to sign, one if he gives them a couple of episodes, one if he decides to come back for the majority of the season.

It'd make a pretty good bargaining chip--"If you don't give us what we want now, you can never come back!"--but it's all speculation at this point.

Darren Garrison

THANK YOU! I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks the twins seem to be somehow retarded. (Much like all of the writers)

On the subject of the twins, does anybody else notice it seems like when they talk, it looks like it's a voice over? I wonder if we actually hear the twins talk in this series. There are just times it looks like their mouths barely move, yet you can understand each word they say with crystal clarity. Yeah, right, somebody is doing voice overs for them.
