"i guess what it comes down to is maybe you really do only get one shot, maybe that’s the only unreasonable beauty of things." ~ nick
"the unreasonable beauty of things?" ~ hannah

"yes?" ~ hannah
"we all fall in love sometimes, you know." ~ nick
without even knowing the connection this show had to one of my all-time favourite movies, beautiful girls, i checked it out after reading a small review of it in entertainment weekly, mid-season of last year. a writer returns home after ten years to re-discover and face the reality of the family, friends and love of his life he left behind. how could i resist a premise like that?
there is more to it than just nick and hannah (the writer and the lost love), though. this show has rich characters, smalltown quirkiness that i love (filmed in the downtown area of the city i live in), and a soundtrack that is full of songs i had almost forgotten about loving.
eddie and janet are probably my favourite characters, and romance, on the show -- but i do love nick, hannah and sam, too. this show stole my heart in the way that my so-called life and gilmore girls did; they all three had me before the pilot even ended.
