Kristine has posted a great new interview with Melina. You can read it
here!
I loved the interview. If you haven't read it yet, this is your warning that I'm gonna talk about it.
I understood what she was saying about "All Access," but I still think it was a horrible episode. It's very true that people who are great at their job can have screwed up personal lives, but the way this is shown on TV is almost always cliched. Add to that the "domestic violence can be sexy" vibe that I got off of AA, and I see it as the worst NY episode. The message of Stella "still being in control and overpowering [him]" was buried, IMO.
I el-oh-el'd at this comment about Stella and Lindsay: "I'm your boss, but I'm [also] your girlfriend and I care about you." It's been, what, a season and a half since "Silent Night" aired? I still haven't seen anything that has convinced me that Stella and Lindsay are anything other than co-workers.
A second el-oh-el moment was this comment about Drew as the 333 stalker: "I think it went down pretty well the way they wrote it, and I don't think anybody thought it would be him." There were a hell of a lot of people here who, if they didn't peg him as the 333 stalker right away, at least saw him as suspicious in some respect and wanted Stella to steer clear of him.
Even though Melina's take on these things didn't change my opinion of them, it was really fascinating to read how she sees different episodes, moments and relationships.
I loved her comments on the Stella/Mac and Stella/Flack dynamics and giggled when she mentioned Flack's ties. And Gary's practical joke? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Kudos on another great interview, Kristine.
