费丽丝蒂 第一季

So, this is what Ben Covington wrote:
“Dear Felicity, here it goes. I’ve watched you for four years. Always wondered what you were like… what was going in on your mind all the time that you were so quiet, just thinking, drawing in your notebook. I should’ve just asked you but I never asked you. So, now, four years later, I don’t even know you. But I admire you. Well, this makes me sound crazy, but I’m okay with that. So take care of yourself. Love, Ben. P.S. I would’ve said ‘keep in touch,’ but, unfortunately, we never were in touch.”
FELICITY; Hey! [Ben turns] What are you going to college?
BEN; New York, what about you?
FELICITY; That’s… pretty unclear.

　　我只看到第二集，但对与FELICITY相似的经历，而心中多了许多酸楚，应为和她也同样一个年龄段，面对自己的未来，继续着自己的计划还是听众父母的选择，很矛盾……但我想我还是最终会选择前者，因为那是我自己的人生。
　　但是，我往往很忽视了父母们的爱，其实，我的一个不经意的言行举止都会伤着他们。毕竟他们也是年近半百的人，渴望的是一份温馨。而不懂事的我总是让他们很伤心……其实，我从一个小细胞变成一个人，是他们赐予了我一切，只是，我觉得我应该学会用适当的方式让他们感受到女儿已经长大了。
　　对父母的爱就像原味奶茶一样，贴心而温暖！

    要怎么说呢，整个剧一开篇，谁能想到呢？一个普普通通的毕业场面，只不过点缀了一撇文艺气息和阳光的色调就整个美腻的让人沉醉。尤其是凯丽的那种感觉，金色卷发就像猫咪那种暖洋洋的感觉。凯丽给人一种特自然，舒缓的感觉，再加上她略微有点散漫的嗓音，整个剧简直只用了几秒钟就抓住了我~

       所以特别喜欢JJ，一直以为他科幻作品最棒，其实这种言情小文更细腻，更抒情。。。。

     随着她的视角，我们看到了Ben，是啊ben，他的样子，再加上那一点隆重而随意坐在草地上写东西的感觉，再听到他写的那些文字，我想爱上ben的那一刻并不只有felicity 了，观众瞬间都了解了她为了ben报考一个大学的冲动了。。。

    felicity的感觉，凯丽演的太真了。。自然就好像是她本来一样的。怯懦，不安，对生活感觉细腻，内心温暖善良，喜欢诗意的传达感情，偶尔鲁莽，却又那么勇敢明媚，浑身散发着青春的晨雾。那么美的一个女孩，那种仿佛一伸手就能触摸到的真实感，只能叹服这个人物从编写到演绎到实在太好了！

留着慢慢写~

看到一篇特别搞笑的神评论。

【警告】这是一篇花痴Ben的文~~~

Team Ben VS Team Noel




~~~~~~~~~~~以下搬运~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Last week, Jenny reviewed a book about a girl who follows a guy to New York City, and most of us immediately thought, "OMG FELICITY!" Which then led me to the shocking realization that there are absolutely zero posts about Felicity on this blog, and that is an effing tragedy, you guys. Hello, it's one of the best YA TV shows ever, not to mention the fact that years later, I still feel like the characters are my real friends. And if you think that's sad, then I probably shouldn't tell you about how I have to go into every Dean & Deluca when I'm in NYC just to see if Javier is working that day. Y'all, I have SUCH a crunch on him.

Speaking of crunches, I had a tough time deciding which facet of the show I wanted to write about today. I could analyze how insanely pretty Keri Russell is (SO PRETTY), or I could talk about the amazing evolution of Meghan as a character. Or perhaps I could tackle the bullshizz of Elena always getting the crappy storylines (I mean, sex with Professor Humperdinck? COME ON). But throughout all of the conversations that have ever occurred about Felicity, there's one question that always arises.

And that question, my friends, is this: Are you Team Ben or Team Noel?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's right, before there was Edward vs Jacob, or Peeta vs Gale, there was Ben vs Noel. And it was a debate that raged fiercely through four years of Felicity's mothercussing indecision.

Today, I'd like to settle that debate once and for all. And yes, I do realize the immensity of my task, which is why I'm employing our usual highly scientific methods of analysis. I'll be comparing Noel and Ben and awarding them points (out of 10) in several pivotal categories, and their total score will provide the definitive answer to this debate.

So grab your lab coats and LET'S DO SOME SCIENCE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

【PERSONALITY】
Noel: 7

Noel exemplifies the finer virtues of sensitivity, and like our other fave sweetheart, Peeta, he even goes through a crazycakes period just so he can become more manly and badass. Deep down, though, he'll always be the nice guy, and while I find that adorable, it's the main reason why Noel will always be stuck in the Friend Zone. He's goofy and compassionate, but neither of those words spell SEXY.

Ben: 8

Ben can be a little aloof, and his impulsive behavior is frustrating as hell. But when you realize that he's overcoming some major family drama (more on that later), his grumpy demeanor becomes insanely charming. Speaking of charm, all the boy has to do is crinkle his eyes and smile, and I swear, a rainbow will shoot out of your chest and end in a pot of swoon. He's also surprisingly thoughtful and caring, and his loyalty knows no bounds. (I mean, have you MET Sean?)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

【LOOKS】
Noel: 7

Just look at those puppy dog eyes! That excellent bone structure! Noel is definitely a handsome dude, and if that's how all of the "nerdy" RAs at NYU look, I totally went to the wrong college.

Ben: 10

The first time I saw Ben on screen, I was like, "Oh yeah, Felicity should DEFINITELY move to New York." And that was before I even knew what he wrote in her yearbook! The boy is FOINE, from his adorable grin to his totes toned swimmer's body. I still can't forgive the University of New York for canceling their swimming program, thereby robbing of us of more scenes featuring Ben in a Speedo. Damn you, fictional college!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~·
【TRAGIC PAST】

Noel: 2

As far as I can remember (and I've seen this series many, many times in its entirety, because I believe in extensive research), the only tragic thing in Noel's past is his misfortune in dating a girl named Hannah who likes to pout her lips and play fugues. Of course, in real life, that turned into an even greater tragedy (Jennifer Garner, how could you?), but let's try to keep fiction and reality separated, ok people? We have an important debate to settle about our two potential boyfriends here!

Ben: 7

Ben's dad (RIP John Ritter) is an alcoholic, and Ben grew up supporting his mother and fighting against the possibility of turning into his father. It's the reason he doesn't always know how to handle his emotions, which not only makes us sympathize with him, it also gives me a great excuse to still be in love with him even when he's an asshole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~·····
【TREATMENT OF FELICITY】
Noel: 8

Aside from the time he drank beet juice and went batshizz insane at the library, Noel treats Felicity with respect and adoration, the latter of which can be a little much at times but still, he's super considerate towards her. He clearly wants the best for her, and he's insanely supportive of her dreams, whether it's helping her study to be a doctor or collaborating with her on Loser Pet Store. Sure, he drops her for Hannah, but that's a typical freshman mistake*, and even after Felicity leaves him hanging at the airport and chooses Ben, Noel eventually forgives her and takes her back as a bestie. Definitely a good guy.

*After publishing this analysis, I was corrected by fellow scholar Kate. Noel was a sophomore when he dumped Felicity, and therefore, he can't use freshman ignorance as an excuse. Consequently, he loses one point.

Ben: 4

We have now reached the Ben Handicap. Dude is TERRIBLE at being a boyfriend, or even a friend to Felicity. He's flaky and scared of his feelings, and he has major commitment issues. He'd sooner have an affair with a scary married catering lady (major cougs) or run off to the Hamptons with a spoiled rich girl (HATECHOO AVERY) than stay in a relationship with Felicity for more than a few months. The only reason he doesn't have a zero in this category is because, well, what goes around comes around. I mean, if some girl stalked you all the way to New York and then, like, looked at yr confidential college file and then re-wrote yr paper for a class and almost got you expelled, you'd be rushing to give her a restraining order, not a hug. Just sayin'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
【ROMANTIC GESTURES】

Noel: 4

It's almost unfair to judge Noel in this category because being a clueless, awkward guy is part of his charm. And awkward guys are usually too busy being self-conscious to pull off anything romantic, although occasionally, they get lucky (hey-o!). Such is the case with Noel and his use of Boggle as foreplay. I gotta give the man some points for that.

Ben: 10

The silver lining to Ben being such a dick to Felicity is that he gets to make it up to her in super swoony, dramatic fashion. I mean, buying her the necklace was nice, but asking her to go on the road trip with him, out of nowhere? MEGA SIGH. And then there's the pice de résistance: presenting her with the film reels of the movie he missed in Bryant Park while earnestly begging her to give him another chance. Watching this scene always results in the strange physical phenomenon of my eyes filling up with tears while my lady parts fill up with lust. Ben, WHAT MAGIC YOU WEAVE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
【JE NE SAIS QUOI】
Noel: 6

In order to account for every remaining variable, I felt it necessary to include this final category. Noel definitely has something special glimmering behind those amber eyes, and I would have ZERO problem breaking the "no RA/student relationships" rule with him.

Ben: A MILLION

I realize that number may seem ridiculous to you, but trust me, I'm a scientist. And Ben has earned every single one of those points. He just has that something... that swagger, that smile, the magnetism of thousands of high school crush objects rolled into one devastatingly hot, charismatic package. Without careful study of the show, it's easy to miss. Just ask my boyfriend, who thinks it's lame that I like "that dude from Underworld." Haters gonna hate, but I always understood why Felicity never got over Ben. It'd be like giving up Chimay for O'Doul's. It's just plain wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


【【【【【CONCLUSION】】】】

Let us total up the points, shall we?

Noel: 34

Ben: 1,000,039

You can't argue with those numbers, folks, because numbers DON'T LIE. Noel put up a good fight, but we have a clear victor in this debate, and that champion is Ben Covington.

BOOM! CHECK THAT SCIENCE!

Now that I've solved a mystery that's been baffling scholars for years, how about we celebrate with one of my favorite Ben scenes ever?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

然后底下是视频放送。。。Ben&Felicity --first kiss

    这部剧的声音文件在我的mp3里躺了一年多，可以说，我经常在听。
    但一直很好奇，因为自己是在putclub的论坛上down下来的，可以想象出，当时的喜悦，看到众多英文原声资料的的兴奋，手指只是不停的点击download，名字内容也没有一一去对应。放到mp3里仔细聆听是在过后，却一时云里雾里，没有详细的标题，只有一个单“felicity”，i must say：i am confused。

听上去似乎是一个女生给另一个女生“Sally”的信，另一个音频文件是一个男孩的对那个女孩子说的话，最后女孩说："think about college is great it is，there’s something cruel
about it.Yeah,i mean you dont know anyone when you get
there.And all the sudden, you found yourself making connections and making friends and dating people，there's something incredible about it like anything is possible,and you go through years of that,and you get used to it.But the thing is,it's not real,because graduation comes,and whatever you've been walking towards,or whatever your plans are,just pulls you away, and if you're having,you know, a difficult time with the friends of yours, and he leaves,you dont have college any more to rely on to keep you together..."s
   虽然当时的我，没有看过电视，压根不知道这是一部电视剧，只是以为可能是npr的happy moment 节目，写一封信给你爱的人，这类似的节目。背景音乐很好，让我总是感觉沉浸在阳光中，不过确实第一次听到的时候是在4月的阳光里，坐在温暖的车厢中，周围人形形色色，我却沉浸在这段独白中，让我不仅感概我三年的大学生活。
   可我一直不去深究，这是怎样的一段记忆，让说话的人有如此感慨。知道今天早晨，蜷缩在被窝里的我，再次打开这段音频，听着柔和的女生，心里突然好奇，“felicity”到底是什么，字面上是happiness，但这几个音频的来源是什么。
   科技时代，我搜索下，终于知道，是一部清淡的美剧，到豆瓣上一看，喜欢她的人也关注“gilmore girl”，我想差不多了，我应该喜欢的。更何况这样看来的，应该叫felicity的这个女生，我已经很熟悉她的声音了。

  felicity的声音可以说已经十分熟悉，清脆，细腻的英语发音让我很惊讶，所以才会以为电视的音频会是广播里的节目，可以说真的没有什么嘈杂的，或许是我幸运，下载的几段声音里碰巧都是felicity的独白。终于看到了电视剧，很喜欢她，和我想像的差不多，原先幻想的是像natalie portman 一样的女孩，这样看来，女主角keri Russell也确实和她很像哈~~~
  更巧的是，当时看August Rush 时，非常欣赏那个拉大提琴的母亲，气质好的不行，再配上电影完美的配乐，这个女星很是吸引我。但当时不知道为什么看了后也没去深究，可能是当时的我没有这么刨根问底吧~~
  现在看来，一切都是巧合了，这是让我沉下心来看。剧情我先不大评价，只是看了半集，不过总是觉得felicity，我已经认识很久了，她微笑的脸庞，蓬松的头发，宽松的针织衫，也许这就是很多美剧，即使不再上档，还让我们记忆犹新，牵挂的原因。
