the pretender

[tokyogirl]

does anyone else here watch the pretender? because i absolutely love the show, even though it's all reruns. i was wondering if anyone heard when the next pretender movie was coming on tnt? i know they already had the pretender 2001, but they were supposed to be working on another movie to answer all the questions. if anyone knows anything, please tell me!

 

[tokyogirl]

hey, guess what? i just found out that the new movie is called Pretender: The Island of the Haunted, and is currently scheduled to air on TNT on December 10, 2001 at 8:00 PM. but if you have any other new on the pretender, or if you just want to chat about it please let me know! i love that show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Highlander II]

right now - "Island of the Haunted" is the only new info on the Pretender --

i haven't heard whether or not TNT will make any further movies, however, it looks like they'll be running the series for a while -- just be carefull when watching it on TNT - b/c in the 1st season, they like to skip the episode "Not Even A Mouse" and 'hold' it for the Holidays, even tho it has information pertinent to the episodes that follow it --- story arc stuff ---

 

[tokyogirl]

you noticed that too? by the way, assuming you saw tnt's 1st movie, if mr. parker isn't miss parker's father, who do you think it is? i mean, that would cause some problems if miss parker wasn't a parker. especially considering the fact that they never gave her a first name.

 

[Highlander II]

don't know the answer to that one ---

hadn't really thought about it (and yeah, i've seen all the Pretender stuff so far)


don't really know where they're gonna go w/ all the questions they tossed out in The Pretender: 2001 (which, btw, was a lame name for a movie)

oh - and i hate MTW's hair -- i like the series Jarod hair better -

and, "Island of the Haunted" was supposed to air back in May, but they moved it - twice!

so, now it's december ---

 

[Morrigan]

Oooh, Jarod.... <droooooooooool>

H2 said talk about Magic 8 Balls. Okay... jarod plays with M8B's, and so do I. Heh heh.

Oh yeah, PEZ too.

And I agree, I don't MTW's hair either. Reminiscent of Elvis.

 

[Highlander II]

not even Elvis -- it's just BAD!

PEZ!!! (see list of alien names in sig!)

anyway ---

i LOVE PEZ!
and Rubik's Cubes and Barrell's of Monkeys and... if Jarod had it, i probably do too!! including, but not limited to, a copy of the Kama Sutra, thankyouverymuch!! :naughty:

yes - Jarod had one, see ep "Gigolo Jarod" - of course, he didn't read it!

 

[Morrigan]

heh heh heh, Miss Parker got a copy of his romance novel! I loved that episode.

He was one smooth criminal in that one

 

[Highlander II]

Jarod is a smooth everything!!

i love the ep w/ the tatoos!! (Parole is the title)

half-naked Jarod w/ tatoos!! :naughty:

then he walks into the apt w/ the chic takin' a shower - and he's absolutely stunned!! hehehe !!!!

love Jarod! and MTW does a wonderful job!

 

[tokyogirl]

what is your favorite stunt jarod pulled? i have 2, but they're kind of similar. the first one is where he stays at the ymca and send the phone call that traces all over the world and it turns out the call originated from the room next door. the other one, and probably my all time fav, is where he sends miss parker and lyle to dallas, locks them together in a box car, and then has the box car shipped back to the center!



Sydney: The Center wants him alive.
Miss Parker: Preferably.

Jarod (about Parker): You might want to strip search this one... She could be palming chips.
Miss Parker: Oh... You *******.

Jarod: You`re insane.
Lyle: Psychological diagnosis can be really subjective

Miss Parker, to Broots: Run profiles on all the potential targets within a 500-mile radius of the Centre. Everything this crew might be interested in. And I want everything you can find on this Detective Evans. If he stole a Baby Ruth when he was 6, I want to know how many nuts it had.

Jarod: Any special reason that you're in here half-naked

Miss Parker: (to girls Father in the bank) You listen to me. You think that little girl came down here today for money? There is something here a lot more important to her than cash and I feel real sorry for you if youre too blind to see what that is.
Jarod: Miss Parker reached out to help someone.
Miss Parker: Spare me.

 

[Highlander II]

Jarod stunt ---


shipping MP and Lyle in the box was fun --

i like the one where he sticks them to the floor w/ roach bait and Sam gets pushed onto the bed --he ehehehehe -- his feet weren't really stuck -- that was Sam Ayers doing a great acting job!

 

[Morrigan]

Tokyo, those are hilarious!

As per your question, I was going to say the box car one, too. the whole build-up to them being found was hilarious. Oh, and it was just on the other day! Even better.

 

[tokyogirl]

i have another question, if jarod isn't wanted because he's a pretender, why the heck do they want him? i mean, i know why I want jarod, but why do they want him?


miss parker: you just can't trust a man with a stolen thumb.

 

[Highlander II]

he IS wanted b/c he's a Pretender, however, there's more to it than that. The Centre wants him back b/c of what he knows and what he can do. They want to exploit his genius, just as they did when he was younger, and want him to help 'them' take over -probably the world, but that's pretty melodramatic sounding, but you get the idea ---

The Centre - intriguing as it is -- is a large lab, for lack of a better word. They're kinda trying to build the perfect 'drone' -- i'm not sure if they're trying to build a superior race, but they want Jarod for his Pretender abilities and they want MP for her Inner Sense (which i think was total crap, but that's another discussion altogether), and there are others -- each of the ppl in the Centre (the kids who were stolen from their families or whatever) had/has a special gift and the Centre wants to make sure they are the ones w/ their hands on it.


gonna hafta ask Padders if we can have a mini-forum - this is one multi-faceted discussion ---

 

[summershake]

AHHHH!
They didn't even air the first movie here!!! I've been searching for news but all could find out is that there 'may' be a Pretender movie after the series end...
So does the first movie take place right after the last double episode?
Waaant to seeee it!!! :evil:

 

[tokyogirl]

i know that they want him because of his abilities, i'm refering to what alex said right before he jumped to his possible doom. 'do you have any idea why they've been chasing you for five years? you don't really think it's because you're a "pretender" do you?'


by the way summershake, the movie falls just after the last double episode, but they don't show anything with zoey, jarod's father or his sister. if you have any ???? about what happened in the movie, let me know.

it's called Steven and Craig want to make us ask more questions --

no -- um --- there are probably other things -- and it probably has a lot to do w/ the photograph Raines sent J and MP at the end of the movie ----

summershake - you poor tormented soul! no The Pretender:2001 for you?? that's not good -- but it's not rumor, there really IS a movie -- however, it was made by the production company for the cable channel TNT in the US --- so, i'm not sure what TNT is going to do as far as over-seas markets --- send them letters and emails and such --

www.tnttv.com (i think that's the website -- if you don't get where you wanna go, let me know and i'll fix it!)

Pretender questions -- direct them to the thread and they shall be answered --

i've only watched the movie 2x's b/c it was kinda stupid -- and MTW had bad hair --- but, it's not hard to locate info ----

 

[tokyogirl]

i've seen it a bunch of times, but i agree that his hair sucks. my question is, are they going to bring back the rest of his family in the next movie?

 

[Highlander II]

no - as far as i can tell from the bits of the trailer that i saw online -- it's mostly MP, J, Raines and co -- the usual suspects. so to speak -- tho at a chat Craig and Steve said they were gonna answer some questions ----- they just didn't say which ones ----
