Is the picture of the final script cover in the original post in this thread a photo of the real script? Is it possible to see that script or is it just a photo of the cover?

It's so interesting that so many here wanted Joe to have someone more "bubbly" or like his more usual girls to finally get him to the altar.

I thought Bonnie Bedelia was perfect. If anything, the whole episode showed more how he is not Little Joe anymore but finally mature, and she was not shallow ...

WOW what an incredible week. You certainly did put in a lot of effort. Very worthwhile for the rest of us, too.

Every story that I have written about Joe has him suffering in one way or another--one even has him going through withdrawal for a laudanum addiction.


Ooo, sounds delicious! What's the title of the story, Adamant?

"A Sound Mind." I felt a little guilty for how much he suffered--but it all goes ...

But he didn't write all of that suffering Joe stuff so we can't put all that to his "issues" right?


Right! The show itself had plenty of it, but it was scripted by a variety of writers, and done long before Mike ever made his first attempt at writing. And the fanfic writers just keep that theme ...

I am the same way. I like to see my favourite character's in pain. For some reason. Its fun to write about and how they cope with it. (as some have said on here already.) (no attraction on a girl's, or my, part.)
Would you rather read a fan fic, or watch something, that was PERFECT all the time ...

Okay so I guess Psych 101 wouldn't cut it when it comes to understanding Mike. Probably need a whole degree or two.

well I don't know. He suffered a lot as pa in Little House, too.

Rather makes me wish I'd paid more attention in Psych 101. :laughing

I don't disagree. I think the vulnerable Little Joe thing is a big part of his appeal (besides being so gorgeous, that is), that he tries so hard to be a big bad cowboy and he's still almost kind of a little boy or something like ...
