United States of Tara

[p!tu]

Ah okay, just don't give away too much, I want to see it for myself.

gotcha! i wont say anything else!!! let me know when you watch it!!

 

[The ill Jedi]

Okay, so I finally saw what you were talking about P, that was messed up!! I think there may be another Alter in the mix that hasn't fully surfaced yet. So far this show has no weaknesses of any kind, solid all around!!

I think it's more likely that it's the sister that defaced the painting rather than any of the alters.

And it's kind of refreshing - just as when the show started all the family members just take it that Tara has alters. And now they show that the son is either out to his parents or they just assume he's gay. No big angst-ridden show about him wrestling with his sexuality - it's just part of the character dynamics.

I think the whole show is refreshing. And I think you're right about it being Tara's sister, Dave.

Here's an extended scene from the Showtime site.

I thought that at first. But Tara said that she had the only other key.

Another clue that there might be another alter lurking is when Alice was praying at the end of the episode. She was asking to bless everyone in the family, even Buck and T then she started to say, "God Bless..." hesitated, sighed and shook her head. So who could the person that she left out be?

That's an interesting idea. Maybe there is an alter her family doesn't know about and the other alters are keeping secret for some reason.

why would they go and add another alter at this point in a new show...........i mean come on, they would have to change all the promo material and rework posters, signs, and all physical & electronic forms of advertisement. that would cost big bucks for an upgrade of that magnitude and just dont follow that logic at all............






























..............j/k !!!!..............i think ill may be right.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Yeah, I would think that a new alter would be a good way to end the first series with a cliffhanger. But I still think it's the sister.

 

[p!tu]

WHy would the sister do it though? She would have ^^^^ed her self and her sis out of a job.

probably a catty jealous reaction because tara was getting a lot of attention from her sister's boss & the end result was more than she expected.

And they were all really drunk.

 

[Batty]

And her sister isn't exactly raking in the bucks selling that vitamin crap.


Oh, and I like the term "gentleman's time", btw.

My favorite line this week came courtesy of Kate, when they were discussing the play that Marshall is trying out for and the guy that he likes she says, "I can't wait to dance at your Ass Pirate wedding".

'Tara' renewed for a second season!

'United States of Tara' renewed for second season

02:34 PM PT, Feb 10 2009 - Showtime has renewed "United States of Tara" for a second season, an announcement that comes after just four episodes have aired.

"Tara" stars Toni Collette as a wife and mother with multiple personalities, including a frisky teenage girl, a gruff middle-aged man and a perky, perfect housewife. Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody devloped the series and executive produces alongside Steven Speilberg.

Production on the second season's 12 episodes will begin this summer for air in early 2010.

Network programming president Robert Greenblatt said the show is "a perfect fit for our premium brand, and we're thrilled that critics and audiences have responded to this groundbreaking show so well."

To date, "Tara" has drawn big ratings for the cable network, premiering well above the network's average (though just how well was up for some debate).

John Corbett and Rosemarie DeWitt also star in the series produced by Showtime Networks and Dreamworks Television. Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Alexa Junge also executive produce.

 

[Batty]

I think that Steven Spielberg guy has a bright future.

........yes i can see that phrase catching on. great show.

 

[Batty]

C'mon, don't let this thread die out! Anther great episode this week. Anymore thoughts about who destroyed the mural? I really don't think it was T. And I like how she actually apologized to Marshall. It seemed genuine.

And the boneheaded guy thinking Max was T's dad was great!
