    So it was give as much as you can? If it's cheap, why not see it over and over again?

    it was a $5 "donation" but they realy made it feel like you had no choice and i was always too gutless to argue ,  and by suddenly saying its free to all aucklanders with proof of id shows it wasnt realy optional

    How much will be roped off though? I'm sure you can't just walk in and sit on grandpas chair. (if you were game enough)
    • CommentAuthorlouise86

    lol you wouldn't want to sit on his chair. It would be likely to get damaged if it wasn't roped off, so I can't see fans getting access to the set. I don't know, I have an impulse to feel the carpet though... Wink

    Haha that's not what I was implying!!! I was talking about Loretta giving birth, Cheryl and Wolf going at it on the bench, Van sleeping in the tub, Loretta conceiving Jane... And yeah I suppose nudity with that darn love sock- Judd and Ted, and Ted's bubble bath.

    The big selling point for this is, check out the table the Wests all sit around and eat their fish pie on.

    But wasn't the table destroyed in the end of season 5? I think it had a table cloth on it at the time so I'm guessing a fake table was used?

    But in the context of the story it will be weird to see a perfect table after it had been demolished.. I guess the Tool Guys could fix it?

    And wasn't the table stolen by the gang guys in whatever season that was...

    It's a magic table

    We still have season 6 to come cornelius... and now there's a doll!

    The "cop" was thrown onto the table in the final so it should be broken.The gang guys stole the other table, but they look strangely similar... It must have a twin... or triplets?

    I'm undecided Louise.. I think if cast were there I might be more inclined to make a trip out of it.
    • CommentAuthorlouise86
    • CommentTimeJun 1st 2010
     
    We've got plenty of time to think about it. I guess how this season ends will also influence my decision. One thing I know is that I'll be disappointed if I don't go and later find out how awesome it was. Like I said to tamar, we'll send her the bill if it sucks lol!

    that would be mean if the cast made an appearence! people would flock over for the opening

    Well if cast were to go on certain night/s like opening etc.. I think we should be given first dibs for tickets over people on facebook who ask every 5 seconds when the fucking show returns. lol
