no takebacks

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

I'm still awed that one of the most magical pilots moments ever came out of improvising. After Lee does is little speech, I think the line in the script was for Katee to just say, "I'm gonna have to write that one down." For whatever reason she thought it needed to be more playful, and then Katee and Jamie pull this exchange out of their asses that reminds you of a couple silly twelve-year-olds dancing around their crushes on each other. In my mind, Kara's "You can't take it back" thing speaks worlds about how happy she really was to hear it. It's almost like she's snagging an opportunity to tell him, "If anything happens with us, it's your fault. Just saying. You gorgeous moron."

Oh nice! I did not know this was an improvised bit. Makes sense though.

I enjoy all their improvisations I must say. (Ahem esp. Jamie's suggestion that Lee should kiss her.)


***why does brain now want RPF of them trying to out-improvise each other? Oh dear.***

ETA: I just read today that apparently Harrison Ford improvised the "I know" response in Star Wars. That too totally makes sense given Lucas's later crap writing.

Was Ford supposed to say "I love you too"? Cause that would be a badass bit of improv. That line is LEGENDARY Han Solo.

It's always interesting to hear what was changed from the script, and I think in a lot of cases the screenwriters didn't really trust the performances to say enough and the actors fixed it. Another example I've heard of is that in "Scar," in the scene after Kat hits Kara and Lee asks her if she's okay, she was supposed to say something back. But on the commentary they say that the reaction she has on her face in response to his concern says it all, so they just called cut.

Yup he was! Apparently George Lucas didn't like the line and made him go to a test screening to try to prove it would get a "bad laugh" and instead it got a "good laugh" and was kept in!

Yeah I listened to the commentary on Scar about that one. I think he too was supposed to say something to Kat and instead he just gave her a look and she fell silent, right before that.

Oh I didn't know that was improvised, cute! I know the quick kiss was improvised and the "you've got a brain". In my head Jamie and Katee have that kind of friendly teasing relationship in real life so that they can improvise these things, even though that's probably not true at all.

I had no idea that part was improvised. It's such an important moment that wasn't even written. Thank god we had Jamie and Katee to keep us shippers happy!:)
