@doubar: Sorry for interrupted our conversation yesterday Doubar. My friends had called me for help with their homework, and when we finished, it was too late, and I decided to answer you today. I didn't know that you had answered me already. I think Doubar is good man for Bryn. I don't know how to describe it, but I always smile when I think about them. They remind of some couples I saw before. About Dermott, he will have something to do with Rumina (after Maeve defeats her ). Firouz is the man for science, not women, I think so. About fanfictions, I read near to all fanfictions on fanfiction.net. I really love them. Happy, sad or painful, they are still great. I couldn't image that someone can love Maeve and Sinbad so much like that. everyoneThank everyone for your encouragement for me but sorry to say that I don't write my fic by English. I'm not good at English. I don't think I can write something so long with it. Even with my mother tongue, my writing skill is also too bad. ( In my country, we were taught for good at math, not at language. It's really bad education method. I am glad that my government is trying to change it, but it is not easy when all of parents want their children become a gifted mathematician. However, I think my English will be better when I finish my fic, and if you help, I think I can try to translate it. I don't like google translate. It's really bad.

@firouz: so "the return of Maeve" is yours. I thought it is belonged to one of fans around here, but I couldn't guess who. It's really long, Firouz, I still don't finish it. @doubar: Thank you, Dourbar. I will try something.

Aww, don't you worry, banmaixanh. It's all fine. And it's nice of you btw to help your friends with their homework. Plus, this is much more important than replying to a post, dear. Aww, do you know that you're the first Doubar/Bryn fan outside of this forum that I know about? But I know exactly what you mean, because they make me smile, too. I guess it's just a point of view, but I for one think they can have a great chemistry - they already had in the show after all. And they do remind me of other couples, too. Their relationship would be more of a normal kind than the Sinbad/Maeve one is/was, but not less beautiful. And Dermott and Rumina... hum, would be fanscinating to see this work out. I guess it all depends on how one interprets Rumina. I mean, in "the Trickster" we got to know after all that she is pretty human as well. And Firouz: hehe, yeah, a man of science he is indeed. And after all he valued the journeys and the crew higher than he did having a relationship, so you could well be right there. I agree with you on fanfic.net. I, too, read near to all fics there and it still amazes me just how many brilliant pieces were - and are still being - written. Last but not least, as for your fic: as I said yesterday already: no reason at all to be sorry about that. For many years I, too, only wrote in my mother tongue before I felt comfortable enough to write my first English fic. So don't you ever worry about that. Hum, sorry to hear though that education seems to be a little one-sided in your country, though mathematics definitely is important and can get you far. However, I'm still convinced that your story will be beautiful. And know that you can always come here for help! We'll do the best we can! Hym, yeah. Only helps to get the general idea of what is being written, but once it comes to grammar and such... >_> ... <_<

Yeah, it's hard to make out who's who, right? We have quite many members by now. But maybe this'll help you: distandlands.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=club&action=display&thread=69&page=1Just click the link and you'll get to our Who's Who (you can only view it though when you're logged in ) - the table shows you who's active on fanfic.net (and youtube) and by which names they go by. Hope this helps. That's awesome.

banmaixanh, yea it's long and towards the end it gets longer. But that was kind of the point. It was supposed to be more about their inner struggles than the dialogue.
Kriss, ((HUGS))

This episode is actually a good one. I recall the first time I watched it, I immediately hated Bryn. I read Dermott's review on page 1 and it's pretty much what I remember thinking when I first saw this episode. Being worried when Maeve fell overboard ; feeling ridiculed when I saw Jacqueline Collen's name didn't appear in the opening credits. But rewatching it this time, my opinion of Bryn is quite different. It took me years to actually like her. But now, I coudn't picture her as Maeve's rival or enemy, in any way. While this is what I used to think at first. And I was startled because I didn't remember Sinbad's outfit was already different. So Maeve did see him with this new style. I don't know if I should still think of the clothing as a mourning, darker fashion because he lost her. His actions show that something in him has changed. But his clothing ... it changes how I remembered S2 and Maeve's departure. However, I was glad to see from 41:06 until 41:20 ... it's EXACTLY how a man restraining himself from crying would react. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT97yGXbB50By the way ... what the hell happened to DimDim's voice ?! Oh, and Doubar ... about what we talked yesterday in your fic. DimDim did say ''you will find Bryn a powerful asset in your travel'' before the orb moved away. I don't believe in coincidences ! I'm sure he has something to do about her being part of the crew Plus, Dermott immediately adopts her. Maybe they had already met, who knows ? She can't remember, but maybe Dermott does. Maybe that's why she can't recall Maeve either. What if the two girls had already met ? Okay, random brainstorming, mouhahahaha. ;D

In the beginning, yea, Sinbad had the new clothes on and Maeve has seen him in them. I remember thinking, that those clothes and his hair at that point...the wavy bob, was suave and debonier and sexy.
There were many theories as to why his clothes were changed...one of Firouz's inventions destroyed his old clothes. You know, in the time in between episodes that no one sees but still some kind of storyline is created there?
Or, the clothes were too old and Maeve bought them for him as a thank you for all he had done for her in the last year.
He bought them for himself as a change of pace...
Or that the producers were simply changing the main characters wardrobes up a bit as Sinbad's wasn't the only one to change...his was only the more noticable.

I really like this look, too. But reading the fandom I grew accustomed to see people comment about how he had changed, how Maeve was surprised to see his new look (whenever the fanfic implied her return), so I got convinced he had changed after she was gone, to the point I wrote it in my own fics.
And there is indeed a gap between the two seasons, though wider than I remembered. Could have been several months in a timeline. Maybe they did get into some kind of relationship before she was taken away (in my mind, at least) ;D

@fire: *seconds everything you said* The development of how I regarded Bryn was pretty much exactly like you described it - and maybe like most around here experienced it. Hating her at first and believing that she was Maeve's rival (which, if you ask me, is only because yes... Sinbad had to give her these looks right from the beginnig even *though* he was searching for Maeve); and then - as the years went by - growing accostumed to her and reaching a point where one actually started to see her as an independent char that's actually very amiable. Anyhow. I know. It's a slight fault that has found its way into the fandom and that I wasn't safe from either. All my stories imply that she had changed his outfit after Maeve feel overboard - as do almost all of the older fics. But I guess the reason for that is that most of the fans were rather young when the show was aired (I was about 12 when it did) and so shocked when they saw The Sacrifice that their memory most likely would totally ignore the fact that Sinbad wore those clothes right from the beginning of that ep, and just made the connection: Maeve gone + Sinbad's new outfit. Or at least that's what happened with me. ;D Because when, years later, they re-run the series I noticed for the first time that I actually remembered wrong. But that was too late then already. ;D Anyhow, now you know why Maeve and Sinbad are writing the fashoin-thread. Haha. ;D Oh, and my very personal favourite version of why Sinbad changed his clothes is written in the following fanfic: www.fanfiction.net/s/4365262/1/Dark_clouds_lie_aheadit goes together with: www.fanfiction.net/s/4794236/1/Clouds_of_DustBoth are just little oneshots, but so worth reading! Plus I really, really like the idea of the clothes being connected to Maeve. I've always preferred the S1 outfit, although I agree they looked rather boyish and think it's reasonable for fans to think that Maeve got him the new outfit because she liked a more manly look on him or whatever... but for my liking it still is too dark... and too fitting for his S2 reckless attitude rather than the Sinbad Maeve fell in love with. But anyhow, that's just my personal two cents in this. And as for DimDim: Right?! O.o In our dubbing the orb had DimDim's original voice so when I read the first fic stating that the orb was indeed a trick made by Scratch or Turok I was astounded. Because I never thought of that. But then I watched the ep in English and immediately understood what lead to this idea. This said, I still have no idea why they had that orb sound so odd. I guess that they just didn't want to call the actor for those few lines so they had a random cast member say them and then they modified them. *shrugs* Heh, but true. There's a purpose in that. ;D We know though that the same was more hinting towards the later outcome with Bryn and Sinbad both being leaders of the human race, yadiyada and so on and so forth... but who says we can't interpret it in another way as well? ;D And you're right about Dermott. That's also btw why here in the rpg we stated that Dermott in fact *has* met Bryn before. Mala: ... which would definitely be the real cause for the changes but interpreting the same on a show-oriented level is definitely more fun. ^^

Definitely using Bryn as Maeve's ally for my season 3 fics I think for many people in the fandom it was the shock from the sudden change that made us not like Bryn. She was a girl, was Dermott's new mistress, had magical abilities, just like Maeve. and since it was quite obvious Maeve and Sinbad had some kind of half-admitted romantic relationship in s1, it was natural to think the same would happen in s2 with Bryn. The character in itself is a great person, someone I'd like as a friend too, hehe. So it's definitely not her personality but really the fact she appeared to us as ''Maeve's replacement'' that bothered M/S fans.
