RE: There Should Be a Thousand Yellow Daisies...
That particular show was never on my radar so the daisy reference is lost on me but it sounds like you have drawn the correct conclusions. It's not a bad thing to revisit formative parts of your past, they have something to teach
To be honest, I think you’re way too badass for this show. 😄
That is very likely, lol. I was just wondering what the thousand daisies are about
Ah! When one of the protagonist’s love interests asks her to marry him in a moment of spontaneous passion, she rejects and dismisses the proposal because it’s “wrong”. She then lists how a proposal should go. And one of the things on her list...”There should be a thousand yellow daisies...”
He of course has the daisies delivered to her in the next episode, proposes properly, and she accepts. But she bails on him days before the wedding. Because a woman who needs 1,000 yellow daisies isn’t really going to be satisfied by anything you do for her. That’s not really love.
I saw an interview with the show’s writer/creator. She revealed that after writing the scene, she discovered how dismally unimpressive 1,000 yellow daisies really looked. They ended up getting a ridiculously high - but undisclosed - number of daisies for the scene where she walks into a large room literally full of flowers. I remember watching the original broadcast of the episode and getting riled up because duh! So obviously way more than 1,000. After watching the interview I got all pissy. Like could you not research that beforehand? Talk to the art director. Consult the set dresser. You have one of the top rated shows on American television yet you botch such a pivotal plot point?!?
Kinda makes you wonder how I ever got sucked in, doesn’t it?
When you have been raised by intransigent narcissists, you will keep finding them, even on TV
