I just want to show some appreciation for this programme as I just re-watched it and found it just as exciting as the first time, if not more so. It is frustrating that the American TV networks treat these things with such disdain, where ratings matter more than quality so good series can be culled before they've had a chance to get into their stride. It's a good thing that parents aren't allowed to take this attitude with their children.
As a big Buffy fan, I latched onto Point Pleasant as Marti Noxon was executive producer. There are certainly lines in PP which are obviously lifted from Buffy, but that's a good thing. I dug out my old Buffy DVDs to find one or two of these lines and discovered that Buffy now sadly seems amateurish in comparison with PP. Christina's situation reminded me of Willow in Buffy season 6.
It helps that all the women in PP are very attractive - even the mousy Judy (Aubrey Dollar) is actually gorgeous if you pay attention - and despite some criticism of Elizabeth Harnois she really does put in a gutsy performance and doesn't hold back in the more emotive scenes. I'm surprised that I haven't spotted any of the cast of PP in US TV series since then - except the adorable Cameron Richardson who was in Harper's Island recently.
Anyway, I think Point Pleasant is a much under-appreciated series and if anyone knows of an appreciation society out there somewhere, please let me know. I'm sure I'll be watching it again one day.
