Early Reela days

I started watching them on tnt since they're on in the mornings and boy, I'm really enjoying it, its cute to see how they were earlier..I look at how they are in the begining, its weird, did you guys ever imagine they'd end up falling in love? I didnt lol..but i love it.

however, the spoilers arent up yet so apparently they're still writing it or acting the scenes...

shane has to know something by now about his second appearance, he's just not allowed to release too much info on it...

i just cant wait....the minute anyone finds anything regarding that, tell me...just dont spoil it lol....

ooohh, i cant wait to see how neela is thursday...they said her character would change after haunted....so its after haunted....

let it be a good change and keep that annoying brenner away!!!

I'm itching for spoilers as well American but I'm thinking that even if Shane does have info on his second episode he will be sworn to secrecy by TPTB at NBC/ER.

As for the episodes leading up to Ray's reappearance, please know that there will be times when Neela's inner strength will be tested (especially by Brenner) and we may want to yell at her but we need to look at the bigger picture and know that it is all a part of the process in which Neela finally "grows up" and takes real control over not just her professional life but more importantly her personal life.

GO REELA!

I just saw the episode where Ray is doing his toxicology elective and asks everyone to come to his gig. He particularly turns to Neela and says "Roomie, are you coming?" to which Neela replies "it's why I get up in the mornings."

Roomies at its snarky best, and when I think about it, when Ray gives her his trademark funny look after that line - could it be the first instance of the writers giving Ray feelings for Neela??? He definitely asks Neela in particular, and in quite a wistful fashion I might add.

Hmmm.... this is the episode before Dream House...

Hahaha! I *love* that scene so much. Yeah, I think that scene was one of the first more "obvious" signs we were given to there being something more going on between the two of them.

Ahh the ol' reela days, I just watched out on a limb on ER today and boy, its just so nice to see the roomies. by the end of this season, i hope they are roomies again but not just that

I just watched the episode where Ray goes to work even though Weaver thinks he resigned. The part where he hopes to sneak by her and then asks Dubenko to keep an eye on her as she watches him - HILARIOUS. Then later he catches Archie with his 4 nipples. This show was so funny at this point in time.

Seriously - Ray didn't get enough screen time, he had a great comedic bone. (Archie: "What we don't knock around here?" Ray: "On a curtain?!"

Also, a couple of weeks from now they are airing "Heart of the Matter" - and the episode description includes "Ray gets jealous when he sees Neela and Gates flirting." Sigh.

I love watching the old stuff over and over.

Ray is really funny and him with Neela is pure magic. I really like the old Reela episodes. I like the episodes where they were Roomies the best. It wasn't about the drama and the love triangles and the hurt it was just about them and it was sweet. I like Haunted too, for the most part it was them, just like old times. I want them to be roomies again before the show is over too, I want to hear him calling her 'Roomie' again!!!

I totally know how u feel. Anytime I hear Ray say "roomie" I smile. it's kinda pathetic,but oh well there's nothing I can do to stop it. I love the roomie eppys the best too. Ray wasn't getting hurt at that time and Haunted was awesome too b/c it was about them. Now that I think about it, it is kind of wierd that Ray spent so much time with Neela and nobody else, like Morris. It's awesome, but still kinda wierd since he left on horrible terms with her and he still has some unresolved feelings for her. But, what it comes down to is that they are Friends---best friends, infact. and Ray especially hasn't let his love for her get into the way of that.

(I don't know if this makes any sense, but i know what i'm trying to say, it's just hard to come up w/ words for it. )

I smile when I hear him say Roomie too

I think it's just the fact that he smiles when he says it, it's just so cute!

That makes perfect sense. He loves her but they were friends first and he doesn't want to lose that even if it means that their 'just friends' which is very sweet. I really like the old episodes because they have this very interesting vibe between them. It's hard to describe, just in the way they look and act around each other, I think they always had feelings for each other because there are some scenes where there is some subtle flirting going on. And I just LOVE the scene in the episode 'Here and There' when Neela turns and is face to face with Ray right after he said it's hard to meet people!!! Great scene!! So it was always there even if it wasn't as obvious.

I love it every time Ray calls Neela his 'Roomie'!!!

I just watched house divided today where ray almost tells neela how he feels but is yet again interupted by gates

Saved on my TIVO! I'm now up to 15 Reela related episodes and counting. When are the damn DVDs coming in the US?!?!?!?

heh, season 10 comes out in march, where neela enters, 11 is probably 2010, then 12 is probably 2011 and so on. i want my reela episodes now but i have to watch em on tnt or youtube, thats the best i can get for now.

I watched yet another S 13 episode today....I grow very tired of this. We're in season 15 and STILL NOTHING YET! They have to give us more than haunted because you know, one episode just isn't going to do it, they'd have to make outstanding like haunted to give us a satisfying ending.

I know what you mean this has taken way too long and they have put us thru way too much. We deserve more than just one episode we deserve multiple Reela episodes with them as an official couple!!!!

Oh goodness - no season 11 until 2010?!?!?!? That would suck. Though if this is the final season they may end up speeding up the release.

I just went and checked Amazon - they look like they are releasing every 6 months. That at least means I can pick up season 11 towards the end of this year.

Although all of this assumes that there is a happy Reela ending, or I just won't bother buying anything. I'll already skip buying season 14 as it is. Too depressing and no Ray (except for that biting scene where Abby yells at Neela - ouch! And the locker scene...aww....).

I wonder where TNT will stop airing reruns.

I already have seasons 1-13 on DVD.....you can buy them from play.com and amazon already....I think thats were mine were bought....they usually come out around the time of my birthday and are presents

You lucky dogs in other parts of the world can - unfortunately we're barely up to season 10 (out in March) in the US. I would have bought the UK/Europe versions if I could play them, but you guys are on a different system!

I have a multi region DVD player...comes in handy for things like that

ahh! Stop bragging, you're so lucky!

I'm not, I'm saying if your ever buying a DVD player again you should look for a multi region

heh....gosh, I can't WAIT until the dvds are out

The ep i saw on friday was where neela asked ray for advice and then he pulled the you have that ethnical alarm system and then the pain in the ass comment haha, ray ends up asking neela to grab a beer with him and she eventually does....ahh reela.....

The FINALLY Reela kiss is on TNT on Monday. Break out your DVRs if you don't already have the episode handy.

Random side note about that episode - does anyone else wonder how they ended that kiss in the car????

Did they have a make-out session?
Did Neela invite him up?
Was there anything beyond kissing?

They are so embarassed the next episode...I figure it was just one big make-out session, but I'm so curious. I don't think it made it out of the car, but it just makes me wonder.

My most likely guess is Neela freaking out and splitting.
