Now that my exams are over and I finally have some time to dedicate to writing, I was thinking....I want to write down ideas about Corrine's character. Up until now Corrine has been the goody goody brainer with a little connection to the janitor. We have met her parents, watched her go back in time and meet Vaughn's mom and we know that there is a reason why her and Josie ended up in the same room together. We know that the premise of the show is based around Josie's questions about what is going on and why things happen the way they do and the black hole. We know the stories behind the others; Vaughn, Lucas and Marshall. But a few things need to come together. I would love to see Corrine's character somehow have a great episode that will shock viewers. Something that will make us go...."WHAT THE H...!" "I can't believe it!" Something nobody would believe. I was hoping we could come up with some ideas together...an explaination to why Corrine is the way she is....Here is one, lets see if we can come up with a shocker:
Ok, here goes. Vaughn and Corrine were born in the same hospital. At the time Corrine's mom and Vaughn's mom shared the same room. When Victor came to see his son, he planted a small micro chip into the back of his ear, where no one could see it. At the same time (for experimental purposes) he did the same to Corrine. Over the years he has followed Corrine's progress....this is where I loose steam. Ok, it sucked, but I will be back!

Kaytee has her own theories that when Corrine went back in time, Sarah convinced her to work for her, then wiped her concious memory so she'd only be helping subconciously. She also thought she could be working for Victor conciously.

[/quote] It's called "Hemispheres." Thursday is was not a great episode and none of Corrine's other season 2 episodes were any better. All of her Season 3 episodes were woven into C/M which isn't a well liked ship among most people. The only actual good thing was Friction but it was also a Vaughn episode and it started the C/V ship (which people like better than C/M). Some characters really only have one plot backing their character. Josie, Z, Lucas, and Durst are somewhat universal. Marshall is getting built upon. Corrine and Vaughn only have one storyline though - Corrine is her perfectionism and Vaughn following his father. Attacking perfectionism isn't a good plotline. The plotline of "Corrine is 'little goodie-goodie miss perfect' but is neither perfect nor a very model student gets old . 3 episodes is pushing it. We don't need 5 episodes on it. A plot to show Corrine is not perfect or not a goodie-goodie isn't too interesting anyway though. Make it a subplot (Who?), okay. Make it the main plot (Thursday, Ecosystem, Equation), kind of confusing and may even be boring. Perfection is boring. I'm interested in the 'Corrine is in league with Victor' plot. That could make a good episode though we would see the plot twist coming thanks to Katyee . ILoveHer, perhaps a fanfic?

Nah, Hemispheres doesn't really count. It didn't shock me at all (it did add a bit of ammo for both sides on the C/M debate but shock, not really). We didn't really learn that much more about Corrine except that she doesn't think of herself as creative, she's colourblind (she says Josie 'won't touch pink' when she's worn it a few times ) and she's willing to dress up like MC Hammer when the mood takes her I think what ILoveHer was trying to say goes along in part with what Kaytee and I have said in the past: What Corrine needs is some real drama! Intrigue! Lies! Cover-ups and conspiracies! Betrayal! Shock revalations! A link with Pearadyne! If by most people, you mean a small group who take the show a bit too seriously (guilty as charged, btw) then yes. If actually most people, no, not really - I see so many people all over the place that list C/M as one of their favourite ships. But I do think it's wrong that in season 3, most of the Corrine plots centred on 'romance'. It's... well, it's not really fair. As a character, she's worth more than that. It doesn't say much for feminism and equal opportunities if a strong, intelligent femal character only gets screentime in the context of her pining over a guy So, yes, bring on Pearadyne!

Ok, how did I go about missing the most important post on the boards... Hail and I had tons of theories and ideas about this a while ago, and I bet still now. I could go on forever. People don't wanna believe that Corrine is part of the grand narrative; they ignore the signs she gives off in ech episode... but I tell u ILH it will all surface... u'll see (all of u)... hopefully

MC, HS and KT, you guys are so right! I do believe that Corrine's character is blah. Yes, I too want Corrine to have something to do with Pearadyne.....if you are reading this Jim or Jeff write something fantastic!!!Something that will blow us a way!!! Corrine needs to come out. If there is a 4th season let it come out that there is something for Corrine with substance. Yes, we know that Josie is the seeker...now let her find out what is really happening....Something deep...something...crazy. I did read all of KT theories and they are great and I also thought about the back in time theory...what if Sara did do something with her memory...what if?
I am a bit tired with the Josie 2 episodes. There is no substance, nothing concrete to what and who she is and what is going on. I think they ran out of idea's and thought a twist would be good to throw into the mix.
Yes, I agree with Hemisphere's it was a great episode for Corrine and as we said before Thursday and most other episode's that concentrate on other characters are all fillers. Maybe we should enlist the writers from Desperate Housewives to the writing table, I am sure they will come up with a twist....Hmmmmm!
I am sick of the romantic plots and hope it ends. I mean, come on, like HS said, enough...Corrine is a strong, intelligent woman, it belittles her by throwing in all this mushy stuff. Now that I am a bit older, I can appreciate a strong woman in my life (not including my mom of course), but someone that share and appreciate who I am.
Let' get some solid storylines with Corrine.

Bwah!!! Hailstorm funny. ;DI am a bit tired with the Josie 2 episodes. There is no substance, nothing concrete to what and who she is and what is going on. I think they ran out of idea's and thought a twist would be good to throw into the mix. Oh thank you. I though I was the only one who didn't like the Josie clone. I too feel as if she was just kind of thrown in there, and she seems almost cliched somehow. I don't know, I have just never cared for her. I don't think the romantic stuff necessarily belittes Corrine or makes her weak; I just wish they would give her character a storyline besides pining over Marshall. I see Corrine as someone who is very confident in her scholastic abilities, but not very confident with her self-image, looks, etc. She has probably heard "you're so smart!" all her life, but never heard "you're pretty/interesting/talented etc." I can relate to that; school was easy for me, but I struggled with knowing how to be myself and be confident.
A boyfriend will not fix her self-esteem issues; Corrine needs to be confident and know who she is BEFORE entering a relationship. Which goes back to giving her something else to do so she can learn more about herself and grow confident. Of course, I don't really know what that "something" should be.
But hey, seeing her be a double-agent would be cool too.

...If actually most people, no, not really - I see so many people all over the place that list C/M as one of their favourite ships. Where's that poll where we chose our favorite ships? Didn't C/M have among the fewer votes? So, yes, bring on Pearadyne! yes, Borrine Caxter would be a stunning plot twist for Corrine *rotfl*. Perhaps Victor has developed mind control technology. Nah, scrap the mind control technology part. Maybe we should enlist the writers from Desperate Housewives to the writing table, I am sure they will come up with a twist....Hmmmmm! BHH meets DH? Lucas could be Andrew (notice in Friction, he is the only one who remains calm in the situation like he does not care that the whole Vaughn and Corrine thing could break up Corrine and Marshall *tosses idea to HailStorm*). A boyfriend will not fix her self-esteem issues; Corrine needs to be confident and know who she is BEFORE entering a relationship. I have a friend who so needs that advice. Thanks for giving me something to tell her *nods*.

If we do get a 4th season, I beleive that it will happen. We absolutely will get to see a more interesting side to Corrine. Hopefully of the questionable loyalty kind. *runs with it* (I actually already have a Crazy Whacked Out Shipping Theory tm about Friction... but I'm keeping it under wraps for now. It'll make people laugh, seriously (I know as an argument that it's bad but it's too good not to share eventually )) As for BHH meets DH - YES! And Madison could be Edie too. And the Janitor could be Paul (would that make Josie2 Zach? ) That's because people could only vote for one option and most people's most favouritest ship evaaar is either J/V or J/L but they also like C/M - if they could have chosen more than one answer, say if the question was 'which of these ships do you like?' rather than 'which is your favourite' then there would have been a lot more votes for C/M. Now there's a sensible post As for the romantic plot belittleing Corrine, I would disagree. If she had other plotlines, I would be much less so, obviously, but as it's the only plot she gets at the moment, it seems like all she does. Which I don't think is sending a very good message It's just too wrong that an intelligent and strong willed female character has to rely on a guy to get screentime. The girl really, really needs some further character development and an interesting, exciting non-romantic plot. You do actually see some minor character development in Corrine in Season 3 (as in she's slightly more open to the possibility of breaking the rules to snoop and you do see that she has self-image insecurities (before all of her insecurities were linked to acheiving perfection and making her parents proud.) but unfortunately, once again, these are tied into Marshall and the 'mushy stuff'. I think Tesseract was a good episode for Corrine. She actually got decent screentime in that without it being dependent on Marshall (she didn't pine about Marshall, she didn't hatch a cunning plan to ensnare Marshall, she showed here awesome calculating ability, a sort of brother-sister vibe with Lucas and got to run around screaming, which must have been fun). Hehehehe ;D two thumbs up, my friend!

That's basically what I was trying to say. I don't mind her having a romantic plot if she has something else too. So far we have mostly seen her pine over Marshall and conveniently know everything there is to know about amnesia, holograms, and mirror-building when the other characters need help. Seriously, I think THAT is the most annoying thing about Corrine. She knows...everything. How convenient! She's like the deus-ex-machina of every episode. She exists to fill in plot-holes.

Tsk tsk... the fact that she knows everything is why she is suspicious. Everyone just thinks, 'oh wow, no surprise she knows this"... she is a genius. BUT, they never ask "WHY she knows this... " that is where many theories can be started... why... muhahahaha (ok' I am needing sleep... )
