Do you like Faye, as a character?

Oh, youth.

I assume what Scruffy meant was the way people in TV and films are played by people much older than their characters, sometimes absurdly so. Still, your reply reminds me of the line from Swimming With Sharks "If you're not a rebel by 20 you've got no heart, and if you're not establishment by 30 you've got no brain."

Yeah, "Friends" comparisons are inevitable.
And also yeah, you can't trust tv to do it right.

Yep, QC would absolutely be turned into Friends, and it would suck like The Whirlpool Of Death. This forum would turn into a seething pool of hatred for the actors, writers and network.
That was a bit pessimistic...
OnewingedAngel:
And by 'pessimistic' you actually mean 'highly accurate'?

1. Isn't Marten supposed to be like 25?
2. I am 32 and people usually assume I am about 22 based on appearance and personality and hobbies.
Just because people age does not mean they have to get old.

What does being "establishment" mean? Do you have to stop playing guitar in rock bands when you turn 30? Are you no longer allowed to buy albums by new artists?
I just know, and have known, far too many people who never stop living "the life". It depresses me that there is any assumption that it is "normal" to settle down at any point in one's life.

Fair points.

Yes, that's pretty much it. Knuckle down to career and family. Take up the guitar in your late thirties and you must be having a crisis.
I've heard that people largely stop buying new music when they reach their thirties, and just buy compilations of what they liked already. For instance, my father stopped listening to new music in 1977, the year I was born (I think that's cause and effect.) On the other hand, the customers who are keeping the music chains alive (in the UK, at least) are "50 quid Man"; mostly male, old enough (and advanced enough in their careers) to have the cash to spend fifty pounds a week on new and old music.

True. I've met several too, and I'm not about to really fit the mold either. Though in my case I'd say it's more idleness than non-conformity.

Maybe people in general, but not music fans in general. What I mean is, people who are really excited by music and explore lots of different kinds of it when they're 20 are likely to never stop that process. In fact, I listen to more "new" artists than most younger people I know. It's not really a function of age, it's more to do with how you approach music period.
