really miss the Sally tapes. I can't tell you what the narrations
added to the show. I can tell you that replacing them with the
Pavone-counselor character is my least favorite change in the show.
Yes, even more than the haircut.
Yes, even more than the personality transfer of Ben and Noel.
Yes, even more than Felicity sleeping with the gay porn star.
This thread raised the question "is Sally all in Felicity's head?".
While I don't believe that's true, the tapes certainly felt more like
Felicity's thoughts than Pavone's diatribes do. Pavone is way too
direct in her influence.
Also, the narration allows for the insertion of shots Felicity, Ben,
Noel and the other characters while Felicity "listens" to the tapes.
Pavone's advice usually includes a shot Pavone and that "ya get what
I'm saying?" look she always has on her face.
In my humble and uneducated opinion, it's a step down.

Does anyone know the age difference between Sally and Felicity? I'm watching the show for the first time andThere you go. As far as I can recall, all of the incidents of Felicity
playing a tape from Sally are from the first season. I suspect that either
A) Janeane didn't want to be involved anymore and/or was too busy during the
second season or B) the producers wanted to scale back the "narration" part
of the show somewhat, just like we heard less from Liz's diary in the latter
half of Roswell's first season.
Either way, as much as I adore Janeane Garofalo, I don't really miss her
tapes to Felicity. It was a distraction to what was going on and I hope we
hear less of Felicity's tapes to Sally this season.
Oh, and I'm new to this NG, so hi.

I'm on season two, but I feel like these messages are kind of personal, and I know that she's Felicity's closest confidante but doesn't it seem strange she became this close to an old French teacher?
