I thought this was interesting. In the storyboards, Jenn is described as bearing "a striking resemblance to Janaene Garofalo". Vince definitely had her in mind for the part, and maybe she was even initially cast.
I love the storyboards, and really any of the extras that give insight into the making of an episode. I actually have receipts for the crew lunches from the location shoot on Je Souhaite 😂
Definite go-to episode for me when looking for one to make me smile.
Re: gillian & David being at odds - eh. They had (have) an intense relationship, and the end of S7 was a tense time. It actually makes the shippiness better for me in this particular ep to know that it was intentional
and not just carry over from G&D's natural flirtiness. I like the thought of Vince purposefully creating that vibe, and the crew in general acknowledging that The Switch Has Flicked.
Another wonderful episode! I too, always wondered about the booby remote and so went on a nsfw quest to find it. It’s so very magical! I had never noticed the nipple buttons but now am all the better for it.
When I rewatched “Je Souhaite” last night, I noticed for the first time that the carpet is *breathing* when Jenn is inside. I’m not sure if this was intentional, or just a consequence of having an actor wrapped up in a carpet! I’m amazed that I can still notice new details in a 25 year old episode.
