5:48 Mountain man indeed. Those rivers are freezing even in the summer! And the rocks slippery. I can't imagine bathing in one. Production built Neil McNeil's cabin right next to the mission house on set but they usually filmed scenes like these in the Great Smokey Mountains National State park. I was blessed many years ago to visit both the Townsend farm where most of the buildings were and the park :)
Stellar music, stellar casting, stellar storyline. They don't make shows like this anymore, I grew up on this and nothing has come close to such a perfect blend all coming together in one place.
Yep that's me in the kitchen with a hot guy and no culinary skills lol trying to prove something I definitely don't have haha 🤣 also a teacher of 17 years and traveled half the world so this hits home
@harrietcow you basically summed up my thoughts exactly as I watched this a few years ago with my friends they couldn't believe how I like Neil over the preacher and I couldn't understand how they weren't melting at the Scottish hunk before our eyes! ;)
So cute... she's so inexperienced - she couldn't tell he thought it was a date! And what's even more cute, they're both as crazy about each other even after their fight and neither of them will admit it to themselves!
I love this "pairing." McNeil is such a gruff teddy bear that I can't help but love him. I really dislike the way Daniel treats Christy, but Neil tries to challenge her mind, and I love the fact that Neil went and basically *jumped* into the water to get clean. But nothing can go right for Christy! The second hand embarrassment is strong with this one! :P
+vampblckheartofdeath - Didn't you mean "the way *David* treats Christy"? But yeah, maybe Christy should've fixed another meal or two for Neil before asking him about Daniel Scott (a la _The Book of Esther_).
ok, so I haven't watched the rest of the episode but so far I agree with Dr. McNeil...they all assumed he wanted a helper and now he has to change his life around?? Naa, it's not his fault.
OP I just want to thank you for posting these! I have despaired of seeing a resolution in at least *fanfiction* of this show, and as one does, sometimes a person has to do it themselves! I appreciate being able to check little things like whether Neil's cabin has curtains at the windows!
something I find interesting is how many of these actors and actresses have bright blue eyes! Often times it is the color of their eyes that is all I see since they are so bright compared to everything else on the screen.
I preferred Neil from first introduction in book, I was what, 7 or, 9? Christy & Neil fit. David has his attractions. He just needs a different person.
Everyone there is prejudice expect the people at the mission, even the Christian ones. I'm not making excuses for Neil's prejudice but just keep in mind he is far from alone. I feel so bad for poor Dan. How he keeps his head is beyond me.
I just realized Ruby Mae Morrison, ( Emily Schulman ) was the annoying little red headed neighbor kid of the Lawsons on the 80s tv sitcom ," Small Wonder" . The father , Ted Lawson, plays a robotics engineer who creates an android named Vicki.
I always liked Neil more than the preacher. I always loved how he had such feelings for Cristy but didn't outrightly pursue her like the preacher did. He was subtle and reserved about it. Overall Neil just always seemed more right for Cristy. I was so happy they got married in the end.
Which one did Christy recite the Lewis Carroll Jabberwocky poem ...Stumped on this: However, I have my theories of which one & I know she told Sam-Houston the story of _Androcles & the lion_ In 'The Hostage.'
I sometimes wonder how it might've been if Miss Alice and Christy had phoned from Kentucky to inform Neil of the plan; but just left out the fact that Daniel Scott was black. :) *That* would've been interesting; because then Dr. MacNeill would've had no other excuse.
Which episode shows a burning house in the opening theme i've never seen that episode, this episode is the epitomy of racism what other reason could there be for allowing someone to read the medical book and not practice other than for him to assume that Dan Scott's not educated enough.
It wasn't racism. And no one knew better than Dr. McNeil, who came from a poor mountain family, what it was to have people believe you were nothing but uneducated. One must watch the whole series to understand Dr. McNeil's view on Dan Scott who he came to highly respect. First of all, he was not happy that Alice brought Dan there and just expected him to train him when he was so busy as it was. And Second, he knew how the mountain people would react to not just a black man but any outsider. Neil was scared of the trouble it could bring. All he had to fall back on as a doctor was the trust he had in his own mountain people while trying to lead them slowly into a world of modern medicine. So, yes. Neil was being cowardly and arrogant and selfish. But not racist.

I guess it's just me but when I see them together I see a father and a daughter not a real relationship between a man and a woman. They don't look like a right fit to me.
It was not unusual a hundred-plus years ago for the man in the relationship to be significantly older than the woman. Sadly there seemed to be more remarried widowers than widows, in part due to maternal mortality factors in childbirth; plus a man was expected to have an established career, homestead and other property at the time he married.
I can understand that. Back then it was common and normal for a man and woman to get married that far apart back in the day. Probably because the man was more mature and had more life experience and could support that young woman. But nowadays, getting married at that age difference would be weird. But even nowadays if someone got married to someone else 20 years older, I don’t think it would be weird if the woman was 25 and the guy 45. Anything below the age of 25 would definitely be weird nowadays. That’s just my opinion. I certainly wouldn’t get married to someone 20 years older than me.
I preferred Neal when I was 20. Now, at 42, I still prefer Neal ❤

3:32 - The _donkey_ was *The PERFECT* symbolic "stand-in" for Neil as Christy practiced her speech! 😄
Stellar music, stellar casting, stellar storyline. They don't make shows like this anymore, I grew up on this and nothing has come close to such a perfect blend all coming together in one place.
Love how he chucks the soap when he sees the smoke!
Actually Christy married the preacher. Based on Catherine Marshall's mother. Named my daughter Christy. My all-time favorite book.
Christy married Doctor McNeil. I got the book 30 years ago when I learned about the series and I've loved the book ever since.
Yep that's me in the kitchen with a hot guy and no culinary skills lol trying to prove something I definitely don't have haha 🤣 also a teacher of 17 years and traveled half the world so this hits home

Haha yes, I did mean David, my hands work faster than my mind does :P
You mean, David? The preacher? Yeah, he's controlling and wants a woman to hold up his ego by being subservient and obedient. Blerk.
ok, so I haven't watched the rest of the episode but so far I agree with Dr. McNeil...they all assumed he wanted a helper and now he has to change his life around?? Naa, it's not his fault.
I love the show Christy!!😊
@trinigir14 Nope, not really. At least not when there's a Scotsman bathing in a river right out the window :D

LoL Do you think her speaking to the donkey is about the same as talking to Neil? I love it.
Tyne Daly!!! Never realized that was her. In a show with Kellie Martin. Perfect 😍
I have always been team David,but the more I watch,I am now team Neil.He and Christy are a perfect match!Too bad he was married.
they get married in the book and the show
In actuality Christy marries the preacher. It is a true story about Catherine Marshalls mother @christie7201
I preferred Neil from first introduction in book, I was what, 7 or, 9?
Christy & Neil fit.
David has his attractions.
He just needs a different person.
This is my favorite episode!
Getting distracted Miss Huddleston
Everyone there is prejudice expect the people at the mission, even the Christian ones. I'm not making excuses for Neil's prejudice but just keep in mind he is far from alone. I feel so bad for poor Dan. How he keeps his head is beyond me.
sermonizing at him won't work
what will?
so she gets all prepped up and cooks for him
I just realized Ruby Mae Morrison, ( Emily Schulman ) was the annoying little red headed neighbor kid of the Lawsons on the 80s tv sitcom ," Small Wonder" . The father , Ted Lawson, plays a robotics engineer who creates an android named Vicki.
His face at 04:46
*Alright, lets see where this is going...!*
His face at 8:54, though: Oh, so THAT's where it went...?!
Oh, he's totally gone...and there's something so sexy about such a manly guy like Neil all dirty and sweaty working on his cabin. ;-)
Thanks up loading this series i love it so much please it these episodes up.
I always liked Neil more than the preacher. I always loved how he had such feelings for Cristy but didn't outrightly pursue her like the preacher did. He was subtle and reserved about it. Overall Neil just always seemed more right for Cristy. I was so happy they got married in the end.
I would have burned it too!
Neil - undoubtedly.
There wasn't a Dr. McNeil. He was a composite of several men. Leonora LeSourd did have a Doctor who was a suitor. He is cute.
I can’t be the only one who wishes Showtime had picked up this series ... ya know... 😎
Fairlight's idea = Fairlight knew what she was doing 😁😅
j'adorait cette série
Kelli Martin and was on ER and the actor playing the doctor guest starred on ER as a patient , a shame her and Dr. Carter were stabbed in season 6
Rebecca Meister she wanted out of the series. I thought she did great in ER.
Which one did Christy recite the
Lewis Carroll Jabberwocky poem
...Stumped on this:
However, I have my theories of
which one & I know she told
Sam-Houston the story of
_Androcles & the lion_
In 'The Hostage.'
The Jabberwocky recitation took place in "A Man's Reach".
She is such a flirt
Everybody has a right to learn to learn regardless of race or religion.Denying someone's rights is wrong.
I sometimes wonder how it might've been if Miss Alice and Christy had phoned from Kentucky to inform Neil of the plan; but just left out the fact that Daniel Scott was black. :) *That* would've been interesting; because then Dr. MacNeill would've had no other excuse.
I agree with you.
We got one guy from Star Trek which is LeVar Burton's cuz I'm not stupid. Tyne Daly from Cagney & Lacey on the guy that plays McNeil I don't know
love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay another one! Yer awesome :)
How right you are. ;-)
So cute .
She can cook???
Which episode shows a burning house in the opening theme i've never seen that episode, this episode is the epitomy of racism what other reason could there be for allowing someone to read the medical book and not practice other than for him to assume that Dan Scott's not educated enough.
+Rebecca Meister The burning school house is in the Pilot episode.
Could you have been thinking of _The Hostage_?
It wasn't racism. And no one knew better than Dr. McNeil, who came from a poor mountain family, what it was to have people believe you were nothing but uneducated. One must watch the whole series to understand Dr. McNeil's view on Dan Scott who he came to highly respect.
First of all, he was not happy that Alice brought Dan there and just expected him to train him when he was so busy as it was.

So, yes. Neil was being cowardly and arrogant and selfish. But not racist.
Этот фильм есть на русском языке?

Oh goodness 😂
19 to go
@lexy1330 Thanks. 8-)

urgh darn it i can't decide between Neil and David.

She's very immature. I don't think it's an age thing, I think it's a stubbornness and self-delusion thing.
I can understand that. Back then it was common and normal for a man and woman to get married that far apart back in the day. Probably because the man was more mature and had more life experience and could support that young woman. But nowadays, getting married at that age difference would be weird.
