Part of that was my own laziness, because I didn't want to bring more clips than I had to into iMovie :)
*laughs* Reminds me of learning to edit on 16mm film - *actual* film, with the razors and tape and everything. It was nervewracking, but you really learned deliberation in choosing your shots. Laziness has the same effect, apparently! ;)
Romance works best for me when it works hand-in-hand with the other aspects of a story
Not to mention, hand-in-hand with characterization! Melodrama is antithetical to Olivia's personality, and I always think of the pilot, where she wasn't able to tell John "I love you" until well after he told her, and after bracing herself up for it. Peter could easily have a drama queen streak, I think...but not in a relationship with Olivia.
