Artistic, poetic, whatever, license is a concept well familiar to this production, and reality thrown to the curb quite often. :)
I'm not sure I recall seeing Kristin actually drive the Mustang. (Maybe I'm just not remembering.) Most of the scenes are with the car stationary and/or on a moving trailer.....or upside down. :) They also do some in-studio stuff with a green screen behind the rear window. Kristin sells it all well regardless.
No doubt the forum females are now thinking why TF are these guys talking cars in this thread. :) Carry on.
Have never been a fan of Alistair and Rebecca...but we'll see what this brings
Love you for your patience with the storyline since it is not really your cup of tea corinne. I'm quite the romantic balanced with my fierce desire for justice so works like Wuthering Heights and similar period tales are moving to me. I love the emotional release. So if the story is properly portrayed it will hit me where I live and I'm all in.
Dave, I am very impressed with the banter you and Bill are having regarding the sexy beasts that Cat/Kristin more than adequately dominates in BATB. The forum can handle the testosterone. I have my own long standing memories of learning to drive in my beautiful dark blue Trans AM winding through the roads of Wisconsin.

Funny you should mention that, looks like the show makers heard you. 3x02...
They have shown her driving before, mostly in traffic, tooting her horn etc., but never a car chase. The above clip is the closest she's come to driving the car in anger. (For the gals who could care less about cars, "anger" as in a spirited fashion).

Yeah, but I'm not sure she's actually driving the car in those scenes. I think they might have the car on a trailer being pulled and/or in the studio doing some green screen work. You have to really look closely on those scenes and there's usually a clue that gives it away. Car scenes are very challenging to shoot and there is significant safety concern. A good question for Stu Gillard I think. :)

yeah in most BATB behind the scenes photos where they are in the car they are not really driving - most likely same here

Holy crap I'm behind! But I finally watched the premiere (and the 2nd one) and I thought it was really good! It was a solid ep all the way through. I'll be back tonight with some more thoughts on both eps...for my own amusement, of course.
Right, starting from season 2, Cat has been in the blue Mustang except for when she is in a car accident, then she is conveniently in a borrowed car (Catch Me if You Can) or in someone else's (Ever After)
Catherine was shown in at least 3 different cars in the first season. In the Pilot, she was driving a Dodge Charger, in the second and third episodes she was driving a KIA Sorrento, during the Alex arc, the Charger reappears and then the show must have gotten the KIA Optima deal along with their back 9 order cuz starting with Tough Love, Cat is shown in the Optima along with the prominent to blatant displays of the KIA logo, Optima dash, etc. Partners in Crime had that scene that might as well have been a car ad when Cat gets out of the car to talk to Tess. Even with the various Cat cars, the show still put her in Heather's clunker for the Bridesmaid Up accident.
A woman with an eye for the cars. Fantastic! To elaborate a bit more....the blue Mustang is actually a GT model....a 5.0 liter V8 under the hood. (Probably about 400 horsepower.) Cat should really drive a Jaguar F-type, but sadly, an NYPD detective wouldn't make the coin necessary.
I've been thinking about Cat's cars again.
Her dad, the one she grew up with, was well off and probably left her and Heather with a sizable estate after his passing. Cat probably could afford a Jaguar F-type if she wanted. But I don't think that car is Cat. She's too practical and likely wouldn't spend that kind of money on a high-end car even if she has the coin.
I think the Charger and Mustang are well suited for Cat. The cars are sporty and fast enough to catch the bad guys, something needed for her line of work. IMO, the muscle cars also match her kick butt personality. I personally prefer the Mustang over the Charger.
I'm going to dismiss the Kias because I think those cars were more product placement ads vs. being in line with the show. I will add that VinCat were in a BMW X5 SUV for the episode Ever After. I'm going to assume the Feds gave them that car as part of the witness protection deal package and it suited the house they also had in the suburbs. This makes me think about what kind of car VinCat or Vincent would have for their daily lives. Would a BMW X5 match VinCat now? I'm not so sure that they'd pick a BMW. That's really Gabe's brand, he drove a 7 series. I do see them in a SUV, probably an American brand, but something like a Toyota or VW wouldn't be out of place either.

I loved the episode! It was amazing! I've seen it four time already. I would love to have that first kiss in slow motion! It's amazing and hot, but have they dropped using tongue completely? I haven't seen that for a while compared to the early episodes and for some reason I really miss it. (I can't belief my focus points nowadays! )
The unsure look on V when proposing was just perfection on Jays part. I almost screamed yes before I remembered that he wasn't (unfortunately) proposing to me. I can't even say how much I love this show! Now I'm looking forward to give the show some official viewers when it finally comes available in hulu. We need to get a full fifth season and the fourth to air in Fall!
missingalias, I know that my post is way too late, but I only started to watch season 3 now and I totally agree with you! I also noticed that they dropped using their tongue completely and I don't understand why (Hahaha) ☺️. I think they have an amazing chemistry, no question about it, but their kisses have changed considerable ?I hope they will consider this in season 4 ?
I even mentioned to one of my friends that when she was dating Gabe, she was only kissing him like a bird. While with Vincent the kisses were so special and intense ☺️ hopefully they will reconsider the bird kisses ☺️

welcome aboard! better late than never. they did change a lot, didn't they! I'm sure it will be much better in season 4 though. Just a hunch.
Loved some parts of season three, didn't enjoy some parts that much. But these two are always amazing and that chemistry, although sometimes a bit missing, is still much much more than most tv couples ever have. now more heat and closeness when season 4 is here I hope. Only 9months to go! (trying to think positively.....and failing miserably.. :/ )
I know that probably we are the last State to air S3 and that there are few italian Beasties here but.... I'm very happy today because Fox Italia announced officially that S3 will air on May 26th !!! GOOD NEWS for us... and it is not yet denied that S4 will air right after. I thought there was a Thread about season airing but I haven0t found it... for moderator: if you have a better place for this post you could move it or let me know! It is important for us
