—— the story of Kyle XY & Jessi XX



Jessi剛剛出場的時(shí)候我是不喜歡她的。
就像大多數(shù)以先入為主善始善終為上的人一樣，超人少年就應(yīng)該和第一眼喜歡上的鄰家女孩在一起，完成現(xiàn)實(shí)中不可能的純真愛戀。
少年有干凈清澈的眼睛；而第一眼女孩往往近水樓臺(tái)，美麗善良，她的生活一片平靜優(yōu)雅，沒有鉤心斗角，亦沒有危機(jī)四伏。
Amanda就是這樣的角色。叫人一見傾心是如此輕而易舉。
純潔天使的組合亦是自然而然。

之后出現(xiàn)的Jessi，她的后來居上在劇終時(shí)顯得無懈可擊。
就像在劇里努力獲得Kyle的感情一樣，我心中的天平也漸漸為之傾斜。
她是這般特別，使我第一次完全受降于女二號。

要強(qiáng)的女孩總是不如清純那么討喜。可是怎樣才是真正的純真？
是心無雜念？亦或心有雜念卻毫不掩飾？
我們都知道只有小孩子才能夠想要什么就清楚表明自己想要什么。
從天賜第二季Jessi的“出世”開始，就注定了一段坎坷被忽略的人生旅途。
人性的光明和陰暗取決于他和她成長的環(huán)境。
Kyle是白天，Jessi是黑夜
因?yàn)镵yle睜眼遇上的是蛇，她睜眼遇上的是妄圖侵犯她的人類；
因?yàn)镵yle得到了家庭的溫暖，她只有為了得益反復(fù)將她頭腦程序化的集團(tuán)。
因?yàn)镵yle的誕生是受人矚目的希望，她的出生卻從未被認(rèn)可，被當(dāng)作一場失敗的實(shí)驗(yàn)錯(cuò)誤。
唯一的母親終于回來認(rèn)領(lǐng)她了，在即將啟程開始一段嶄新人生的前一秒她卻為了幫助心上人英雄救美而擱下自己的母親，最終導(dǎo)致了母親落單遇害。

Amanda的完美在這樣的襯托之下開始變得單薄無力，一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)失去了人情味。
她的確美麗善良又端莊，又是鋼琴又是貞節(jié)牌坊，完美清純得天衣無縫，連一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)也找不出來。
Kyle總是毫無怨言的為她付出討她歡心，千方百計(jì)的保護(hù)她還得想方設(shè)法瞞天過海。
與Jessi的奮不顧身一味付出相比，Amanda的義正詞嚴(yán)處處得理變得好像得了便宜還賣乖一般讓人覺得厭煩。

Jessi這樣無依無靠的女孩卻能夠如此勇敢，為了母親和愛人能夠不顧一切自我犧牲；
Jaimie Alexander，Jessi的扮演者更是將這樣一種矛盾壓抑的情感表現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。
她因?yàn)閻廴说呐紶柎箲z而難掩笑意的嘴角，小動(dòng)物一樣的眉眼流露出純真野性與濃得化不開的愛恨分明和隱忍決然；
一種不被理解缺乏關(guān)懷而造成的孤獨(dú)落寞，以及乖僻強(qiáng)勢背后的黯然傷懷叫人無法不心疼。
明明已經(jīng)一無所有卻仍然能夠義無返顧的為喜歡的人付出且付出得如此毫無保留心甘情愿。
在這樣的執(zhí)著面前，她為了得到愛情而付出的努力難道還應(yīng)該受到指摘嗎。

有多少個(gè)女孩會(huì)愿意為了喜歡的人照顧保護(hù)他的女朋友不止一次，盡管難耐心底的失落？
有多少個(gè)女孩會(huì)愿意為了喜歡的人送舞會(huì)的晚禮服給他的女朋友，自己卻明明不會(huì)參加？
Amanda 做得到嗎？
Amanda收下Jessi代替Kyle送來的禮服時(shí)理所當(dāng)然的姿態(tài)有多少人注意到了，
可是Jessi為了獲得愛情的“陰暗” 想法卻被多少人指責(zé)為不擇手段。
如果有這樣的一個(gè)人這般對待自己，面對這樣坦率直接的真情流露，又有多少人會(huì)不被打動(dòng)呢。

也許就像Trager爸爸對Josh說的，我們在起初的期許未必是我們最終真正需要或是合適自己的。
Amanda是懵懂的年少初戀，代表著人生最初全部的美好清澈，卻太脆弱太經(jīng)不住現(xiàn)實(shí)。
Jessi代表的卻是一段逐漸成熟的感情，其中包涵了完全的理解，充分的信任和患難與共彼此扶持的責(zé)任感。
所以Kyle才會(huì)覺得A的吻如同蝴蝶從心底飛過的輕柔，J的吻卻好似電流擊中全身的強(qiáng)烈。
這里的暗示已經(jīng)太過明顯了，那代表著成人欲望的情感成分悄然浮現(xiàn)，是 Kyle和Jessi都尚未意識到的。

超人的故事就此喊停，第四季也許不會(huì)拍了，也許再拍也會(huì)像編劇在采訪時(shí)所說的，Kyle究竟與誰在一起是最難回答的問題。
也許他與Jessi會(huì)在短期內(nèi)感情持續(xù)升溫，但長久看來是一場過于強(qiáng)烈而導(dǎo)致自我毀滅的關(guān)系；
相反Amanda在經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間的自我探索和成長之后逐漸對事實(shí)有了更多了解，或許能夠成為Kyle的避風(fēng)港和心靈歸屬；
又或許，這樣的一個(gè)救世英雄注定要孑然一身渡世濟(jì)眾，而Amanda和Jessi之間注定有一人會(huì)為之犧牲，
因?yàn)閷τ诠适氯藗冇肋h(yuǎn)堅(jiān)持先來后到的規(guī)律，因?yàn)樵诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中它也是難以做到的。

對個(gè)人來說，我更希望Kyle與Jessi在一起。因?yàn)楸绕痧B(yǎng)尊處優(yōu)的Amanda，歷經(jīng)千辛的她更值得Kyle去呵護(hù)。
如果說一場愛情里的男女主角是對手戲的話，只有KJ的組合才真正有對手的效果；而我也很難把KA 想象成對手。
如果Jessi從未出現(xiàn)，那么KA應(yīng)該有個(gè)圓滿的結(jié)尾，
可是如果因?yàn)橄葋砗蟮降墓适乱?guī)則或是追求牽強(qiáng)附會(huì)的現(xiàn)實(shí)悲劇效果而要讓Kyle和Jessi最后也必須重蹈覆轍，像他們的生父生母Adam和Sarah一樣因?yàn)橹茉舛荒芙Y(jié)合的話，我寧愿永遠(yuǎn)不要有第四季。


還記得那首Adam和Sarah將希望寄與后來的歌這樣唱道：


I wouldn't even know
She could be you
But that was long ago
She could be you.

很少有一部科幻題材影片能這么的溫馨，KYLE XY除了科幻、懸疑外，個(gè)人認(rèn)為最大的亮點(diǎn)是每一集中所推崇的家庭觀和愛情觀，trager一家就像“成長的煩惱”里一樣，天天發(fā)生的各種“事端”，而kyle也在這些“事端”中逐漸學(xué)會(huì)什么是家庭，什么是愛～～

還記得那首Adam和Sarah將希望寄與后來的歌這樣唱道：

I wouldn't even know
She could be you
But that was long ago
She could be you.

ABC Family: In the last episode, Jessi says she's "broken." Is she really "broken" or was she designed to be a killer?

Julie: Jessi truly is 'broken'. One of the big themes we felt it was important to explore in the show was the idea of nature vs nurture. In that context, did Kyle and Jessi both have the same chance when they were 'born' and did circumstance dictate who ended up "good"? Or is there a more spiritual element attached to both characters --- in that is Kyle a truly pure soul and Jessi a dark one? That's a question that we would have continued to explore throughout the life of the series --- watching poor Jessi as she struggled to be as good as Kyle....and watching Kyle as life experience and the harsh realities of the world as we know it infiltrated his good, pure soul. But in no way was Jessi ever designed to be bad from birth. Latnok, in all their misguided efforts, genuinely believed that they wanted to make the world a better place. They just had a peculiar way of going about it. In a lot of ways, Jessi never had a chance. Her mother was psychologically troubled. Her entrance into the world was devastating. And her first couple days, before Madacorp planted her with a life of memories, were cold and stark. But deep inside lies a vulnerable girl --- like any human --- who just wanted to be loved unconditionally.

ABC Family: What was going to happen with all those clones? An army of handsome, healing, responsible, kind heroes sounds great, but we're just wondering if there was some other, darker motivation.

Julie: As we saw throughout the series with characters like Brian Taylor, Professor Kern and Ballantine, certain individuals' agendas can corrupt the common goal of an institution. While we believe that the 'old world' Latnok had benevolent intentions, the minute you put that much power (playing God) into someone's hands, things can go horribly awry. There is a faction within Latnok, led by Kyle's genetic mother, that intended to sell the Kyle clones to the highest bidder --- using the actual Kyle as an example of how magnificent their experiment could be. Though Kyle successfully destroyed the formula, it's still filed away in his head as a result of the information he uploaded from Zyzzx while he was still in the pod. As Cassidy stated, he would stop at nothing to get that information back. The next season would have involved putting Nicole and Jessi into a situation where, in order to save Kyle's life, they give Cassidy what he wants. But they could never tell Kyle what they did, so they would be bonded together by the secret they have to keep from him.

ABC Family: In the end of the series, Kyle wasn't with either Jessi or Amanda. So, would Kyle be with Jessi or would Kyle be with Amanda? Does he get to be with his soul mate? Are both his soul mates? What's the significance of the butterflies and the electricity?

Julie: The "who will Kyle end up with" question is a question we have a hard time answering, because in our opinion a true hero is often destined to end up alone. Had this show run for five more years, Kyle would have likely ended up with neither, knowing that he couldn't fulfill his true destiny as a prophet by living a normal relationship life like everyone else. But in the short-term, we absolutely believed that Kyle and Jessi's relationship would have continued to develop. It would have been complicated, passionate, volatile, and ultimately self-destructive. Once Amanda had a chance to grow up beyond her sheltered life --- probably when she entered college and embarked on that journey of self-discovery that every young adult goes through --- she and Kyle would have re-discovered each other and entered into a relationship that was more than just innocent puppy love. But when all is said and done, Kyle would have embarked on his post-series journey alone, hopefully in a beautiful poetic way.

ABC Family: Would Tom Foss always be a part of Kyle's life?

Julie: Tom Foss would have always remained a part of Kyle's life, but Tom Foss's demons are that he lost his wife and daughter. Eventually, Kyle would have paved the way to help Foss live the life that he thought he'd never have again. Kyle would have 'freed' Foss from the responsibility of protecting him in order to ensure that Foss could find happiness. We wanted to pass the torch over time from Foss to Declan. Declan, always searching for an answer to where he 'fits' in Kyle's life, would have gone to Foss to learn how to be Kyle's protector.

ABC Family: Cassidy being Kyle's brother is a HUGE revelation... Were there going to be other revelations of this kind? Is Kyle related to any of the other characters? Was Cassidy lying just to save his own life?

Julie: Cassidy and Kyle share the same genetic mother. Cassidy wasn't lying. No one else is related (as far as I know). The David and Goliath relationship between Cassidy and Kyle would have been a large part of next season. While they're connected by blood, they're in opposition to each other. That would have let us continue to explore one of our other favorite themes of this show: what defines "family"?

ABC Family: Is Adam really dead or would he have come back in a future episode like Foss?

Julie: May Adam Baylin rest in peace. But we always would have had the ability to have him appear to Kyle in Kyle's mind, much like he did in second season's "Lockdown."

ABC Family: What happens to Andy and Josh? Would they stay together, even though she moved away and is only on webcam (yay, Declan!)?

Julie: Josh and Andy would have explored the treacherous waters known as the 'long-distance relationship.' They would have broken up, gotten back together, gone to the same college, transferred to different colleges, broken up again, gotten back together again, dated other people, and finally gotten married and lived happily ever after. Josh and Andy were our favorite relationship as writers, hands down. We truly contemplated having Andy's cancer return and having Josh lose her, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to shut the door on Andy, or the actress Magda Apanowich (even though she's going off to do Caprica) because we loved those two characters way too much to ever say goodbye.

ABC Family: What about Declan and Lori? Would they continue to be friends?

Julie: Declan and Lori, believe it or not, would ultimately end up together. But before that, Lori would head off to New York to pursue a music career and Declan would have gone off on a training sojourn with Foss. After several years of difficult life experience, Lori would return to Seattle and follow in her mother's footsteps, enrolling in school to study psychology --- realizing that it's her true calling. Declan will always have two priorities --- Lori and Kyle. For Battlestar Gallactica fans, he's Colonel Tighe to Admiral Odama. Declan would assume protection of Kyle from Foss and be his best friend and fiercest protector for life. Lori would be the only woman who could understand that, because she feels just as strongly about Kyle.

ABC Family: Most importantly, how does it end?!?!?

Julie: How does it end? In the broadest terms, Kyle embarks on a quest across the world with the sole mission of helping people. Creating food where people are starving....inventing energy sources that don't destroy the environment....stabilizing areas of the world that live in conflict....being a good person --- and letting his goodness impact others. Call him Mother Teresa, call him Bill Clinton, call him Gandhi --- it was Kyle's destiny to make the world a better place. And it's because the Tragers took him in and loved him unconditionally, that he would have been able to do it. How would it have ended if we had one more episode? I wish I knew. We were only just getting started on all the stories left to tell about Kyle XY.

On behalf of myself, all the writers, producers and the cast, we're very grateful that we had the opportunity to do this show and to tell Kyle's story. The fans' loyalty and passion for the show was like nothing any of us had ever experienced. It was a true gift....so thank you.

      當(dāng)然，我不是指沒有解釋清楚的所謂同母的兄弟，我說的是Kyle和Amanda的關(guān)系。
      此片第一季很棒，第二季的拖沓和很多硬傷幾乎毀了這部劇，第三季很多地方更是離譜，我?guī)缀醪幌肟聪氯チ?。而讓我看完第三季的?dòng)力就是Kyle和Amanda的關(guān)系發(fā)展。
      第三季最后幾集，Amanda終于明白了Kyle的心意。其實(shí)她一直都沒有懷疑過Kyle，只是嫉妒心作祟，再加上Kyle的隱瞞，使Amanda沒有足夠的勇氣下定決心和Kyle在一起。最后終于有證據(jù)能讓Amanda下定決心了。這至少給了我希望。
      但是，如果考慮更多的東西（比如傳說的最終結(jié)局劇情），很可能Kyle是孤獨(dú)一生的。所以，與其有一個(gè)令人不快的結(jié)局，我更喜歡這個(gè)充滿希望的結(jié)尾。
