Post Scripts: A Postable's Wish List

6/29/2015

There are a few plot points from the series I'm still waiting to see fulfilled.

Could we also maybe get Becky back, too, please?

1. Let's get out of town!

I don't know about you, but I still haven't forgotten that, while in town, Becky Starkwell turned the Postables into a Special Task Force with wide powers of discretion and a travel budget!

When are we going to see our Postables visit the beautiful shores of Portland, Maine or make a trip to Washington, D.C.? I could only dream of where Martha could take the team and what might cause them to venture outside Colorado state lines!

And, if they do stop by the nation's capital, I would love to see Shane and Becky do a girls-only lunch for a status update about Oliver. Oh, how much there is to tell!

With two more movies on deck for the remainder of 2015 and good authority on news regarding 2016, this Postable got to thinking---aren't there some things from 2014 we still haven't seen yet?

Could Rita go all the way & win it all at the National Pageant?

2. The National Pageant

Now that Rita's reign as Miss Special Delivery 2014 is coming to a close, isn't it about time she competed in the National Pageant? We know there has to be one because in "A Hope & A Future," Norman told his grandmother that if Rita won, she would be on a whirlwind world tour for a year.

I'm not an expert on pageant cycles, but shouldn't it be around the corner? I think it would be fun to see her compete. And, if she won, it would be a nice plot point to see if Rita would take the title and year-long tour to fulfill the duties of her office, consequently leaving Norman behind, or choose to stay at the DLO. Could you imagine if Norman decided to leave the DLO and follow Rita? So many possibilities on both sides!

So while we don't know what's on tap for movies 2 and 3 yet, these are few things I'm hoping Martha and company have revisited for the end of 2015. If not, there's always 2016!

What would you like to see from upcoming SSD movies? And I don't mean, kisses, engagements or weddings--- those are a given! Leave your suggestions in the comments. You never know who might see them!

Itching to Travel,
~C

I'm thinking the next movie will cover just that - the Postables traveling to Washington, DC for the National pageant, with a postal mystery (perhaps they'll be asked to solve one in DC?)

i love the idea of the POstables traveling! What a great idea! I believe i saw some pics from Eric Mabius in a very beautiful but also very woodsy / mountainous area. So the next movie appears to not be set in a big city though they could be fooling us. My wish is for more guest stars that are like little love notes from Martha to old friends. Della, Valerie, and even Carol Burnett (did you know she wrote for the Carol Burnett Show - how cool is that?) And I definitely agree that Becky and Shane have some catching up to do...no matter what happens there are some things we know for sure...1. We are all counting down the days 2. It will be amazing because this cast and crew doesn't deliver less

Yes to all of these things. They are definitely still in Colorado for the film airing in September. The proof, as you say, is in the pictures! I was aware that Martha wrote for the Carol Burnett Show, and it would be nice to see her pull in some more old friends if possible!

And as for the wait---totally worth it, I'm sure!

If they go to DC, they should visit the National Postal Museum & the Pony Express exhibit. And at some point Oliver or Norman should buy flowers for Shane or Rita so we can see how Bobby & Ellie are doing. :)
We need to know more about Shane's past. Becky made a comment about her & unavailable men. We need to know more. And what about Rita? Don't know much about her childhood either.

I actually wrote a fanfic about them going to the National Postal Museum haha. I visited myself recently and found the experience very enlightening and plan to cover it on the blog in the near future!

Yes, to a return of Becky and Norman's grandmother ! Becky definitely needs an update from Shane. And considering how Norman felt about his grandmother, I can't imagine him never seeing her again.

Yes, to buying flowers from Bobby and Ellie's flower shop and seeing how they are doing !

Yes, to a trip to the National Postal Museum ! This time with a happy ending. ;)

Yes, to the national Miss Special Delivery pageant !

Yes, to more family backgrounds. We know that Norman's bio mother is dead, he has a grandmother, plus a forever family and LOTS of cousins. Rita's family is in New Mexico and her mother sounds like a bit of a kook. We know next to nothing about Shane's mother, her father is gone. We know nothing about Oliver except for his grandfather who worked at the post office. At some point, as these relationships progress - Oliver and Shane, Norman and Rita - it would only be natural for them to get to know the other's family.

I am definitely all about meeting the parents! There's so much background we're missing, but slowly receiving regarding childhoods. I would very much like to learn more about Rita's. I feel like hers hasn't been addressed much besides that little bit we learned about her mother in the first episode! So many possibilities!

I thought of two other things I'd like to see happen :

1. Oliver singing in the church choir and/or Oliver and Shane going to church together.

2. We've seen the exterior of Shane's house but don't know anything about the others. I'm thinking particularly of Oliver's house and that he needs to move. I can't imagine down the line when he and Shane marry, that he would bring her into the same house that he shared with Holly. Or that she would want to live there. So, I think he needs to buy a new house - one with a nice big porch so there is room for a swing. <3
