It was the haircut seen — and loathed — around the world. After scoring great ratings and reviews in its first season, J.J. Abrams' Felicity made a choice more shocking than any twist seen on Lost: producers decided Keri Russell should cut her famous long, curly hair, shooting ratings down straight into a Dharma hatch.
But there's something even more shocking about Felicity: just how unhinged the series was in the first place. In our latest episode of TV. Watch. Repeat., my co-host Allison Piwowarski and I revisit the pilot and the history of the series, and deeply question Felicity's life decisions. Plus, we find out about Abrams' high school inspiration for the show, and how a harmless prank nearly killed the series altogether.
