Ohhh... the way NIles is dressed here is so perfect for the scene. He looks like he's been through hell, yet manages to be stylish and quirky at the same time.
I really wasn't too partial to Donny...but that was one of the best proposals ever. The whole star thing got to me. That was just wow....Poor Niles though.
I remember when I saw this episode for the first time, and when Niles pulled out the dragon, my heart skipped a beat and I got so excited and sad at the same time xD
These moments make me think about other directions the story could have taken. What would have happened had Daphne declined Donny's proposal in the end?
No matter how many times I watch this, my heart clenches everytime i see Niles' facial expression. Every one of the actors on this show were amazing. Such a superb cast.
When Frasier says that his brother's attitude doesn't make him a friend to Daphne, well that just about sealed it ,because it is soo true. No matter what - Niles was wrong in doing what he did
ok I'm not a fan of Daphne/Donnie because she belongs with Niles but that proposal was AMAZING! :) also Martin is such a sweet dad! "I'd do anything to fix this for you"
Niles was vey brave to go back to Daphne and say what he did... especially his, "I can't tell you whether or not Donnie is the right person for you"... That is the mark of someone who truly loves someone else: someone who still advises them, though they know they could lose them depending on the advice they give. I don't think I'd be able to do that...
thank-you! thank-you! thank-you! this is my fav show of all time....and Niles and Daphne are the best couple ever too oh, and Donnie or Niles? not even a moments hesitation....NILES!!! Donnie is short,overweight and not very attractive(to me anyways) so glad they ended up together...
lol some one made a spoof of what niles is wearing, him having a shirt on saying "I *heart* SEAOMF" SEAOMF stands for "Scrambled eggs all over my face"
Niles shows his true brave nature here, when he talks to Daphne in the kitchen before Donnie arrives. It takes a lot of courage to do something like that, especially when you know it will crush you later. I know it's just a sitcom, but it's based off of real-life scenarios... Niles is a true man for doing what he is doing here.
I love all the casts in this show. I like to replay some of the scenes multiple times, each time focusing on one of the characters and I must say, they really brought the characters alive. Like Frasier and Martin being surprised by Niles and Daphne coming out of the kitchen and Martin talking in a deeper voice sounding like he was about to tear a little talking to Niles in the kitchen. I am definitely buying the DVD for this show once I graduate and get a job lol.
@flybyth Good analyses! :) And focusing on one character at a time is a really good idea. I often find that I have to replay a few seconds of some scenes because I was focusing too much on one character and not enough on another... So your idea makes sense.
@BeierFilms You're right, they're very underappreciated... And then you get people who can't act as well - like Kristen Stewart - who get all the awards (and before I get attacked by Twilight fans, I am a big Twilight fan myself - I've reread New Moon, Eclipse, and now Breaking Dawn, and I do love the movies. I just think Kristen Stewart does not match the Bella in my head. So please don't ridicule me for having my own opinion.). Anyways, they should be more appreciated for the work they do.
oh gosh. this is the first episode that made me cry. I love Niles and Daphne and they MUST end up together, but Donny really is a very sweet man. His proposal is what started the tears and then seeing Niles' face just made it that much worse.
"The only man good enough for you would scoop the stars out of the sky with his hat and lay them at your feet... Well, I've only caught this one so far, but if you'll accept it, I'll spend my life chasing down the rest of them for you."
Oh my gosh, Donny... his proposal was so lovely... :(
Think it through before you write...Remember when Martin was talking to Ronnie, Niles and Frasier were in the room. .. They were speaking about when their father took them to go camping EVERY SUMMER. In my opinion both Niles and Frasier were too different for Martin, thus the boys kinda distanced themselves from him. Preferring their sphychologist mother.
They never explicitly make Donny a Jewish character, but it is pretty obvious that was the inspiration. He is a friendly but intelligent lawyer with a knack for situational chutzpah. He was an overprotective mother ("Legal Tender Love and Care"), and the actor who plays him exhibits several stereotypical Ashkenazi physical traits.
I was just joking that assuming Donny is supposed to be Jewish, his engagement to Daphne is reason for Niles to turn anti-semitic.

He was not a great father if you average it out over the course of his sons' lives. He may be a good father when they are adults, but his lack of parental skills before "Frasier" (the show) started are often discussed. Recall "Rooms with a View" where Martin pushes his interests of Archie comics on a completely uninterested Niles. This sort of thing was mentioned throughout the series. "It seems someone is forgetting sending Niles and me off to Boy Scout Camp to earn our 'Opera Badges!"
"Pushing his interests of Archie comics"? I noticed the scene you're referring to, but I interpreted in a very different way. In fact, I quite related to it, as my parents try to do a lot of "nice" things for me that are completely off-base with my interests.
...All parents do. The scene with the Archie comics merely endeared Martin to me even further. It shows he still sees Niles as his little boy, regardless of the years.
You have to remember that his sons were rather poor sons before they became adults as well so it was more of them playing off of each others' bad traits and then making up for it after all three matured.
I have never seen Frasier that angry. Now the question is was he more angry at Niles on a professional level for misleading Daphne, or on a personal level for trying to manipulate Daphne? Either way, it shows a side to his character rarely seen where he plays the roll of big brother to Niles that isn't immature, but rather like the secondary father that big brothers tend to be.
I thought that Frasier thought Niles had finally crossed the line with his behavior toward Daphne.
If you'll notice, he was always "checking" Niles when Niles would do things like try to follow Daphne into her room or act all love-lorn, etc.
This time, the only difference is, Niles had, in Frasier's mind, finally crossed the line into impropriety. Added on top of that was his transgression of their professional ethics. So I think it was a bit of both.
the best show bar none.full of brilliant moments like this,great acting,c omedy ,its got it all, i could re run the niles daphne stuff,the almost told her bits,all day! superb!
That hurt me to watch that to happen to Niles. Martin was very tactful to his son and it must have hurt him to ...I don't know anymore. If I were Niles and my dad said that to me, I would be at the bottom of a bottle, never wanting to come out. I'd be resentful but Niles, for lack of physical strength which brings out his comical side, his ethics, morals, his principles are so strong that it sets apart from other people.
In character wise, David is brilliant of bringing out the character of Niles. The slightest twitch and everything. Very inspiring. The same goes to all the cast and also the guest star, Saul as Donny.
Could the red bow tie possibly symbolise Niles "tying the knot" in the future, red indicating a threatened marriage? Is the dragon in Daphne's vision really Mel? (If so, would that not make the last scene (Roz's gift) superfluous?)
Donnie's proposal was actually very sweet. I like it that they made him a likable character, even though he's Niles's main rival over Daphne's love. It would have been easier but much less interesting if they'd made Donnie a complete jerk. That way Niles and Daphne getting together never seemed too obvious.
How hard for Niles to have to watch the woman he loved from afar get engaged to another man. He should of told her he loved her in the kitchen. This episode proves that she was psychic. Thanks for the vid!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That maybe so, but Niles tendancy to torpedo Daphnes relationships, even when he was married to Maris, made him less likeable for me. He seemed like a bully. Eventhough it turned out fine after all.
Even tho Niles truly loved Daphne, he was wrong for not being honest with her about his attitudes towards ESP and his true intentions for Daphne. It would be different if Daphne actually reciprocated Niles' feelings...but because she only saw him as a friend, Niles had no right to sway her into believing he was the right man for her. That's something only Daphne could know for herself once Niles HONESTLY admitted his feelings.
Yeah and he realizes that and makes up for it by swaying her to go to Donnie as hard as it is for him to do and in the end he still does the right thing.
The last scene seems like it was filmed without the studio audience present. There's no reaction.

How hard for Niles to have to watch the woman he loved from afar get engaged to another man. He should of told her he loved her in the kitchen. This episode proves that she was psychic. Thanks for the vid!

The part when Donny is proposing to Daphne always makes me cry. I cannot stand to look at Niles. His expression is just too heartbreaking. :[

That maybe so, but Niles tendancy to torpedo Daphnes relationships, even when he was married to Maris, made him less likeable for me. He seemed like a bully. Eventhough it turned out fine after all.

As much as I dont like Donnie, I must say- that proposal was quite breathtaking. Very moving.

@Cypresswhisker2 I agree. I only hope that my proposal to my future fiancée will bear even a striking resemblance to Donny's proposal to Daphne.

Even tho Niles truly loved Daphne, he was wrong for not being honest with her about his attitudes towards ESP and his true intentions for Daphne. It would be different if Daphne actually reciprocated Niles' feelings...but because she only saw him as a friend, Niles had no right to sway her into believing he was the right man for her. That's something only Daphne could know for herself once Niles HONESTLY admitted his feelings.

wow...that's really deep. very true 2!
i love this show! Niles loves Daphne so much and she barely even sees him.

Yeah and he realizes that and makes up for it by swaying her to go to Donnie as hard as it is for him to do and in the end he still does the right thing.

Whatever Niles' motivation, he was right to encourage Daphne to go with her gut instincts and do what was right for her.
