I actually applaud this development because I am so sick of the never-ending "Kristen is obsessed with Brady storyline." I also kind of just enjoy that Alex likes to have his fun. It would be funny if Kristen transfers her obsessions to Alex, of all people. LOL I actually kind of miss Dimitri but I doubt he's actually coming back. I want to like this DID storyline but there's going to need to be a bit more development of how Bobby and Everett are different from each other.

I vote that she stays with Rafe. I've always liked him the most when he's being a surrogate dad.

I kind of wonder if that's the reason why there's been a pretty tepid reaction to this movie. I think a lot of people were thinking it was going to be an actual war movie, instead of what you actually get. I don't know though, I like that we get to breathe for stretches of the movie and that it's not a constant war movie like Dunkirk.

Yeah, I'm wracking my brain and I can't think of anyone who was more than a couple of years out of their teens. Ashley Puzemis was 23 when she started playing Holly. Maybe that's why it's so jarring with New Tate.

They were pretending they were together so that Harris would get pissed off and back off on hovering around Ava as they were trafficking drugs, but it didn't work. Eventually they just went and had sex.

I get the reason why the show doesn't display singing chops as much as they did in the Last Chance Blast Days when they actually had the budget to license pop music, but yeah- it would be easy to let Tate show off his karate skills.

To put this in perspective, I was 11 years old in the summer of 1997. This is when Kristen was parading Baby EJ around as John's. By 2006, I was 20 years old and EJ was at least 26-27.

With all the jokes about how old New Tate is, it makes me wonder- who was the oldest Salem "Teen"? Any guys over 30 playing a teen character? We did have a 29-year old Peter Reckell playing Bo, but his character was meant to be like 21 so he wouldn't count. I also don't think Austin was actually a teenager when he showed up, but early 20's. I could be wrong on Austin, though. But if I'm remembering right, he was a 21-year old hanging out with the teen characters, similar to Brady in the early 2000's.

I really hope it's for her scenes where she reveals that she knew about Leo and Dimitri. That was gold, and it was a great closing arc for her character.

God, Ron just loves his DID characters.

That monologue kind of illustrated to me that Scott Foley just isn't good of an actor despite Neve Campbell really trying to elevate that scene. Scream 3 in my opinion was hampered by two fundamental problems- forced rewrites because of the Columbine shootings happening just before they started production, and the Ghostface being played by an actor that just wasn't that good. Especially with that storyline of there only being one Ghostface- you needed to have a Ghostface that could bring the pathos, and I don't think Scott Foley did. I still love that reveal but I kind of wish they had cast Matt Keeslar instead as Roman Bridger. Or hell, Patrick Dempsey might have been too old but I bet he could have brought it. (He kind of does later on in the movie

I basically took the whole thing as the Ukraine/Russian war transferred to the United States. (I did some research and it looks like they began principal photography as the war in Ukraine started, and I thought a lot of the visuals seemed to match a lot about what was coming on tv at the time.) I was semi-spoiled so I knew one of the two women were going to die, but it was still a pretty shocking moment when it finally happened.

Okay, I'm going to give wardrobe props for putting Johnny and Chanel in 1970's winter clothing as a nod to Doug and Julie's hey day as a super couple.

I remember when he first showed up with that nervous laugh I was really unsure about him, but he's really made the role his own.

If we're lucky, this show will decide to utilize his karate skills. That could be awesome. This dude should have been a Power Ranger. I do wonder if the person posting about Tate is someone that has a thing for Holly. That could be interesting.
