Maelstrom

I’m assuming she decided to work the new job remotely from Argentina. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree that overall it was a good final season. A few of the biggest problems I've had with this since season 4 carried through, unfortunately - the Sunfire elves being disconnected from everything else and therefore hard to care about, Claudia winning every challenge far too easily, and why the hell is Terry even with Claudia in the first place? But I was so happy to see Runaan freed and reunited with his family, and Terry's long-overdue defection to the good side was likewise a moment to cheer. Everything came together by the end for a pretty epic showdown (though I think I still prefer season 3's big showdown more) and I was happy to see so many past characters return, whether in brief cameos or in larger parts. The story thread of Claudia and Aaravos becoming surrogate family to one another made sense given their histories, and the groundwork was certainly laid for that in past seasons - I only wish that this had been explored more throughout the last few seasons, as it would have made the ending much more poignant, and been a hell of a lot more interesting than most of the pointless and juvenile crap they gave us with Claudia and Terry. They certainly left it open for sequels/reboots down the line, though for now I'm content to call this the end. Overall it's been a fun show and I'm glad I watched - when it's good, it's so good, and when it's bad, boy is it a mess. Thanks for the fun and the magic, Dragon Prince, and for all of Soren's entertainingly quotable non sequiturs. Oh, and was not expecting the Dante Basco cameo (aka Prince Zuko) as the voice of Zym!

Fixed that for you 😉 (it was unfortunate for Show that those stupid scenes aired during the Olympics, because I can't see Kristina's "fall" as anything other than a medal-worthy gymnastics vault). So, this is the appropriate way to grieve in PC? Why not go the Poochie route a la Simpsons?

Bad form to quote myself, I know, but I stand by this statement. Also, looks like Adam withdrew from GPF because of his ankle injury 😢 https://olympics.com/en/news/grand-prix-final-2024-figure-skating-adam-siao-him-fa-withdraws-injury

I know, between Roman's hair and Rebecca's it's hard to say whose hair is more glorious.

Or cult leaders. Willow's got ISSUES. My thoughts exactly. Whenever they've mentioned or brought on anyone from the other two shows it only ends up ruining them, and at this point I would rather keep my memories of all I enjoyed from AMC & OLTL over the decades I watched them.

I'm recording the 2 hr highlights reel from NBC right now but haven't watched it yet - do they actually show C/B's free dance? The past few weeks it's only been the top singles skaters, with no dance or pairs in sight. (Have I mentioned lately that NBC sucks?) I agree the sound has definitely been off in all of the arenas so far, tinny and shrill. Add in the Idiot Twins chattering endlessly and it really does make one grab for the mute button. Japan's really been dominating the singles scene so far this season, looks like it's going to be an exciting GP final.

Which is why I want them to undo this dumb retconned storyline, the way they undid the Finn/Chase paternity bs, so Sasha and Cody are no longer related. Contrary to what other soaps like GL and Days may think, incest isn’t sexy 🤢 ETA - count me in the Brad fan club too! I’ve never understood the arbitrariness of people like Brad and Ava and Nina being beyond redemption while liars and schemers like Carly are revered as saints. It’s infuriating.

I feel ya! I've never enjoyed bathroom humor at all in any context, and yet somehow my rantings about Michael always end up scatological (for instance, Michael is a giant bag of crap in the shape of a man). Which makes me hate him even more. NOOOOOOOO!! On both counts. Sasha deserves better than being saddled with a kid with the giant bag of crap in the shape of a man, and yet it'd be heartless to wish for a tock after all Sasha's been through. And the odds of her surviving a fling with Jason aren't great either (just look at Sam and Britt). Why can't they just forget undo this BS paternity story, like they did with Chase and Finn, and just put her back with Cody? I really liked them together. The writers are great at selective amnesia when it suits them, why can't this be one of those times? Please?

As Flower would say, the lack of Sass in this ep was a real bummer, man. In my mind, he somehow won a full day's worth of "sitting in the shaft of sunlight" rights, and spent the entire episode upstairs enjoying the sun and the relative quiet. I can imagine Thor's summary of the day when Sass turns back up: "Patience put Sam on trial, and we voted her a witch. Then she turned into statue and small man sold her to strange man who nearly exploded her, and then her head fell off, and oh! You must watch video with watermelon, is very good! Patience went back into dirt, and Sam no longer statue. Was fun day."

My personal theory is that Jay takes some super strong cold medicine that leaves him able to see the ghosts while it's in his system 😆

Ryan Paevey actually tweeted/posted sometime earlier this year that he's no longer working with Hallmark - some kind of falling out, though he's never given details. And turns out he's been acting as a caregiver to his mother 😢 Hopefully in time he can get to a better place emotionally and mentally. https://heavy.com/entertainment/hallmark/ryan-paevey-acting-mom-cancer-update/

Just caught up on two whole hours of Skate Canada we were so generously given (thanks NBC 🙄) and why for the love of all that's holy did Tara have to yammer nonstop during Kaori's entire FS? 🤬 Can someone at NBC please muzzle her? Enough already! STFU Tara!

Me too, JMO - I usually end up saying “Nikolas” and “little Nikolas” 😆

I'm so far behind but I've been stalking the thread so I know when KeMo's last day is. And from everything I've read on here, I can't say I actually want to watch any of it (I just finished the ep with Brad telling Lucas to get that mole checked, which was really the only thing that sounded remotely entertaining). But even without seeing today's ep I'm already crying over Sam's death. It's just so stupid, short-sighted, and deliberately petty to kill her off. I've been a fan of KeMo since her PC days, and I've liked Sam in her non-Jason storylines. Though it was painful watching her be so flat and lifeless during the JaSam years when SB sucked out her life force like the Black Hole of personality that he is, once she was finally freed from his orbit it made me remember all over again why I'd liked her for so long. Best of luck to you, Kelly, and wishing you the very best as you move forward! ❤️
