My biggest wish for this possible (probable) final season of The Royals is that Willow gain the upper hand on Robert. I think she and Helena's assistant are the most clever, capable people on the show. It would also be nice if it has a closed ending and not a cliffhanger. I'm still surprised at how much I truly enjoy every aspect of The Royals. The sheer madness of it is entertaining and appealing. But...that atrocity Eleanor had on with the pentagram harness and lace trimmed curtain sheers...WTF?

I picked the wrong day to dip back into this BS. None of my selected quake victims are even close to deceased. So the whole point of the quake was to rehab unpleasant characters and dumb down Sam and Liz? No thanks, I'll have none of that. I'm back to daily delete until you guys tell me something interesting or amusing is happening. Holla when Robert gets here.

The earthquake is a result of the Hellmouth opening to receive escaped demons. BJ is head of demon retrieval. The birth of Nelle's baby signals the Apocalyse.

Mike: diagnosed in February sweeps; dead during May sweeps.

It's a tiresome character clearance event!!! I'm working on my list of characters to be found dead in the earthquake rubble: Nelle. Sonny, Carly. Jason, Amy, Franco, Lulu, Stella, Spinelli, Kiki...

Someone please decode the Nathan Varni quotes about Genie Francis for me. I mean, they had her on contract, then they moved her to recurring. She was in a big story about the mayoral election and being a newly married woman and suddenly she was off to France. Who's decision was it to institute these changes? Varni acts like a victim of circumstance. These were choices made by people in charge. Get her back-quick!!! She is one of the main reasons the show got to have 14,000 episodes.

I have some random thoughts I'd like to share: 1) Does anyone else think the priest was extremely shady? I would consider him a suspect except for the physicality needed for the climbing aspect. But maybe its some kind of weird combo killer thing. 2) I'm sincerely hoping that Sarah doesn't get "damseled". No kidnappings or other clichés. And if that does happen with the terminated police captain I hope she gets to rescue her damn self. 3) It would be interesting if John got "damseled" instead. 4) No love triangles. 5) I agree that the lighting is very dark and I'm probably missing some of the visuals but that may not be a bad thing. I've got an understanding of what's going on. I'm enjoying this show more than I have anything else in a long time. I've had some bad TV experiences recently so its nice to be intrigued and not immensely annoyed by what I'm seeing. Good job TNT. Also I admire the insightful , educational posts I'm seeing here.

What stood out most to me in the throwback photo Genie posted in comparison with the 14,000 episode photo is that I could identify all but 4 of those people as actors on the show. In the current photo TPTB tried to enhance the population with crew members. And I'm not saying they shouldn't be included, but its sad that there is small representation of cast .It was like they were trying to celebrate a momentous achievement and decided to half step. Show is just sad on so many levels.

I am feeling all of the Olivia hatred. I'm kind of sad that Faison is dead because he could've been so helpful with getting rid of useless, obnoxious characters like Olivia. I'm guess there are people like me who have a long list of P.C. citizens who need to die with no remorse on the part of the killer. I could name at least 15 off the top of my head. I'm not watching anymore and it feels real good. Is there a who should die forum topic? I would enjoy comparing death candidates with like minded people.

The thought of Kiki and Spinelli and Sonny and Carly and Nelle and Amy and Jason makes me reach for my Vernor's ginger ale. (Yes I live in Michigan). So many repugnant characters on one episode. My watch is pretty much done now. You guys are much more entertaining than the show.

Ulkis , your Tom and Margo mention swept me up and away to a land where soaps were well plotted and acted with memorable situations and characters. Damn.

1). byanose- I thought about David Hamilton too. 2). I like Nathan . Finn. and Drew. 3). Faison is so entertaining. He should've snapped Lulu's neck. 4). Genie got screwed. 5). I hate most of the characters.

So strange- I watched the Sandman ep last night, trying to satisfy a strong SH craving. I loved Seamus Duncan. Such a complete character. Damn I miss Season 1 so much.

Nicole is going to be on Tavis Smiley (PBS) Wednesday night.
