Can we talk about comparisons to the books in the episode threads? Or should talk of the books be restricted to a specific comparison topic?

That was awful - just a waste of good actors. Felt like it was inspired by Stranger Things but written and executed incredibly badly

You know they are going to use Crisis to excuse away their continuity issues
Spoilerthat was one of the reasons DC wrote the Crisis story line, to tidy up continuity issues and to create a single coherent universe

I wish they had just made her a teenager if they are going to have her act so immature and 'young'. Jessica can pass for that young (well, for TV).
So - if she's from 30 years in the future (2048), and she was born "a few years" before Barry vanished (2024), then her age should be somewhere between 25 and 28 years old. I think the unspecified date of birth is the writers keeping their options open as to when Iris gets pregnant. However, Nora being here now will change things in any case (this is her 'Flashpoint'), so I don't think they need to be vague about it.
After meeting Nora, I would think Iris would do everything she could to avoid getting pregnant. I just started watching again after bailing midway through the Season of Nora . I'm doing a rewatch to catch up and I think I might skip that season.

I’m pretty sure the previous version of this site had a Eureka topic because I remember posting on it when the show was airing. It was a good time.
I just finished a rewatch and I’d forgotten how much I loved this show. It really was excellent.

You don't like Franco? Well, what about in comparison to this BS"
Neither. Is neither an option? If not, FrankenDrew - even with the Deliverance accent.

I loved the 90ss era Sonny/Brenda/Jax triangle. I'd def rank it as one of the better triangles this show has had.
Agreed. And I think it was one of the best triangles in soaps.

Valentin is just as milquetoast as Michael. The Red-headed Menace version of Michael was scarier than both of them

I'm probably not going to get to a place where I hate Kim or FrankenDrew enough to want Franco back. Not even if there's a fire.

This nonsense that Franco "identifies" as Drew therefore he's Drew is such ridiculousness. If Franco had killed a bunch of people right before the memory transfer, would the police be all "well, he identifies as someone else so we can't arrest him". NO. Shut up show.
I mean, that's basically what they did with the tumor excuse.

They listed Michael Knight as Valentin Cassadine:
A mistake? Or is the current Valentin an imposter?
If it's door number two, that would be equally woeful miscasting. Tad Martin is not scary
I wholeheartedly approve of current Valentin being exposed as an imposter, but replacing him with MK would be just as bad. Now, Vincent Irizarry? Yes. That would work. MK should be Dr. Jeff Webber.

He'd still be very wealthy. And stories about him trying to figure out how to live without the mob and protecting his family from the consequences of his long criminal career couldn't be more terrible than the Sopranos Lite nonsense

i think there could have been much more drama in Sonny trying to go straight when he got out of jail. I mean, probably not with FV and his various HWs (their idea for non-mobJason was a media company) but potentially. GH did it with Luke and with Duke - and they're not writing mob stories for Sonny anyway

Sam and Liz used to be allowed to do it - but it was always over Jason, so.....

Liz can continued to say that Dranco is a danger to himself and is incapacitated, but the reason she rushed to get him committed was because he was leaving town with Kim.
I think, Kim or no, his leaving town was the mitigating factor
I don't think either of those things is a legit reason to have someone committed.

It's an interesting philosophical question -- what makes who a person is? Is it the memories, which is what Franco carries? Is it the reactions and feelings, which is what Drew had?
You can't entirely divorce the two, of course. But even with Drew Caine's memories, Franco still retains his impulses and sense of entitlement which the other Drew never had. Where Drew backed off, Franco would have pushed forward. Because of who he is innately. Small infants have personalities even before they encounter experiences.
If Franco had lived Drew's life rather than his own, his memories would have been different than the ones he now carries because Franco would not have reacted to Drew's experiences the same way that Drew did.
I really, really like the idea that Drew's memories are being filtered through Franco's instincts/Id. It's a great explanation for the differences between Drew/Franco and Jason/Drew. It explains everything except the accent - nothing explains the accent.
Having said that, I'd still rather keep FrankenDrew. He's a better character for RoHo, and that matters if we're stuck with him. He can fall in love with Liz without the stalking and dog cages and they can raise the bebe that he for sure just created with Kim, who will probably be Heather's roommate in Ferncliff by this time next year.

I do think it was telling that FrankenDrew apparently knows about the brain tumor and he still has no interest in being Franco

Sorry, you're right - the Navy Seal that was helping Shiloh steal the money died at the time

If we're going by the way the real Drew behaved when he was falling for Elizabeth and then Sam but they weren't in a relationship, he didn't go grabbing them by the arm and kissing them in the middle of a public building as Franco did with Kim in the hospital. When Drew understood that Elizabeth had some sort of relationship with Ric, he backed off. He was not aggressive/entitled as FrancoDrew is behaving.
But that's also Jason.
QuoteHe did not do 1000 percent intensity about his own desires regardless of what was going on around him - if so, he never would have succeeded as a SEAL.
Shiloh was also a Navy Seal. They're not a monolith.
QuoteI think it's within Franco's nature to latch onto the memory of a relationship of a few months and blow it up in his mind to 'we were madly in love and should have been together forever.' Such extremism is a call-back to his disturbing behavior like locking Tom in a cage with the shock collar 'out of love for/to protect Elizabeth.'
That is true, Franco is obsessive and selfish - but that doesn't mean that real Drew, with all of his memories, isn't.

Thing is that the "real Drew" was as much Drew as Franco is right now. Both men have had their memories tampered with so who can really say that the original untampered with Drew who has clear memories would not have wanted to be with Kim....or for that matter ever chose to be with Sam....or even Liz.
Sure, legally and physically Drew is Drew Cain - but he has 20 years of Jason Morgan's memories, 1 year of memories as Jake Doe, 2 years of memories he created when he believed he was Jason, and 2 years of memories he created using the name Drew Cain once he accepted that he wasn't Jason.
From what we know about Andrew Cain, he: was never adopted; spent a few years as a foster child in a dysfunctional, chaotic household with Franco, Betsy and her child molester boyfriend; grew up in the foster care system; knew about Jason Q's life; didn't develop any close friendships during school or in the Navy Seals and his only significant romantic connection was with Kim. Real Drew doesn't seem to have any connection to that history, and he let go of Jason's. He has the relationships that he built as Jake/Jason/Drew but his personality seems more like Jake Doe than like someone with Drew Cain's history or Jason Morgan's memories.I think he wasn't getting any direction/background so Drew Cain was more or less Billy Miller.

Kim spent years building up a relationship in her head as the be all, end all, only to find the real Drew and be confronted with his romantic indifference for her. Now he's gone, and she's settling for a bastardized version of Drew because it feels good, and it feels like validation for everything she romanticized for the last 16 years. What Kim's doing with Franco isn't healthy, and it isn't real, and it's a shame the show is presenting it as a continuation of true love when it's really an obsession she's clinging to at the expense of everything else.
Well, Drew with Jason's memories was indifferent to her. The man walking around with Drew's memories seems to feel as strongly about her as she feels about him. She wasn't wrong. Of course, the fact that she wasn't wrong about their feelings doesn't excuse her current behavior.

Franco thinks that he is Drew. He has Drew's memories, and apparently not his own. He's not DRew, of course, and I'm not sure how much Franco there is in him, but presumably some. this is the way that he wants to stay. He has stated that. He is identifying as Drew. This is actually an interesting question. Does anyone have the right to force him to get therapy to change who he thinks he is. I tend to think yes, because he's clearly not Drew and therefore is delusional in believing something that is not true, but you can draw the parallels.
But he's not delusional. He knows that he's not legally/physically Drew. He knows about Franco, he just does not want Franco's life or his memories. And I don't think anyone has the right to force him to undergo Andre's treatment. Does Jason have the right to force Drew to give up his memories of Jason's life and take his own memories back even though that would fundamentally change who he is? I don't think he does.
Same thing applies to the DID analogy. The family can try to convince the person to get treatment, but if they're not hurting themselves or others, can the family force them into treatment? Especially a treatment that's potentially harmful?

S01.E08: Not The Eternal
in Lockwood & Co
I think the books mention that electricity/technology tends to mask the presence of ghosts from investigators. The intro has a scene of smashed computers so maybe tech also agitates ghosts? I have to admit that I love seeing people doing research in libraries and archives instead of google
