The next 2 episodes (4 & 5) dropped today. My main thought - Catherine and Beal are both annoying.

Just a reminder that until it is covered in show Roseanne Conner's political evolution is off topic.

I'm just entertained by the fact that Thomas and Caroline have a daughter. (Barry Allen strikes again?)

Maybe they will be embedding a completely different pilot within this story?

True, it was really great seeing Connor Trinneer again. I've seen him here and there the last 10 years or so but not nearly enough.

I liked it too. A lot of the viewers seemed upset that they were short and not full length but I'm okay with the format. Some kind of memory wipe seems likely though any reasonable explanation is fine with me. Adding an afterthought... Catherine was much too modern day feisty for a period piece. But at this point I'm resigned to it. I don't think younger writers know any other way.

Yes, this is the first time I've felt anything other than white hot anger about a society that lets their children be gunned down. :-(

io9 Guide to Stargate

Looks like the first 3 episodes are up and they are free to watch. (Though you do need an account.) Stargate Command

I think it was a little joke about someone else also playing Becky. Less work, less wear and tear... :-)

The thing is, triangles and WTD storylines wouldn't be so bad if they would just update them for the times and not repeat the same ones over and over. (They are genre staples, after all.) It's the lack of imagination in implementing them that makes them look so threadbare. And frustrating, when you have 3 (Brooke, Liam and Nicole) characters sitting there on the canvas that could nudge the show into the nineties. Or maybe even the aughts.

I haven't seen it on video but looking at the screen grab, I like it straighter. It seems more natural, less prissy anyway. Dear CBS lurkers, when the only reason I'm considering watching this episode is to check out Hope's hair your writers are doing something wrong.

I think $Bill (and Still) could recover and be an interesting force to reckon with but it would need some time and consistent writing. And courage. Which I'm sure looks less appealing right now than the easier ToD nonsense.

I didn't realize that the rumor wasn't soap specific. Sigh... that means we're more likely to get the Bridge trouble via their daughters. I wanted so much more for a recast Hope than that. No thanks to another iteration of the ToD.

There's no doubt that without KKL/TK's salaries, it could open up the canvas a lot. Though honestly, I'd rather they shipped them off to Paris/Milan/Fargo than kill them off. No matter who it is, I'm always impressed by how good B&B is at keeping big plot twists under wraps.

The Forrester jet crashes with Ridge and Brooke presumed lost? With one or both resurfacing during some future sweeps?

Only one more Bridge-heavy day then? I can live with that. Though not looking forward to Wyatt getting his heart stomped on quite so soon.

I skipped this week except for the non-wedding (and the final) scenes yesterday. Liked the Liam and Wyatt scene so much and am glad that Wyatt has finally gotten a clue. Though would the writers actually give Wyatt the win in this triangle? Most of the women looked great. I loved the color (but not the construction) of Quinn's dress. Maya looked positively regal. But AB's dress certainly didn't do her any favors and Katie's sparkle helped make it easier to ignore hers. As for the men, well... I don't usually comment on personal things like weight but in a couple of places it was distracting. There are several guys who could use a little gym time. And the final scene? If I were Brooke I'd torch that thing. SF the actress I like, SF the character kept me from watching this show and even from clips I find it hard to buy their supposed bond. But I can see how other viewers might like it. I'll even admit that hearing her voice made me a little nostalgic, not for Stephanie herself but for an era where soaps were still popular and not on the endangered species list.

What is it about this show, where it is really good for a month, six weeks maybe and then it just nosedives into total crap until whatever storyline is over and they start the cycle over again? More importantly, what is it about me that I keep falling for it?

Nope, not a bit. I have one of my own - and I'm probably a bigger geek than he is.

This episode was filmed in my city and the husband actually works close to me. (Thousands of employees in this location, so I've never actually seen him IRL.) You have to remember he's an engineer. They can be kind of nerdy. What's really weird is I have no idea where half the locations they used in filming are in Cedar Rapids. (The out and about ones, not the houses.) I need to get out more.

Nothing about this sounds interesting. (And is Stephanie the familiar face?) It figures that I finally start liking Watie just as they are going to end. Not that Thorne isn't a better catch but I hate that Wyatt loses again.

The premise of the first season was silly but I enjoyed it. Most of my enjoyment was from the Darius/Grace team up though. This thing with Claire's brother sounds truly awful. (Mainly because Claire was awful. I have liked the actress in other roles but by the end, I wanted her gone in the worst way.)

DuckTales Season 2 Discussion.

I thought Hope and Wyatt had a nice scene and maybe a smidgen of chemistry - unlike the ones with Liam, where I didn't see any. I still wish Hope had come back with an Italian count or race car driver in tow. The men on this show are all pretty boring at the moment. Except Liam and I'm tired of everyone bullying him about Steffy.
