Scootman

It was a fun episode, but the only major event was Eric and Nicole having sex for the first time ... this week. And wasn't Nicole drugged and horny a few weeks back, but EJ didn't take advantage of her. Leave the poor woman alone. The two funniest things was of course Rafe and his Duke fantasy, and while everyone else saw the one they loved, Melinda just wanted to commit murder.

Just to keep my "Who is drugged" scoreboard up to date, Melinda did eat the biscuit at the DiMansion, correct? So she wouldn't be to blame for letting Stefan party in her pants.

I honestly believe the cure for Ancient Eric's ED would be watching Shauna and Quinn make out. If they truly care, they will make the sacrifice.

In the least surprising soap opera development ever, Eric's dirty old d*ck finally gave out. Also, does anyone know why Jack dresses like one of the hoodlums who gets arrested by Eliot Ness at the end of a Untouchables episode?

OMG, the Mannequin is back!! Oh, that's Brooke.

If Theo helps a woman, any woman, stay away from a Serial Killer, then he's had a good day.

A few observations about the latest episode: 1. That stilted, awkward running made me wonder if it was HumanHope or MannequinHope lumbering toward the van. Cleared up when I realized MannequinHope would have delivered more passion during the embrace. 2. Am I the only one upset that Chief Baker never got to finish his lunch? 3. Not sure hope this Thomas-Hope-Liam thing plays out, other than at some point Steffie will get pregnant again and think it's Liam's . That always happens. 4. With nothing left to lose, Quinn should have just reared back and socked Brooke right in her current face. 5. Eric isn't going to fire Carter, which sadly won't be the dumbest thing to happen this week.

Oh yeah. Leaving the scene of an incident, hit & run, failing to report to police, there's lots to charge them with. Under the circumstances they would likely plead to misdemeanors and not get jail time, but they would be charged.

We all knew. This is why Thomas and Liam are so into her.

I just wanted to say that "Oh How the Days Blend" is a better name for this show than Days of Our Lives.

Now that the Quinn cheating story is coming to a head, I guess it's time to dust off the Logan sisters. If I'm the actress who plays Paris, I'd be pissed that I get all the scenes setting this up and they have Brooke wheeled in for the big reveal of the affair. And Eric-Donna again? Eric-Shauna is fresh and would cause more shite.

So, we're going with the old "bickering brothers try to run the company together" storyline, which has been worn bare since JR and Bobby tried it on Dallas. I'm sure this will work.

Caught up to the latest episode, and I think I have The Monster pegged. His latest clue about having your "Head In The Game" happens to be the name of one of the bigger songs in High School Musical. It's Corbin Bleu.

I'm not sure I agree with the assessment that Maggie's final remarks mean she wants to harm Rick & Michonne or pull a "coup." She may intend to grab Negan and kill him. Maggie doesn't need to pull a coup, she's as much a community leader as Rick. Rick may see himself as the first among equals, but not sure Ezekiel and Maggie would agree. She has as much right to deal with Negan her way as Rick does. She and Rick clearly have a different idea of what "justice" is in this case. The fair compromise might be some kind trial and hang the bastard, nice and legal-like.

I'll be the first to call it. Dwight shot Tara with a "clean" arrow. She will not die. And personally, I like her and hope I'm right.

Clearly, Kyle doesn't want Erika Jayne's gaping maw anywhere near The Agency (And, why yes, I believe Mauricio has "The Agency" tattooed on his penis)

It does seem like it's suddenly going to be a fair fight. Katie, Stassi and Kristen against the newly-minted trio of Scheana, Ariana and Lala. The Witches always attack like wolves, would be interesting if they receive the same treatment.

I think this is why LVP likes her so much. LVP's jump from bikini-wearing actress on Silk Stalkings to high-class restaurant owner did include marrying a rich, older man.

"Happy Birthday Jesus!" EG is just owning the role of Fallon. Always good to see Bill Smitrovich, even as the mean, racist Grandpa. It's clear where Fallon gets her smart assery from. And he partied with Steve Nicks!! Anders has clearly cleaned up messes for years, but he hasn't seen anything like the Family Cristal. Steven is a boring whiner. Jeff Colby is officially as far from Original Jeff as humanly possible. So can we assume that: Cecil and Alexis have an affair, Alexis is banished, Cecil is set up for prison. Lloyd Bochner's Cecil never would have let Blake get the drop on him like that. Of course, this Cecil actually lived through intercourse with Alexis, so I guess that's a win.

Well, Blake 2.0 handled Cristal secretly being on birth control better than Original Recipe Blake, who got drunk and committed spousal rape (never to be mentioned after Season 1). I like how B 2.0 seemed forgiving, but clearly he is having doubts. I like Secret Agent Anders. He's the best Anders ever. What a mind F*ck for Steven. And he goes right over the edge. Elizabeth Gillies has perfectly captured the spirit of early-season Fallon. She's messed up, but oh so entertaining. Interested in seeing what Jeff's game is. This was a good episode.

Why didn't Liv just offer to go out and buy Mellie a damned vibrator? That's all I've got.

I'll get this out of the way: I like Nikki Bella. Do wonder whether all those surgeries (neck, knee) will make it tough to seriously compete.

When Lena & Tess were in the kitchen, all I could think was, "Stef definitely has a type." And after Tess' "alternative lifestyle" line, I think that Stef pulled away when they were teens because she had a crush knew it wouldn't go anywhere.

Scheana's makeup and hair thing was obviously nervous energy. I felt bad for her, both of them to a point.

Good to see Geoff Pierson. On the security clearance question, all former presidents are offered continued high-level briefings, George HW Bush reportedly has always received them, I guess so he can offer advice. So Moss likely was cleared and up to date on these matters. Since Kirkman was having a hard time getting cabinet members, I think getting a former POTUS to agree to serve as SOS is a big deal. He's obviously qualified, respected by world leaders and others may join now that Kirkman swayed a big name to come on board. I hope Moss is just a guy who loves his country and wants to help out. He could be very helpful.
