  1. This show officially turned into a trash, you cannot believe what you've been shown show with the arrival of the new show runner last year. No one is behaving in character and it is awful. That drip Nathan is a total bore. And Elizabeth is acting like some stupid, selfish teenager. I want to watch a show about adults not 90210 Canadian frontier style. WCTH is off my record and watch list.
  2. Brooke should have confronted that man-chasing, simpering simpleton months ago about openly trying to break up her marriage to Ridge. Bell said that Taylor came to town with an agenda and she got on it pronto. When she could not get the job done, the terrible tridgites joined the fray. For months Brooke was run down daily and often with lies to persuade the aging playboy to choose Mommy Acorn the born -again virgin saint-NOT. Brooke showed more class than Taylor did in the whole year she has been fouling up my tv screen. That idiot waited hours in her dirty wedding gown for the man who walked out on her. Pathetic. Yet Brooke was not cruel or mean to the woman who gladly slept with her husband. The one with colossal nerve is Taylor.
  3. My anger with Glassman and Lim just continues to grow. Yes Shaun was cleared of any wrongdoing in LIm's surgery. It is well documented that surgeons are arrogant and very narrow-minded but this is ridiculous. While it is no small thing that Lim is paralyzed, why is it inconceivable that she feel an ounce of gratitude that Murphy saved her life? And yes, the person responsible for her condition is the man who tried to kill her. This woman still has a life, career and probably plenty of money. Yet she aims her bitterness at a doctor she knows is more than talented. She was dying on the table. Wake up and get some perspective woman. Glassman while being a wonderful father figure to Shaun time and again also is like a petulant child at times. He was like that with Debbie and after he ruined his marrige. To me, Glassman's problem is not so much empathy for Lim in this case. He is angry that Shaun "disobeyed" him even though circumstances in the surgery dictated, to Shaun, a different path. If Lim's outcome was so important perhaps he may not have been so quick to run and save the criminal who caused all the trouble, while leaving Lim in someone else's hands. Shaun is a pain at times. That is the nature of his autism. Despite being highly functional and savant-like in his career, he still cannot connect with others as a person without autism can. Everyone who works with Shaun knows all this. Why do they time and again expect him to behave as they do? Some of them are not that great themselves. I'm looking at you Morgan and Park. What's your excuse?
  4. I was so excited to hear of Stranger Things season 4 being released. But I must admit that the plot thus far has been very slow. Plots need time to develop but, imo, earlier seasons did a better job of making the plot development compelling. For example the Russian portion of the plot has been deadly slow and overly fatalistic. The Joyce/Murray hi jinks have bordered on slapstick absurdity. It is commendable that Joyce is willing to go to such lengths to find and save Hopper but I found the scenes pretty clumsy. The Hawkins plot is also kind of weak to me. Jason is the villain masquerading as the hero. Maybe he did really love Chrissy but I get the feeling what he loved is his perfect life. He's good looking, athletic, popular and dates the head cheerleader. Now things he cannot control are messing with his life. When things go wrong for people to whom things come so easily they either fall apart or become bullies to try and regain some control. Jason is the bully. In fact, bullies seem to be the overarching theme of season 4 right behind unfathomable, seemingly unstoppable evil. I felt as others have said that the town meeting came off as artificial. Hopper would never have allowed a kid to take over this meeting and ratchet up vigilante sentiments among a room of adults. The fact that Erica, a child, was the lone voice of reason in that room, came off as totally unbelievable. Herd mentality is a real thing but there is always some dissent even in that type of situation. El. One of the things I found so depressing in the first couple of episodes was the complete regression of El. Her powers were a large part of her life but in making friends with the "normal" teens she developed other skills. She even forgot how to dress or present herself. Maybe the state she was in was to underscore her sense of loss not only of her powers but of Hopper but it seemed too drastic to me. The scene at the rola-rink with her attacking her bully I believe to be a window in to how El will overcome her jail, Brenner and the evil that threatens the world. Like others I am very disappointed that Dr.Owens is not the good guy the audience believed him to be. But I still have hope that he will help El more than harm her. Warning - if you want to remain unspoiled do not click below. Wow I was shocked at Jonathan's appearance. In contrast Steve looks wonderful. No wonder Nancy was giving him the eye. Joe just makes Steve so likeable. Jonathan comes off like such a dud. But I do love his wacky pot buddy Argyle. Mike seems off to me this season. Maybe he will wake up a bit later on. He seemed so distant from El. Guess her appearance and demeanor were a shock to him too LOL. Love the Duffers casting Robert Englund as Victor Kreel. Quite a turn around from his most famous role of being evil incarnate to a poor, unfortunate who is perceived as evil incarnate but is merely a victim. Finally, I guess the plot seems so disjointed to me because we have four locations rather than just one-Hawkins. When it was just one location all the moving parts seemed to be connected more. Stranger Things has been so good in previous seasons that perhaps I just expected too much. But so far the story has yet to wow me.
  5. This post is very late but I didn't catch up on CM until recently. First I must admit I do not like the characters of Will or Choi. Will was so desperate about Natalie in the beginning of the show it turned me off big time. Then as time went on he just kept breaking rules and it was ridiculous. Will is the poster boy for bad judgement. Look at his drug addicted doctor gf. What a mess. Then he totally screwed up with the drug trial before Natalie even stole the drugs. I wish Will was going to Africa for Doctors Without Borders or something. His cowboy antics might make a difference there but I hate him on this show. Frankly I miss Connor like crazy. Then there's the arrogant, hard-nosed Choi who is so willing to throw others to the wolves but has done quite a few nasty tricks himself. He is just a loser. Steven Weber is a great addition to the cast for his multi-layered performance of Archer. He is brilliant, devious and troubled. He is perfect for the show as a way to introduce angst. Though I love TD, Natalie is a rogue doctor and always has been. Despite her terror for her mother she did a terrible thing and put the hospital in a financial bind that I would assume most hospitals cannot afford. This is just the worst of Nat's faux pas. Unless the character had some realization that her behavior is out line most of the time, it's wonderful that she is gone. Goodwin is a great character but her heart is often interfering with business-like with Sharon. Sharon knows better but she made a huge error in her professional life and a huge error with her daughter. It was almost cruel to the girl who was perfectly content with her adopted parents. Sharon forced that girl to know who she is. So unfair. And I like Sharon a lot. But she is a keeper of a character regardless. Goodwin also let her son do several questionable things until she stopped him. Michael was an accident waiting to happen. Thankfully Goodwin has Dr. Charles to be her friend and sounding board. I love Oliver Platt in his role. I've been hooked on medical procedural shows since St. Elsewhere and ER. Hope next season has some better writing and better characters to replace Nat and April.
  6. Well it is Sheila. KB can really bring a lot to the show if the writing is there. I, for one, am glad it is not Quinn. She is fun for causing trouble but I detest her as a person. She needs to be surgically excised from the Forresters. Just stick in Carter's bedroom and leave her there. I found yesterday's show to be overly saccharine myself. I want to like Steffy and Finn as a couple but I find them fake, boring and not entertaining. So far, Finn is a total zero. I get no fire, no passion nothing from him. And Steffy has more passion for her now hidden giant LeeeeUm poster than she has for Finn. It's sad really. You just know that soon Steffy will be crying on LeeeeUm's shoulder and accidentally fall on his crotch. Sheila alone will not be enough to add some jazz to this boring duo. The wedding announcement was incorrect. The groom should be listed first and it should have said Finn and Steffy invite you, which it did not. Is the motorcycle a last gasp attempt to hang on to Steffy's wild child younger self? Multi-married and mother of two must be so sad for her to digest. And wedding of the century?????? Overblown much! I ugly laughed about Taylor and her misson work. That crazy loon is out doing good with a murder and almost murder on her conscience? Plus she bought a stolen baby. Nothing like a little whitewash to cleanse all the muck up. Hope she stays gone forever.
  7. I thought for a first day DF did a fine job as EJ. James Scott is a hard act to follow and no one should be expected to replicate his style. That said, DF seems to have an idea how to make EJ his character. It would have helped if EJ had more time alone with Sami rather than have to contend with an interfering chihuahua constantly. Having seen the sides, I do think Dan looks better with a bit of a beard. He sort of has a baby face and the beard makes him look tougher. EJ needs an edge. I look forward to how EJ evolves as the new actor settles in. One of the reasons EJ has always been so interesting is because he is not so constrained by good or evil. EJ was always a bit of both. You know it is so tiresome to see Brady bouncing around Salem going from one woman to the next with hardly a beat. I was NEVER a Broe fan. Philip was the one I wanted with Chloe and still do. Butt out Brady. How can Chloe forget five minutes ago he was in love with a murderer? A murderer that almost killed her?
  8. Stopped watching Days quite a while ago due to horrendous stories. For instance, Jack has been ruined by the Gwen story. Ugh EOB is a good actress but I do not care for the character whatsoever. I can really love a villain but not her. Screechy Sarah is finally gone. Yay! Liked the actress on B&B but on Days-NO. Xander is much better at plotting and skulking around than as a love interest, jmo. PT is a jewel, however. I find it preposterous that Great Grandma Kate is still sleeping her way through Salem and again with a much younger man. Ewwww. And Lunkhead aka Rafe is still snoozing through the stories this time with criminal Ava???? Heard AS was back as Sami but the little I have seen is not what I would like to watch. I especially do not like Sami and Lucas. He called her fat again! What a jerk. They work much better as friends and co-parents. Current story is very lame. Wanted to see the recast EJ. I was a huge fan of JS's EJ. DF has skill as an actor. Just have to see if he has any magic as a DiMera-the main DiMera. I do love the new DiManse set. The old one was nice but this 21st century design is lovely. Miss old Claire. The replacement is too dull for me. Hope they do not pair her with Ben. AlsoTrip is so laconic I almost nodded off. Allie is kind of like Claire to me-no pizazz. Though at times obnoxious Ciara was much more entertaining to watch. She should come back or stay gone.(maybe recast) Glad I still have a couple of soap options left.
  9. I must say this season finale was far better than last year. Like many others, I still am still smarting over killing off Melendez. I love the actor and he brought so much to the show. Love, love, love how the team adapted to the confines of surgery in a third world country. They were inventive and excellent. The smiles they brought to those they served was so gratifying. The story of Lea helping the young mother with her sick baby was a good way to start the healing for Lea. Running away is never the best option, imo. I was shocked that Lea proposed to Shaun. When she asked him if he wanted to get married, his response was so Shaun. "Of course, I love you". Glad to hear Dr. Hottie is coming to the US. Lim needs a good man. I really like the actress. The character has hard edges but she can be so insightful and direct when necessary. Loved her admitting to her PTSD. First step toward healing is admitting the problem. Aw Morgan! FG just pulls me in. Morgan is such a complex character that I could watch her all day. Hope being in love does not blunt her hard edges completely. She will still need them from time to time. Since I did not know prior to this episode that AT was leaving the show I was shocked that Claire stayed behind. Next to Shaun, of course, I always felt Claire was the heart and soul of "The Good Doctor". I found her irritating at times with her inflexible ideals. But she was truly a good person and had such a heart for patients' needs. Claire will be missed. So so great to have a finale that did not include excruciating heartbreak and loss. Needless to say I was over the moon that the man with the dog got his surgery. That was the saddest outcome of the first part of the finale for me, the he was rejected because he got sick. Loved seeing the dog waiting outside for him. Good feels!
  10. Good but very sad episode. We often forget how very blessed we are to have access to excellent medical care in this country. The stories certainly pulled at my heartstrings. I thought the two Guatemalan doctors were excellent given the limited resources they have. Necessity really is the mother of all invention. So Lea is going to be gone for a while. This screams a way to cause more drama for Shaun and Lea. She will be gone. Some woman will take a shine to Shaun and start to make inroads and voila, Lea returns. Certainly this would be possible with a regular couple. Not sure if Shaun will move away from Lea. Lim and the sexy doctor was good. She certainly has a type. LOL How hilarious was it that Dr. Andrews with his toilet seat? Park is still so in the dark about Morgan. He just continues to hurt her. She is hard to like but I do like her. FG is a big part of the reason.
  11. "The early days were so good. It's not on Netflix anymore but I feel like I'd enjoy watching season one and then would just stop. " Sadly, Netflix took WCTH off their service. I have all the seasons recorded :)
  12. I recently started watching this series from the beginning. It has evolved. In the beginning the town was muddy, dingy and the weather seemed to be perpetually overcast. Of course the mine disaster was fresh and it was shown to be a hard scrabble life in a remote mining town. Henry was definitely the villain. Elizabeth was adorable in her clumsy attempts to be a "regular" lady in town. Her cooking was ghastly. Florence was a mean witch. But the romance with Jack and Elizabeth was so sweet and cute. I'm sad some of the original characters left. So far, (still in season1) Jack has had competition for Elizabeth in the form of a con man(Andrew Walker). Of course Jack found him out and Elizabeth also picked up on his game. Jack has declared that he is courting Elizabeth and the fun stuff is coming up. Since it will be probably early 2022 before WCTH returns, it sure is fun to watch how it all began.
  13. A good episode but not one of my favorites to be sure. First I just could not empathize with the parents of the young girl with the growth. They had YEARS to have it dealt with. When they finally did seek help it was an unholy mess and they tried to blame the doctors. Only at the end did they seem to take responsibility for what happened to their daughter by their cowardice. Nice touch to have her tell them she loves them regardless of the blunder they made Ah Claire. Part of me loves her and the other part hates her hypocritical, one point of view thinking. I see her Dad as a man who ran away from an intolerable situation. Yes it was wrong. I can also see that maybe he did send money to salve his conscience about abandoning Claire to a lying, mentally unstable alcoholic. The picture the show presented of Claire's mother makes it possible for me to believe she took the support money and shot it up or drank it up. Claire got a raw deal when it comes to parents. Her mother died because she could not overcome her addiction, even for her daughter. All Claire has left is a man who has tried to make amends and who seems to truly want a relationship with her. IMO, Claire should be cautious but she needs to put away the anger. Her father cannot, no matter how much he might like to, erase the past. All he can do is be there for Claire now. I am totally on Debbie's side of the marriage. Although I am a fan of Glassman in general, his attitude about Debbie has always rankled. If you love someone, you should not demeanthem, be ashamed of them or try to control them. Debbie made Glassman aware long ago that she was armed and intended to remain armed. At times I just find Glassman hard to take. His behavior during the self-isolating period was just petulant and juvenile. Debbie had trouble with his treatment then as well. Since the actors are married in real life it is nice to see them portray a married couple but one hopes the real deal is miles from what Glassman and Debbie live through. To be honest, I was holding my breath throughout tonight's episode about Glassman. There have been rumbles that the character might die and this situation seemed a bit of a setup to that possibility and Debbie's regret that would follow. Shaun needs Glassman so if that happens, it would mean big things for Shaun going forward. Hope I am dead wrong(pun intended). Lea and Shaun are growing so much. In the pit of hell, Lea is called upon to help Shaun in a way that makes one shudder. But she did it. She persevered in the woods much better, even before the crisis, than I expected that she would. I have to admit I am growing to love Shaun's plain speaking regarding medical conditions. No sugar coating here. But knowledge is power and that works. Looking forward to the two part finale but I am also skeered! I still miss Melendez(and Nick Gonzalez) so much. I've been a fan of his since the Hispanic drama "Resurrection Blvd". Miss his friendship with Lim too.
  14. It is odd. I felt little suspense in this season finale. The midair crash was a little unbelievable in that most of those types of accidents cause explosions from the jet fuel. I don't think I've ever heard of a midair collision that had survivors-ever. It was amazing that the jerk, abusive captain could not ever see how much Chavez accomplished in the crisis and how well he did it. To me, there is no place in the First Responder world for people such as this captain. Ah how did Billy wrangle Owen's job right out from under him? And what a total jealous loser he is. Sorry Billy, you seem to be forever type cast as the bad guy. Bad guys make stories interesting but now every time I see BB's face I know he will be the villain in the story. Finally, how silly is it to think the airport had no long range weather warnings of a huge dust storm? The newly minted pilot had just taken off seconds before the warning to him came. Also does Austin have no radar? So the ATC knew the storm was there but not a huge plane so close by? Makes no sense or the ATCs of Austin should be fired.
  15. I loved all the outcomes of the finale. Last week was so unnerving and shocking that the show needed some resolutions and some happy scenes to counter all that gloom. Athena really heard Bobby and showed him in the most demonstrative way how much she loves him. And of course, the whole family, complete with Daddy and his boyfriend at the end was great. Harry and May are so lucky that Athena and Michael are so willing to work together to be present together in their lives as opposed to how many divorces with children work. Who can pull at your heart quite like Christopher? Gavin McHugh is so good at portraying Christopher. Having a child with CP as part of the cast is brilliant and shows us that people with disabilities can and do lead happy productive lives. Christopher comforting Buck was one of the best scenes of the night, among many. Buck is just all in, in whatever he does. I had to look away while he was climbing to save the construction guy. I have acrophobia and it was too "real" to me. So happy Eddie survived that awful attack. The scenes with Nia were so sweet. But I couldn't help but watch that and feel she had such a complete family with Hen and Karen. Such a nice bonding scene between loving fosters and the birth mother, however. Glad Maddie didn't do anything drastic. I like JLH and Maddie but overall her character has just been a total downer since she came on 911. It would have been nice to see Chim and Maddie enjoy their daughter and be a happy couple for a bit. And hey, Albert grew up. Finally...Buck's got a girl!!!!! Finally some happiness post Abby.
