I don't see the point in dressing Monica like a Christmas tree. Just sitting around the house with a big ol' lime green bow around her butt? Going to the hospital/Carrington house all spangled up? Is the point to somehow demonstrate that she's rich or is it some wet dream of how rich people dress?

Whew! Thanks, SanDiegoInExile!

Who is the white-haired woman? Why does she have Culhaine and Colby under her thumb? What's so important about the poker games? I smell several red herrings--and a room full of bad and lazy writers.

Was this supposed to be "Little Women" or a Vogue shoot? So. Much. Posing. So. Much. Hair. It might have been better to go with the fashions of the day, the foodie food, the scenery shots and just bag the story line.

There doesn't seem to be much point in producing this version of "Little Women," unless the point is to introduce us to the GenX version of acting which is terribly flat and thoughtless. There is no art here. I am very disappointed.

I wouldn't leave the house dressed in Fallon's red and navy stripe outfit. Ghastly.

I'm wondering why Mama's eyes were beet red. Did she smoke a few bowls during the wait? Does anyone in that group have any manners? A sign of respect is to rise when somebody enters a room, and this bunch stayed planted when Dr N came in with the post-surgical (leg) news. OTOH, here I am, silly me, expecting day-to-day manners from people who are responsible for Liz weighing as much as she did. In some sick way, they, including Liz, enjoy the infamy that comes with having a 700-pound bed-bound pet.

Regarding her air travel: FFS, why didn't somebody at the gate take one look at her and tell her nope, not happening, you stay home. For all of the good it did her to travel to Houston, she should have stayed home. I really wanted to slap the food out of her porky fingers and then slap her face until she really had something to cry about.

Here's a peep: flat-out AWFUL. The Fallon actress is a. bad. line. reader. This episode was one step away from a table read.

Thank you for the comments regarding anger issues and glass bowl behaviors. I had this episode on the DVR and deleted it after watching about 5 minutes of it. Don't need to watch triggery stuff like that.

Oooh, I loved Captain Kangaroo from his very first bluster.

This should be the Anders show. He steals every scene he's in. The actor who plays Blake's father *gasp* can actually act (as can the Anders actor). Rewrite this god-awful show with the two of them as leads. I beg you.

"The turkey's done." Well, yes.

I seldom watch television but made an exception for this show, because I liked the original so much. This episode was the worst yet in every. single. category. Actors can't act their way out of a wet paper bag. Hideous costumery. Hideous sets. Music makes dialogue indecipherable--had to back up the DVR to figure out what the hell they were saying. Stupid, vapid and terribly written script. Think I'm done.

Ugh. Dynasty:Millenial version. Blank delivery of every single line. The Fallon actress is totally out of her element. The Blake character would be better suited as a JC Penney model. I was hoping for a slightly better script/acting/blocking/costuming but no. Just HORRID.
