You can also say that about the Spencers, offspring in particular. :)

Very true and cool story, and my apologies to those not sports fans. Helena's last curse was against Emily and Nik (who should know that his grandma's curses work) back in October 2004. Storyline was that Nik and Em kiss in the Temple of Aphrodite on a nearby island and the curse would be broken. An earthquake destroyed the island before Em and Nik can get there, except for one patch of ground, which they kiss, music swelled, lights came from above, and the curse is broken. Reason why I started with an apology to the sports fans was that we watched that taped Friday episode on a Sunday, before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, with the Yankees leading the Red Sox 3 games to none. That Sunday game resulted in a comeback win for the Red Sox (and that's an understatement, but sums up for purposes here). Monday episode had the recap of the curse-breaking kiss and another game. Result of that game was another comeback win for the Red Sox. Here's the interesting part of the story: Game 6 the next day, and I rewind back to the Friday/Monday episode where they kiss. I have it cued and I watch it. Red Sox go ahead. Later that game, Yankees rally, and I recue and watch the kiss again. Next thing I know, a critical call goes against the Yankees, and the rally dies. Red Sox win again. Game 7, repeat again. Watch the kiss, watch the game, Red Sox win game and series, after being on the verge of losing the Series. Nik & Em's kiss broke Helena's curse and the Curse of the Bambino. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Oh, and Helena's curses are spot on. Look at what happened when she cursed Luke & Laura. Guza, Frons, RC, and 20-plus years of Sonnyness.

There's doing a spilt season that actually two half-seasons with an all-encompassing arc. Then there's "let's call it a fall finale so that we can push the remaining shows after the holidays and into January".

Couple that with Helena brandishing a knife against someone's neck, warning, "With just one twitch....." while everyone freezes, not going to the BOOM headshot. If that happens, I want to see ABC News breaking in to say that Cassadine Island is being carpetbombed by drones. Flight Attendant rescues Robin & Jason, kills Nik & Helena, and, oh, whatever happens to Liz and Sam happens. FA is played by Melissa McBride. I refuse to believe she's on a deathbed/dying unless I see her head severed from her body and her brains scattered to the four winds. And even then, the coroner from Munchkin Land and John Cleese have to confirm it.

"And Now..... Robin being held by minions who threaten Emma from afar --- why is this still a thing?"

While watching Jake, Terry, and Charles in the woods, I had to make background noises of Walkers from "The Walking Dead". I'm glad they addressed Rosa's relationship with Marcus and the decision to end it. Coupled it with the two most emotionless characters crying made it a bonus. I looked at Amy's shoulder light and thought "isn't that already invented?"Maybe in Sci-Fi shows?". I did find something comparable: http://www.policeone.com/police-products/emergency-lighting/articles/6747619-SHOT-Show-2014-Guardian-Angel-shoulder-light/ But "I can put a flashlight in my mouth" was Peter Principle stupid (can't shout orders, visit to the dentist after a fall). This show is great at callbacks, and I wouldn't be surprised it's in Chekov's Evidence Locker.

E-Z) Governor SonnyFanBoy

"Nathan! You have to do something!" "Let me handle it, Maxie." *blows whistle* "Attention everyone! PCPD! This party is officially shut down! Everyone leave now!" "On what grounds?" "I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- to find out there's overacting going on within this premises..." "Your script, Mr. Paevey..." "Ah, yes, thank you --- Everyone, out! Now!"

Any other show would have mentioned Jake sleeping on the couch. They are treating the relationship aspect well. And props for remembering Amy is a smoker. The "how she did it" made the "she was the real thief" oh so worth it.

Spot on.

Overheard at the NSA: "We just got a datadump that a police commissioner in upsate New York is going to call us concerning a data breach at the local hospital." "Oh, fuck, that's Sonny Corinthos' territory. He's the most powerful person in the Western Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere. Please say it's not that Jackal guy." "Yeah, him." "Oh fuck fuck fuck. He's too connected to be touched. Someone tell the local judges that his lawyer's going to ask for a favor. Give her anything. We'd rather deal with Assange and Snowden over him." "Yeah, even Putin learned his lesson with that Balkan operative."

Again, taking out the Sonnyness out of it, just leave him on the ground and walk around him if he refuses help. Until he asks of help. Putting in the Sonnyness again would have made this hilarious. Suck on this tough love!

I was starting to fast forward through the "Mine Mine Mine! Evil Evil Evil!" repetition, when NutmegsMom told me, "Actually, you want to listen to this part. It gets good." And then, with GoonDuJour and Alexis watching, we actually had inside voices. INSIDE VOICES!! God healp me, if you ignore the historic doochiness of Sonny always winning and whining, the paralysis stroyline is good. But they need more than Max for the smarts to run the organization. Or not even run it. As implied in "The Princess Bride", it's merely the reputation of Sonny that keeps him in power (along with Jason or the Enforcer du Jour). The legend (in his own mind) stretches from controlling the docks to the Most Powerful Man on the Eastern Seaboard. What he needs so for someone else to step in as the Dread Moobster Sonny.

If she's still wants to work, there's the CW/WB and/or the science fiction/fantasy genre. If she can get onto a Flash/Supernatural type show, even with a few appearances, she's into the SF Fandom, and soap actors are prized because they can pick up a script and read like that. And yes, the fandoms intertwine.

Add in Haus Nutmeg. At this stage, Britt is too good for Nik. We'd like to see her back for Spencer's sake and to give Brad his BFF back. It's tempting to ask for Britt to be paired with Morgan, but if it means going into the growing Sonnyverse, then aw hell no. (Which is my standard answer for getting the young actress who played Flashback!Bobbie to come back. She doesn't deserve to be in the stench of the Show.)

I'll take Not!Dead!Connie, as the Big Bad giving orders to Paul. Makes Sonny a bigamist, frees Ava, wrecks more havoc....

Yeah, we're back to the B99 we all know and love, even if Holt and Gina are still separated. Interesting they addressed Real Life NYPD. Holt answering each email personally should not end well, but it is Holt. "There are no winners." Rosa did nail that, but I still enjoyed the battle of wits. NutmegsMom guessed it was the assistant for the same motive. Yay for Charles/Jake bromance. Please moar Mary Lynn. It took the length of the title sequence to regain composure after the cold opening. Fantastic. And no Vulture. The 99 rolls on.

She regenerated in Second Doctor Joss. Unfortunately, with the regeneration, we lose the corn Sonny hate snark. I'm honestly surprised, with half the town showing up in the chapel, Popes Benedict and Francis didn't concelebrate the wedding, Jax didn't show up as best man with Tracey as Flower Girl, and Scotty busting in after the wedding to tell 'his new BFF' that he screwed over Ava and Avery is his forever and forever (coupled with "oh yeah, I had a daughter. We're good now"). STAY ON THE BARGE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!

Jean Passanante is showing considerable restraint in the Sonny/Ava scenes. The old regime would have Sonny mumble something about no one will keep him from his daughter, get up from his wheelchair, snatch Avery, and push Ava down the elevator shaft. Hayden's story from her perspective, in and of itself, should be interesting. Wake up with no memory, everyone hates you, this rich asshole trying to rape -- er, 'romance you' and keeps you under his thumb, for a secret you can't remember and no one will tell you. And the one person who would tell you, everyone tells you to forget and to stay away. This should scare the shit out of Hayden and to get away, and find someone to find out. I said "should". Considering his present state, this is funnier than usual.

I have to come back to note that they remembered that Jake is a very good detective. He was able to finagle into the front rows by observation and remembering past experiences. That's worthy of a long line of classic and TV detectives. Oh, and Squelch Box Flashback, how I've missed you.

If it means that Sonny will be picked up with his wheelchair by a remote helicopter and tossed into a smokestack., I'm all for it.

I would say taking her away from nursing (either a suspension or leave of abscense) would be a punishment. I could see her going back into painting and MAYBE modeling for Deception with Laura(!!) in town. They need to address why Sabrina can be kicked out of GH but still be able to go before the Board to get Michael his clinic, but that may have been RC-asshattery.

Hey! It's Passanante's first show! *click* "Sonny! Come back to me! Say something!" "Mumblemumblemumble..." *click* "Sonny lives? You're DEADTOME, Passanante!" And if Sonny's truly paralyzed, I want to see him in Davros' manuvering unit, since he has more children spawn than Daleks in the universe.

This.... was interesting. They've skirted again with the "Amy and Jake will get broken up by forces beyond their control" trope again. Compared to 1st and 2nd season, their plans usually work well, and it's unusual to have them have an instaloss, so the "No I have to make noise right here and right now even there is no reason other than making your plan fail" bagpiper make me cringe. (but nice save with Amy as the backup). Holt is miserable. But even Miserable Holt is great to listen to. I'll buy the "saves Jake's career" because Holt is able to do *something* for the Nine-Nine. Can Jake get busted to a beat like that? Yes, on this show.

First, I am truly sorry for your loss tveyeonyou. Real life pales in comparison to TFGH. After Michael browbeat Tracy into apologizing to him over her rant against her brother's killer, the next thing I remember was watching the conclusion of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series to calm down.
