Before I forget (and head to the Barge when Gov. Newt issues an edict that it is Very Very Good that Sonny Saved his Spawn and Michael Must Agree, or No Clinic For You), I want to give props to RC for actually carrying out his DiD-apparent storyline. This is low-bar qualification, and it might have been his magnus opus plot twist all along, but after months and months of the "AJ Killed Kannie/No Wait, It Was Ava" tedium, he actually pulled through. I was expecting the Fluke is Bill denounment if only because he was going to the obvious, and letting Sonny figure it out because he is S-M-R-T-er than the PCPD. Dr. O was saying that if it was Luke as the corpse, it had to be from decades ago, which made me think this was Bill Eckert dug up. I'm going by the idea that Luke has been "active" for decades by Helena, and Jake's "death" (I'm still not convinced) triggered the DiD to finally bring out Evil LoD Luke.

In other news, Whitney Bulger has been exonerated of all crimes by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts after rescuing Tom Brady and a litter of homeless kittens & puppies from a burning building, melting the acculmulated snowpiles throughout New England in the process. It makes as much sense.

We live in a world where Rupert Giles and Dr. Mark Greene are more vengeful than Sonny Corinthos.

*ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* This is the show where the Good Guys can *be* vengeful, but can't *act* vengeful.

She's NOT dead! She's gone undercover and working with Frisco to restore the WSB, and.... Oh, yeah, Georgie.

Ah, Barge. I have arrived. Orange creme screwdriver, please? I just want to look over the railing at the scattered body parts of Sonny while Luke, Helena, and Nikolas kill each other over at Wyndermere during a gun & knife fight.

So many SF references come to mind. Sonny could survive: * A liquified steel bath * A molton lava pit while encased in a Panoptican. * The Genesis Device while it was being eaten by the Doomsday machine * A White Star with loaded nukes. * The Time War AND Trenzalore. * A Taylor Swift concert (maybe not SF)...

It's not just the "Sonny Saves The Day; He Gets Out Of Jail Free" moments. It's the preceding moments. They can't make him sadistic and without a conscience, so he HAS to help up a wounded Ava (who just "slipped"), and he HAS to only threaten to shoot Luke in the kneecaps rather than shoot him dead.

If I was a Seattle Seahawks GH fan, I'd be doubly sick. Twice in one week, victory has been snatched away by a WTF moment.

Yeah, yeah, Helena. Jake/Soldier Boy is "active". Is that your "scream real loud"/"paid by the word" phrase these days?

Doesn't excuse either kneecapping Fluke or using the crowbar on Fluke. Dante knows that this ain't Fluke, and is probably someone at least dangerous and lethal. If it was Jerry Jacks, it would be shoot-on-sight. Then again, Jerry would kneecap first and quip later. Dante is officially the Bellamy (The 100)/Lord Grantham (Downton Abbey) Designated Dumbass of GH.

Like the "Ava Killed Connie" neverending storyline (which ended), the only reason that the "Fluke is Bill Eckert" reveal will finally commence is to show us that Sonny (and Shawn!) put all the pieces together and figured it out by themselves, and gosh swell, aren't they the smartest persons EVAH!!! Smarter than the PCPD, the WSB, the Justice Department, and Agent Peggy Carter (who is only a womanfolk girl)! Yay Penis People! All Sonny needed to do was get Johnny's phone, beat up most of Johnny's men by himself, and get Shawn to do all his digging around. I expect Sonny not only to win, but to get all of the power and money from the LoD, including the Cassadine holdings and ELQ! *sarcastic squee*

Chriselle Stause - I'm sold!

I raved about the fast pace of the mayoral election wrapup episode (Tuesday?), and the past two episodes drove it home. If you put the scenes of the subplots together, especially the Sloane scenes, they're just regurgitations over and over. It's intertwining them with other subplots and commercials that give the semblance of plot moving through. It's not FF Territory because you can't stand a character; it's FF because the characters just said that 5 minutes ago. It gets to a point where you wonder if RC hired Mojo Jojo as a script editor.

With Zander, last seen sitting on a plane with her. They regenerated Franco into RH; get someone from Days/Y&R to play a regenerated Emily.

Helena isn't racist; she's snobbish and elitist. Back when Nik was dating Gia and Helena expressed horror, Nik accused her of being racist, and Helena shot down the notion, specifically about her Nubian heritage or something like that. No matter what the color or the nationality, if she was royalty or highborn, Helena would put her at the front of the class. Love that Rosalie realizes now that Nina was the less crazy lady she's worked for. Don't forget the PCPD and the Mayor's Office. I still think Judge Cockblocker was still involved. They had the WSB, but Frisco took that over. At this point, and seeing the two soaps trading off actors, I'm guessing the Ultimate Kingmaker of the LoD is Victor Newman.

Zimbabwe Dollars.

I liked yesterday's episode. So revoke my barge pass. There wasn't a wasted FF scene. No Sonny (aside from Jurior Prince saving the box for Unca Moobster). No retreading of Fluke storyline or Jakeson. Shoutbacks to other storylines. Lomax and Sloane confirming their membership in the Legend of Doom Auxiliary. And Prince Hypocritical Pampered PompousAss shown coming to the Dark Side, whether by genetics or because Granny has him by the Castle Parapets and he can't conceive of a life living upstairs from Kellys. It will be nice to see him get his comeuppance after his endless "be honest" lectures and kicking Britt to the curb for being the Lyingest Liar Who Ever Lied. So now, we have the Legend of Doom fully in control of Port Charles' PD and Government. All in all, it was shockingly pleasant to see a storyline move quickly. I'd like to see if Dr. O's "kick out John Doe because insurance" was all part of the plan. She should be out because the Board is no longer beholding to Victor Cassadine. Otherwise, why keep her there, specifically? ReRon can have her stick around PC without being part of GH, let alone CoS.

The only thing to keep me yelling "AW HELLS NO! DON'T PUT THIS OUT FOR RE-RON TO READ!" is if the Hells we know and love is truly dead and killed by Luke, and Patricia is a Fonduked Helena. Naw, that wouldn't explain the mind control of Jakeson. So, I'm back to "AW HELLS NO! DON'T PUT THIS OUT FOR RE-RON TO READ! HE'LL FUCK UP DECADES OF STORYLINE!"

Speculated that Haus Nutmeg: Patricia became a dancer at Sonny's club and was friends with Karen Drexler. She saw how Sonny pumped her up with drugs. Something something bad shit going down, now Patricia has white-hot hatred for the Stripclub Moobster who became the Most Powerful Criminal Godfather in the Eastern Universe or Such. Patricia something something trans something something became a man who looked like Luke. Fluke has a burning hatred for his siblings. I will wager that, if they have Patricia as Fluke, will be retconned as the one who killed Kannie, and Ava has false memories. A side bet that the "they retconned Joe Jr. into raping Kannie rather than have consentual DID sex and Kannie really wanted Trey" is re-retconned again.

Non-Spoiler Speculation Board Title du Jour! RC wants to keep all his options open until the last moment possible, so he can say "Fluke is Bill Eckert" without saying it, but keep the possibility that it's a transgender Patricia (interesting idea.... in the hands of someone competent and acted by someone who won't go all "Dr. Janice Lester") or an unknown Spencer family member. It would be interesting to have Fluke as Fight Club Luke, courtesy of Helena. It would be the culmination of the mind-control aspect from decades. But I can't spend as much time and effort as I want to, because ultimately, RC will take whatever tied-up Luke craps out in his chair and use that for scripts.

I'm taking this as "etc.", but Kwazy Kwpcakes is now a real game, available via the Fox site/ app.

In 2014, in the hands of RC, this will end well. (Not.)

Time-travelling Avery (played by Jessica Collins) kills Connie, Ava takes the wrap.

As we were watching B99.... from the bedroom. I'm trying to recall all the stages: 0: Straightlaced Ass-kissing Amy 1: Confused Amy 2: Loud Amy 3: Dance Amy 4: Perv Amy 5: Overconfident Amy 6: Sad Amy Was that it? If Seven-Drink Amy involves a blonde wig and Ukranian accent, I think Fox has its next BBC America remake.
