When I lived in a house with 5 other roommates and had an exam in my night class, I'd go to the student union grill for to eat dinner and study. But there wasn't anyone there I knew who would distract me.

I had been wondering if the fact that Jagger and Jason Q knew each other would ever be brought up, so I was pleased that it was acknowledged today. I don't remember if they were friends, but they were friendly. I will never forget the scene where Karen, Jagger and Jason were in a boat and it began to leak. To plug the hole, Jason told Jagger, "Quick! Take off your shirt!" In an interview even Antonio Sabato laughed about the contrivance to get him shirtless.

IIRC, in a previous season, there was a murder mystery, but it wasn't incumbent on the staff to create it. The chief stew just ordered a murder mystery kit from the provisioner. So, why creating a mystery became an issue this time speaks more of producer-created issues than actual problems.

That line caught my attention, too. But I'm pretty sure it's correct. "You" and "I" are subject complements and therefore nominative, not objective. I think it might be more likely that Carolyn changed it to the right pronoun. But that aside, I'm hoping that the article about Diane sleeping with the D.A. leads Robert to decide they can't continue their relationship.

I think he said it was hard to sew a wound back together without leaving a scar

Not only that, but she killed in that leather jacket yesterday.

He's been particularly awful lately. He doesn't really convey what he's supposed to convey -- it's like instead of sounding angry, he sounds like what he thinks angry should sound like, if that makes sense. Combine that with the character tics he's developed over the years, and he's coming off as more of a caricature than a character. JMO.

This is what irritates me the most. When Trina's (allegedly) true parentage was revealed, she had a heartfelt conversation with Taggert saying he would always be her dad. Then, within weeks, she was calling Curtis "Dad" and there was no mention of Taggert at all. I could live with the transition better if she used another name for Curtis. IMO, the current situation is a bit of an insult to all of us with memories.

Me too -- it so neatly demonstrates his priorities. And, FWIW, today in his confrontation with Dex, he sounded more like a petulant 15-year old than a powerful godfather. Maybe the new writers will move him to a back burner. I'm pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating when just the other day I heard Joss tell Dex to run -- for her. Why does she now hate Sonny for convincing him to do the same thing?

When Sonny learns that Dex has been loyal to him, I'd like to see him turn on Brick: He could accuse him of being the leak and trying to shift the suspicion on to someone else, or he could be angry that Brick almost caused him to kill a valuable asset. Either way, it'd be a great reason for cutting Brick loose. (And in a perfect world, leaving Brick in the Pine Barrens.)

He didn't appear to care whether they were up or down. He just wanted things to be consistent from room to room. We've often seen more experienced stews telling new stews how to fold sheets under, or how to fold toilet paper. Neither of those things really matter either, but when things appear consistent, it creates an impression of attention to detail, something people would expect for a "luxury" yacht experience. I think plugs up or down is just one more item to put on the checklist to make a room ready.

I think I'm sitting at a table for one regarding this, but I liked it. I liked the idea of the captain doing a walk-through with the chief stew before the first charter of the season, and I liked hearing Captain Kerry talking about the drain stoppers. I think those things showed what a luxury yacht experience should be like. We should have been seeing more little details like this every season. However, I do suspect that Captain Kerry naively thinks this show is actually about the luxury experience and has yet to learn that its focus is on the lowest common denominator of behavior among both the staff and the guests.

I realize Diane is the only woman of appropriate age on the canvas for Robert, but TPTB should just end this now. Better that he be single and looking rather than burdened with a pissy mob apologist. In other news, Brick was just creepy in his scene with Jordan who has now put herself as deputy mayor in bed with the mob. Way to go, deputy mayor!

Unless this is part of the master plan she and Heather concocted.

IMO, At some point during the planning of Bobbie's tribute someone noticed that January 11 was Human Trafficking Awareness Day and whatever was planned was twisted so her memorial and her involvement could coincide with the day. I don't think there was ever any thought given to extending the story. I"m sure TPTB are congratulating themselves on their relevance.

A pack of cigarettes.

Since he was lying there with his eyes only half-closed and later grabbed Dex's arm, I'd say yes, he knew what Dex was up to. I imagine thinking it was at Sonny's bidding would have been his immediate conclusion, whether or not he knew who Dex was.

If he's 18 or older, and legally an adult, then, no. Privacy laws don't allow it. There's an "imminent danger or harm to the self" clause that would allow it, but only if a mental health professional believes that the family is not the cause of the problem.

Ah, yes, the mug that I don't think we'd ever seen until the last couple of days. Way to communicate with the props department, folks.

The wormhole stuff was making me crazy, too, but I'll give it a pass because of the ending. It got pretty dusty in my house at that point. However the whole time they were sitting in the Amsterdam cafe talking and then phoning others about the super secret team of people working to fight the sex traffickers was making me itch. Couldn't they either have gone somewhere less public or had some throwaway line about everyone in there being part of the network?

At least they let him speak, eventually. When people came up to Carly to express sympathy and said nothing to Lucas WHO WAS STANDING NEXT TO HER (!!!), I started to think TIIC had limited him to a non-speaking role because it was cheaper.* He did seem to be glowering at the time, rather than looking mournful, so maybe he was pissed off, too. Leave it to GH to have the person who admittedly didn't know her until adulthood take precedence over someone who was raised by the departed. (*Long ago, I read somewhere long ago that an extra with 3 lines or less was cheaper than one with more dialog, and and have been wondering if what he said amounted to 3 lines.)

This. I was disappointed. The show's been on for 60 years, but we didn't see that history reflected in the clips. There was no need for the Donna Mills-Morgan Fairchild skit and intro. Maybe a better brief introduction to the special should have been done by someone with a stronger association with the show like, I dunno, a longtime actor or even the producer? So much time was spent on "name" celebrities when (IMO) it would have been better to show more of the show's history. I'll forgive them a little bit for the celebration of the fans in Kelly's, but even that was just a setup for what's her name to come out, since no fan actually got to ask a question. If this program had writers produce a script, it just shows how creatively bankrupt they are.

IMO, I don't think Danish originally had any intention of confronting Roy after the debate -- he was at the gas station, getting ready to leave town. Then the state trooper told him that A) Dot was at the compound, and B) Something needed to be done . . . quickly. He did get his phone out, them he made kind of a face, and I interpreted that as deciding, if things were as dire as the state trooper said, that he should forget his original plan to leave and go out to the ranch instead. However, I don't know what he could have done that would have prevented his being killed. Any mention of Dot/Nadine would have signed his death warrant.
