  1. I'm so tired of Peter and feel like the writers probably are too. I wish Helena were still around to comment on how tedious he's become.
  2. Same here. Damn, what a hot, goofy mess. TBS lets Search Party and The Detour go, but airs this crap? Seriously???
  3. His laugh always cracks me up. Sounds like a Cartoon villian.
  4. I'm far from a Gary supporter, but he was 100% correct in telling Katherine that no one would blame her if she walked away. Eddie has put her through more shit than a little bit. If not for the Theo factor, she'd be done already and Eddie knows it. The writers have their work cut out for them in redeeming Eddie. It is very shady, yes. Are we supposed to think this reputable guitar teacher has regularly been hooking up with his underage students? I know it happens, but I wish every show did not feel they need to write in a storyline like this. I think the writers had this planned from the Guitar Teacher's introduction, he gave off a sketchy, "Svengali" kind of predatory vibe even then. It could be another fake-out, as some posters have noted, but it feels like the show's going down the inappropriate relationship road.
  5. Just saw today's episode and all I can say is damn, who turned the Clock back to 1983? This is the GH I loved in College, and really miss so much. No mob stuff, no endless baby shenanigans, just some old-fashioned, character-driven soap based on a rich body of history. Yeah, I know what you mean, it would be more like real life. We never get to see the characters relax and hang out (as people do) without it being storyline driven. Love this classic clip from the Aztec Treasure S/L, featuring Sean, Luke, Laura, Frisco, Felicia, Robert and Holly:. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fNPUHi0-rQ I believe there's another scene in this S/L with all these characters gathered around Mariah's kitchen table, eating breakfast, ad-libbing and having a ball. Great stuff.
  6. Re: Darlene - she was horrible as a young person and seems to have pretty much stayed that way. Of the entire family only DJ seems to have become significantly less awful, and we barely see him. Has anyone else noticed that the Connors barely mention Roseanne when speaking to others outside of the family? Becky made no mention of her Mother passing at dinner with her HS classmate, nor did Darlene when she first encountered Molly. Very odd, and I wonder if that was intentional on the writers' part.
  7. It actually was. And also a pleasant change to see Darlene less miserable for a change. I'm still a little bit confused as to whether Darlene actually cashed in the tickets though. Really nice of Molly to do that, I don't remember Darlene ever really being nice to her. Ben's starting to come off as someone who's just sticking with a losing cause out of stubbornness - or to make a point. He knows who the Connors are (and aren't) at this point. He probably needs a more stable, sensible GF and Darlene needs...I don't know really.
  8. My main reason is that, knowing the end is in sight, I may as well finish the ride and see how it ends on the off chance that some small part of it might be relevant to Superman & Lois... some actual proof that they occupy the actual same Earth maybe? Because you know who’d be the first person I’d ask for help with a busted Phantom Zone projector? Maybe the guy who actually built it and kept it stored in his Fortress? Who’s also Kara’s actual blood relative? Maybe? Just possibly? Nah, let’s find a random space vampire to fix it... and let’s not call Superman when Lex is on the verge of murdering half the planet and brainwashing the other half. That would be silly. YES to everything you've said. I too wonder why a call wasn't put into Cousin Kal. Normally I would say that the writers have given up, with this being the last season and all. But this episode is pretty much a representative sampling of this show's body of work. Oddly enough, I'm also going the distance with SG, which is odd given that I bailed on ST: Enterprise before the final season.
  9. This show will never overcome it's mostly bad writing. Take this episode's title, "A Few Good Women." Between the two of them, Lena and Eve probably have a combined IQ of nearly 1,000. That's more than enough brainpower for the two of them to put Lex out-of-commission, trial or no trial.
  10. Technically, Jason would kill her. He indicated he would murder Diego's mother if she testified about seeing him during the shootout at the MetroCourt Hotel (when Sonny and Jason had no problem with their men murdering innocent people who were witnesses until Jason found out SWSNBN would be a casualty). ABC needs me writing this Soap for one month. If these characters are meant to be badass then write them that way. I would have had Snarly tell Cyrus, "look mama's boy. Stop going around making empty threats or you'll never see mommy again. And then Sonny's capos will make you disappear and the rest of your family until only Martin is left. Now GO AWAY."
  11. This year's Season Primere should have been the last we saw of Lex. There's really nothing left of this character to mine now. Cryer's take on Lex has been great, he's really enjoying himself, for sure. The only Actor I've seen having a better time playing a Super Villain is Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw. But I was really kind of hoping the writers would come up with more interesting baddies for the final season.
  12. Big bad mobster with a ponytail. Evey third word out of his mouth is "mama." Worse than Stavros Cassadine, who I once thought was the worst "mama's boy" of all time (even Luke called him that, lol). But even when talking with Sasha, he had trouble manning up. She asked him what he wanted and his first response was, "What do you want?" If you grow a pair, they might help you get out from under Carly's thumb, kid. Too late. She Beast Sr. already had Mikey spayed and neutered. I did too. But MW was looking particularly gorgeous today.
  13. That being said, if BL were smart, she'd loop Ned in on the scam and benefit from his decades of Q-family scheming. No Brains has this Girl.
  14. James Roday Rodriguez seems to have a big following from Psych, and from what I've read on this site, David Guintoli has a decent fan base from his work on other shows, none of which I've seen. I remember Romany Malco from 40-year-old Virgin and some random sitcoms, but no, other than Grace and James, no one on the cast approaches A-list caliber. That's the ideal play - it will get Rome and Regina the baby they both desperately want, while getting the insufferable Delilah off our screens. Also came back to note that those of you with Comcast/Xfinity can see the entire AMLT cast interviewed live this Wednesday, I believe it's 7:30 pm E/6:30 C.
  15. Sara Gilbert clearly sees her future as a Show-runner, but between this show and The Talk maybe it's not meant to be. As another poster stated over on The Talk thread, it could be that SG just puts her name on projects and then delegates the decision-making to others. What ever's going on, it ain't working.
  16. Getting nostalgic. I remember Dan/Darlene/Becky in the original show's "Dad's extra-thick" milkshake scene in the Kitchen. It was a really sweet Dad/Daughters moment.
  17. Lol, that sounds like kind of a half compliment, but good description. Folks have told me I don't quite know how to give a compliment, yikes. What I meant was Lecy/Becky looked very nice, we almost never get to see the Connors dressed up. Lecy/Becky has always had a very unique, interesting (in a good way) look about her, as opposed to Darlene's perpetually dour countenance.
  18. To quote Eddie Murphy from about 40 years ago (in character as his Grandmother), "That's NASTY. You're NASTY baby." (Said in Little Old Lady Voice). 🤣 So much of this melodrama seems manufactured now. Less than two seasons in, and the show is already repeating itself, e.g., Rome and Regina taking in another lost youth. I just don't know...and there doesn't seem to be anything else on Thursday nights in this time slot... For some reason AMLT always makes me miss Brothers and Sisters. Guess it's because both shows had characters in the same basic age groups, but in the case of the latter show the melodrama was always much more believable, and so was the acting. Katherine and her colleague was so predictable, I just can't any more. A break-up between Katherine and Eddie seems inevitable right now, and if that happens, wonder how Theo will take it?
  19. Lecy cleans up quite nicely, she was borderline stunning in the Black dress. Don't think I've ever felt sadder for a fictional character as when Becky realized her made-up life was the one she really wanted for herself. Totally agree. With Darlene's Mini-"Roseanne-ness", I really don't see how she can ever keep a long-term relationship going with any man that's not like her father.
  20. Shallow note with a business undertone: AF is cute as a button, but no strip club owner looking to make a profit is putting that boyish figure on a Billboard. Plus, wouldn't new customers to the Club be disappointed when they find out "Bambi" (Christy's stripper name because of her big eyes) doesn't work there anymore? We've gotten a few Christy mentions lately and it makes me wonder if AF will be back for the finale. She really should be, but no one's really sure how she left things with CBS and the production company. 🤨
  21. Seriously. Let Cam work through his anger and grief without being so judgey/high horsey. We all know Cam will have to grovel once he learns Jason didn't kill Franco, so let him have his feelings now. I think we can all agree on this: Josslyn will forever be known on this Board as "She-Beast Jr."
  22. I was just thinking the same thing! Liesel was remarkably charming in the bar scene. I wouldn't mind the two of them having some mature loving. I don't think Scotty has gotten any in quite some time, lol. Now, if we could only find him some suits that fit well. Cyrus is a big dude too, and wardrobe usually does right by him.
  23. I actually DO like Valentin now as well as the actor. The writers are using him so well - he interacts with almost every major player on the canvass and does so well. I know he's not a big favorite here, but Luke used to do the very same thing back in the day - he might float in-and-out of S/Ls his character had very little to do with, and we got to see his interesting interaction with a variety of characters. GO VALENTIN!!!!!
  24. Those eyebrows give her away every time.
  25. Yeah like 98 pounds of Elizabeth is going to hurt anybody. Cyrus ruins everything. Laura seemed so happy to have another sibling. I think she and Martin will reconcile at some point in the future, maybe after Cyrus's timely demise. Liesel did seem to inspire fear in Peter for the very first time. Interesting.
