    So Bree and Roger are first cousins seven times removed?   Heh.  

    It's sad that I was trying to figure that out for most of the episode!  I actually think it's more like second cousins five or six times removed.  Bree's grandmother is Ellen MacKenzie Fraser and Roger's seven times removed grand father is Dougal MacKenzie.   That makes Bree's second cousin Dougal's grandchild...it's all very confusing!!

    He was really gross about it too. He held Dante at gunpoint, taunted him about how he (Sonny) was never going to be convicted because no one would ever find Dante's  body, and after that he shot him. Dante didn't know Sonny was his father either when he was infiltrating Sonny's mob. Sonny felt extra betrayed because he had liked Dante.

    Wow, @ulkis,how old is that quote?  I don't even remember making it!

  3. They did say last year that Jack was in the Pacific, so I think that disqualifies him.  To the best of my knowledge, they have never said where Sousa served.  So, it's kind of for that reason alone, I think it's Sousa.  I can see them throw in that he was among those that Cap rescued in The First Avenger  (I think there were walking wounded.)

  4. Is it just me or have they totally ignored BM?  And, as a Christmas wish, can the continue to ignore BM?

     

    Donna takes the cake in this one.  From her screams at finding the ring (having been by to visit before, I'm shocked it took her this long) to her and Lance (they are just too cute together!)  CR gets the gold star.  And I would love for Laurel to find out due to Felicity's babbling at some point.  

     

    On that note, I was really avoiding the anvils in the Laurel/Quentin convo about if he/she lost the other.  And I really couldn't tell which one they were aimed at.  So much more effective that the "Next time on Arrow" bit at the end.  

     

    Olicity-So GREAT!  And having read some other stuff here, I am thinking they may not be breaking up over BM/Will.  Who I will continue to ignore, like the show seemed to this week.

  5. I will say, it ended a) just as I'd hoped and b) just as I expected. Not to say it was bad though. They ramped up everything to a point midway through that I had a knot in my stomach. I was really scared there for Fitz and Coulson. Hell, I was half scared there for Mack and Daisy too.

    I am doing a little happy dance that Ward is dead, even if the body's still moving. And I am curious to see where they go with "Ward" now.

    But, alas, I won't get those answers for another three months. Until then, I enjoy some fun in the Forties sun with Peggy, the Jarvises Sousa and whoever else they introduce in Season Two of "Agent Carter".

  6. I thought of that too, especially when Nina asked for a bigger budget to create splashier, more fashion forward spreads, and Julian stated he wouldn't be giving them any money and see what they can do on social media, which seems to be what TIIC have GH do now, except they have them keep cutting the budget.

    Word has it that Frank is furiously rewriting scripts so it wouldn't surprise me if that was one of the rewrites.

  7. I've been flip-flopping on whether to ask this question, because everybody seems so much in agreement that it could be seen as trolling...but here it is. Is there someone else not looking forward to the new Starwars?

     

    Because:

    1) I dislike pretty much everything JJ Abrams has ever done. (I heard he did good for Star Trek but I don't like Star Trek...the way I don't like Laurel).

    2) The only sequel I'd ever accept is an adaptation of  the Timothy Zahn trilogy (and the duology that followed, but it was pretty much damage control with all the crap made in between imo, so I don't know if it could be relevant in a non-crappy timelime). I was OK with waiting for ten or fifteen more years for that.

     

    Come and sit next to me!  Those are my two issues with the new SW.  And I really hated the first ST reboot.  HAATE!!  The only thing that saved the second one was Benedict Cumberbach and that I really love Khan to begin with.  I really enjoyed the entire Universe the novels created and with TFA, it's all gone.

     

    I am going to go see it, but I'm waiting for the Sunday after Christmas to go to the 16 plex (It's attached to a mall and where I live, we still have blue laws.)

  8. I can't stand carly but I find it so out of character for her that she doesn't hate Kiki.

     

    It's totally in character for the Carly of the last three to four years.  Remember, the one that believed TODD MANNING over her bestie Jason?  The one who felt sorry for and cozied up to, the serial killer/rapist who tormented her friends and family?  So, in keeping with that spirit, I can totally see Carly not believing Kiki could pull this (and I'm no longer even watching this show.)

  9. I'm not reading through five pages of comments, so I'm not sure if this was touched on but...Oliver convincing Quentin to be his inside man with Darhk makes me feel even stronger that it'll be Quentin in the grave.  He's talked him into it and when DD finds out Lance is playing him, he'll be a dead man.  Just me?  Okay, I'll show myself out.

  10. My general order of baseball team preference goes as follows:

     

    1.  Yankees...always Yankees.

    2.  Orioles.  I went to college in MD, so a little of the orange and black bled into me.

    3.  Cubs.  Come on!  After 106 years, the deserve it.

    4-28.  Really don't give a flying fuck.  

    29.  Mets.  I do loathe the,  Sorry, not sorry for no NYC loyalty.

    30.  Red Sox.  The most heartbreaking moment of my fandom was when the Sox won the Series.

  11. As for my two cents...5% of me thinks it's Felicity who's in the grave (mostly because the other 95% is screaming "No, No, NOOOOOO!!!).  But I am getting the feeling it's Lance.  I just feel like him working with DD is spelling his end.  They also talked in the interviews about him losing the moral high ground on Oliver.  His death would even them out again, in a way.

     

    I will say, I kept praying when Oliver was at the headstone that he NOt put the ring on it.  The scene of him hiding it made me think it would reappear again.

  12. Hi, I'm MSquared and  I've been on the Barge since, oh, mid-March.  Funny enough, I got a job that was finally perfect for watching GH (not to mention three weeks on illness and a week in the hospital) and it was then that I threw up my hands about the show.  The reasons?  Franco, Nina, Sonny,Franco, Carly, Michael turning back back to the dark side, Luke's general shit story/performance, Franco and my general enjoyment of the schadenfreude of what Frank is getting.

    I thought it was a huge step for Todd as a character to do two things when he came back. The first thing was his accepting Sam, who was Blair's child not only by another man, which was an echo of the Baby Jack mess, but by the man who had specifically taken over Todd's life, taken his wife and his children. The Todd of a decade prior would never have done that, and in fact did the exact opposite; he would've scorched the earth. But Todd didn't have that in him anymore - or at least, he didn't when it came to the people he loved. (By contrast, he had no problem destroying Sam and Jason's lives on GH and taking their child to try and help Téa, which IMO makes perfect sense for his twisted morality.)

     

    I hated the whole idea of killing off Victor III, ESPECIALLY when the audience knew the father was still alive.  It was completely ridiculous and wasteful.  And I hated the new dead baby lie/baby switch because it was redundant to the character of Todd.  But I do have to applaud that twisted morality that did lead Todd to do it.   Combined with Heather whispering in his ear about the child being a product of rape and his own, by then evident, guilt over Victor's "death", those set ups for the eventual reveal were very well done, as was the reveal (I still vividly remember RoHo practically trying to hide in a corner off the hospital as John laid the whole thing out for Tea.  No hamming, not mugging, but the deeply emotional acting as he felt the pain of remembering all he did.)

  14. kristabell, your assessment is generally correct except for one thing...it was as 2011-2012 timeline.  In November of 2011, PP realized the time to get it off the round or lose the characters, so they began to (seemingly) get their ducks in a row.  That was when, over at GH, FV was rushing to really push the OLTL characters into GH fully.  That's why we had the horror that was NYE 2012 after Todd went from mooning over getting Blair back after her non-wedding to declaring that Carly "was the only friend he ever had!"  And the PR where it was put out in the soap rags how the OLTL 3 didn't want to go back to OLTL.  (How fast did RoHo scamper to CT?)

  15. And my dad was asking me about this yesterday.  I dissuaded him from it then, and just made him chuckle with your comments, only sealing his decision.  For him, keeping computer systems simple keeps me sane!

    The show was technically already renewed through Sep 2016, but ABC could cancel it at anytime. I think, and I could he mistaken, that if they did cancel it say tomorrow that everyone would be paid forested they would have had the run show until that whatever day in Sep 2016.

     

    What I was thinking was that September renewal.  Frank would be ramping up to for a renewal beyond 2016.
