Luke and Rayna's "X-mas Special" (good Lord, everything about this couple makes me want to barf) was the fakest fake that ever faked in the history of fakery! A gruesomely charmless version of "Baby, It's Fake In Here." They don't even harmonize well. They're icky. Please make them stop.
Avery and Juliet are kind of cute, even if Juliette's kind of lost her mind.
Still don't care about Jeff and Layla, even though he acted almost like a person.
Bye, Zoey!

So the fact that Adrienne went to that place immediately really underlines what a big deal Sonny and Paul's relationship was for Sonny. Which corresponds nicely with the fact that Sonny not only kissed Paul back, he had a second round of kissing with Paul. That's a really strong pull Paul has on him. No wonder Adrienne is freaking out, and Sneasel better watch out.
Ordinarily, I'd agree that Adrienne's reaction should indicate something more is in play, and possibly this is even what the writers intend (so far as I am ever able to infer any intention from the writers). But it's Adrienne. She's made freaking out about other people's business her life's work.

There has to be more to why Adrienne doesn't like Paul besides the obvious.
Does there? I think Adrienne is pretty devoted to the obvious. The writers certainly are.

Not to defend what the show is doing with Katrina, but I think at least part of the problem is that the writers found themselves in a tight spot once the decision was made not to kill off Katrina in the pilot. It's one thing to use magic as part of the premise, but once Katrina was alive and interacting with the Witnesses, actually having a stupendously powerful witch on the team changes the balance of the plot too much. All of the limits on Katrina's powers are there for completely plot-derived reasons, so as not to have everything solved by magic, and that leaves us with being told one thing ("Katrina's powerful!") and being shown the exact opposite ("Katrina's a less useful version of Aunt Clara from Bewitched!") (Also: I'm old.) It's a fundamental problem, as well as a rookie mistake.
I actually don't even mind Ichabod's scruples about killing his own son so much; I do object to Henry's being turned into a whiny brat.
But where does Katrina's nickname "Struggle Witch" come from? I feel like I've missed something along the way.

Imagine if Ben were a figment of Grabbigail's imagination, though? Ollie Vinyl Chloride is a sextoy who lives in Abigail's bedroom closet, and "Ben," his human counterpart, is her fantasy of the perfect boyfriend. That would be AWESOME.

You wouldn't believe how tempted I am to answer "Genetics?" right now.
This made me laugh, and I'm a Sami fan. BUT sometimes the truth doesn't hurt so much as it makes me laugh. Of COURSE Sneasel would think his "immense" talent" would take precedence over any and everything else - and be as annoyed as Sami would get when everyone else didn't immediately "see" that.
Lucas has his douche-tastic moments, too. I'm just sayin'.

Judging by that interview, Goffman's hot for Katrina, and will find reasons to keep her in the show. He knows the character's not awesome, despite the show's insistence (and his own) to the contrary.

Hawley: Uh, Mrs. Crane...
Jenny: It's okay, she's a witch.
Hawley: ... Oh. [to Crane] Nice one!

My favourite for Roman is still Commissioner Grampa Mumbleteeth.
Also: (B)Ollie Vinyl Chloride -- 'cause he's just a plastic sex toy.
ETA: Oooh, ooh! I can't believe this one took me this long: Summer's Eve -- 'cause she's acting kind of douche-y.

Yes, you must've missed sub sex. It can't be forgotten.
It can, however, be partially blocked out. Until now. Ack.
Adrienne will probably take Sonny's side and try to blame Will ...You know this is guaranteed to happen, whatever else may occur. And-Another-Thing Adrienne will blame Will. It's a foregone conclusion. Like Grabbigail bumping hard plastic uglies with BOllie Vinyl Chloride.

Either way, I think It will end up that Will will have had good reason to behave like a douche ...

Double standard when BOllie looks like he could earn extra money doing porn on the side.
"On the side"? Wouldn't that and "extra money" imply that he's, you know, actually doing his primary job? Because I don't think he's actually been doing enough at Club Too Damn Bad (... yeah, I know) to justify regular wages. He gets all snitty with Even Stupider Chad about his boss having better things to do than ... be his boss, and then goes back to the club, only to leave in under two minutes to go rub his Ken Doll parts all over Grabbigail? That's pretty casual about gainful employment, even for Salem.

Marion Cotillard is so overrated. ... Her performance in the Dark Knight was comical.Compared to whatever the hell it was that Tom Hardy was doing as Bane, I thought Cotillard's performance was relatively sound. The character didn't make a lot of -- what was it? Oh, right: sense -- but she did as much with it as anyone could, I thought.

Thank goodness Zoey told Gunnar where to shove his dumbass son and his expectations that she'll drop everything to be a nanny, cook and chauffeur for him.
She didn't, really. I think she mentioned at the awards venue that she couldn't keep her eyes on the kid every minute, but in breaking up with him, she said she didn't want him to have to choose between her and his son, so she stepped aside (::sob::) . If she had actually said that he was treating her as if she was the nanny, cook and chauffeur, and that she had a right to expect better, I think I'd have applauded. As it was, ehh.
In a way, I'm surprised that prenup(s) didn't come up at Ruke (puke)'s big meeting where the tour-slash-marriage was planned by the handlers, with occasional grudgingly accepted input from the Happy Couple . That seems like the kind of thing Luke's people would have been all over.

Is Eric's new set the same as BOllie's Bachelor Pad of Incessant Plastic Friction? I could have sworn it's the same set, redressed (you should pardon the expression).

I don't think Ben/Ollie is attractive at all.
And, well, Mel did seem horrified.

So maybe it's not that people can cross town in the blink of an eye, it's that time itself is kind of ... elastic around Salem? I'M SO CONFUSED. Up is down, days take months, BOllie is considered attractive ... someone hold me.

Everyone needs a vacation sometime; guess it's just my bias showing through.

Is it possible that the show has made a(nother) mistake in having Sneasel take off for so long? Is the audience going to care when Wilson (and WilSon) comes back? I know marital conflict is a soap staple, but I think the connection between NuWill and Sonny is becoming so attenuated that the audience's investment in these two will be gone. The overall effect may be less "Can this marriage be saved?" than "Is that guy still on this show?" Absence may make the heart grow fonder, or it may just make the viewer go "Enhh..."

I'm not sure it mattered that the gym teacher was never supposed to get the note; as I understood it, once the civics teacher became aware of it, the school's protocol required her to inform the principal. The school certainly behaved as if the potential effect of the note was more important than the intention behind it. Once the school decided to treat it as a real threat, the fact that it was never delivered to the supposed "target" became immaterial. I also think that Alicia was trying to avoid emphasizing that the gym teacher wasn't ever supposed to know about it (that is, underlining the idiocy of Grace's behaviour) in order to spare Grace's feelings.

So what if the new TBD isn't near BOllie's apartment? Does he not have a car? Does Salem not have any public transportation?
Since people seem to be able to cross town in the blink of an eye anyway (when the plot demands it), I hardly think BOllie's commute requires its own plotline. Hell, people zip around so instantaneously that half the time it seems like there's either a trans-dimensional fault line running through the middle of the town or there's a TARDIS-bush just outside Horton Town Square.

Totally bugging me too, wondering if [the two Harvey's thing]'s accidental or on purpose. It's got to be on purpose, right?
I think it must be. I have no idea what the purpose is, but I'm certain there is one.
S03.E09: Two Sides To Every Story
in Nashville [V]

I agree; Zoe's interactions with everybody else seem calculated for maximum tears and minimum development. For what's it's worth, I thought that Gunnar was being naive (because ... he's Gunnar) about maybe getting back to the way things were with Zoe, but I don't think he was actually manipulating the situation (to keep her in the band only if she agreed to get back together with him, for example). I think Zoe's "new life" could implode pretty quickly. Unless I missed something, Zoe doesn't have friends or family in LA, and without an agent or prospects or experience as a solo artist or a support system, she could just turn back to Nashville once LA fails to fall instantly at her feet. Getting canned from her backup gig and then bailing on her last show in Nashville can't do her reputation much good.
I actually feel bad for Will, because I think Mr. Bourbon Stout Guy was attractive to him because of the intimacy and openness he represented, rather than as just some random hookup, whether Will is prepared to admit it or not. I think this might actually mark the beginning of Will's inching out of the closet, but I've been wrong about the plot of this show before. Also, I agree that Avery and Gunnar were kind of making goo-goo eyes at each other during their song. (More Future Ex Drama?)
I disagree that Rayna's professionalism carried her through that holiday travesty with Luke; I think it looked abundantly, awkwardly clear even when the cameras were rolling, that Rayna would rather have been elsewhere. Besides, how can they be taping a Christmas show in November or December? Isn't it standard in the industry to get holiday tv specials in the can by July? At this point, I'm not sure in Luke and Rayna even like each other. Will and Layla seem to be getting along better and I'm sure they have more in common than Rayna and Luke (including that whole liking-to-sleep-with-dudes thing.)
