  1. Well Tucker certainly handled Daniel with more kindness than I would've expected. Daniel came in hot and Tucker stayed cool and calm despite it being clear Daniel wasn't operating on full knowledge of the Tucker vs Phyllis situation. Ugh, IMO Ashley should not have sent Abby in to fight her battle with Jack. Guess she knew Jack wouldn't go hard on his niece the way he would've with her or Tucker. Of course Phyllis was still lying to Summer about what EMT Carson claims to have seen when Phyllis killed Stark. Of course. But it was amazing to me that she told Summer pretty much everything else, albeit slanted in Phyllis' favor. Nikki: your boyfriend admitted to me he doesn't love you, Victoria. Victoria: ah, Nate says stuff like that all the time. Do I seem worried or upset? Nikki: well, to be honest, you look rode hard and put-- Joi: get out of my head, Nikki! Wow, Abby. Uncle Jack has to leave his wife at home while he attends his backstabbing sister's wedding? Are you for real? You're not Switzerland, Abs, you're the ambassador for GC's Axis of Evil. Audra spilled the whole bag of rotten, unwashed beans to Nate. Not sure I understand why she trusts him with such dangerous information though. He could fire her and then take credit with Victor for sparing NE a potential scandal. Saints be praised! Has Summer finally given up on Phyllis and all her twisted excuses? There might yet be hope for the poor deluded child. Jack, you ARE going to regret it. Abby's being played by Ashley and so are you. Gah. No, it's not Phyllis finally doing the right thing for unselfish reasons is it? But I don't see the angle if Christine won't let her use EMT Carson as a get out of jail free card.
  2. Heh, it must've been like when that guy in the Indiana Jones movie opened the Ark of the Covenant. Maybe that's why lately Sharon has been acting she's not hooked up right. Gazing upon Chance in his natural state has scrambled her circuits. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🥴🥴🥴🍌🍌🍌 Absolutely. Don't even try it, JG. EB has already put his foot in his mouth over the Marco storyline. No need to make it worse.
  3. What the heck was Sharon tripping on? She was acting so frigging loopy. I don't know someone in the restaurant didn't ask her if she needed medical attention. I liked the color of Audra's outfit. Not so much as matching lipstick though. Daniel, have you met your sister before? She alternates between being a prima donna and deeming herself a victim, just like your mommy does. Stop trying to reason with her. Besides, neither Summer nor Phyllis are inclined to be totally honest with you about their crimes. Geez, Nate's junk must be coated in crack. Victoria made a beeline directly from the airport to get on it, probably before she even checked on her kids or the office. Tucker told Phyllis she needed to work on opening up her chakras. Heh, I bet Red's chakras would run away screaming if she so much as glanced in their direction. Interesting how everyone knows where Adam lives now. Maybe he sent an announcement to the GC Chronicle, tee hee. They probably have a database just for Newmans. 😏 Was Heather a mob boss lawyer earlier in her career? She seems utterly unbothered by the possibility of Phyllis suborning perjury. Wait until she finds out Phyllis has to pay EMT Carson for his testimony. Not sure why Tucker gave Vikki and Sidepiece a heads-up on Audra's potential liability in her role as acting head of NM. He hardly owes them any favors unless he's hoping they'll go on the attack against Adam. FFS, Adam, how do you expect Audra to pull off something you as Victor's own son have been unable to? Now Daniel's stepping to Tucker? Please. Or what, Daniel? Well it's about time. I've been saying all along Christine should've recused herself from Phyllis' case due to their bad history. Heather took a while to get there but better late than never I suppose.
  4. Guess the subpace fold was a big fan of old Broadway standards from Earth. I liked the choral styling of the theme song. Heisenberg compensator. It is the one who knocks. It's still fascinating to me that so far in the future women could still get pregnant by accident. How TOS Kirk doesn't end up with kids all over the universe is a wonder but perhaps by then reproductive science has advanced substantially. My favorite comment from reddit: Sufficient amount of Pike but yikes, he's about to lose his girlfriend in the worst possible way, isn't he?
  5. Goodness gracious, is that a real baby or a doll? Whatever, if anyone's taking a vote I'm going with Chance as his father. That beautiful little boy is is going to be slaying as soon as he enters pre-school.
  6. Just wanted to clarify that the comment this was replying to was from our dear boes and not me. Apparently all it takes to be a smart businesswoman is to run around with a tablet, taking meetings and spouting buzzwords you read on Wikipedia. Easy peasy.
  7. Not sure I understand why it's "strange." Are actresses not supposed to get pregnant unless the character they play can too? No matter because Hunter Tylo (formerly Taylor on B&B) already fought and won that battle in court back in 1996. Producer Aaron Spelling fired her from a role she had been hired to play on primetime soap Melrose Place, after he learned she was pregnant. The character she was to play was supposed to be a sexy seductress and Spelling felt her body would not fit the audience's expected image. (Lisa Rinna filled the part instead of Tylo.) Spelling ended up having to pay Tylo nearly $5M for discrimination and since then actresses are not getting fired due to their being pregnant. Their shows either work around it with props or they write the pregnancy into a storyline. On rare occasions a pregnant actress will depart a show by their own choice. That said, I don't remember the last time Y&R wrote an actress' pregnancy into a storyline. Was it back when Victoria was pregnant with Reed, or later when Hilary and her unborn baby died in the car accident Lily caused? (Oh and BTW, Cassie's long been dead. Her corpse can't get pregnant. 😏)
  8. Camryn Grimes (Mariah) and her fiancé are expecting a baby in December 2023. Here is a link to her announcement on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CviXbg0yQVf/?hl=en Congrats to her! Seriously, is there something in the drinking fountain water at Y&R? MCE (Chelsea) just had her baby, CK (Lily) is expecting but the due date hasn't been announced yet, and now Camryn. Babies on board!
  9. There must have been a recent budget influx at Y&R. People are wearing different clothes almost every day now and the women characters appear to be getting their hair did. Hmm. Yikes, Sharon's jumbo gumball cheeks. Looked to me like she'd done something to her chin too because it was more pronounced today. It seems entirely possible to me that l33t haxx0r Phyllis planted the alleged blackmail evidence on the McCall Unlimted systems herself. Yeah, that's the ticket! 🤡 Adam, Adam, Adam. Let it go! Sally is not for you and resurrecting Shick is not the answer. You're stuck on pathetic. Daniel needs to form a support group with Abby called Adult Children Whose Parents Lie Right to Their Faces for Their Own Selfish Reasons. Why does Phyllis keep trying to sell her nonsense to him? Tucker vs. Adam: The showdown I 100% knew I wanted. But yuck on Phyllis having these two titans clashing over her fate. She made her bed full of her own sh!t; let her lay in it. Ehh, Ashley's going to pull something against Diane and Jack at the Chancellor Mansion wedding, isn't she? Abby doesn't even know how badly she being used by her mommy against her uncle. I have mixed feelings about Sharon getting agressively smug with Phyllis the way she did in Society today. IMO it was unnecessary and could prove to be an unforced error. Sharon really should've moved beyond her and Phyllis' bad old history but Phyllis probably makes it hard on a subconscious level. "Nothing I can't handle." Tucker, if you're not going to put a hit out on Phyllis, find a way to send her back into a coma. FGS, don't let the Red Menace win. You got this!
  10. Ugh, I am so sick of Phyllis going on about how she does everything to protect her kids. Sure Jan. She was definitely looking out for Daniel when she sided with the woman who drugged and raped him simply because that evil POS Daisy got pregnant. Imagine the reverse: if Summer was drugged raped by some guy and got pregnant, and Phyllis decided it was more important to protect the rapist than her daughter merely because he was the sperm donor. I cannot wrap my head around it. I haven't watched today's show yet but an idea has struck me in the interim: what if Adam wants to use Phyllis to hack into Newman Media and mess it up to the point where Victoria and Victor decide to dump it? He's playing a long game and Tucker is possible collateral damage. Tucker should've stayed out of the Phyllis vs. Diane war. I got no problem with seeing Chance in as few clothes as legally possible in public.
  11. Say it louder so the people in the back can hear. ICAM, this new development with Tucker is getting close to a point of no return for him as an acceptable character. Both Ashley and Devon will drop Tucker like he's radioactive waste and he'll likely face legal consequences. If the story is true (did Adam even verify the facts?) there's no defending Tucker's actions. And I don't see how Audra escapes some blame either. OMG, I love this. Yep. The hold those two have on this show is b.s., IMO. Both of them are past their expiration dates AFAIC and are lazily resting on their laurels. Ashland was a powerhouse challenger to the GC boss billionaire throne but he came out of thin air. Tucker already has established history in GC to build upon and TSJ's version has chemistry with pretty much everyone. Yesterday's awful development with Tucker makes me want to vomit.
  12. Since when is Sally such a starry-eyed naif? She better listen to Chloe. Working for Victor = almost guaranteed regret, sometimes even when your last name is Newman. Oy, I'm thinking maybe MTS needs to ease up on the weight loss. She's starting to look a bit gaunt in the face to me. Hope she's okay, Kind of sloppy for Tucker to have used emails and texts when he and Audra covered up that statutory rape scandal with his company. Those things live forever on someone's server unless the server is wiped, but he didn't even bother to delete them. Talk about a ticking time bomb. Aw yiss, Nikki the Newman Family Enforcer giving Nate a come to Jesus talk about his career ambitions at NE. Loved it. He better stay in his lane because Nikki does not play. Nate actually admitted he's pretty much after Nikki's job at NE. Hmm, I might see a sudden, mysterious illness in Nikki's future. One that will force her to "retire." 🤔 Elena! So she hasn't dropped off the face of the earth. And she's done something different with her hair. Cute. FFS, Christine should stop interacting with Phyllis, at least while she's prosecuting a criminal case against her. Seems to me it would be unethical if Phyllis' lawyer isn't present. Odd that neither Nate nor Nikki noticed Elena in their peripheral vision at the GCAC. She apparently was sitting close enough to overhear their conversation. (The acoustics in the dining room must rival Carnagie Hall's.) Nikki warned Nate that if he hurt Victoria he'd be shown the exit door and handed a severance package on his way out. But that dummy was still making his "challenge accepted" face. 🙄 Oh, Christine, you just stepped in it big time. You should not be negotiating deals directly with a defendant, especially one with whom you have a long, emotional history. Are you trying to lose the case? Countdown to when Sally and Adam are having a heart-to-heart talk about grief in the privacy of his condo. 😏 Tucker, my guy, how did you leave yourself so vulnerable to blackmail? Now you'll have to have Phyllis disappeared, lol. But you first better make her tell you how she found out.
  13. Come on, Diane, you cannot seriously think you and Jack will still be together 10 years from now. Who do you think you two are, Lauren & Michael? Chance slobbering all over Sharon's mouth right in front of her coffeehouse customers. Yikes. Stop trying to be schmoopy, fella. Billy Abbott, Agent 00 Oh No, licensed to ill. I was cracking up at the James Bond poses Billy kept striking, as if he had a Walther PPK in his pants and he wasn't afraid to shoot...one of his nuts off. Just when I hoped Tucker had managed to screw some of the whackiness out of Ashley. Nope, in the light of a new day she was still obsessed with Diane & Jack and it seemed to be straining Tucker's patience. Summer, you little tattletale! You didn't need to rat Kyle's affair with Audra out to his parents. What do you expect them to do, send him to his room without dinner when he gets back from his trip? Giiirrrlll. I saw you, Chance, checking out Summer's rear view again. 😏 Geez, Summer. In the presence of the incandescence that is Chance, don't keep whining about Kyle. Are you dense? Like Devo sang, you need to 🎶Go forward! Move ahead!🎶 And then things got hella messy in public for Chance. Lol, handle your wimmens, playboy. Especially since Sharon seems to have called dibs on you. Ashley: I've seen it clearly, Billy. You can fix everything. Billy: you want me to push Diane's buttons. Joi: no, Bill, she wants you to get so stressed that you start gambling again and blow all of Jabot's profits. Your sister's obviously a few cards short of a full deck. Gah! Summer sure bowed out gracefully when Sharon interrupted the low-rent picnic and refused to leave Chance's side. But what was the wistful look Summer had? Is she going to enter the fray for Chance? Let's go!
  14. I dunno, Chance is not in a committed relationship with Sharon so if he gets down and dirty with Summer I'm not going to see it as cheating. If Sharon expects Chance not to sleep with other women I think she better sit him down for a DTR conversation so they're both on the same page. Odds are though, Sharon will do some coffeehouse therapist work on Kyle and try to push him to reunite with Summer. Audra's still a wild card though and I can't see her being intimidated or manipulated by Sharon to leave Kyle alone. Messiness!
  15. Yes, those scenes with Phyllis and Adam alone in his condo yesterday really made it evident what a lazy actress she has become, IMO. MS rolled out all her tics--especially her mugging faces--but MG held firm. I think both Grossman and Graziadei tend to elevate the performances of the actors they're in scenes with but a few of the older vets are stuck in their ways. This is one of the reasons why I'd be surprised if they ever put Jack and Phyllis back together. PB is another one who generally won't lower the quality of his performance (though he has a couple of tics too, such as Jack's thin-lipped grimace). Now Jack and Phyllis would probably fit together like oil and water.
  16. Ashley has gone 100% whackadoodle. Sweetums, you are not the center of Diane & Jack's universe, despite your deepest wishes and desires. Heh, Chance was totally checking Summer out when she had her back to him in the coffeehouse. Play on, player. 😘 So Adam did move into Lily and Billy's former condo. He wisely got rid of their couch, hah hah. "Willful disruption of the family business." Say what now, Tucker? Either he's drunk Ashley's nut-flavored koolaid wrt to Diane & Jack's quickie marriage, or he's saying whatever he needs to to stay on Ashley's good side. Again I wondered why Summer doesn't have galpals she can talk to instead of Chance. IMO he shouldn't be compromising himself professionally just so he can be her first option when she decides she needs some stress-relieving body-to-body contact. Look at Adam leading with his intellect instead of his emotions. Phyllis didn't know how to take it. I liked how calmly and directly he handled her. Um, Devon, you clearly have forgotten who owns Chancellor Mansion now. Technically it is not your and Tucker's legacy. If Kay had wanted that she wouldn't have left the estate to Jill instead of to her son or grandson. Is Y&R doing social distancing again? I noticed forced perspective camera angles being used in some scenes today. Daniel's colorful tats. Not a fan. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Devon is going to be Tucker's Best Man. Bet Dominic will be the ring bearer (assuming the Ashley & Tucker wedding actually happens). He can call his cousin Harrison for advice and tips.
  17. Somewhere out there Erica Kane is reading this and thinking, "Well now. This Sharon Newman person is putting up my kind of numbers. How dare she challenge my status as the soap GHOAT.*" *Greatest Heaux of All Time
  18. Is he going to beat the can like a drum? If not, I imagine said relations would be pretty much like him tossing a single Vienna sausage down a long hallway. 😼 Had to think about this for a minute because Sharon altered the test results in Jack's favor. By hacking into MS-Word. Or was it WordPerfect? 🙄 Hey, don't give the show any free ideas. Make them pay you, lol.
  19. If only Real Nick actually went hard on Phyllis the way Daydream Nick did. At least he'd be dressed like he didn't just roll out of bed. Victor had to go get investors for Adustus? I thought he was running everything Newman-related, and he had all the money. Investors mean outsiders up in NE's internal affairs and Victor doesn't usually tolerate that. Of course when Summer and Daniel weren't buying her "I've reformed" act, Phyllis turned on the fake tears. Of course. Ehh, don't do it, Mariah. Sharon's job offer to join her new corporate conglomerate is a clusterfcuk waiting to happen. Plus you'll actually be working for Victor and he's a lot even on a good day. Why did Phyllis need to get her kids' approval to accept Adam's job offer? Geez, Mariah is talking herself into leaving Jabot. Had to laugh at Sharon offering to speak with Jack on her behalf. OMG, Sharon, Mariah isn't a child. She can handle her own grownup life. Oh, okay, Phyllis wants Summer to run interference with Nick for her. Sigh, she won't stop manipulating her ADULT kids! Adam and Nick are still arguing over calling the company Adustus. Seriously. Guess they can't see the forest for the trees full of rabid beasts whose names sound like Icktor and Icktoria. Sigh, Adam, it's not about whether Sharon and Nick think you can change. AFAIC, the issue is whether you want or feel a need to proceed differently in the face of a father determined to keep you under his thumb. I don't like how JG is using the characters' own tortuous dialogue to justify his plot-driven writing. Some of these current and impending plots are IMO relying on out-of-character behavior by many of the people involved. Some of them also contradict established show history. Is he going to retcon the entire 50 years of Y&R? So what happened with Summer and Chance? The last time we saw them they looked like they were about to kiss, or at least hug a lot, lol.
  20. I made several follow-on comments to clarify my position and I stand by my opinion. This is quite a blast from the past. Wonder why this show got renewed interest?
  21. Thanks for the info. It's already been discussed upthread why Y&R is still in production despite the writers and actors strikes. The only thing that's changed since then is GH has run out of pre-strike scripts and is allegedly now using writers who are effectively crossing the picket line. IMO, if we're going to continue talking about the strikes, there should be a separate thread set up for it. I watched the show live today and it really hit me how EP/Head Writer JG is steering the storylines to support whatever limitations are being imposed upon him behind the scenes. (Or maybe he's just a hack writer. 😩)
  22. It was worth watching just to hear Erykah Badu's modified version of "Tyrone." I wonder which came first, the concept for film or the idea to tie it to Miss Badu's classic song? The retrofuture blaxploitation vibe was perfect though it took me a minute to pick up on it. For example, people in the 70s would not have been talking about blockchain or using cellphones. I guess the story was supposed to be happening in the early-2000s? The whole repeat cloning thing gave me a headache but the premise was an imaginative way of explaining why so many so-called "urban" areas are similar across the US. And why hair straightener, malt liquor, fried chicken, grape drank, and holy roller meets trap gospel churches are endemic to predominantly Black populaces, presumably to their detriment given certain possible bad heath or financial consequences. Nice touch to have Kiefer Sutherland in this since his father starred in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Whoever produced/wrote this movie really thought that through. John Boyega does an excellent American accent, and in particular an AAVE-flavored one. I've noticed many British actors being unable to suppress their native accent during intense, emotional scenes but I didn't detect on any mistakes in Boyega's pronunciations in this movie. Would love to have been in the room when Jordan Peele--probably--watched this. I think it's kind of what his film Us was driving at, but TCT leaned more toward sci fi than horror. I wouldn't mind a sequel.
  23. Starring John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx.
  24. Pike is main reason I watch this show but the "fixation" is my tongue-in-cheek observation of Anson Mount's relative absence this season. I think when they were filming he and his wife were enjoying their newborn baby.
  25. That Klingon headpiece wasn't quite right to me. I thought it looked fake even within the context of the show. A moon called J'Gal. Heh, it should've been inhabited by female journalism students. Clint Howard! He was quite a blast from the Star Trek past. Not sure how to take ending or whether to view M'Benga as a hero. I think if everyone took it upon themselves to exert vigilante justice civilized society would disintegrate. Babs Olusanmokun did outstanding work in this episode though and IMO should get an Emmy nomination for it. Not enough Pike, and I didn't care for how relatively passive and oblivious he was in this episode. But I suppose in his position he had no choice but at least to give the appearance of respecting Dak'Rah's status.
