Price not anticipating that the journalist's testimony would be useless took me right out of the episode. I also wondered why she agreed to testify since she knew the defense would want to know who her source was.

Sure but using two syllables to replace an acronym that is pronounced simply as one doesn't make sense to me. That's mostly why it got my attention. Not advocating for sexual assault, especially a gang rape. Odds are they were going to end her life afterward anyway. That would've eliminated a persistent problem for Franklin. Now Louie will likely come after him for, in her mind, getting Jerome killed. I still think he should've left the situation between Kane and her alone. He has enough trouble coming for murdering Teddy's daddy.

Pretty sure that was Hilary. They also showed a scene being filmed with Sharon and Chance at the coffeehouse. I think it was the one where he was telling her he had experience doing programming when he was in the military.

It sounds like Vadic pronounces Jean-Luc's last name as "Picar" without the ending consonant. Is that an affectation on her part or is she just mocking the French language? Worf is not a hugger. Attack Tribble. Will's got jokes. Geordi is a hugger. I think Jack and Sidney are fun together and wouldn't mind a spinoff with them going rogue while they commiserate about their fathers. 😉 Data! Sorta. Yeah that has to be a Changeling instead if the real Deanna Troi. But wouldn't Vadic know Will would assume that?

Thanks for posting that CBS Sunday Morning segment. Boy did it have "party line" written all over it. It's interesting to me who was left out and who was highlighted more. But with the limted amount of time I guess choices had to be made.

^^^ Lol, have Elena and Chance even met? I doubt he could pick her out of a lineup. I dunno, if Elena dumps Nate I think I'd like see her go kinda wild and pursue Adam. Adam would be the one guy besides Devon who would upset Nate. Now, that said, I want Adam to stay in love with Sally but he and Elena could agree to have a revenge relationship for a while. Yeah, that's the ticket! 😉

Will Grogu's first words be "This is the way" or "The way, this is"?

I still can't wrap my head around Veronique not playing Franklin. I simply don't trust her. If Franklin's crew and family were smart they'd take him out themselves. He's going to get them all killed because of his war with Teddy. Louie's horse said, "Giddyup ya own self. Bullets flyin? I'm outta here." Shouldn't have been trying to act so bougie, Louie. Okay, I didn't enjoy watching Kane kick Louie in the chest. I know it was paybacks but ugh. Look at Franklin having a conscience. For Louie though? If it were up to her he'd be dead already. That pimp was doing the typical Bond villain move: talking too much. And he had the nerve to call Louie loquacious. Never heard AIDs called "die slow" before. I thought it had a name by the time of when this show takes place Jerome sacrificed himself for Louie. Franklin should've left it alone. Oh well, Rome. Black Diamond sends her regards to you in hell. Over on reddit some of them are so mad at Louie they're calling her Skyler White, lol.

Someone on another soap forum pointed out why it's extra bad that Chance is nowhere to be seen at the bicentennial gala. Phillip Chancellor IV is the great-great-great-great-grandson of the founder of Genoa City, Garfield Dandridge Chancellor. A such, his blood is bluer than even the Abbotts', and at birth he was more of an aristocrat than the nouveau-riche, social climbing Newmans. Ugh, I couldn't stand how Nikki and Victor postured today like the Newmans are GC's royal family. When Victor first arrived in GC he was selling stuff out of the trunk of his car, and NIkki's stripper past is not a secret. They're ridiculous and AFAIC they will never have enough money to buy actual class. Grrr. Re the continued veneration of Neil, I wonder if TPTB still feel some guilt about KSJ's untimely death. Allegedly he heard he was being reduced to recurring status and would be phased out, and that was part of the reason he became emotionally troubled enough to end his own life.

More fashion takes: I thought Billy in his velvet jacket, white shirt, and black bow tie looked like he was going to the Walnut Grove senior prom. As a 50ish-year old man. Meanwhile, Billy said Chelsea is a fashion icon. On what planet, William? She always looks to me like she got dressed in the dark. On Neptune. During an eclipse. I didn't see Victoria's dress as anything to write home about with its relatively plain color and style. Apparently it also comes in red and IMO that would've been a better choice. Especially since--according to Nikki today--red is Victor's favorite. 🙄 Oy, Lauren, the side view of you was a bit much. You're a tad long in the tooth to have such perky boobs, hon. The golden Greek goddess vibe was fine though it left Michael looking like he was your chauffeur instead of your husband. Did Daniel and Billy coordinate their burgundy/maroon jackets? That's going to be interesting for Lily, assuming she even notices. Audra's dress read "A Little C-Suite Heaux on the Prairie," I'd say. It might've worked better on a taller woman. Elena's gown: wowzer. The bodice fabric was eye-catching but ehh on the overall color basically matching her skin tone. Hope Worn on TV posts it because I want to know the designer and the price. (ETA: Elisabetta Franchi, originally $1200, marked down to $800. In Y&R's universe I think the label is Marchetti and it would be cool if Kyle or Summer recognized it.)

Leanna Love. Is she still a celebrity or merely one in her own mind? Leave it to bitter-faced Victoria to be mean to Sally right off the bat. But I don't know what Sally called herself trying to hide. Her stomach is as flat as Victoria's chest. 😼 Tucker was a riot. The guy has no filter and I am here for it. Wow, did Nikki actually refuse to acknowledge Adam's presence? Her snobbery never takes a vacation. "Jill Foster." Mamie coming in hot! But it is weird to me that Jill decided to use Abbott as her last name. Why not Chancellor? Wasn't expecting Mamie to be so gracious to Diane wrt Kyle. She does know how and why Kyle was conceived, right? Why was Phyllis acting like she was saying her final goodbyes to her kids? Hope that wasn't part of the big plot with Jeremy to end Diane once and for all. Oh, Audra popped up out of nowhere. She was flying solo for no good reason AFAIC. Sigh. Have she and Chance met? I've been a jazz aficionado since before I was born and I don't think I've ever heard it referred to as "Americana music." Am sitting firmly on my hands on that one. 😐 Now Devon will feel beholden to Victor for the public gesture honoring Neil's memory and will pass on buying McCall Unlimited. I hope Tucker sells MU to a investor outside of GC with pockets deep enough to tell the Newmans to go eff themselves. Nate using Mamie to back Lily into a corner. Ugh, a POS in a tuxedo is still a piece of shite, cuz. Olivia would not be proud. Yeah baby, Ashley was about to kick off her high heels, remove her earrings, put Vaseline on her face, and proceed to beat Leanna Love's gossiping a$$! Worldstar!!!! It was amazing to see so many extras interacting in the background. CBS definitely opened their checkbook for this event.

What was the deal with Nikki's hair? It looked like she combed it back with a rake. Her gala dress read "Standard Society Matron with an Amex Black Card" to me. Lol, guess Tucker was wearing his formal turtleneck. Ashley was killing it in her made-for-the-red carpet gown. Slay, queen. Nate's tux. Meh. Not a fan of jackets that look like they're being worn inside out. Michael looked effortlessly handsome, I thought. I liked the deep gray shade of his tuxedo. I didn't hate Summer's dress but felt maybe she should've gone with a more vivid color. Diane's gown was her usual display of simple elegance, though the silver--as opposed to black or navy--was a surprise to me. Whoa, when did Abby get that voluptuous body? Okay dress; would've gone with a deeper color. Um, Lily, did you mean to have the girls drooping and half hanging out of your halter bodice? She might have been one of the few women not wearing sparkly sequins and beads. Sally's look was likely meant to be avant-garde but standing next to Nick, IMO she came across like a discount escort. Good color with her hair though. Sharon brought the old school glamorous.I thought her gown suited her perfectly and wasn't too obnoxiously sparkly. And then there was Phyllis. Let's see, "Bride of Frankenstein Meets the 21st Century"? Meanwhile, Jeremy's velour jacket had that "straight from the remainders bin in Fenmores basement" aura. Those two make quite a fashion statement.

I hope today's opening credits were just for the 50th anniversary episodes because if not, I'm gonna have to take issue with a few things about it. Okay, I wouldn't've had Abby insisting on apologizing to Amanda on my WTF? bingo card. I really expected Amanda to be the aggressor but apparently she has more class than elite society princess Abby. Seems to me Jill did not follow the deal she made with Victor. Wasn't she supposed to let Devon take H/W back? Just because the IPO is dead that doesn't mean he won't still buy McCall Unlimited. Victor wanted Jill to steer Devon away from that idea, not piss him off even more. Sally said her pregnancy is starting to show. Where, under her hair? Between her toes? 🤔 Victoria and Adam having a verbal slap fight over who gets to have MU. Like they're preschoolers and it's a toy they both want and won't share. Good job, Victor. O hail nah, Nate. You don't get to compare yourself to Neil, especially not to Devon. Are you insane? Shut up. Geez, what crawled up Jack's hiney? He acted like Tucker was some kind of vicious monster. My guy, your fiance isn't exactly an angel either so ease up on the hysterics. Whee, Abby definitely got told. Amanda: step off, little girl. And stay outta grown folks' business. Abby: but, but wah! Jill being duplicitous with Lily about why she dropped the IPO is probably not the way she wanted to go. It'll be bad if Lily ever finds out about C-W's sudden cash infusion and why it happened. FFS, now Nate's trying to step to Adam? Good luck with that, son. Adam knows how to dispose of dead hookers so you'd be light work for him. Heh, yeah Adam, your suspicions about Nate's chivalrous defense of Victoria are on target. Stay with it. Big sis is a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen. Apparently Nick's peen has narcoleptic properties. 🙄 Ugh, Sally. You should want better for yourself. Adam taking Sharon as his date to the gala. Hmm. I would've rather seen him with Audra somehow. And where is Chance? I thought he'd be escorting Sharon. My comments on the gala outfits will be in a separate post. Yep, Victoria dropped out of her Swiss boarding school and later she studied art somewhere in Italy. Her mad CEO skillz mostly come from OJT though we're supposed to believe she inherited Victor's business acumen. Meanwhile, Adam has an MBA from Harvard and was a successful Wall Street player before he returned to GC for a piece of the Newman pie.

Eh, Jack, I doubt Nikki will appreciate you and Diane upstaging her event with your engagement announcement. It might turn out to have a bleh effect on the festivities. Just sayin'. Jill sure knows to make an entrance, lol. Wonder if she knocked back a shot or two of Victor's tequila before she went to the arbitration meeting because she was turnt up as the kids say. People go to school and get all kinds of technical certifications to learn how to design gaming systems. Then they spend years honing their skills. But crazypants Chelsea works up an amazing game just by sitting in the coffeehouse house watching people and then Daniel treats her like she's a candidate for sainthood. AYFKMWTS. Oy, I wish they'd provided Mamie a better wig. It looked like doll hair to me. Sorry not sorry. 😾 Whatever, yeah Mamie, the Abbott manse is pretty much the way you left it many moons ago. It's basically a museum with boarders at this point. For her sake I hope the arbitrator got paid up front. Geez, Jill. 🤠 Jeremy told Phyllis nobody will recognize him at the gala behind his mask. He must be planning to wear one that covers his whole head. Wow, Devon, was it really necessary to go at Amanda like that? Guess you forgot, YOU were the who fcuked up. Literally. This d-bag had the right to remain silent today and IMO he should've used it. Hope someone informed Mrs. Martinez that there'll be another mouth to feed at the Abbott dining table. Her predecessor. Awkward! Today Jack declared Billy more mature, centered, and thoughtful now since he's been hanging out with Chelz. OMG Jackie, go sit down. You're goofy. Aw, StuporGirl,, you sweet summer child. Your outrage is a day late and a dollar short. Your mommy has been lying to your face for months about Stark and you know it. Wah. Was MCE actually trying to hide her baby bump with that tiny bag? Sigh, that's so unnecessary. Here comes The Confrontation, finally: Amanda vs. Abby. Hmm, Abigail better be current on her shots because I suspect Amanda is about to go feral on her man-stealing hide.

After what she knows he pulled on her wrt hiring Sally and Chloe, I don't see why Jill thinks she can trust Victor. OMG Victoria asked Nate if there was anything she could do to help with what's bothering him, as she stood with her crotch inches away from his face. Stay skanky, Victoria. 😼 I'm surprised Amanda admitted her personal knowledge of Devon would weigh into her representation of C-W in the lawsuit. (Or in the arbitration. When were we advised the case would be handled by a mediator? And when did we see Lily and Devon and Jill agree to that? Continuity, JG. Look into it.) Audra looked good in red today. But whoa on those huge shoulder pads. Nate, you need to let sleeping dogs lie. That is unless you do want to get with your boss but you just want her to work harder for it. In which case...ESAD you jerk. I thought the woman playing the arbitrator looked kind of like Mamie back in the day. The Mamie who is Lily and Devon's great aunt. Wonder if that casting was deliberate? JT Helstrom. Dang, that name came out of left field. Audra is diabolical because getting Elena to bring JT back into the frame would rock Victoria's world. Or Nate's, lol. Holey moley, Amanda went in. Abby may as well have been splayed on the conference room table naked because Amanda sure was alluding to her and Devon cheating on their respective partners. The IPO was thoroughly vetted, Jill? Is that why you blindly hired Tucker's henchwoman to manage it for you? FOH. Hmm, I'm thinking Victor serving as CI's silent investor could be the first step toward NE eventually taking it over again. Victoria would love that. How convenient that Victor didn't mention to Jill the McCall Unlimited factor in his desire for Devon to have H/W back. Or that Jill didn't bring up how Devon wrecked her grandson Chance's marriage so she could give a hoot what Devon wants.

Yeah, and Stacy Haiduk had some fans questioning her grasp on reality when she showed up at the Daytime Emmys like this: She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress that year but didn't win. I always liked her portrayal of Patty Williams but a little bit went a long ways with Patty. Re the aforementioned Newman key party, who would attend them? Certainly not anyone in GC who'd lived there long enough to know about the Newmans. I'm guessing they force NE employees to participate and those people are too scared to rat the Newmans out. Yeah, that's the ticket. 😉

Yeah, no, a big time criminal cannot be this stupid, or at least dumb enough to have to be schooled by Phyllis. Does Stark think he has a cloak of invisibility? 🙄 Okay, I liked the color and shape of Lily's purple suit. The camisole not so much. Meanwhile, Abby's sparkly jacket? Can't be good for Dominic if he gets a handful of sequins in his mouth. "Too many variables." What kind of nonsense was Daniel trying to spin? There are only two issues, dimwit: what Lily wants and what Devon wants. X <> Y. So Jeremy has his own jet too? He said he turned it around and came back to GC when he realized he didn't have his lucky socks.* Diane didn't seem surprised even if it was a lie. Had to laugh at Phyllis standing there making duck lips while Diane was calling out her and Stark's b.s. I didn't realize Nikki and Traci were chummy. Whatever, Is this event going to be masked costume ball or just a masked ball? This show has to be too cheap now for a costume ball. Phyllis calling Diane psychotic. Bish, do you ever look in the mirror? But Stark sure wants to get himself a taste of some lunatic Red. OMG, Daniel, shut up. All you're doing is telling Lily what she wants to hear. You need some pom-poms to go with your cheerleader act? Whee! Amanda walked up like she was all the Avengers wrapped into one. Guess Christine will be the weak a$$ Justice League. 😉 *@NinjaPenguins, yikes!!!!!

Geez, if $73M isn't enough for Franklin he deserves to get taken. But I guess that conversation confirmed Veronique isn't trying to steal his stuff. Still not sure about Cassandra though. Leon. Left with a crackhead, came back with a wife, lol. That diss really got to him apparently. Poor Wanda, She wants to be loyal to Leon but she knows on some level she probably can't maintain her detachment from that street life much longer. Gustavo did not like hearing that Teddy had been following him. Teddy might have overplayed his hand. He only knows Gustavo's connection to the KGB. The DEA is still after him, with Gustavo's help. Bet Louie never thought she'd be tracked by her newfound equestrian interest. At least not by some little no-class gangtas. That idiot Deon. Leon should've killed him when he had the chance. It's not believable to me that Teddy's father would just leave with some woman he'd never met before. Cassandra is good at working people but this was too easy IMO. Hey, it's Hollywood from Queen Sugar. What was going on with Jerome? Nostalgic for the good old days when he wasn't a drug running killer whose wife is trying to make him a target? Teddy was actually surprised at finding gay porn in the Cuban guy's room. Guess the KGB didn't have a DADT policy. Franklin you have majorly fcuked up now. Your life isn't worth $73M. Teddy will likely go after Veronique and her mother now. The people at the home have presumably tied them to Teddy's father's departure. The question is whether they can provide good enough descriptions, or have them on security camera.

Jacob getting embarrassed for asking Siri who Lee Daniels is. Did he think he was on a Bluetooth headphone or something? Extra Petite Bitch clothing line. Erika being messy all up in Greg's business. She's a good friend to Janine. Loved Ava's black suit dress. The whole outfit was fabulous. Want. Soupy macaroni and cheese? No thanks. Yeah, for a guy with a Black boyfriend and who graduated from Oberlin, Jacob is surprisingly ignorant of the culture. How could he not know who Nikki Giovanni is? Draemond sounded to me like he was running for some minor local office. A lot of multisyllabic words trying to seem important but not really saying much. Oh well, he chose to be a jackass. 🎶 Abbott on Abbott on Abbott 🎶 It had a good beat and you could dance to it. 😏 Tariq coming back to Philly will likely bring some drama between Janine and Greg. Can't wait. Kind of a pat ending to the charter school storyline. I hope this really is the end of it though.

Looked like this show got a bigger budget for the 2nd season. It had noticeably higher production values and the characters all had better clothing. I didn't understand the graduate school thing. The university is located out of town. Was Regina going to move away from her family, which includes young children? Otherwise, that would be a tough commute to make every day. How is Lucretia going to break up with Frank again? He's handsome, educated, financially secure, and he treated her well. Someone like him is rare, especially at their age. Who was Bernard's boyfriend Hector supposed to be portraying when he was performing in drag? I'm not so sure Sheila is clueless. It seems to me she knows what she's doing and it's a power play. Until the last episode when they finally had her genuinely relating to Regina on a personal level, I considered her almost a sociopath. But now I guess she's just been good at doing whatever it takes to achieve a certain status and hang onto it. Which includes disarming what she perceives as threats to her status. Good to hear it's been renewed for a 3rd season. Netflix has been known to dump even popular shows.

What is a mudscuffer? Given the way Bo spat it out, I guess it's some kind of cuss word but why? When told she was also redeemed and could stay at the covert, Bo-Katan's reaction was like, "Eh, I'm not really a joiner." I want to see her lowkey proceed to wreck that place and get thrown out, lol. Up until I read this thread I thought R5 had been fainting/short circuiting from fear. What was that button Grogu would push when R5 fell? It seemed to slide R5 out of the way. Yeah, and I was also amused at how turnstile jumping and fare evasion are still a thing in the future.
