Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat

[Joimiaroxeu]

Despite comments upthread, I was wondering whether Phyllis got a boob job or a pushup bra. Her girls seemed perkier than usual to me. And I guess she really likes that top since she's worn it more than once and in more than one color.

Hope Phyllis reimbursed Nick for fuel since he had to run all over town making those individual pitches. (Nah, Nick probably drives a Tesla.)

Abby and Nikki both in pink. Did they call each other last night to coordinate, lol? And it looks like Nikki's real hair has made a reappearance. Yay. 😼

Wonder why Chelsea wasn't invited to Phyllis' soiree? Guess Nick must've drawn a line in the sand. 🤔

Look at Traci and her posh pronunciation of "scones." Her Majesty would be so proud. 😒 Not so sure about the "high" tea though. More like "middle" tea methinks. 😉

A sonata created just for Nikki was a nice touch I'll admit. Pssht, Phyllis probably got some cash-starved music student at GCU to compose it on the cheap. 😑

I sure hope this wasn't another attempt by Y&R to do an homage to the 1939 classic film, The Women. Because the presence of Nick RUINED IT. The Women had no men at all. Zero, zip, nada.

Okay, my personally-tailored experience at the Grungy Peppermill's Escape Club would involve a multiple varieties of chocolate cookies and gelato, and all the Idris Elba and Jason Statham movies on streaming video. 🤗

[Gam2]

This may just be the stupidest idea Phyllis has ever had, ever in her entire life. Good on you too, Nick!

You have better taste than the Gnarled Paraclete could ever imagine.  Phyllis probably only stocks the Pauly Shore Shakespeare collection and Classical Gas by the Wisconsin Boys Baked Beans Choir.

Today's show was heartrending.  I'm not kidding.  My heart was seriously rended.  

I had heartburn.

Bromo Seltzer to the rescue!

Quote

First, poor ButtBiscuit's feelings were hurt when he thought Victoria attacked his parenting, and then, as if that wasn't bad enough, he had to suffer through Katie's bee sting.  He felt BAD, you guys, and Victoria and Katie and that goddam bee were just piling on him.  Nobody realizes how hard it is for ButtBiscuit to be a buttbiscuit and then bad stuff happens - to him - and sometimes he has to wait whole minutes before he can find someone to drone onto about it until they comfort him and tell him he's not the biggest putz in a too-short suit in the great state of Wisconsin.  They're lying because he is, but that's not the point.  The point is and always will be, how does everything and everyone make ButtBiscuit feel, and why aren't they making him feel good.  Even Delia ruined his day, hell, a couple of days by making him feel bad because he left her alone in a car and then she got herself killed.  His brother forced him to have an affair with his wife and his wife forced him to treat her badly.  People, man, they are the WORST.

If it isn't all about NotBilly, it's going to be.

NotBilly was upset that Victoria's barbs were dead on, and he can't take direct hits without someone putting a Ninja Turtle Band-Aid on the wound, stick a pacifier in his mouth and whispering 'It's not your fault, NotBilly. I'll clean up the mess.' 

Adulthood Sucks!

Quote

Oh yeah, Katie got stung by a bee and almost stopped breathing.  WHY does EVERYTHING happen to ButtBiscuit?

The known world circumnavigates around NotBilly. And the sooner Katie realizes It's All About NotBilly the less angst-ridden her life is going to be.

Quote

Of course Victoria isn't mad at him anymore.  He's like a recurring boil.  Until it bursts again, you try to ignore it.  

Or living with a parrot; you get used to the racket and seed-throwing.

Quote

I liked the set for the farm.  The only thing that didn't work was the troll under the table.  One question about this storyline.....why does Adam walk like he's auditioning for a remake of Frankenstein?  Also, Adam has the worst luck, just like ButtBiscuit.  

What is with all his lurching around? Does he think stomping around dramatizes the emotion of the dialog he's barking at the others? Too bad wide moist eye-batting has already been cornered by Sharon.

Atonal doesn't agonized about moral/ethical/rational choices, so all of his dread and apprehension about remembering killing AJ is ridiculous. He doesn't agonize over Deliah or LasVegas guy's death, or how many times he's been the master of multiple felonies that nearly ended in death, Why is AJ's murder significant? Because it was Atonal's first murder, and sociopaths need to savor every second of the landmark crossing of the threshold into criminality. 

The farm made me wish Hope was still around, and she realized protecting Atonal Adam from his murderous past was a mistake. Pick up that cast iron pan and slap the snot out of Atonal until he remembers every misdeed, crime and death he serviced.

But TIIC decided we can't we have nice things.

Quote

Nobody knows the trouble they've seen, except, everyone does because neither of them ever shut up about it.

If NotBilly and Atonal aren't griping and winging about their all-encompassing, all-important selves, that would mean thernodynamic entropy,  the structural collapse of the universe. Keep jabbering and bickering about yourselves, jackwagons. The world is depending on your selfishness.

Quote

I think everyone is worrying all for nothing about Adam.  Find the nearest table he'll fit under and there he'll be.

I think Atonal's just another felony waiting to happen, and no one with Chloe's determination will end his reign of terror. Under an ashtray, behind the wheel of a car, threatening (fill in the blank) with (fill in the blank), in Las Vegas, out of (fill in the blank) bed, creeping out from under a rock or table, Atonal Adam is going to do dirt and damage the people he holds dear. That's how the rat bastard has been written.

"So let it be written, so let it be done” 

Quote

The clinic is fully staffed, and the other doctors are JUST as qualified as Elena and Nate.

I thought Elena, Nate and Darvon were the only patron saints allowed to treat the downtrodden of Genoa City. Who knew their were other contenders for plaster sainthood in town.

Why do I think they might be going to use Adam was abused or molested and that's why Victor was so into cover-up mode? I mean he took the blame - the way they are acting there has to be more - and it would explain Adam's hatred and bad behavior when he was supposedly raised in rural paradise with St Hope.

11 yo Atonal killing someone threatening his mother isn't enough for Victor to bury the evidence and never tell another living soul? Sounds just like the sort of thing Victor would store in his Closet of Secrets and Crimes.

You wish sexual molestation were the reason to absolve Atonal of his previous behavior. A little Danger Stranger groping, porn perusal, more advanced sexual experimentation and POOF! Atonal Adam is memory-lapsing, murderous, Kansas horde of one laying waste, because someone diddled him and he can't stop these oogy feelz that make him do bad things.

It’s just like Banana Breath to pimp for Phyllis and thinking nobody has better things to do.  

I thought it was going to be the other way around -- Phyllis running an out-call service for the Women's Club.

It was smart of Phyllis to use Nick to support the text invites to her inaugual Club festivities. Few of them would have showed up by text invite from Phyllis alone.

I find that exclusive invitations actually involve the postal service, expensive stationary and engraved printing, with a text reminder if you haven't RSVPed.

<shrug>

Quote

I thought that it was supposed to be an unique experience for each person?  How can it be unique for two people?  Lily and Tracy could have tea from room service. Amanda and Elena could of just gone to the spa. Summer could have done the same thing in her room but Phyllis forgot her bubble blaster. Doesn’t Nikki have a piano at the ranch?  Beside, how did Phyllis get the piano in the door?  Abby would have had more fun in an escape room. Yet they are all in but Phyllis needs a lot more than the GC women to be profitable. 

I don't understand how this Club is any different than the options already available to customers at The Phoenix or any high-end hotel. The Dance Dance Revolution video game is available at Best Buy. I'll bring the gummy worms, M&Ms, Good and Plenty, Fritos, salsa and 7 layer dip. 

Women paying a premium for the privilege of being in Phyllis' Phoenix Club deserve exactly what she's going to serve up.

I wouldn't trust Phyllis with my credit card number, much less my relaxation go-to's. A little information is a dangerous thing in the hands of Phyllis.

All true. And yet, I really enjoyed today’s episode. Maybe I’m stressed and overly emotional but I loved Lily and Tracy talking about Colleen and how Tracy is basically the only parental figure Lily has left. And I loved Nikki’s joy at playing. Maybe she just never takes the time to play at home and this was her opportunity.  I almost didn’t hate SyPhyllis today.

OMG, me too! I was in tears watching Lily and Tracy today. I don't know what came over me, but I was seriously bawling, wondering what could have been had Colleen lived (and not had to have her heart given to Old Scratch).

 

This is why I love Beth Maitland. Having her talk about Colleen with Lily was lovely. That little catch in her voice and blinking away the tears tore me up.

Lol, you obviously have no idea what it’s like to sleep like the dead. One example for me is when my ex husband and I were at a hotel. Not only didn’t I wake up when he got out of bed, I also didn’t hear the fire alarm going off that caused him to get out of bed!!!! 🤣

What spectacular ideas Phyllis has!

Putting a piano in Nikki's room even though she has her own at home.  What a thrill for her😶

Pedicures for Amanda and Elena!  So exotic and different from the 5 nail salons right down the street.

Ritz crackers and cheese in a can for Lily and Traci...sure can't get that kind of elegance at a dump like the Abbott mansion.

And, having their invitations delivered by a talking howler monkey!

Yep, Phyllis is such a brilliant business woman.

If she'd filled a dumpster with tropical fish, well, tres elegance, Summers Style.

I'll give her a pass for that. (No, I'm not feeling feverish. 😉) The point wasn't the piano it was the music she had composed especially for Nikki. I'm not sure even Victor has done that. But will Phyllis get her a new sonata (o hai, Hyundai product placement) every time? I think eventually Nikki might decide to bypass the middleman and go straight to the source.

Why are Lola and Theo back? Hasn't 2020 been hard enough on the world?

Another Shadam day so a great day for me.

I love that Sharon knew immediately where Adam had gone. Not that it was that hard to make the deduction. Only an idiot wouldn't have thought of Kansas as a possibility. 

Oh wait...there's Chelz and her heaving bosom and another fugly-ass outfit. Yeah, she knows Adam "best." 

I also loved when she raced out to Victor to "DOOOOO SOMETHINGGGG" (TM B&B's Taylor Hayes) and he had zero fucks to give.

Elsewhere, Theo and Lola had me like this:

And in a weird and unsettling turn of events, watching Kyle and Summer today and my reaction was:

Summer seems less Summer if that makes sense. And I like her hair - color, style, all of it. 

[peacheslatour]

I love that Sharon knew immediately where Adam had gone. Not that it was that hard to make the deduction. Only an idiot wouldn't have thought of Kansas as a possibility. 

I liked that too. She's like "I need to pack" and Rey Rey's like "Vegas?" "Nope, Kansas" It was pretty sharp.

[CountryGirl]

That reminds me - about six months ago (aka before effin' covid), I had read somewhere that they were going to have Sharon go to Kansas for a while. So more credence to the thinking that Shadam was being planned before the shutdown. 

 

[Gam2]

Good night nurse! Chelsea is going to keel over what with all of the heaving and gasping!

[Joimiaroxeu]

Sharon has been wearing a lot of white clothing lately. Wonder what that's all about? 👰

Nobody lives in Hope's farmhouse, right? Why is it kept up like that, stocked with food and everything? For whose benefit? And is there a cleaning service to keep the dust from building up?

Theo not in a suit again. I'm fine with it. 🙄 I also liked Lola's dress. Good color for her.

"Must be hard to go with the flow when you're used to controlling the tides." Whoa! Kyle waited all day to deliver that bon mot. Aw, he was so pleased with himself too. 😒

Chelsea, when your man ghosts you and your troubled son, and you have to go to his ex to try to buy a vowel, you might be in the wrong relationship. Again.

Sharon, you're right, Adam does need professional help. That help would not be you. You're just looking to apply the special type of healing Marvin Gaye sang about. 😉

I don't recall Kyle and Summer having play dates as kids. Kyle didn't really grow up in GC, did he? And she was younger than him, probably too young for them to be playmates.

When Rey said he was going with Sharon, she got a look like, "Um, oh, sure, okay. Great idea. Uh, thanks?" Wonder if Rey is up for a Kansas three-way?🤔

Sounds like Lola has thought things through. No revenge, no rebound. Yeah, she's about to wear Theo out. Meanwhile, do Kyle and Theo live on the same floor? Heh, who's gonna catch Lola doing the walk of shame out of Theo's suite?

Victor kept saying Adam needs professional help but Chelsea was talking about Adam possibly sleeping with his no-professional-boundaries-having therapist. I think Vic was deliberately being obtuse with Chelsea. He knows what's up and seems to be okay with it.

There’s one thing I can say for certain is that the farm house, with nobody living there, is a hell of a lot cleaner than my house including not an ounce of dust on the furniture. 

Sharon was right and so was Victor to keep Chelsea away from Adam. She’s in a much too much emotional state. For that matter, so is Rey.  This is one more tragedy Adam has to deal with which I’m quite sure won’t be the last. 

Theo is definitely going to be a minute man. He’s going to have to double up on his soldier’s helmet.  

 

[Frankie90210]

Chelsea was so upset about Adam that she needed a new hairstyle.

[boes]

Is Adam so upset about killing Montalvo because he bled all over Hope's oak floor?  Because he hit his head when he got up from under the table?  Because his mother dressed him like Beaver Cleaver?  

Because it can't be because he murdered someone.  He's an old hand at hand-waving away a little thing like murder.

I like Hope's farm a lot.  Just imagine what it would look like once Chelsea got her hands on it.

Okay, Theo, two steps forward, three miles back.  The other day he wasn't so twitchy or so affected, but today, even without a suit to fuss with, he was this guy....

I hope Lola is ready for him to sing the entire soundtrack to Sondheim's "Company" because with Theo, she's not going to get any less.

Or, any more.

Awww, the picnic the two young(ish) lovers were having in the park!  I was sorta hoping for a sinkhole to open up and give them an up close and personal look at JT's faux burial plot.  Romance does that to me.

So, given that Lola and Theo are probably on the chorus of "Being Alive" by now, and Dummer and Dumbest are scouring the want ads for a simple, starter apartment with 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, closets the size of the empty space in Nick's noggin, along with a staff of 12, how long will it be before Lola is pregnant and we've got a "Who's the Daddy" storyline?  I know the timing doesn't work, but why should Show do even one thing right?

If the sonogram shows the baby bouncing to the sound of a disco beat, then we know it's Theo's.

Whatever happens in Kansas with Adam and Sharon, I only hope for one thing...... Don't spill anything on the nice tablecloth.

Eternally renewable virginity.

News Flash from GC Buzz: Longtime GC resident and society maven Sharon Newman has been rushed to a hospital in Leavenworth, Kansas with a malady unnamed ER sources described as "freakish."

Apparently Ms Newman's lady parts were giggling hysterically in a manner an attending nurse described as "like your vajayjay had just heard the most hilarious joke ever."

An EMT who treated Newman on scene at her former husband's childhood home said he'd never heard a <bleep> make those kinds of sounds, not even in adult video.

A GC local businesswoman, when asked for comment, said, "I mean, seriously? That thing is more worn out than the tires on a long haul truck. It was probably laughing to keep from crying. You get well soon now, m'kay Sharon?"

There's been no word yet on when Sharon Newman will be released but according to one of the men who accompanied her to the hospital, "I told her something like this would happen."

Murder Shmurder. It's just blood under the bridge and seeping into the floor boards, corneas for Connor, revenge to be meted out.

And Lola put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door.

Girl, have a little pride, because right now you are as easy to make as a peanut butter sandwich. Get your divorce and then you can fuck your way down the ladder. What's next? Boinking on a grimy sofa in a Man Cave garage? Too bad The Underpants storage room is unavailable.

Sharon's writing her dissertation on Therapist/Patient Mutual Transference. It'll be a ballbuster.

Chelsea is going to cut a bitch if she doesn't get Atonal under her control.

And where's Detective Rey Rey? Shouldn't he be in the thick of discovering this criminal conspiracy?

I was amused by Nick and Victor bickering over Atonal Adam's Murder Shmurder in the middle of what should be a busy cocktail hour at Society. Does their confrontation mean Victor is going to finally see the error of his ways propping up AA in spite of his determination to poison everything he touches and destroy all the Newman's? Nope. Victor will continue the charade that there's something worth saving in Atonal ... Not enough blood has been spilled.

I thought the dead guy was found in the barn and the official COD was that he fell off the hayloft accidentally.  Widdle Adam would never have been charged with murder for pushing a guy who happened to fall and hit his head while threatening Adam & Hope in their kitchen.  Victor said he "was there". Presumably after the fact, and moved the body and staged the accident. If Victor admits what he did, he could be charged with interfering with the body and hampering the investigation.  If he doesn't admit it, Adam pushing the guy off the hayloft doesn't look so innocent.  After Hope died, the story should have been that Hope did it.

Hope contacted Victor, and he had George the farm hand remove AJs body to the barn and set up a plausible accidental death scene. Everyone was sworn to secrecy, while Atonal Adam was so shocked by what he had done (first and last time), his conscious mind conveniently shelved the the memory for later retrieval.

Wonder who Chelsea dumped Connor on, Chloe? Like Chloe needs that kind of stress right now. Isn't she still supposed to be pregnant?

I think the only way Lily's attire could've been less office appropriate is if it had been see-thru. I'm guessing ChancComm (😐) doesn't have any employees with eyes because seeing your boss dressed like she's about to go hard on the stroll would tend to disrupt the workday. Unless you work in a strip club. 😼

Victoria basically said Billy's really good at muckraking. Huh. I thought CE's media division was supposed to be a legitimate concern, not a gossipy tabloid.

Feh, Elena's all up in Nate and Amanda's business because she wants to make sure Amanda isn't trying to approach Devon.

Whee, Lily even had on fcuk me shoes.

Sure, Sharon. You'll help Adam rest. Help him rest his bolt in your nut. 🔩 Love the moto jacket tho.

Man, Lily climbed up Billy's hiney and turned on a flame thrower. Git him, girl. (I hope they're going to give her other things to do besides be Billy's substitute mean mommy though.)

But you were, Sharon. You were trying to shut Chelsea out. Luckily for you, Chelsea is playing it like she's desperate and insecure. Self-absorbed Adam won't care.

Could Banana Breath be a bigger asshole. Didn’t Victor protect Banana Breath all his life also.  Today Banana Breath topped Nostrils, which is hard to do, in being a total hypocritical bastard.  Neither of them, in my eyes, have any redeemable qualities. 

To get proof, Nostrils is going to turn into the worlds best investigative reporter. Even Alyssa could get the concrete goods on what happened to her father. 

Hey Banana Breath you are worried about Connor?  Why don’t you worry about Christian after all he has Adam’s DNA and your not that great of a father. You spend more time with Phyllis than you do with him. 

Olive Oyl has now passed into the realm of everything she hates about Adam and Victor but to think about it, Olive vindictiveness doesn’t make sense. Victor can still have the last laugh.  Has Olive forgot about that her past isn’t all that saintly.  

Questions:  How did Sharon get to Kansas that fast even by private jet?

What happened to Rey?  Didn’t he go with Sharon?

How did Chelsea get to Kansas so fast?  Did she charter a jet?  Yeah, I know, stupid questions. There is generally no reality on Y&R.

I missed today’s show when I was out of the house (Yay!) but I see that I didn’t miss anything worth watching. Thanks for keeping me informed, Preverts.

was there an old fashioned stove there for Bill Sykes to .clonk his noggin on.

of course Mop has to lose so I still think there is some sort of horror to creep out of Kansas so when the story comes out it will backfire on Billy AND her. Adam probably stopped a serial killer - prevented a tornado and rescued the guys daughter from him and saved kittens from a tree.

Nick in HUggies? Now you know he exclusively wears Starlord Underoos.

Is Show ever going to stop trying to see ButtBiscuit as Genoa City's answer to Indiana Jones?  He's far closer to a Wisconsin version of the love child of Urkel and Mr. Bean. 

Who can forget ButtBiscuit's sexy stunts when had Jaboat?

While he is and  (with JT's version) always has been immensely self-satisfied with his cleverness and equates doing really stupid shit as some sort of dashing derring-do, no matter how many tongue baths Amanda or anyone else gives him will make those things true.

He's got the charm and swagger of Mr. Peepers, the fashion sense of those middle-aged dads who try to pull off skinny jeans while embarrassing their kids using all the slang that was popular a generation ago and the sex appeal of a twizzler you find stuffed in the back seat cushions of your car. 

Go, Billy, go.....anywhere else.

As for this big story, is Show also trying to tell us that the whole world would be eating up a story about the escapades of the son of some business page mogul?  Is the public salivating for more Newman family gossip?  Even if the public was interested, this story about a Newman kid murdering somebody is small potatoes.  The public has already read about the Newman father sending a son to prison on trumped up charges while that same son tried to kill his father, another son who terrorized his own family wearing the mask of an in-law, along with various disappearances, doppelgangers, murder charges, kidnapping charges, people falling into volcanoes, arson, dead babies, disappearing babies, rats for lunch, etc. 

Another expose about Newman misdeeds should be greeted with a collective yawn.

Instead of Lily always having to have these ponderous conversations with ButtBiscuit about his idiocy, how about Show just let her shoot him with paint balls every time he opens his mouth. 

Nick should be careful castigating Victor about his child-rearing skills.  After all, he is the father of Dummer and there is no defense for that.

ETA - I pretty much forgot about Adam and all the farm stuff.  So when Adam needs to rest, the most comfortable place to sit was on that hard bench by the doorwhile leaning his head against the wall?   I know life on the farm was hard, but did they sleep on a bed of nails and sit around watching tv on blocks of concrete?

I'm, about as interested in the stories as the writers seem to be  I'm just getting a kick out of the characters running from each other when they step into a room.  It' like someone lobed a grenade onto the middle of the floor.  

Also, do the characters notice that there are no other people in GC anymore?

[CountryGirl]

Okay, was the AC off the day they filmed these scenes?  I mean, Phyllis and Nick, Nick especially, look greasy to match their personalities, and I’m used to TK’s Ridge looking like an oil slick, but Jack was looking like a melting candle today, too. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Lola was rather clinical about the secksay times she'd just had with Theo. And she said his performance exceeded her expectations. Dang, Theo, you need a dab of aloe for that lowkey burn? 🙂

FFS, Kyle. It's not like Society is the only place in town you can spread your bad juju over coffee and croissants. I'd expect such trash behavior from Summer given who raised her but you should know better.

Pssht, Phyllis is not a marketing genius. Plenty of new products and ventures use the exclusivity model. It works fine until your competitors offer an equal or better product for less money or more perceived exclusivity.

Ehhhh, Mariah is turning into quite the busybody. It's not a good look to me. Her hair was fab today though.

Lola, if you expect to be in love with every guy you sleep with, you're probably going to be in for a bad time leading to a lot of bitterness. Be careful. Meanwhile, I sure hope this isn't going to turn into a storyline about confusion over consent. B&B keeps presenting WTFery on that issue and I don't see Y&R doing any better. 😑

Does Theo have his own key to the Abbott mansion or is someone always there to let him in?

Gotta admit I liked Phyllis' dress today. It was kind of a departure from her usual bodycon outfits. Unfortunately her blowout was looking a bit flat IMO.

Whoa, Lola dropping the truth bombs today with no fcuks given! That's not really who she is though and I fear she might be heading toward an emotional crash. And not without a lot of help from garbage person Summer, d-bag Kyle, and oddly clueless Theo.

Kyle, your cousin (and Summer's aunt) Abby has a perfectly fine house likely sitting vacant. It's big too. See if she'll make a deal with you. 🏠💲💲🤑

Re the previews, looks like someone is finally going to find a possible connection between Amanda and Hilary besides the amazing physical resemblance. Go Nate!?

[Waldo13]

Lola/Theo 🤮

Nostrils/Olive Oyl 🤮🤮

Sharon/Rey 🤮

Kyle/Summer 🤮🤮

Banana Breath/Phyllis 🤮🤮🤮

Chelsea/Adam 🤮

Mariah/Tessa 🥰😍😘

Mariah looks fantastic today. In fact she looks fantastic every day except when she has her Pebbles Flintstone hair do. 

 

Socially distancing has afforded us not having Theo and Lola swapping spit and other bodily fluids.  

 

Great scene between Lola and Mariah today. Mariah could see that Lola was uncomfortable about spending the night with Theo and she gave Lola some sound advise. Pre GC Mariah must have had a pretty care free life. Do you remember how she harassed Abby over Tyler. 

 

[Gam2]

On the three soaps I watch pretty regularly, it’s become obvious that only the core characters have been brought back. And they’re standing/sitting 6 feet away like a bunch of doofuses. There are only so many conversations the same people can have repeating the same things they said yesterday, the day before, the day before that, etc, etc, etc before we all run away screaming. That Theo actor absolutely gives me the creeps for some reason. 

[Snaporaz]

Oh, Jackie, I do sincerely hope that THE BEST IS YET TO COME for you.  I heard some shrieking arm-flapping racist grifter wackadoo issue those same words as a threat earlier this week, but they sounded so much more reassuring coming from you.  So does this mean Jack finally finds ❤?  Will it be Jill?  Or a new character?  I'm on board for it, either way.

Back up! You leave Mr. Bean out of this. He comes to us a fully formed fish out of water.

On the other hand, NotBilly has crafted his fool's delusion over a lifetime of personal irresponsibility and professional inadequacy. Scanning the horizon for someone else to blame is standard equipment with NotBilly.

Who knew Lycra® could give so much uplift for NotBilly's lame ass? Credit where credit is due.

NotBilly is one of those unfortunate creatures (unfortunate for his victims and the viewers) that believe his own press. The more he tells himself he's the Master of His Domain, the less likely it is to be the case.

Lies are truth. Failure is triumph. Neglect is appreciation. Contempt is esteem. War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery ... It's Ingsoc, without the totalitarian philosophy, but just as insidious when a media group, with unlimited funds, is going to support a Class A pillock.

Go, Billy, go.....anywhere else.

NotBilly's a Jonah. There's nowhere far away enough that he won't cause turmoil and havoc.

And mass somnambulism strikes the land ... 

 

If the exposé was factually accurate, resulted in proper judicial procedure, leading to incarceration, or at the very least, a significant financial obligation paid to AJ's family, perhaps this latest beating of a dead horse might be worth it ... I have my doubts.

TIIC have yet to prove themselves able to generate realism, drama, tension or a reasonable storyline for retrofitting Atonal/Victor/Hope's history to include a decades-old murder and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Dragging the entire Newman-adjacent famdamily into the cover-up and Atonal's childhood hysteria will come to no good end either, as it is to justify Atonal being a rat bastard.

Atonal will remain with blood on his hands, Victor will continue to favor and excuse Atonal's innate malevolence and life of destructive failure. The rest will bear the brunt of Victor's boring vendetta defending his malignant son. I expect Victoria to be dispatched for a fact-finding mission to McMurdo Station during an Antarctic winter, and Atonal will be crowned Victor's heir apparent/CEO of Newman Enterprises again. Nick's bellybutton will pucker and unpucker in impotent rage.

Or a shovel  ... It'll leave a dull impression on NotBilly's fever-addled mind ... To misquote Spike Jones.

 

Sadly, Lily has been reduced to NotBilly's damage restoration crew; HAZMAT suit optional. She may go on Chance Com business trips and co-sign contracts, but Lily's the cheese standing alone. How this online media company produces content is a mystery. The co-Managers seem to have put all their eggs in one basket: Theo VanderBraggin', Chance Com Director of Talent -- Not sexual talent, if Lola is any judge.   <cough> Pardon me.

Ouch!

Kyle's hemming and hawing over Lola means he's still invested in Lola. 

Lola's emotional distance post-sex in a dirty hotel room means she's thoroughly squicked out by Theo and/or she's still in love with Kyle and regrets their pre-divorce struggles at leisure.

I could say the same thing about Theo VanderBraggin', but that greaseball deserves some sand in his lube. He hasn't paid nearly enough for the sabotage he's pulled to advance his career and sexual ambitions to best Kyle.

Lola's a dimwit; she doesn't seem to care she's hooked up with a cheat and charlatan, and doesn't acknowledge she was manipulated to break faith with Kyle so she would turn to Theo for comfort. 

Kyle's no brain trust either; Dumber handled Kyle like a pro and he fell on top of her, because she was familiar, constantly in his face and so very, very available.

Yeah, not so traumatized as to need rest in the same area where AJ's brain box was broken, bled to death and his blood seeped into the floor boards. 

Sure. Why not catch a few zzz's. It's been a long day of teleportation and apprehension. A few synapse are going to misfire.

 I know life on the farm was hard, but did they sleep on a bed of nails and sit around watching tv on blocks of concrete?

I don't remember Hope's farm being like a carnival sideshow, a version of hillbilly gothic or Russian gulag, but memory is a fickle thing.

I do think production costs superseded dressing the set with a sofa or armchair for Atonal to lay his weary angst in his pants. 

Show is crap on a cracker.
