Episode Discussion: TFGH

[NiqueAlexis]

For realsies. If Mac can support Maxie in all her stupidity, he sure as hell can support and stand for Robin, who is being forced to unfreeze those murdering Cassadines. But even though he's unaware of that part of it, he knows Robin is doing something for the good. I would throw a party if I could see Mac just coldcock that selfish, narcissistic motherfucker. Sure as hell Anna won't do it.

And raise Emma himself.

Yes to this.

[TeeVee329]

Victor isn't even a fun villain to watch

 

And I think part of it is that we JUST saw this, a super villain threatening Robin with death if she doesn't finish a medical cure blah blah blah. 

 

Wake me up when Victor heads back to Port Charles and starts wooing Dr. O with earnest.

Exactly Dante should have been hell no & went about his day. Stop saying yes to everything Lulu asks of you.

All I got to say is Patrick is a petty bitch. I can't believe he told Emma & made her cry. Asshole. Anna & Mac should kick his ass.

 

No, but see that's why it's annoying, because I don't think Lulu would have cared either if Dante didn't go. You didn't see him at Blanket's memorial, did you? Lucky guy.

 

What the hell is up with the way Felicia talks? The weird slurring was gone for a while but now it's back. "Nobody is goooing to be jyoyous if yoo don't gyet into yoor tuux!" ack.

[dubbel zout]

If a woman has been in a particularly long, dry spell and one who is just her type comes along giving those I-want-you eyes....well it takes a better woman than Alexis to say pass

So bang him like a screen door in a hurricane. Bang him all day long. Just don't bug him to leave the mob when there's been ample evidence a) he's not the boss, so leaving isn't easy, b) she's not willing to cut her ties to the mob.

[Fylaki]

 

Dude, one year she dressed as a cat.

For the whole year? I had a GF like that once, don't tell Mrs. Fylaki

I hope that the powers that be are not planning on tormenting us this week by making us watch the kiddies singing at camp.

 

Thanks for putting that out into the universe.  I now know where to send that flaming bag o' poo if it happens.

[Turtle]

I hope that the powers that be are not planning on tormenting us this week by making us watch the kiddies singing at camp.​

 

I often enjoy the kiddie scene, certainly more than a lot of you guys, but even I have to say a big fat NO to kiddie camp karaoke.  Too far.  

 

Is it really possible that this Maxie/ Levi wedding might actually not happen and/or some of this Levi stuff might actually be moving forward??  And people might really be getting wise to him and catching him in some of his BS?  

[mybabyaidan]

They have to be screwing with us with this Levi guy.  They HAVE to be.  His look when he pulled the necklace out of his pocket and the scene ended???  Pure ridiculousness.  It has to be some kind of parody.  Can someone screen cap that?  I was half watching, but it was TERRIBLE.

[yowsah1]

I don't understand, given adolescent one-upsmanship mentality of TPTB, why they would want to recast the role of someone who essentially thumbed his nose at the show.

 

Because it more-or-less effectively blocks said actor from returning to the show.

[Cattitude]

 the scene ended???  Pure ridiculousness.

 

yah, James Bond in a tux with a gun-00seven Hott

Levi in a tux with a gun-00zero ridiculous

 

Just another scene featuring the dunkelmonkey I wish I could unsee.

I believe KW was in some sort of accident when she was young and had to re-learn to speak phonetically; I believe the accident also gave her some of hearing problem.   

 

 

If this in incorrect then someone please feel free to shoot me, freeze me, and then stick me in an egg.

[hcs]

You would think that but this is the production team that created the two Todd's story and the network that revelled in the "return of the Real Greenlee . Sadly I bet this is the one way Ron can finally have his Two Todd's storyline and instead of a crazy mother we can have a villainous Robin who sent back the wrong Jason so she could keep the real one for herself...

 

 On topic I adore Mac and refuse to accept that Alexis would prefer to be with men who routinely put her children in danger rather that a man who has consistently sacrificed himself for other men's children.

[GHScorpiosRule]

Where in tarnation is @yuggapukka to provide me with hilarious and laugh inducing adjectives for that punk? It's a bloody shame he's Australian.

[dubbel zout]

Neither Mac nor Alexis were romantically interested in each other. They tried, but there was no spark. I like that they're friends. There isn't enough of that. We barely get same-sex friendship, let alone man-woman friendship.

[TeeVee329]

I feel like the first push by their kids for an Alexis/Mac pairing was kinda cute, but when it became this bizarre Thanksgiving tradition, that's when I lost all interest.  I like that Mac is back with Felicia, even if we only see them for stupid Maxie crap like this week.

[CPP83]

If the kids sing "We Are the World" I will not be responsible for the vengeance I will rain down upon the earth and all whom dwell within it.

 

Am I supposed to believe Nathan, a cop, isn't armed? And really, Levi would think nothing of shooting him surrounded by witnesses, one of whom is another cop? I know he's a few shrimps short of a barbie but even that waste of skin should know better.

 

If I hear one more time about Felicia's Aztec heritage I'll start whittling a spear...

I loved Dante's skeptical looks when Levi was yammering on. Lulu didn't look all that thrilled to be there, either. I wish Dante would be the smug off of Levi. 

 

Levi can't hold a gun without shaking, either. Hee.

[jennifer6973]

@CPP83

 

Nathan was armed, his sidearm was in it's holster while he picked up the necklace.

Remember when said other cop went to arrest his unknown-to-him father without a gun? Yeah. Or maybe Anna's started implementing a British no-guns style over there.

I wonder why Levi packed a gun in his tux's pocket. Was he expecting trouble? Or does the zen peacenik Levi always carry?

I was picking at the preview showing Nathan charging Levi like some sort of rogue warrior, but I suppose somehow his shirt will get ripped off, maybe his pants, this is Ron after all.

You couldn't possibly be talking about that time when he also confronted him without a bloody bulletproof vest on even? Because, you know, it's not like Sonny's the type to shoot an unarmed cop in the chest or anything of the kind...

[tvgoddess]

Was it just me, or did it seem weird to anyone else to see Dante defend Maxie so vehemently? I know Lulu and Maxie are totes BFF's again, but it still seems weird that they're just all bygones about everything. I buy it more from Lulu, I guess. But Dante usually doesn't go out of his way for anyone else besides his family, and sometimes not even them. I guess what I'm saying is, when did this happen, this re-bonding with Dante and Maxie? I know the answer to this one, sadly. Yeah, offscreen.

 

Too bad, because I could have enjoyed Dante falling for Maxie while she was surrogating their baby. I would have enjoyed that much more than the story we actually got.

 

I still like Samtrick. Sue me. You'll be wasting your time though, because I'm pretty much broke. Sam looked pretty today.

 

I was all for Naxie, but Maxie's acting so stupid it's hard to justify it. They should have put Nathan and Sam together. Oh, the pretty would be too much.

 

Counting the days until Ava's on again. It's just way too boring for me without her.

[TeeVee329]

I guess what I'm saying is, when did this happen, this re-bonding with Dante and Maxie? I know the answer to this one, sadly. Yeah, offscreen.

 

I wouldn't even call it re-bonding so much as the show just glossing over everything that happened to reassert a status quo that shouldn't make sense anymore.

[dubbel zout]

I guess what I'm saying is, when did this happen, this re-bonding with Dante and Maxie?

 

I think it's more about Dante hating Levi than Dante rebonding with Maxie. And it's not as if Lulu would be crushed for Maxie if Maxie and Levi broke up, so Dante isn't trying to like Levi for Lulu's sake. No one but Felicia seems to genuinely like him. That should tell you all you need to know.

Off-screen GH, where all the good stuff happens, dammit. Although honestly I can't picture Dante wanting to be around this brain-dead version of Maxie for more than two seconds.

 

I do admit Naxie remind me of a low-rent version of what Maxie and Dante could have been though. I re-pictured those handcuff scenes in my head with Dante instead and wondered what that would have been like on-screen.

 

Or hell, I'd still be willing to see what Maxie would be like with Sonny's other two sons. Both more interesting options than Nathan. Well, maybe. Michael's relative dullness might not be able to overcome his relative lack of pretty.

Edited August 12, 2014 by ulkis

[tvgoddess]

Felicia was utterly annoying today. Looked fabulous, but she needs to just shut her mouth. \

 

I think Dante showed up because who else is even there for this wedding as guests? Mac, Felicia, Lante, who else? That should say something to Maxie too. I know it was a quickie wedding, but still. Maybe that's why she's wearing such a shitty ass dress.

I don't think anything can overcome Michael's dullness. Nathan is on the bland side yes, but prettier to look at than Michael, plus he's a cop. Everyone complains about the lack of doctors when I'd rather see the police force built up than the hospital. I wouldn't even say they have to solve that many crimes. At this point, one would be a stretch.

Edited August 12, 2014 by tvgoddess

[ulkis]

Yeah, do Patrick and Emma even knows of Levi's existence?

[Lillybee]

For the camp singing part, I keep imagining Spenser doing a cover of Frank Sinatra's My Way, wearing his smoking jacket, of course.

[twoods]

I can't stop laughing. This thread is way more entertaining than the show.

If Levi shoots or knocks Nathan out and he conveniently gets amnesia so nobody knows about the robbery, I'm going to really choke a bitch.

Speaking of...shut up Patrick. You really need to divorce Robin when Emma feels like she's already lost her mom?

ME did look very yummy today.

[Lillybee]

If Robin defrosts Jason, he should need a lot of rehab and we all know that Jason M. doesn't do rehab well.

[sunnyface]

Anyway, i half jokingly thought that maybe the interns put this episode together while the crew was at lunch because we got forward plot movement, while dialogue, lighting, wardrobe, and hair were all great for once.

 

 

If figures that this was an episode that my DVR failed to record despite it being on a regularly M-F recording schedule.  My television is probably pissed off at me for screaming not so nice things at it.

[NutmegsDad]

I'm just hoping that we're seeing the end of the shitty shitty Dunkleman storyline (and yes, when Mac picked up the Aztec book, I shouted, "I KNEW I wasn't imaging it!!"). Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

 

At this point, the only thing that would save the Jason reveal is if a) he was played by Michael Mulvey, b) he started to sing RHPS or "Putting on the Ritz", or c) it's Tom Bergeron plugging this season's DWTS.

Oh god...I'd forgotten all about that. Now I have a vision of the kids surrounding Alice's hospital bed as she feels her new heart beating and Kiki will be standing by attempting to feel and be in the moment and cry and fails miserably as she always does.

 

I know they often tried to paint the judge in Maxie's custody hearings as being rather hard on her, but the way she's behaving now just...she shouldn't parent a Chia Pet at this point.

[LeftPhalange]

I feel like I'm rooting for Maxie and Nathan to get together mostly for Mac's sake.  After dealing with Spinelli and now Levi, Mac deserves a potential son-in-law he doesn't want to throw through a window.

Nathan got pummeled and bloodied up by Levi.  That shouldn't have happened to a tall and muscular cop who exercises the way Nathan does and has had training in defense techniques at the police academy.  I hate to be blunt, but Levi fucked him up.

[CPP83]

I missed all but ten plus minutes of today's show and I realized I missed nothing because Levi obviously handed Nathan his ass before going off to marry Maxie, Sam and Patrick are still disgusting to me, and Robin got duped again because of course she did.

 

The previews look so awful I just can't even be bothered.

Edited August 12, 2014 by CPP83

Okay, I would like everyone to know that I wrote to someone, "Dante looks like he wishes he was at home sitting on his toilet readings the sports page" during the wedding. And then next scene he's walking along the hall. Okay, sure, we were probably supposed to interpret his look as "where's Nathan?" but I like mine better.

 

I hate Maxie. She deserves Levi. Lulu babbling about how Maxie didn't do anything wrong, just a mistake with love, last year? What the fuck ever. Shut up, Lulu. Go skate with Sonny, Maxie. I was ready to throw both overboard. If anything, just to get Maxie's dress out of my sight.

 

Levi was 100 times more interesting with his American accent being outright evil. He still needs to die quickly, mind you.

 

lol at Mac and Dante's looks of WTF when Felicia was talking about how Maxie and Levi were in love.

 

Didn't this show used to have good actors? 99% of the cast acted like they had no souls today. I'm sorry, Kim McC was bad. She got a little better towards the end, but that's just cause she was so bad when the guys first grabbed her arms and she was just all, "no. no. not. Ja. son."

 

Also, Robin is dumb. Did she really think Victor wouldn't double cross her? 

 

Victor wants Jason to be his metrosexual hitman. The battle between Sonny and Victor for Jason's soul will be epic, I'm sure. Sonny stuttering, Victor flailing his hands . . . it will bring tears to the eyes.

 

Lovely montage of Nathan and Maxie's four month relationship, in which they've shared maybe 4 one-on-one scenes because Levi is in 80% of their scenes. I mean, coincidental that it was DANTE who went after him and rescued him? I THINK NOT. We all know the real love story here.

I'm pretty sure he's also a robot though, so maybe Levi was just asking him conundrums or something and it fucked up his wiring.

Well Dante wasn't exactly rushing to untie Nathan when he found him and he did seem to be giving him a little bit of a look on top of it.

I think it was supposed to imply that she's now feeling  "conflicted"... *crickets chirping* I don't buy a single bit of this supposed growing "attraction" between them, it's laughably forced and bad, imho, and ultimately pointless.

[SoapDoc]

Well, the Dunkleman story line has to be ending right? I can buy that Levi got the best of Nathan in a fight because Levi had the gun and he obviously is not the nature-loving peacenik that he pretends to be. However, I don't understand Levi's plan. Did he plan to rip the earrings off Felicia today? He didn't kill Nathan or throw him overboard -- did he expect Nathan to die in the room? What? He also left Nathan in HIS stateroom so even if Nathan did die there, what? Nathan went to see Levi, Levi admits that Nathan came to his room, but now Nathan's body is tied up in his stateroom. This plan of Levi's does not buy him much time -- he would have been better off taking the necklace he did have and running after he tied Nathan up. There is no way that he can inconspicuously steal Felicia's gear now. Even if silly Maxie doesn't believe him, Mac will and Levi won't be allowed within 50 feet of Felicia.

 

As for Robin, my girl is a brilliant physician but damn. She is not a master criminal. She's surprised that Jason is not going to be allowed to just return home. Really?  I have friends that I went to med school with who I would not trust with a pet because they lacked common sense but Robin with her background should be better than this. I know it's the writing but she's smarter than this.
