tveyeonyou September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 (edited) Yes, but in the rest of the United States it's still necessary to have some steps between confessing and going to prison. We saw him at the PC police dept., then we saw him being taken to Pentonville. At least a line about him going to trial or having gone before a judge to allocute would have been nice. Not to go off topic but I wish the judge in the Jodi Arias case would take a cue from Port Charles as far as speedy trials are concerned. On topic? Why? Why are they draaaaaaaaagggggggging this kidnapping thing on and on and on? I was so happy to see NotDunklebrainless shot and then the crazy suit men came in with their disco smoke bombs. I'm oddly glad that Nathan will get to be the hero when he rescues 1 or 2 damsels in distress from his wacky new unfrozen Uncle Stavros. Carly and Sonny need to DIAF now.

dubbel zout September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 The set for the outside of the cabin still cracks me up. It's so lame. The handheld camera was too funny. Ugh, Sabrina. "Gabriel was my life!" Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure you'll find out the truth. Sabrina Santiago, Girl Detective. I liked Carrrlos telling her he was innocent "for that, at least," when Sabrina asked him if he killed AJ. There was a sort of charming wryness to how he said that. I'm no fan of either Ava or Nina, but I liked their scenes. You could see Ava thinking how nutty Nina is, and Nina went full-on crazeballs with her baby rabies. Lauren Jerome, Marriage Counselor. What did Nathan mouth to Maxie? It had to be something like "It'll be all right," but it didn't look like it. Why didn't one of the cops who was on the side take out Levi/Peter? He wouldn't have seen it coming. Good grief. The gassing of the cabin was hilariously cheesy. The Franco/Carly stuff was deadly boring. A total snoozefest. 3 Link to comment

SlovakPrincess September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 (edited) Sonny gloating about someone else taking the fall for him ... well, what are they even doing with this character anymore? Have they dispensed with the whole myth that Sonny operates by some code of honor, hurting only people he thinks threaten him or his family? It's like they've admitted "ok, yeah, this guy really is a bastard - but you're stuck with him forever anyway, audience, because ... um, reasons." WHY? Why is Sonny at this point? ETA: eh, never mind. There was no excuse for anything Sonny did to AJ a decade ago, or the crap he pulled with Jax to help Carly hog custody of Joss ... so I guess the writers stopped caring how gross Sonny is years ago!

sunflower September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 (edited) I hated Sonny gloating about Carrrrlos being in prison for a murder that Sonny committed. I keep on waiting for lightning to strike Sonny dead. I loved how Sonny just glossed over the fact that Michael is still grieving AJ and that being in the space he was shot by "look in the mirror, bitch!" might actually upset him. It's like Sonny forgot it's not about his creepy smiles over beating Franco and screwing Carly. He just might have a problem here with this kid he supposedly loves. Oops. And, were we supposed to feel a together bond between the Morgan, Michael, and Sonny? Because for me the scene demonstrated that the 3 of them are really on their own separate planets. Maybe it's just the knowledge that Michael is forever playing peacemaker and that will be over soon, but I didn't feel love, just awkwardness. Like even Michael gives a shit about Lulu. And is Morgan like in Maxie's crowd? How does he know what she'll do? Sharing one scene in futurepast brownstone doesn't count. Edited September 3, 2014 by sunflower 3 Link to comment

Awkwardness between the boys and Sonny. Michael and Morgan are fine, but Morgan and Sonny are still on ambivalent ground and Michael was wary of being caught in the middle of any fight that could potentially break out, plus he was brooding about his own shit. I don't think it was supposed to be some great family bonding moment, for anyone except Sonny and Carly, who will take what they can get. Link to comment

He said "I'm coming, okay" I have to thank whomever talked Dante and Nathan into stopping at the salon for those yummy blowouts before going to that hostage situation, b/c MEOW! that was some hott eye candy. I am slightly confused as to how Leeter's big plan all along was to use Maxie to get Felicia's jewels as a fakeout all the while kidnapping Lulu whom he'd bearly met was the REAL plan??? mmmkay.... I realized today I actually don't mind Franco ONLY when not around Carly, I haven't ff anyone yet, but Franco and Carly together are so boring with no chemistry at all that I'm getting close. Those scenes were nonsense, she just stood there fantasizing about Sonny but acts like she really wants Franco...yah totally not believable. I knew Ava and Nina would be great together, I just don't know why Ron stalled them meeting so long. Kiki as Silas' counselor was laughable, they really do struggle to make her relevant. The thought of Michael and Kiki double dating with Silas and Nina is scary! I found Carlos and Sabrina comic gold. Neither has any noticeable accent except when saying eachother's name in such an OTT accent, it had me rolling in the floor. Add to that Carlos' hair just hypnotizes me, I've never seen that much hair. I get so "caught up" in his hair I forget everything in the scene. Edited September 3, 2014 by Cattitude 3 Link to comment

Baxter September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 (edited) Ho hum. Long gone are the days of exotic locations and action shots. Now we get campy outdoor sets that look as fake as Leeter's American accent sounds. The hostage standoff and the subsequent gas grenade were right out of a 1960s Batman episode. I half-way expected Penguin to waddle in and crow about his victory. I don't know how the actors kept straight faces, but it was sure FUN to watch! Give me camp any day over Sonny hemming and hawing over his lines and gloating about an innocent man taking the blame for his crime. Nina and Ava. Quite entertaining. I think TCa has taken some acting lessons. For once, she didn't grate my last nerve. Not sure if it's her scene partner or if she's actually improving. But if she plans to go after Ava, God help her. Ava can take the little princess out without a second thought. All in all, a fun day in Port Charles. (Minus the cringe-worthy Sonny scenes.) Edited September 3, 2014 by Baxter 3 Link to comment

I know prison visitors are never searched on soaps, but she could have smuggled in all kinds of escape tools in that hair. Someone needs to tell the person who organizes the prison showers to put Carlos on the schedule. 4 Link to comment
annabel September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 We are still a day behind, so this was supposed to be the big Friday cliffhanger and we would all be on pins and needles and speculating wildly over the long weekend? YAWN. Nobody rushes to get out of the cabin, they all just stand around looking at each other? Doors and windows were open, so why did everyone keel over in about a minute? Unknown (oooh, cue spooky music) person strides through. Am I intrigued? Do I care who it is? At ALL? No, no and no. I have been watching DOOL for a couple of months, after decades away on any sort of regular basis and it is kind of a mess, but I am enjoying it more than this. 1 Link to comment
Kitty Redstone September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 For the first time ever, Sabrina didn't bother me today. I still want her character to go away forever, though, along with about 10 or 15 others. I think it's coming but I am going to be so bummed if Ava gets dead. Show, I've put up with the infamous jazz-handed repeater MSt and I'm willing to put up with Mugsalot Miller but please let me have AVA! Yes, this. I would be pretty upset if they let MW go while keeping the horrid Michelle Stafford and her flailing arms and creepy grin. 5 Link to comment
Jillibean September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 I've been tuning in a lot recently, and have found that it's surprisingly easy to pick up after months of inconsistent viewing, because nothing that I care about has happened. I agree about the unnatural, forced bonding between Sonny and sons. It felt like the actors didn't even know what they were doing in those scenes. Even their shuffling, weight-shifting body language was uncomfortable. Of course, MB tried to redirect the attention with his unique line readings, like preceding a statement about Lulu's unknown state of health with a hearty, "You know what?!" I couldn't stand Morgan when he first showed up, but I think I've come around. He's not a pointedly bad actor anymore, and he's not too hard on the eyes. I'm not interested in a round two brothers love triangle with Kiki, though, and it sort of seems like they're laying groundwork for that. There is no way I believe that any set of brothers would fight over such a creature even once, let alone twice. Loved Dante and Lulu making out joyously while Maxie was still tied to a chair. But while I understand the gas was supposed to be fast-acting, couldn't Dante the trained police officer have used the couple of seconds he had to walk over to the gaping open door and the fresh air, where the effects surely would have been diluted? It annoyed me to see people collapsing a foot away from the outside air. Nathan and Maxie have really grown on me. I'm almost sort of (gasp) looking forward to seeing where this goes. 2 Link to comment
Tiger September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 Ever since I started fast-forwarding any and all scenes with Freakco and/or Neens, I have bee enjoying the show a lot more. I think the only exceptions I will make is if Robin and/or Robert is also in the scene. That said, it seems like every Nina scene is much longer than every other scene. I feel like I'm ff'ing forever. I saw where someone pointed out that of FH's episode count, some of those episodes she didn't speak and in many others had minimal airtime and/or lines. The point I'm getting at is that I would love to see how much actual airtime a character gets as opposed to strictly episode total. Because I'd be shocked if MSt wasn't in the top 2 or 3 in actual minutes on screen, behind only MB and maybe LW. 2 Link to comment

Nina gets on my very last nerve, and I generally detest every scene she is in, but I did like how Ava was giving her the serious skunk eye. Apparently Ava is the only one in all of PC to realize how totally unhinged that chick is. Carlos and Sabrina together is the only way I can enjoy either one. They should get Carlos out of jail and put the two of them together. And then have them murder Sonny. 1 Link to comment

Happywatcher September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 (edited) I referred to the gas as silly, others here called it Batman gas (referring to the 1960s campy Batman). I am not a Ron supporter, but he does some things right. I think this was a lower budget attempt to be realistic. I think---think---he is trying to go back to 2002. Muslim terrorists had taken Russian families, over 100 people, hostage in a Moscow theatre. The reasons can be debated, and shouldn't be debated on this site, so I am leaving that alone except for the mention as a memory aid. However, the Russian special forces team used a special gas that contained a super hyped up version of the active drug in fentanyl, then disolved into a powerful organic solvent and spraying out as an aerosol. Wiki claims a single breath puts you down in 1 to 3 seconds, and it can be absorbed somewhat by the skin. This would explain the yellow suits Ron had the extras use, and the fact so many went down so fast on the show. In real life every hostage died because they need to get the antidote injected very quickly, and even then many people need intubation to keep breathing. So Ron may have this one right, and if this is what he meant then it makes glove man (the suited mystery bad guy) a super connected bad guy indeed.
