All My Shadows

I never heard that Honey Cone song before, but it's a good one! Sometimes I think they're a little shrill (I love Want Ads, but I can't listen to it on repeat like some songs), but they rock that one there.

That's great news. I really hope this leads to some deeper development with Fats as well as his relationship with Mercy.

I'd love to see more from the Beales, too. They should have expanded on Kenny Beale and his family ages ago, but it's never too late for Ian to have a cousin pop up and make his life a living hell.

"I'm a victim!! I'm a victim!!!!! I'm a victim!!!!!!!! I'm a victim of the very songs I saaaang!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N66FzKFa7Y This scared the crap out of me for a second

Oh, trust, they were dirty as hell in the 30s and 40s. I'll link this one because it might violate board rules if I embed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-n5vG2SjJY And this one's safe enough, I think:

I miss BH90210 My only regret in dropping SOAPnet. And Felice was a hypocritical bitch. Give me coked out Jackie Taylor or spaced out Iris McKay anyday!

Oooh SFK, I hope Antenna airs those episodes! I'll fix myself a mixed drink and invite people to come and mingle in my living room during the opening credits. Rose Garden!! Poor Lynn Anderson. One of the scariest mugshots ever.

Obviously Thomas Law left because the baby swap distressed him. He couldn't bear to see his name roll up in the credits during this period.

That sounds like a bunch of crap. Her daughter has trouble separating fact from fiction yet she's able to tell Patsy to "don't go back there." It doesn't make sense. She lets her 9-year-old daughter watch the show?

Didn't she, essentially, call the show a piece of sh!t not too long before she returned in 2008? I wonder if she sees the baby as an opportunity to finally close the book for good on Bianca and EE.

I wish the show would bring on an American family, or just a couple or two siblings or whatever, played by good American actors. It'd be something different and interesting.

Is it true that Joan and Aaron lived in the same building in Hollywood when they were both aspiring actors? At the TV Land Awards a few years ago, they honored Aaron and had various people from his shows come out and share brief anecdotes, and hers was about how she told him if he ever became a famous producer, she'd eat her "haht." So of course she said she'd have to eat one of the "fahbulous hahts" he had her wear when they "were making Dyyyynasty."

Yes, I love the whole country/country-pop renaissance of the early 80s. There's a nice, almost escapist sound to the music and the movies/TV that came out of it. You know Pam Ewing was shaking that flat ass to some Crystal Gayle when nobody else was home! Here's one of my fave Barbara songs:

Crystal Gayle turned 60 last week! Her first single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POzXY6BrAxY One of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M2cwZ9GOzY Such a lovely, beautiful performance...visually and audibly stunning. She really puts her all into every performance. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9saMzbU7yw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9saMzbU7yw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9saMzbU7yw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYNASTY!!! This sounds great, actually. I'm glad that it isn't the same as either the Dallas movie that failed or the Dallas series that's coming up. Let Dynasty do its own thing! Dynasty in the 60s? It has win all over it. What if Joan plays young Alexis?

Twice a week for nearly 30 years, then they added a third, and you know what they say about giving an inch... Carl, I meant to reply to that last week, but I forgot. I wonder why they keep Michelle/KM around anymore. Like you said, she barely ever has any story or anything to do. As far as Graeme and Tina, I actually kinda hope they write Tina out (but not with Graeme). She has no reason to hang around the street anymore. She and David are no good together, but maybe she can reunite with Jason. Either way, I can't see her around for long.

*happy dance* Get on out the door, old boy!! Now if they'd only get the guts to trim some of the others off.

They're acting as if the baby switch completely voids the cot death element of the story. There will still be a family dealing with the death of a newborn baby, and the show still has the opportunity to portray how traumatic it can be. The baby switch element doesn't take away any of that. I actually feels it adds so much more because while Kat, Alfie, and their people are dealing with Tommy's "death," we will also see Ronnie dealing with the monumental guilt and stress that comes along with what she did. Not to mention the aftermath, which should be nothing less than epic. The scenes of Ronnie finding James dead felt just a little bit off to me, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because we didn't see him in the crib, but then again, I figured any young mother who finds her newborn in what looks like a dead state would immediately scream for help or call 999, not wander around the square.

Oh my God, the way Mercy said "Arthur!" reminded me SO much of Pauline.

You have to admit, she's charming

So wait, Marcus is returning and so is Ken's gay grandson. I'm sure they'll all be lumped into a story together.

I have today's episode ready to be watched tomorrow, but is sounds like it's going to suck. Oh, and yes, Deirdreh will never give Trehcehluv the ass-whooping she needs.

Whoever came up with the idea to use that shot of the Thames when Kathy left was a genius. That plus Julia's Theme is extremely touching, no matter the circumstances. I always think they should just let Julia's Theme play out over the credits. The full-length version is a gorgeous piece of music.
