She looks like an umpire! I like the hint of edge MES has here.

Yes, although I think there's only one or two episodes that are explicitly poor - they happen right after the end of Leland. The rest in the back half of season 2 are a mixed bag and don't suddenly go from terrible to great. The "good" episodes have a lot of material that I struggled with (Audrey's degradation, the pine weasel story, Ben Horne's "comedy" mental illness story, Annie/Dale, just about anything Dale, etc.)

I guess they could have thought leaving him to turn would be a better idea, in case any Terminus people stumbled upon him at the cabin. I'm not sure. The whole thing was so vaguely written. I just hope this wasn't some excuse for Tyreese to learn some moral lesson and poor Sasha dies. They already did those stories with Rick.

Chad Coleman said on Talking Dead that Tyreese thought he killed the guy. I'm not sure whether that's just what Tyreese is telling himself, but I don't think he intended for the guy to live.

There ended up being so much fan talk about how the show always has to replace one black guy with another, and I can understand why people feel that way, but after they seemed to make more effort last season with diversity I'm kind of sad to see that get no credit and people only mention the issue when this happens again. I don't really agree with the people who say Tyreese not killing that guy at the cabin is responsible for what happened to Bob. One guy wasn't enough to help the Terminus offshoots recover. That's on the people who insisted that Rick not go back and kill the last of the group. I also don't agree with the people calling Tyreese "mammy" because he spends a lot of time taking care of Judith, but for some reason this character always gets the most heat for racial stereotypes. I thought the episode was a decent setup to what is likely coming. There was some idiot plotting, but I liked seeing more of the interaction between various people in the group. I just hope Tara confessing everything already doesn't mean she's going to die. I love her with Maggie and Glenn. The actors all have such easy chemistry and we get to see both sides of Glenn through these relationships. My favorite scenes in the episode aside from Glenn/Maggie/Tara joking around were probably the scenes with Carl and Rick. Carl trying to see the best in people, but not being overly naive about it, is a believable development for him, instead of just having him only as the male Lizzie or as the group burden. Chandler Riggs brings so much subtlety to his role now and he and Andrew Lincoln are great together, as always. And seeing Judith with them makes me happy. Gabriel's intro was a little heavy-handed, but I'm interested to see what he can bring to the group once he begins to develop. His awkwardness amuses me, as it seems natural, unlike, say, Eugene, which is just more of a caricature. I'm glad we get to see more of Carol's internal struggle. Abraham remains the weak link for me. He's just so forced and so overdone and I have a hard time believing the group would want to go with him. I also have a hard time buying the likely leadership battle they're setting up. The show doesn't give him any moments where I should or would feel anything for him. He just seems way too entitled and I feel like we were supposed to care just because, not for any reason given in the writing.

Great photos. Their son was very underrated on GL (also very charismatic). I wish Susan had grown out her hair in later years too.

I don't think this episode had been on Youtube before.

McConnell was winning even before that. I think the coal issue (which is often pooh-pooed by many but is hugely relevant in KY and WV, among other states) and Grimes being a little too polished without being tested did her in. Her gender is probably an issue too. The media sucks, as always. They won't rest until we are officially a banana republic. If we aren't already.

No.

I don't remember Gawker ever getting all that involved in political races.

Delicious, delicious scenes not long after Alexandra found out about Mindy/Roger. Putting on her best naive routine, she emotionally tortures Mindy and puts the last nail in the coffin of her relationship with Roger. THIS is what they used to call soapy. I enjoy it more than the later takedown scenes. My favorite part is when she praises Mindy for what she can do while "flat on her back." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ8Pyrck4vM&index=6&list=UUMzfXBdkJBnz14rGTDBnVDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxQS0TuzpTo&list=UUMzfXBdkJBnz14rGTDBnVDw&index=5

This was when Pickett had recently left the role for good, after a brief return. They then cast Carrie Mowery, who was very basic and forgettable.

Just putting this on the current page for people who may not have seen it. I really like Terry Kiser's work. I wish John had been around longer. The character also seems very ahead of his time; primetime got people like this with St. Elsewhere, not so much before. (Pamela looks much younger on the show...)

Daytime TV November 1971 http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-27#entry1000050

A spring 1980 Daytime Stars mentions that GL producers regretted not choosing Cynthia Bostick (who played Douglas' wife and Jeff's love, the unstable Marcia, on ATWT in 1979-1980) as a recast for Jackie Marler, and might still do so. (clearly they never did)

This is from an April 1970 Daytime TV, so you might count that as spoilers. http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-21#entry961197 http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-21#entry961198 Who's Who in Daytime TV 1966. http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-21#entry962000

I don't think I ever put that much material from this era of the show, but I did have one or two things I posted a while back. http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-20#entry957189 http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/27061-the-doctors/page-20#entry957218
