The only storyline I don't like is the AIDS one, even though I realize it must have been ground breaking and important at the time. It's dragging and making the mood way too grim. Of course it will be grim... There is nothing not grim about AIDS... But still... Dragging, slow... And I really don't like Stuart and Cindy. They have absolutely no chemistry and the whole thing is just... Forced and "here we are going to show you a lesson or two about AIDS". The narrative becomes too didactic at times. And I have nothing against didactic, but it's too much. I am even thinking of starting to skip their scenes or watching them in 1.5 speed. It's just one and the same now for 3 months. She's sick but you love each other, got it. Everyone who hates her is bad, got it. Stop pushing it down my throat every single episode. And the melodramatic music and love montages don't help. Just not my cup of tea.

I don't.

Thank you for keeping us updated with links and articles. I'm so bad at keeping track of what's new. And I know I can come here and catch up. 💗

Erica Kane Quote of the day. "Honesty is relative." March 14, 1988 (1).mp4

If you didn't know what you are looking at... you would probably think it's The Blair Witch Project. Shots through creepy branches... Reva screaming in the middle of the woods... Can't get more horror-movie than this. And looking at more of the 2008-2009 episodes - horrible sound editing - men verbally sparing in the woods sound like they are recorded in a studio. Crisp, pristine dialogue. You can clearly see the branches moving and there is absolutely no hint of wind or nature in the edited version. Unnatural and amateurish. That's like Lesson Number 1 of editing. Whoever agreed for this to go on air... really did not know what they were doing.

bring it on 😈

I am into Strike 1988 material (I think I am - March 15, 1988) and so far finding it even more thrilling then the pre-strike episodes. We'll see if that is a... couple-of-episodes-kind-of-thing or if it will continue. Maybe I'm watching episodes that have been written pre-strike.

Liberty Biberty really is hilariously bad. 😂

Agree with this.

Thank you for the file. ❤️

Now that's what I love.! ❤️

You guys have seen this? It has some hardcore sounding stuff in it.

THIS IS JUST.... Wonderful! And huge THANKS to both you and the person at the library! So nice of them to check this out. Must have taken them a considerable time. And to do this for free... Ah...

Maybe he will call Gaza - "Melania-Land" after he's done with the building process.

This is becoming more and more disturbing each day. I had to double check if I read correctly when I read that.

It's not her best song or even in her top 20. But it's still so much better then the sickness song. I am also interested in what the rest of the album has to offer. The video is good, but not... WOW Gaga is doing something revolutionary-good. It's just good. Like it, she has better videos again. I think she's gone into territory where her past material is so iconic that it's so hard to live pass it. Michael Jackson / Madonna type of curse... where people can't shake off the memory of your greatest hits. Overall I still give it a solid 6/10!
