Now that I can see that picture...hey, Josh, hey!!! hehe. I think it is in the center of the maze. I'm still wrapping my head around the promo announcing there IS a maze. But that could be because I have been watching reaction videos of Westworld Season 1.

No doubt. I've been doing a very slow rewatch of ANGEL myself.

Oh?

But as has been mentioned...we haven't gotten to those episodes post-feedback to see if they listened to the feedback yet so it's a moot point. At least for now.

Yeah, you would think Alexia and Amanda could be co-leading ladies if anything. Because the rivalry does have legs. But slanted writing and all that. Very. CM is playing a prick to the hilt.

I like how you think. Same. See I have to disagree somewhat. I feel they have found a rhythm. Finally. Before it seem they were figuring what works. And some of the people over there do see that the way to go is to have an A story with B/C plots lining it week to week. However, I've felt in terms of A story, they have only had...3. The problem early on was that they couldn't use (or wouldn't in the case of Martin's secret) it to anchor on due to what they had planned. It's part of the reason that the SilkPress storyline was the best paced of the main A stories. I also feel that's why it IS still featured even if it is more or less a B/C plot (depending on week) as they not only play beats, but allow it to build again. The issue becomes what they choose to rotate in from week to week. Sometimes it has been good. Other times it can be jarring. ie. having a strong week only for Vanessa/Doug storyline to pop up jarrily. I am also starting to feel some of the rotating of plots to the point viewers ask about it right up until it appears again like magic is probably intentional. But I personally don't see how anyone (not meaning you) can pick on missing plot threads so doggedly on a show that's been on for only months when GH has made it an art form and it's been like that since RC was HW.

Very true. I just finished last week's B&B today. And like I said, fluff. Enjoyable, but fluff.

6-12 And this is why I like rewatching. I almost always come across something I missed the first time. In this case...so Ted AND Carlton have a practice TOGETHER. And Carlton just got back? Really? So that means we should be seeing MORE of him? YES, PLEASE. lol. Cuz that thang was SWING-ING. If you know, you know. But playing catch up at the same time, I just feel that I should point out that that it was long established in the first few weeks that Kat was the office manager and had been looking forward to stepping back to start the purse business with Chelesa. She was waiting for Chelesa to tell Dani. Also I loved this episode brought up what was discussed a few pages back about Ted and Nicole were planning on paying for Eva classes and learning coding and all the skills she did not currently possess. From Eva's lips mind you. And in the 'did you just mention that yesterday' department, you know I loved the discussion of where Mr. Crooked Cop is...only for him to pop up. In light of the above tweet...well...seems planned to me. If not...more well-paced than it appears. That said...the bounceback was real this episode. I'm not surprised since it's a Sara Bibel/Cheryl Davis episode. I find their episodes together pretty good. And that might be that there's a focus on what I like...a central story (preferably for me an A story)...with little plots around it. And given what follows and the focus this episode...I would say A story. And thankfully, it's the A story that I wanted the show to get around to...namely Martin's Secret. So not only is Martin starting to get more detailed flashes, but it's popping up at random times OUTSIDE of his dreamscape. Well...UH OH. And to add more fuel to the fire...somehow his secret is connected to the crooked cop, too? More storylines converging? Well...YES, PLEASE. The cherry on top...Smitty has been assigned to go and interview said cop. I also loved that Martin went to Nicole. Those were great scenes. And now he might see about getting professional help. And now the mystery man has seen him again? The plot thickens. I said a while ago that I enjoyed the fallout from the SilkPress storyline because there has been so much to deal with. Possibilities. Angles. Etc. And as the well-paced story of the show, I've loved it. And this episode, it gave solid B plot with all of its plot threads. The only flaw I had with the storyline as of late...okay two if I count the recast of Ted...has been that since the reveal of Eva...Nicole's POV has been background in her own story. Part of the reason I hope is true. I understood trying to get to how SilkPress felt even if it made her too sympathetic. I understood giving NuTed time to adjust and connect. But...where was Nicole in all of it? Especially after her superb angry scenes? So I have liked that she has slowly had her POV weaved back into it. But I admit that I found that odd and a false note in an otherwise great story. I liked that Eva and Kat had a scene, but that was too brief. They after all are THE rivalry. Not that I'm not liking Kat vs SilkPress, but I hope they don't get away from it toooo far since that is just a goldmine of drama that can last for YEARS. Not to mention they have excellent rival chemistry. And Kat's subplot to catch SilkPress? I can't believe she pulled Mona into it. She is bound and determined, and I can't hate her for that. And like I said, I can see Kat and Jacob in a spinoff. Meanwhile...Mona back with SilkPress...it just reminds me of how much I miss the Have-Nots together. And well-played by Kat to get the DNA. HEY, CARLTON, HEY!!! Still here. Still having more sparks with Nicole than NuTed. I was happy to see NuTed in a more tailored suit. Nice bubble btw. And I liked he's about to be more messy by hiring Eva at work when he and her are still very much pariahs. But I at least want to see where it goes. C plot is brought to you by Ashley and Derek. I enjoyed Naomi and Derek. I kinda didn't mind Andre with Ashley. But solid C plot service. Same.

Hehe

And then thought she was going to fight. I was like...didn't the last time BLQ landed a slap on you, it was the backhanded pimp slap that made you stumble backwards? Have a seat. Very.

6-11 I changed my mind. I think the first time around, I was meh on this episode. The second time...well...it felt a little bit better. And as background music to other stuff going on, I did it again. I think this episode was the 'Thursday' of the week for me. And I've been enjoying how Anita's story has been the main story for the last little while so there's a void now that TT is out for now. Overall, it was meh, but I liked little things in the episode. For me, I love the Dani/Nicole dynamic. And I LOOOOVE Nicole in another power suit. Since the start of the show, I have loved how the sisters continue to be there for each other no matter what. And the cup breaking scene is sooo Dani...who looked fabulous in her dress. Nosy Nurse dealing with Bill was great. She got something else to do. And Bill's hand tremor storyline has been a nice C plot that is strong enough to be a B plot that bring several threads together and keep the Dani/Bill/Hayley story alive. I love seeing the Kat/Chelesa friendship. Cool to see them with their own storylines now on top of them starting a business. And I believe you all were just talking about that. lol. As much as I love Eva, I'm not sure if she should be able to get out of pariah status just yet. She's been written like an underdog now and I don't mind it. Just saying. Good to see Laura mixing it up in storyline and trying to play matchmaker between her and Nicole though. Still...outside of Kat...I just feel there needs to be more anti-Eva given how things went down. And I do like Nicole referenced the fact that Eva trying to stop the reveal at the anniversary party was last minute. And I just smh at Silk Press Sheila still being able to gaslight Eva so easily. In fact, this was the first time where I felt she was a little tooooo cartoony for me. Though I love that she loves her soaps.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not even caught up yet, but I jumped to today's episode with the quickness when I heard someone did what I just discussed yesterday. lol.

I bet that secret is she's related to someone she should not be related to.

Hehe. Very. Though I thought AS looked great today. The fact that Havins is more viable is why BLQ should be reset in some way. She's a Q for Cricket's sake AND Ned/Lois's daughter. She should be so much more than what she is. And while she might be crying over all that happened, she would not be taking this bullying from Lulu sitting down. But given the writing on this show...rather than nuances in that...I'm sure BLQ is about to regress because of what Lulu did...which sadly will prove Lulu right.

And did.

But did Drew though? After all, he did everything wrong to make this happen. Yes, Michael probably will listen to Jason, but Jason don't care for Drew anymore than Drew cares about putting his ego aside for Scout. So he don't get to throw kids in anyone's face, either.

That's the vibe I'm getting as well. And I love them together, but something keeps setting off my Spidey sense with Madison. So I wonder if she's related to someone who might be against Chelesa or the Duprees in some way.

So basically what's going on with Lucky this go-around.

6-13 Fluff. Harmless fluff, but fluff. Oh, well, it was nice to see Remy this week. And I'm always here for Li and Dollar Bill.

Yeah, their tension has always been there, so I was happy to see with Sam's death that it finally came to a boil and has stayed out in the open since. Outside of Jason vs Ric, I live for it. Well...at least you're not cheering for Sonny. 😜

Hayley. But he has chemistry with quite a few ladies not named Ashley.

SLAP HER AGAIN, BLQ!!! SLAP HER FOR ME!!!

GET HIM, JASON!!! I'm always here for Jason vs Drew. SB and CM have perfect hatred chemistry.

Hahahahhaahaha!!! Not Carrie!!! Same. And I never knew that day would EVER happen. I respect he has enough self-respect to just walk away even if he didn't want to. IKR. Color me shocked because today was the most interesting they have ever been together. He lit Ashley's butt up. I really can't believe he would. I mean...it's Derek. A himbo? Who knew? lol. Them blue jeans....mmmm.

lol. I was just thinking of you since I've passed a Gio scene as I type this. That's how I'm feeling about Chase in those pants. But he...uuuh his wardrobe has been...uh...giving since the Nurse Ball...:) Perhaps it's karma for what led to his exit from Y&R. 😎 Come on, BLQ. Slap her already.
