Right...

POTOMAC Part 3 of the trip. It was definitely the lighter of the parts I've seen so far. It was still messy, but they had fun. Say what you want, but Wendy was a good host. Sorry, Gizelle. 😜 And then Mia and Candiace came to an understanding. Clearly, it was not going to last, but it was nice while it last. And speaking of Mia...hahahahhahah at Messy Mia. I cannot believe she is the worst bone collector ever, but still funny. As soon as the camera panned to her and G while Robyn was talking to Askale, I knew there was about to be a mess. And given how G was in the van, they are a matchy pair. I don't think he is ready for Ashley though. However, he kinda is being Peter Lite. LA DAME. While I've loved that La Dame has been above the fray nearing the end of the season and focusing on her love of Ray, outside of funny moments she has not really been doing anything. I guess Wendy has stolen the wrath of the GEB that usually try to use it on La Dame, but that has been most noticable. Not that I have not been enjoying seeing her empire grow. It was just noticeable this episode. GIZELLE. Whatever ho. lol. I cannot believe how much she is bent out of joint due to no bathroom when she is only getting back what she put out at her Reasonably Shady party. And then Wendy messaged her to be sure she moved out okay. She is just trying to be relevant on this trip. And well...everyone is still having fun so...not working. ROBYN. SHUT UP, ROBYN seems to be my mantra. WENDY. Being a good host. And love that she is really paying the GEB nothing, but dust. ASHLEY. Up until the end, kinda did not stand out. And now, having drama with G? CANDIACE. What is this I see? Voice of Reason Candiace from earlier in the season back in the house? Wow. Who knew? lol. But in any case, it was good to see her and Mia talk it out. However, Chris was right. Candiace runs the danger of being iced out if she cannot take accountability for herself. Cuz Ashley (and Michael) ain't going anywhere. MIA. MESSY MIA!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Well, she's been keeping it popping. And that still keeping the fun going. But I don't think I will ever want her to not be the worst bone collector ever. lol. Never change. And I liked that she was even able to hold a conversation with Candiace. Now more problematic is G. Cuz do we need another Peter? And here they go with Ashley... Good episode.

Well darn!!! I wasn't expecting all THAT down there. Tessa, I'm jealous of you, gal!!!

And there ain't ANYONE hating on that.

Yep, yep.

Well, I like Stacy, but I prefer ED as Kristen, my Kristen. As far as Patty, I think I'm one of the few people here that liked her as Patty. Did she go off the rails? Yes. But before when she was just Mary Jane, I loved how they slowly revealed who she really was and Stacy played her with so much naunce during that time. By the time she was off her meds and going blonde, yeeeeeah she became just a psycho. And the writing just sunk her.

DADDYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Chris B yeah actress Jennifer Tilly (Sutton's friend) was on WWHL a little while ago and revealed that Sutton had gotten asked back and the look on Dorit (who was the other guest) face revealed she had not been asked back. Good to hear that a lot of people seem to be side-eyeing the robbery.

Wow. That honestly looked really good. Also glad that the glowup with Gina is real.

@Cat happy to hear you caught up. ETA: ALL STARS Hehe...at Teresa.

@titan1978 agree. But I might go a little farther and wonder if the writers are finally annoyed at Production for sticking their fingers in when they get momentum and now it is showing in their writing. Because even when there were moments when the momentum was lost (like for example post double wedding during Feburary Sweeps this year) there was definitely that 'throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' approach to the writing, there was at least something to keep viewers watching. But now...it's not even there at all. Well scratch that. I like these last few days entering November Sweeps. 10-29 Well...we know I live for Carly vs Nina. LW and CW just stay having excellent hate chemistry and when they are allowed to do their thing (and the writing is not bias), they are so great to watch. Same for Ava. LOVE her giving Esme that warning. THAT'S the Ava I've been missing. I don't like Gladys. But I will say that I'm liking her as the blackmailer in the Maxie/Brooklyn/Austin storyline. Oh, look at Shawn mixing into the Nik/Ava/Esme/Spencer storyline by way of Hayden. And using Spencer to get to the truth is a stroke of genius. And I continue to like Spencer vs Nik because no one is completely a white hat. It is really starting to take on something of Shakespearian proportions and so gothic if played right. But...will it? Please let this mystery story lead to Curtis getting a really good story.

POTOMAC 'Gurl, I got my check before you sat your a&* on this couch. I got it then. Imma get it now. And Imma keep getting it.' Tell her, Ashley!!!! BH 4 part what? BLOOP!!!!

I saw it on my way back from the laundry. Le sigh. This does hurt.

Suuuuure did.

HAHAHAHA!! Oh, how I giggled on my way to work today hearing this in her voice. SLC And Ooooooooooooo AND...

WOOF!!!

I'll do you one better. Fans already recognized that top that brunette chick has on as one of Kyle's, too. Single White Female much?

THIS.

THANK YOU. I couldn't find the right words to describe what I meant earlier. Abrupt was the best I could thin of watching them. But YES...that's how I've been feeling playing catch up for the last two weeks. Because the soapy elements are there. And there are pieces that I've been liking (Mike aftereffect, Brooklyn vs Austin, the hint of Michael Quartermaine, the stalker fallout, the mystery man who I am thinking is Curtis's Dad?) and the builds in parts have been soapy. But it's like...the writers are painting by number or just not feeling what they are writing right now because when they are feeling it, there's a flow, momentum, motivation that weaves in and out that it really has not been. And in some cases (for me, I'm looking at specifically how MB has been playing Sonny currently in my viewing), it's been up to the actors selling what is on paper. Some (imho MB is with Sonny, I would say MW as Ava since the stalker reveal and loving how she is being weaved into the Sonny/Nina storyline as well) are selling it. And others are not. Like I like the new development with this growing rift with Michael and Willow now that Michael Quartermaine is in the motherfrakking house...but I guess the actor/actress have mostly (for now) not sold me on it. For me, it's still the possibility of what he DID. The writing on the page. But it has no subtlety and worse...very little energy to it. Yet.

Well...I'm glad the Monthly Post Running Joke is still going... DISCUSS!!!!

I know...and STILL back at Season 4.

My apologies. I meant to get to this sooner. And yes...Oct 2023 for Part 2. I remember the 1984 version and have the first book and watched the SciFi Channel series and have waaaay too many friends who are uberfans, but I've been wanting to see people's opinions who have not read the book or series because I know Villanueve (who is an uberfan himself) went out of his way to take such a complex series and make it accessible to people who never read the books. Happy to see that he succeeded. And yes!!! Same. I felt the whole movie moved like a wave. How about Lady Jessica is...all of the above? I thought Rebecca played it well. My uberbook friend felt differently. Because Lady Jessica can be a BadA*(, but reserved and she felt Lady Jessica was not reserved enough. I don't know if you watched FARSCAPE but kinda like the character of Zhaan. OOOooooo and the worldbuilding. I cannot begin to tell you how since I've seen it, my mind has been so inspired to create. And I'm doing something for NaNoWriMo this year so inspirationg springs. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHAHA

10-26 Well, at least it wasn't Austin. RME. That said...as soon as Gladys mentioned she was doing recordings, I knew where things were going with Brooklyn and Maxie. Ugh. I would have rather see her as a mob moll by Novak. But alas. I got to give the writers some credit though. Interesting to see this rift going on between Michael and Willow. I like seeing Michael Quartermaine out of his shell and making trouble for Nina. Perhaps it will amount to something. MB is still doing good. I really don't see Sonny in any of these scenes since Nina was arrested or even when he bought Julian's bar. I just see Mike in a really nice suit. And I like that the writers appear to be going into the pyschological effects of Sonny being a whole other person. Even better cuz Carly is getting a hint of this...and is not trusting her gut. She is going to lose it when she finds out about them in Nixon Falls. Regardless of real life events, I am at least loving Britt/Jason still. Though I feel like the Greece trip has officially stalled after the abrupt rush to get to it that still worked in terms of momentum. Are the writers really planning on something with Liz and Jeff Webber? Hmmm...?

Well, technically, they were acting together before they found that out. And didn't they only find out because so many fans pointed it out. I would think it counts and it was the first guys who came to mind when I saw this thread. Excellent casting that led to them diving into their family tree.
