Congrats to the Joker! 3 straight AO's - amazing! After the first two sets going to a tie-break, I thought I would miss one of the greatest matches ever but Andy couldn't recover after being broken in the 3rd set. Nah. I just lost $10. If Murray won, I would've won $60. LOL

If players have a problem they should speak up more and maybe they can get the rule changed. Put pressure on the people who make up the tennis rules. If there's no rule where it says she has to disclose her injury, then she should be able to keep quiet. Why tell your opponent what your injury is if you don't have to. Obviously that idiot with the banner doesn't know the meaning of cheating. LOL

If it's within the rules, it's just gamesmanship. She wasn't doing anything illegal to get an advantage. I think athletes should do whatever they can, within the rules of course, to win. I'm going to miss the Men's final. Hope Murray wins (so I can win money!) LOL

What a fantastic and dramatic women's final. Li Na rolls the ankle, there's a fireworks break, then Li Na rolls her ankle again and hits her head on the court! There were so many games that were broken. And it's hard to play when the crowd is against you but Azerenka prevailed. I guess the Aussies didn't like what she did in the semis. LOL Also, props to Li Na for getting back up to continue playing (and playing well).

Nolan/Emily/Aiden are the best part of the show - love them scheming and planning together.

"Y&R has long been known for its music. So much so that it's "often described as a character unto itself," It's not anymore. I haven't liked much of Paul Glass' music direction at GH which is disappointing because I thought OLTL's music direction was pretty good.

Music Supervisors = Music Directors? Still sad to see them go. I was always like their music direction (again, pre-JFP). Speaking of music direction, what's up with Paul Glass playing Sonny/Brenda's theme for any couple now? That's just wrong.

Darn, the second one was still being used pre-JFP. Ah okay, so the more pop-ish sound and rock stuff is just JFP trying to "modernize" the show's music. Yikes.

What's considered contemporary cues? The music that was used before JFP started was just fine.

RC was the music director since the early 90's but only started composing for GH in 2005. JFP will probably also bring on FOJ, Dominic Messenger to compose. I wonder if DM is already composing for Y&R because "Upbeat Rock 1" sounds a lot like what's airing now. http://music4pictures.com/?page_id=20 Y&R losing its music composers hurts a lot because the music was such a staple of the show (aside from a few bumps in the road: LML's reign and most recently JFP's tenure).

http://www.highlight...llywood-news-2/ If this is true......WHAT?! David Kurtz and Jack Allocco have been with the show since at least 80's and created so many great cues that enhanced the scene. This is terrrible!

Now the show will have gone through 3 showrunners in 4 seasons? Geez, get it together, AMC! You can only tinker the show so many times before it falls apart.

That's why I felt bad for TG, because David Morrissey. He was so good in that scene and at the beginning of the episode with TG's zombie-daughter.

The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread
Wow, loved all the action and The Governor/Michonne's fight was EPIC!! was my reaction when Michonne stabbed the Governor in the eye with the broken glass. I kinda felt bad for the Governor when Michonne "killed" his daugther. Glenn/Maggie are the best and most kickass couple of TV. Loved these two together. Though I really enjoyed this year's winter finale, I thought last year's was better because of the Sophia revelation and for Michelle MacLaren's awesome directing. Can't wait until February!

The whole business takeover was fun to watch. This is the type of business storylines Y&R should be doing - they have the players to do it. Still don't care about the Porters storyline.

LOL I hope they never use them again. Yeah, the November eps haven't been too bad. Yup, some of it sounded it came from a teen show.

Reminds me of an episode of "The Newsroom" where on the night of news breaking about Bin Laden's death, Will, who was high, insisted on going on the air. Maybe that's what probably happened here. There was no way Diane wasn't going to be on, on such a historic night.

Wonder what The Initiative will make Conrad do now. I'm going to say bad since she tried to drown her daugther. She's hot, so I wouldn't mind if she stayed a bit longer. LOL He's great! He's there for Emily emotionally, and he's helping her with her plans.

Awesome speech!! I loved the passion he showed! I'm so proud of him. And what a beautiful family he has! Who was the hot the brunette in the black dress that came out with Biden? Loved the shots of people singing and dancing and throwing confetti and just celebrating.
