BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread
Ya know bingers are not going to care if a cliffhanger is on Friday or maybe on Wednesday. How important is it for a cliffhanger to be on Friday? This thought is new to me but having 'thunk it I thought to mention it here.

I think he was pretty clear about his meaning which is basically the devil you know as compared to the one you do not know. He did not say what you just typed, that one world was more dangerous than the other. Of course, the reason matters, because he wants to know how Elizabeth is, after the wreck. I don't know if this will be of interest to others or not. When I edit the first thing I do is create a base file where I've gotten rid of everything I am not interested in. Yesterday's base file is just under 19 min. which for me is SO LONG!!!!

I am of the opinion that they had it in place to debut the show in January but then someone had the idea, which was a great one, to tie in with Black History Month which meant pushing off a month, or 3 weeks, to do that. Compare to the 2 days which comprise March Madness as it relates to this.

I don't see it the same as you. To me, sure, the show has settled down & I was very glad that it did. The first weeks I don't think that could or should be sustained. No, sensory overload just tires you out, wears you down & we don't need that. The pace is still very fast. What is being done or said is done so with a great deal of spirit. I have not yet even once been bored, nor have I ff'd. What is it that we say? This is not a sprint, this is a marathon. It suits me.

I'm not sure what this means. ?? 🙄🤷♀️🤔🙃😜 But, I kinda hope it goes that way because I feel like it would be a good thing for the new team to put their mark on it, ya know? Something they can point to & say, Look this is what we did. And, BTW, 18 days is only 432 hours.

I was trying to remember. I think someone in the past was financially its sole underwriter.

Most obvious is Ava. So, it's not her, right? LOL To me it would be satisfying if it were Rafe, but then they'd likely send him to prison & I'm not sure they are ready to cut Galen Gerin loose, yet.

Isn't he wonderful?!!! The actor, Vince Williams, the character Hampton Speakes, usually called Hamp. Died way too young. I'm a sucker for sax solos & I liked the character other times, too. One of my favorite songs from way back when is "Yakety Sax", a playful and high-energy saxophone melody. The song was originally composed by Boots Randolph and James Q. "Spider" Rich, with Boots Randolph himself playing that iconic sax solo. The latter has zero to do with GL, sorry. BTW have you ever in your whole life seen anyone sexier that Maureen Garrett, Holly I mean, of course.?!!

An outline? But, the thing is whatever is left that he wrote is bought & paid for. They own it. They can do anything they want, to it. They are literally free to use it, toss it, or like you say, edit it.

Javi, hot? I don't get it. Guess it's just not a look I could admire. But, he is a more than decent talk-to. He was really good trying to get through Rafe's thick skull. So, now, People with Guns: Ava, Johnny, Gabi, Rafe, JJ, Shawn, Jada & Kristen. Although notably Jada's gun is MIA. People without alibis: Rafe said he went out to get beer, but Javi said they'd had beer there in the fridge to which Rafe replied that he guessed he hadn't seen it. Kristen took a shower & was blow-drying her hair. Jada was getting very drunk & had her phone turned off. Ava has suddenly left town. Johnny said he went for a walk after he left his Granpa Roman's pub. Gabi, who the hell knows where she was, maybe this whole time wandering in the Square Before he was shot, we saw both Ava & Kate outside, somewhere.

Your daily (or nightly) thought
Where did the expression "take it with a grain of salt" come from? This popular idiom is used to preface information you’re not totally confident in. For example, if Betty tells you there’s a rumor a new manager will be hired, you might cautiously repeat that information, but with a disclaimer to “take it with a grain of salt.” The expression also can be used in more formal contexts, such as, “The data seems skewed, so take these results with a grain of salt.” The intention remains the same: The statement has a degree of doubt.

The list of things Carly does not know that other people do know is just getting longer & longer. Going way back, Carly does not even know that it was Brennan who destroyed her FBI audio file that proved her guilty of RICO violations! Jason knows but has not told her. There are so many things & whenever she eventually finds out, she is going to be so furious!!! Eden said in an interview that it is a long time before Carly knows Joss was recruited by the WSB. I do not care at all what Sonny knows. Frank thinks we are impressed by sets! I think the WSB should recruit Emma, too & they can be partners.

Great fun!!! Was Krista the Mindy at that event? Unlike some fans I was never really bothered that "Mikey" was not going to be winning any acting awards & I actually liked him as one half of the "fan joke" homoerotic bromance that Philip & Rick were the most enduring couple & with Abby plus with Mel since Yvonna Kapsaz Wright had enough acting ability & stage presence playing Mel to carry him with her. Your anecdote illustrates perfectly how quick he could be. AMEN to that. Between NYPD BLUE & ER Jill took being derivative to a new level at AW which that show did not need! Who was that? And, could you imagine in words for the rest of us, clueless?

Definitely testing her. She was in the preview for tomorrow saying something about her recovery. That diner confused me. At first I thought Joss was walking into Bobbie's.
