Things really need to pick up. I understand that they're trying to set things up but at least have some good action. Also, I hate that everyone is at a different location once again. Get everyone together, Tim Kring!!

The pacing is so bad, it hurts!! If they don't fix something soon and fire Philbin and Green, I'm done with this show. Plot-holes galore, coma-inducing stories (twins and Hiro), plain awful sh!t like Peter in Ireland and Niki wanting to be cured, Candace...

And how many unbelievably corny moments did this episode exactly? Signature Philbin writing.

Yes, Kring is guilty, too, but these two also. Bad dialogue, awful structure. Bye, bye, Greene and Philbin.

And what on earth are Loeb and Alexander doing over there?? They should know better and steer Kring in the right direction!

And ratings are down - from 8.1 to 6.4.

I like the twins (them, Nathan, the Bogeyman, and Micha's family is intriguing to me)... now Peter's storyline and Niki wanted to be by the Company (despite the fact that she worked for them, and know the "evil" that they do) that is some mess. And I can do without the same ol' mess that Sylar's doing. I'm also tired of them not revealing more of the older generation yet.

To me, the whole idea that Niki is serious about curing herself from this "disease" is just so naive and unbelievable. That woman Micah is going to stay with is I guess his grandmother (or is she?) and she has an intriguing face, so I'm waiting for some interesting stuff over there.

The twins are all over the place, they keep running from the law, than there's that badly written scene with the fortuneteller, escape from prison equally bad, their power is weird, too.

Too many deus ex machinas for my taste - every time we need a power or a miraculous escape, oh, look - there is a character that has it and that can get us out of this mess. And there is the fact that at the end of each episode there is a cliffhanger that is quite good, but that's supposed to delete the previous 40 minutes of plain boredom.

    • Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

    • I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic. 
    • Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!  
    • Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?
    • So I was reminded that we're now meant to be celebrating PRIDE by this amazing post:

    • RIP to our hero, John Black

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
