Per Juliajms's DEMANDS - haha - here is today's AMC daily thread!

I actually just got home from class - I had a long day and am about to watch my tape of the episode, but let's discuss....

And since SON was down yesterday, I just have to say that I loved the Kendall/Annie fight yesterday. Finally, saw a little flare in Annie! And Kendall of course was hilarious with her b!tch-self.

Also loved from Thursday's show Kelli Giddish's great acting in her few scenes with Dixie's casket. Oh and the Zoe/Maggie scenes were good too - Maggie was a little b!tch, but understandable.

:lol: Thank you. Hey, your threads are a tradition. I love how you always try to see the best in the show.

Anyway, today was good. I love that Annie might live at Wildwind. I like her more after her scenes with Kendall. She needed something or someone to bring out her personality and it finally happened.

Zoe was sweet today. Sure, it wasn't terribly realistic that Miranda saw him as a woman from the start, but it was sweet. I would kill to get a Zoe/JR romance, but for now Zinks is working for me.

I wonder were this whole Babe/JR/Josh triangle is headed. I hope it resolves itself one way or the other soon. All this back and forth is just too much.

oops I made my separate thread for the Ryan rant but putting it here as well :)

The Terminator Ryan

He is at the party ready to terminate some killer behind the Fusion victims but first we are going to play some games like pin the tail on the d1ck, hide and speak (that is, speak out against Ryan and his stupid self), who can make the most urine, and finally to see who has the biggest a$$hole both in size and in behavior oh wait no contest there that would be his holiness Ryan. So now let's examine ways in which Ryan can kill this Satin Slayer. For one, he can bore him to death by just telling stories about Dynamite Kiddo and his grand adventures with the Green Butterfly or get out his weed whacker (Ryan does indeed smoke weed-must explain why he is so weird) and use it on him for 40 days and 40 nights but I think the best way to terminate this killer is for Ryan to stab a wooden stake into his heart and shove garlic up his behind and ask the killer who his daddy is...then the next killing can be Ryan to himself as he recognizes what a complete loser he is and how the world would be better off if he were to wither away to the rats and become their cheese. Say cheese!

Ok - I can't deny this - but today's show was really good. It made me excited all over again for this Satin Slayer storyline....

Highlights:

Palmer/Opal!!!! :) :) :)

Best Dressed Female goes to: Amanda - man she was smokin' in that outfit! I was missing my girl.

Best Dressed Male goes to: Aiden - I loved his no-tie trendy look.

I really enjoyed the Julia/Annie scenes. First, Kathy/Emma are TOO ADORABLE together...it's almost a sin how adorable they are! Anyway I loved how Julia apologized to Annie and Annie forgave her and then the idea of Emma/Annie moving into Wildwind - that will be great for the two girls. That mansion is filling up QUICK!

I'm loving the ball - I always love an excuse to get most of the cast together onscreen. I thought that was an exciting ending with 'someone' calling out Amelia and then seeing Kendall dressed up like Amelia on the terrace. Good cliffhanger and it makes me excited again for this storyline.

So-So's:

The Bianca/Maggie/Zoe stuff was ok. Nothing exciting, but nothing horrible. I enjoy Liz Hendrickson and love her new darker hair, and I sorta like how they have this impending triangle coming on - or at least Maggie is trying to fight for Bianca - but I know Maggie leaves next week for good, so I can only assume how this story ends :( There at least better be tears and drama!

Lowlights:

How dare Babe make JR choose who he loves more, Adam or Tad. That's just wrong.

Josh/Babe - I am so OVER them. I loved how Babe went off on Josh and professed her love for JR to Josh...and then by the end of the episode she's letting him kiss her and JR/Jamie just HAD to see it all. GAG ME - I can't stand this back and forth crap between this triangle. Writers, could you please get over it already? The fans have.

I agree. How can their be a party without Erica Cane?

I like Babe, but I agree that all this back and forth stuff is just incredibly frustrating. It's not doing any of the characters any favors.

I'm ready for the "loser" whoever that may be to move on with someone else.

Yeah, I'd think that Erica would be more into Kendall's life right now since it's at stake - so her not being at the party is odd. I'm guessing that Susan Lucci hasn't been around much lately bc she took a lot of time off to play with her new, first granddaughter.

BUT Barbara is back on Monday, so get excited for some Erica/Barbara action!!! :)

GREAT Show today!!!!

Loved seeing Palmer, Opal, Di, Aiden, Del, and Amanda. (Jonathon I can do without...and I mean forever).

Annie will be a great addition to the mansion!

LOVED JR seeing Josh and Babe kiss. I'm so torn. I've been a Babe/Josh supporter for so long, but today I was so fed up with Josh. On the other hand, I refuse to give JR the time of day. He tried to kill his own wife and she's choosing to stay with him out of obligation to their toddler. It's a sick relationship.

GREAT ending! I'm spoiler free for the most part, so I can't wait to see who went up to Kendall!

Countdown to Janet's Return: 5 Episodes!!

The writers finally accomplished something today IMO. They made Josh seem like a stalker. A bonafide stalker. I never saw him as such because I never thought he was as bad as Greenlee was back in the 90's with her Ryan obsession and I thought that Josh for the most part was no where near David's "Dixie love" but they finally made it happen and they made me see Josh as a desperate stalker. That being said I still like Babe/Josh. I'm a sucker for them. Still. Colin and Alexa still make me want to route for them in their scenes even with horrid writing. Plus they are fun and for the most part agnst free and have no internal problems and that is something this soap needs. Couples fighting outside forces and not the couples destroying one another from the inside their "coupledom".

I think this entire plan to "stake" out the killer is stupid in every imagineable way possiable.

So I guess Ryan's not mad anymore? He's still licking Kendell's boot.

I like that Babe said no matter what JR does she will stand by him even if he decided to destory her mothers happiness. Thought it was kind of contradictive I feel that it shows that she is in ways torn over both of them and for good reason IMO.

I can't get behind Josh/Babe because of the stalker thing and the fact that they have the same damn conversation everytime they grace the screen. It's exhausting.

Oddly I liked the Kendall/Babe hug. I don't need them to be enemies just as long as they keep that snark. Especially Kendall. I enjoy Babe so much more when she isn't around JR, Josh, or Krystal.

The party was lovely. That house is lovely too. It's not very kid-friendly but still lovely.

Josh was funny with Kendall, and then stalkerish again with Babe. He kinda cracks me up with his yelling and whatnot while the others just look at him like STFU. Crazy little brother.

Seeing the vets was the highlight of the show. More please! Myrtle would've been nice.

Annie/Julia should be good friends. That's a nice match since Julia is already friends with Ryan and not so crazy about Kendall. LOL

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
