Todfay goes down in history as one of the most horrific days in AMC history. IMO. It was almost up there with Bianca's rape. Was anyone else the slightest bit disturbed by that scene? It was all around horriable. Watching Babe see Max dead on the ground and then only to be viciously assaulted by the serial killer was something that was soo disgustingly evil that I could barely watch. It wasn't enough for him to simply drug her (as he did with everyone else) he has to attack her and batter her around. He swung her around, pushed her into the car, pinned her onto the car, proceeded to strangle her and then drugged her. all the while she was screaming and begging him not to do it. Begging him to stop. It was like a rape. What is wit the violence against women on AMC first we get the Erica, Kendell fake attempted rape. Then we get the Bianca real rape and then we get the rape of Lily now we get to see Babe being horriablly victimized that is almost the same as rape involving the same cruelty and beastilaity. Today was good awful.

Short of Amanda/Janet and Babe/Zoe there was nothing good about today. I did like Zabe usurping JR's pigheaded mind. But even that isn't enough to warrant such a horriable attack on screen. It was disgusting and no, no one deserved that.

The nerve of this man to sprinkle gardenia's on top of her while she is dying. UGH!

BTW: Babe had a body gaurd the guy knocked him out.

Hot diggity damn! Good times! Can't wait to watch now!!

But, seriously. I can see through McTavish's overused ploy of terrorizing her favorite whore character to make the audience have sympathy for her -- which is tired. Raping Gloria Marsh, Julia Santos(pre Keefer), Kit Fisher... all whorish characters when they first debuted... has desensitized me to this tactic.

And what is it with violence against women on AMC? I'll tell you what it is...

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
