AMC: Monday

[Cheap21]

Kathy is adorable but I can not understand a word she says. I think the little girl who plays Emma is a better child actor

I enjoyed the Krystal/Colby scene and thats a surprise bc I cant stand both of them

[R Sinclair]

Today's show was Beall's breakdown and Bugler's script. So of course today's episode was exactly what it was -- an agenda-driven mess.

Beall beats the agendas into the episode with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and Courtney Bugler = Hot Mess... so that's the reason for the "mess" part of the agenda-driven mess.

Listening to Kendall's dialog by Bugler from Beall's breakdown = agenda driven. The way the two ladies wrote Kendall basically saying that what Josh is doing totally equals what Zach did for Kendall and Spike last year... my GAWD! A knee to my groin would've been less obvious. There was no room for anybody to have an opinion. It was pretty much demanded of us on what to think about Josh and Babe and this Fake Death storyline. We're not supposed to view it as cruel and harsh on the few people who liked/loved Babe. Nooooo... it's supposed to be romantic and a symbol of Josh's true love because he's protecting her from JR since you're supposed to think JR is evil.

Jonathan was used today to push the Ryan/Annie agenda. Beall and Bugler had Jonathan say about 30 times how much sense Annie and Ryan make as a couple. Again, allowing you not to form your own opinion. Forget that. Ryan and Annie make sense and that's all there is to it.

Also, what pissed me off is the fact that the show even incorporate that picture of Babe and Bianca with their babies in Llanview as something reminiscent of a "simpler time." Sorry, but I don't buy that. Now, all of a sudden, we're supposed to think Bianca looks back on the time when Babe was parading Miranda around right under her nose, all the while convincing Bianca she was dead, was a simpler time? When that picture was taken, Babe knew for a while that Bess was Miranda and Ace was Little Adam and intentionally took that picture for that very reason. So whenever I see that picture, I don't feel nostalgic -- I feel that burning sensation in the pit of my stomach because I remember all too well what was actually going on that day. The picture they should've used for that scene should be the picture they took at the baby shower when they were both pregnant as well as legitimate friends. THAT was the simpler time. No babyswitches, no dead baby lies, no kidnapping... Just the two of them pregnant.

Bad move on the director/producers/writers' part.

But anyway, Beall seems to love Babe, which is why I don't trust her writing. You'd have to wonder why McTavish lets this woman write so much, and why she let's Beall write entire "special" episodes.

I'm verrrry suspicious....

[Darn]

I think you answered your own question.

[Q Steph]

I thought it was just me who thought Kathy was horrible.

[R Sinclair]

I think you're right.

[Cheap21]

when she hugged Tad and said that line about him being her daddy, I rewound my tape a few times and still couldnt make out what her line was. I had to read it on here to finally get it

[jenna14]

That was a badly written episode. JR is evul, Babe is love, Bianca and Babe are BFF, Josh and Babe are somehow Zach and Kendall in May. Bwahahahahahah. Good luck with that. Am I the only one seeing the JR/Babe redux on the way? Babe's montage right before she "died" did not hold a single Josh shot and had a bunch of JR/Babe moments, JR wants Babe alive and tells everyone how much he loved her and it seems like spoilers seem to indicate that Krystal and Zoe may both see JR in a new light. I think they know that Josh/Babe went over like a lead balloon. Not that JR/Babe is much better but at least they have chemistry and JY while not the greatest actor is miles and miles ahead of CE. Doesn't really matter anyways since they are both ffwd material but if I have to take an educated guess I'm guessing JR/Babe.....again....round 6785.

Wasn't that the picture Babe gave Bianca when Bianca told Babe she was so depressed that she could not even get out of bed? All it made me do was that Babe would die in the most painful way possible. We remember that picture, we remember the less than human actions Babe proceeded with for months so don't try to tell me that Bianca is longingly looking at that picture without being reminded as to why she had that picture in her hands. I hate Babe more today than I did yesterday because they brought out that picture.

Was I the only one who found Jonathan and Annie a bit creepy and weird? It really doesn't matter who is used to prop up and make Ryan and Annie interesting because they just aren't interesting and yet somehow they are still about 1000 times better than Babe/Josh.

Amanda Beall obviously believes her own hype, it's just too bad I don't believe it.

Does anyone remember that Dixie died? Anyone?

[R Sinclair]

You're my baby girl, jenna, so everything you said is 100% right on in my opinion.

But your mentioning Dixie made me remember in this Bugler penned script that Tad tells Joe he's worried about JR -- AND JOE ACTUALLY SAYS HE'S MORE WORRIED ABOUT KRYSTAL AND HER BABY?!?! Why the HELL would Joe even say something like that? What connection does Joe have to Krystal, aside from being the grandfather of the young man who almost went to prison for kidnapping charges thanks to her and her daughter? That just made no sense for Joe to say something like that to Tad on so many levels.

[Skin]

I think Joe is worried about Krystal because he knows Babe isn't really dead and he is worried Krystal may miscarry or something may be wrong with the baby. It was a hint to show that Joe knew as well IMO.

[Cheap21]

IA. Theres NO way all of these guys could have gone through with their plan without at least one doctor on staff knowing. I figured it would be Jeff but maybe its both him and Joe. I dont care for Krystal, but I think its cruel what they are doing to her considering she is pregnant and this stress could cause her to miscarry. She's a woman over 40 and that makes her high risk automatically. Its only natural for Joe as a doctor to question her state, especially if he does know that the drama she is going through is unnecesary

[R Sinclair]

Regardless, it was extremely tacky for him to say that.

[jackericafan]

That and the Jack/Bianca moment (I love those two together) was the only things worth watching. I FF the rest. I can only take just so much of St. Babe per week

[jenna14]

That Joe, such a prince. Too bad he wasn't worried about Bianca and Kendall's state of mind after Miranda died and he sat on the Mimo is Bess information. I guess he may be mesmerized by the skank stench emanating from the Carey whores.

RSinclair, I always agree with your posts and I now pay attention to who writes the show everyday.

[tina m]

I didn't expect Kendall and Zach to know that Babe was alive.

Colby is getting annoying, I'm sorry. She hates Babe/Krystal, well hated. Why is she so nice now?

That was really cute when Kathy said Tad was her "new daddy" aww!!!!

Del was cracking me up. Oh man lol

Nobody responded to my Ryan rant
