Oh....my....god.....

Freakin phenomenal episode. Alicia Minshew definitely has her Emmy reel right now. The girl reached deep within herself and brought her A-game. I am so glad the story is playing out the way that it is. It's a very balanced story, giving all the actors involved their chance to shine and I can say nothing but good things.

I rarely cry at things on the soaps (I can count on one hand the times that I have). Tearing up is different, I do that a lot. But today....wow.......go AMC!

OH MY GOD is right! :o

Alicia Minshew and the Directing Team just won their Emmys! Seriously, I haven't seen Alicia that good or convincing IMO. She brought it today.

The directing was amazing - and I was crying my eyes out when they brought in Spike just as Kendall was going to surgery - and they passed each other and in slow motion Kendall looked to her left and saw Spike go by...and she screams! OMG! That was heartbreaking! And the direction of that was what will win the Emmy.

I thought today was the most emotional, edge-of-your-seat, and perfectly flowing episode we've had in years! The transitions were amazing, the balance was perfect, and the acting was top notch by everyone. One transition I especially loved was when Ryan made the comment about how children are the parents' #1 priority no matter what the situation is - and then it goes to Jackson who is there for Greenlee when no one else would - and even though he knows she was taking Spike, he was there for her bc as a father he needed to be.

I felt so bad for everyone, no matter their actions. Erica! Jack! Adam (loved that he called to send flowers)! Josh! Ryan! Zach! Annie! Greenlee! Even Jonathan....Jeff had tears, so no complaints today.

Loved the show - and hope they keep on with the momentum!

Drop Zone Ryan

Yay they finally found Spike and it looks as if they did the smart thing and lifted him up into the helicopter and away from Ryan. Lord knows those bug eyes cannot come anywhere near Spike or else they would scare him and cause him to move about and possibly drop out of that hammock like structure and down into the drop zone. But what is even more amazing is the Dynamite Kiddo strength employed by Ryan to get down that 20 foot drop like he has abs of steel and a whack whack full of steel and yippee he just makes it down. But you would think him formally being a doctor (remember he pulled Greenlee out of her psychotic stupidor?) that he would know how to tend to Spike. What happened to his holiness' healing powers? Did they get lost like his brain did once he married Greenlee at a castle that harbors a four eyed octopus who smokes a bong full of M&Ms? Sheesh who knows what could have happened to Ryan's brain...maybe someone thought of it as spaghetti and had a nice meal with it and his only option is to buy one off of eBay. Hey it worked for Paris Hilton so what is to say it could not work for his holiness? But being that Ryan is too busy saving the world from the demented Dr. Davish whose powers include turning condoms into scrotum shaped lily pads and making them shoot evil darts full of the stupidity virus he just won't have any time to purchase his brain. A discount is in store. Two ho brains for the price of one ho...Ryan and Greenlee! Let the fun begin.

Can't wait to see what you thought Adam!

And Devoted...c'mon man...the Ryan rants are a little 'NOT NEEDED' right now while he's dealing with Spike. I mean please hate him all you want, but writing about how his eyes are going to make Spike drop from the helicopter and die? That's lame and no one wants to read it.

Let's face it Ryan's whole life is one woe is me story after another so the rants would always not be needed if I were to just rant when it is not woe is me. His entire life is one sob story after the next and he has no sympathy from me so I will continue hating him. As for Spike, well I'm just saying Ryan is dangerous around him with those bug eyes that it could cause him death...I'm looking out for Spike now :)

These aren't real people. Devoted's rants are just as needed or not needed as B&E needing to write about Greenlee driving over a cliff with a 13 month old.

I, personally, like the rants -- although Devoted has yet to make me howl as long and as loud as I did when Ryan and Annie went dancing into the psychedelic vagina at their wedding. :lol:

    • I agree.  How many times did we have to watch Bobby vs. J.R., or Blake vs. Alexis, knowing that nothing would change at the end, and that everything would go back to status quo, so that they could fight the same, exhausting battles all over again?  If nothing else, I give FC and KL credit for trying to keep things fresh, even if I think FC, in particular, went too far in the other direction and became unrecognizable even to the most diehard fans. Exactly.  Plus, because viewers were so burned out by the kind of serialized storytelling that was beginning to affect even half-hour comedies, I think MSW represented a nice change of pace.  You didn't have to watch every week, or watch from the beginning of each season, to know what was going on with Miss Fletcher.  Instead, you could watch a complete story in one episode, de-stress from whatever had happened in your own life last week, gear yourself up for the week ahead, and be okay.
    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me. ETA-I feel like the Bistro might just die and people will just pretend to order food there like Leo did today.  Sophia is on bed rest so no one works there anymore.  They can use that set for something else.
    • I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.
    •   Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense.
