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:

    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
    • It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.      
    • I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).
    • I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.     
    • I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
