Today's episode, on just one level, sort of reminded me of almost a week's worth of character's talking in their head on DAYS - when I use to watch. I don't know if they still do this, but when I watched DAYS characters would spend 20 minutes of an episode talking in their head on almost every episode.

Overall I'd give the episode a D (I feel generous). There were some moments where I didn't want to laugh at it or cry in horror or where I didn't have my mouth hanging open in shock. And their was some character insight. But that concept so didn't work - I'm thinking this was another brilliant JHC idea (like shaky-camera and such).

I could rank so much on the "I'm afraid" comments. So many good jokes. But I won't. ;)

Beall was the BDW. Kanelos was the SW.

The preview looks good. They are all waiting for the results.

Today like I said was good, no need for Jonathan too be there. He is so freakin annoying!! :angry: Also the only bad thing I had to say was that Greenlee was freakin whining. "spike was sipposed to be mine!" SHUT UP! :angry:

ETA: This should not have been on Friday. I think it should have been on Monday-Thursday! Not Friday!

Yes, but was it as riveting and intense as SabineLee knocking over bedpans -- which she, amazingly, seemed to overact as well? ;)

You'd better believe it! I just watched Wednesday's Beall-plotted episode and felt bad for Joanna Cohen having been attached to such a horrible outline. The dialog sucked, with Cohen trying to keep up with Beall's overused 'witty' exchanges, and wasn't able to do what she does best -- write soap opera. I didn't see Thursday's episode yet. And now today's episode, another Beall-riffic episode is getting so much "praise?!" :lol: ROTFLMAO! :lol:

THE AMANDA L. BEALL HATE COALITION REJOICES!

Mandy ain't the damn savior of All My Children, and under Brown and Esensten's guidance, she's even worse.

AMC needs to stop doing these special episodes. They seem more like a waste of time than anything

Zach blames this on Ryan for driving off a cliff? Are you kidding me? Okay I can get that but how about him and the blackout which ultiamtely set forth the chain of events which led to today. Zach is just as responsible as anyone

The biggest word. I am starting to hate Zach. I still haven't gotten over the fact that he started that whole blackout that killed embroys and dreams of many parents parenting children. I won't even bring up the fact that he killed potential babies. When he intentially went into that clinic and damaged that generator. I honestly don't understand how Zach's blackout is constantly over looked on this show. He did a major wrong and yet again it's swept under the rug because he's Zach.

No it can't be his fault. Let's blame it all on Ryan. What the hell ever.

Today's show was pretty meh for me. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Cameron Mathison's monologue was hilarious - his eyes bugged out even more than Judith Chapman's do on Y&R!!! He looked creepy. I wonder where they're going to go with Annie? That kinda has me excited. I loved the Mona mention, I was hoping for a flashback, but at least we got a mention.

Dark City Ryan

The lights are dimming down upon him and still you see the regular features of Ryan: the ape like chest, the bug eyes that will even scare a person making a sand v a g i n a castle and just about anything it can scare. Yep it looks like the world is crawling down upon Ryan and ready to corner him. Let's just hope Ryan does not suffer from claustrophobia but oh wait he cannot suffer from anything. This is Dynamite Kiddo after all but once those lights go out it will spell DOOM but Ryan being the dufus he is thinks that DOOM is spelled RYAN IS BRIGHT. Ahh wrong-o! Well he gets another one wrong just like he cannot spell RYAN IS A MORON since he hates to admit the truth. Well the truth is that the world is coming down and not letting Ryan escape just like he escaped to Canada to bother the Canucks drinking their beer after watching Debbie Does Ottawa with Ryan thinking she actually does do the city's features: the fire hydrant (that would be just to dogs only), the post office, the restaurant that serves p e n i s pie, the grocery store which gives Hos a discount every time they shop there (Ryan would be saving about a million dollars a year by being the biggest ho. The bigger the HO, the more you save. God bless Canada). While the places get dark around Ryan, we just wonder what he could have done to actually lead to a darkening atmosphere. Maybe not mastering the alphabet did the trick or by entering the fight club and losing his ear, his boxers, his millimeter sized hair

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
