Members P.J. Posted August 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 I can't be the only one lovin' today.... Knock me over with a feather, but Richard Culliton wrote it, and it's some of the best dialogue in a long time. Both Noah/Luke and Carly/Jack have deep, meaningful conversations....I haven't been a real supporter of the Nuke story, but I thought that discussion really put Noah's "crisis" in perspective for me. And flovin' the Carjack talk. Carly called Jack on ALL of his defense mechanisms, and you could see the truth of it, as it cut through his bs. THAT is why they work. I'm so frickin' glad Carly's gonna let him come to her when he's ready. LOL....Katie is toast. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted August 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 I also liked Henry/V....I was afraid we was gettin' a Janet Jackson moment there, with V's low-cut blouse givin' us almost everything but nipps. LOL...I didn't think mayo and fries was an American thing? And forgot to mention, Susan and Ali's talk. LOL....OMG, today was the first time in a long time Carly finally made sense about her fling with Simon. It was insanity. Works for me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 I loved the episode today. Let me start off by saying I simple LOVE Vienna and Henry...I can't wait to see how Miss Vienna turns Al's into something only she can possible dream of. Loved the Noah and Luke scenes...Noah is at his best, to be honest, when he's in scenes with Luke; not Maddie. Luke called him out on his reasons for wanting to have Maddie by his side; that fear of his father rang loud and clear when his father was running his mouth about 'sex with a woman.' I could tell right there that something must have went down between the two of them in the past that has him doing whatever not to have to deal with his father's constant negativity and put downs about not being a real man. It was great to see Luke lay all out on the line about why Noah's doing what he's doing. In some ways it was a repeat of history for Luke, because he felt disapproval first hand by not only Lily but then also when Damien came back to Oakdale. I at first thought he would make mention of that to Noah, to get him to understand that he truly can see why Noah wants to please his father. I'm going to say it; I'm actually liking seeing Dusty and Lily more in scenes; and I can tell right now that in the weeks/months to come, Holden once again will be in the middle while Lily is caught in another situation, but this time, rather than it being Keith it will be Dusty. Now for CarJack....Jack might as well GIVE IT UP... he knows that Carly is on his mind...I bet when he looks in Katie's eyes, all he see's is Carly in his heart and in his mind. I loved when Jack said "It hurts when I lift my arms, can you please take my shirt off?" I just cracked up at the facial expression that Carly had for him. Carly may be exhausting, but at least Jack knows that Carly loves him whole-heartedly. Katie loves the fact that someone is giving her attention; someone that she can claims she snatched up from someone else. The more Jack talks, the more all his insecurities and doubts pour from his lips. Didn't he do this song and dance before with both Julia's...Tell Carly he was in love with them and that they couldn't be together? Oh, and PJ...didn't you just love those previews where Jack glared at both Meg and Craig and said "Come on in. We want to say 'thank-you'. The pure sarcasm from his lips made me cackle because I know that Craig and Meg are going to be mince meat when Carly faces them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted August 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 ^^^I'm gonna love me tomorrow!!!! I've been drooling with anticipation for Carly/Craig scenes, and with Jack there???? OMG...I'll frackin' be in heaven!!!! I'm sure Jack's sarcasm will be saved for Craig...but it wouldn't hurt Meggie to get some aimed her way too. OOOoooohhhh....I hope Carly gets vicious with Craig and gets to throw Rosanna in his face! *giggle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petunia Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well I LOVED todays show. All of it!! And that's saying something right there....lol. It's so funny that when Fluffy is eliminated from the Carjack storyline it just ROCKS! That was some great dialogue today between Jack and Carly. I loved it when she said I will wait for my 50 bucks...they are just awesome! Please let Fluffy stay gone for a while. Maybe some tropical storm could hit Hawaii? Felt for Allison today. But really like Dusty with Lilly. Probably because there's so much history between the two so their dialogue makes sense and we care about them. Liked the Luke and Noah stuff too. Was great to hear Noah trying to explain himself to Luke. This is going to be a great story I can tell already. Looking forward to tomorrow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 Great episode. I actually liked Vienna for the very first time in history today. Also loved Carly and Jack and Luke and Noah. How awesome was it that Susan was the one to approach Alison in the dark alley...it was a truly great episode.

Members WorldTurner Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I too loved today's show and thought it was one of the best in a long time! It definitely did my Carjack lovin' heart a lot of good! Those have to be some of the most fun scenes they have had in a long time! I too never thought Richard Culliton "got" Carjack but the dialog was excellent today! Outstanding scenes! I also really loved Dusty/Lily! She seems so much stronger around Dusty and I am really looking forward to wherever they go with this story. I was really happy to get a little better read on Noah today. I think that has really been lacking in this story and really enjoyed the Luke/Noah conversation today. I too wished Luke would bring up everything that happened with Lily/Damian and hope that will be discussed in future conversations. I enjoyed Henry/Vienna too, even if that was a lighter scene. The only time I found myself reaching for that remote was on the commercials and that was a true pleasure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I just hate how Noah is all of a sudden gay with conflicted emotions on 'choosing' to 'stay' straight. I know we've talked about this before - but it doesn't do the gay community any justice when you try to show a straight audience that you've always been straight and then randomly one day you kiss a guy and are all torn up about it. Doesn't work that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Noah's need for secrecy is becoming useless every time he gets Luke alone for a kiss or a major revelation about his personal life, AT WORK IN AN OFFICE WITH THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. Damn, James Stenbeck could have overheard him and blackmailed the kid to hell and back by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I too like Dusty and Lily's scenes! Remember when they got really close after Rose's death and Dusty saved Lily from drowning? Besides, all of Lily's non-Holden husbands all start with the letter D so Dusty may as well be next!

Members B_Redd Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 The Carjack scene's were definitely incredible... I've been enjoying their scene's immensely over the last several days, and this coming from someone that has not always been a Carjack fan. And as a friend of mine pointed out while watching today, just when did Jack get so hot? Am I the only one picking up on the foreshadowing going on with Cheri? You have Dusty, Susan, Ali, Lily all being primed for a classic who-dunnit. My hope... that if that is the route they go with this, they choose to make Elwood the culprit, because I really can't deal with his character much anymore (not so much at the fault of the actor, but it seems like the writers go out of their way to make him an obnoxious jerk.) I agree with SweetNyGirl about Noah being at his best when he's in scene's with Luke. Am I the only one who's skin begins to crawl as soon as Maddie enters the room... the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I understand where Luke is coming from by trying to be protective of his friend, but ultimately it is up to Noah to figure out who he is on his own. You can't force someone to deal with things they aren't ready to deal with. I've been consistently pleased this week... it's been the most solid week we've had in a while. Why do I fear that may all change as soon as Paul/Meg/Craig/Rosanna take center stage? For these being characters I once cared about a whole hell of a lot (or at least 3 out of 4 of them), now personally, I wouldn't mind if they all fell off a cliff in the Swiss Alps, and were never heard from again... or at least until November sweeps.

Members JenC Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I love it when Richard Culliton writes! The dialogue is always so much better. LOVED Henry and Vienna as usual, and cracked up at Vienna's reaction to the cheeseburger at the beginning. The scenes between Luke and Noah were brilliantly written, IMO, and they just felt so real and natural. This is one story JP damn well better not screw up. Carly and Jack had good scenes today too, with some classic CarJack dialogue...even though Jack's still an ass right now. Chris Goutman, if you have any brains left, fire Passanante, and promote Culliton to HW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
