[P.J.]

I friggin' hate when they film in the dark, and I can't see a damned thing. I knew Rosanna would show up at the cemetary, but I was wondering why we were focused on this black space, until I realized it was Rosanna, taking a minute to dramatically turning her head. *groan* Otherwise, I thought Paul and Meg's talk was so much bullshit...Paul knew Meggie was servicing Craig when they slept together.

Today was the first time in forever the action didn't revolve around Carly. I'm not sure I approve.... But it was nice to have her focused on something other than her lying.

Katie and Brad...."zany" Katie is slowly reemerging...hallelujah, it's just one step further away from Jack.

SOMEONE stole Emma's stove!!! It's no longer by the upstairs door.

And NEITHER Noah or Luke was wearing stripes today...surely this is the first sign of the apocolypse.

ETA: It would have been nice if Katie objected to the cemetary hijinks because SHE had stumbled on Bryant's grave. He WAS her nephew too.

Today's show was ok. I thought yesterday's show was better.

You're right, someone did steal Emma's stove!! Another budget cut? I hope it finds it's way back, it really added to the charm of that kitchen.

How is it that Roseanna had no idea where Paul went, but seemed to run right for the cemetary. Same with Jack looking for Roseanna. Did he think he would find his 6 pack there? Everyone just makes a run for the cemetary while a wedding should be taking place?

Dusy just seems to always be there for Lily. Do you think that will be rekindled?

OK show today. Could have been worse I suppose.

I'm a bit more concerned about Emma herself than the stove. Has she ever had a heart to heart talk with Luke since his love life imploded? I guess her appearance is only necessary to prop the front burner plot about Meg's reinstated fertility. The sematary, like the Lakeview lounge before it, is yet another convenient location for characters lives to fall apart at. I guess it was Passanante's way of being topical, as it was Halloween and all. And how ridiculous for Bryant's grave to have immense significance for Meg and none for Katie. It was certainly no improvement over the previous episode. It's astounding how one day exemplifies the possibilities for good ensemble writing, and the next one showcases lowest common denominator laziness.
