Honey I Shrunk The Ryan

Ryan should really take up his wife's advice to go see a shrink because it certainly is in the making. I mean, anyone who raises their fist to someone, participates in a fight club, kidnaps someone to a plane to have his blood drawn, allows Fish n Chips to hang a noose around somebody, pontificates about crap he knows nothing about, is in dire need of some Dr. Phil intervention or to just see a regular psychiatrist. This guy loves to also manhandle women and thinks he is just HIGH HO to do anything he can but dare anyone else to do it and they get the bug eyed stare of their life. I would, however, feel very sorry for the shrink that has to deal with someone of the likes of Ryan. Odds are that doctor would end up in a psych ward himself for at least a month since he would be feeling suicidal over having to hear about Ryan's moaning and whining. Lord knows what else he has done in his life that needs some professional help since I am sure St. Ryan did some thing in his Con Ho days that make him a few fruit loops short of a cereal bowl. Add to making them really extreme crap and he is one Krispy Kreme short of a baker's dozen. Add to that he is missing his own sprinkles and not able to actually look somewhat sane. Insanity is something that runs high in the Lavery family and odds are Ryan has something wrong with him since mental disorders run in the family. Mom and dad had some issues themselves so maybe he got something passed down from his dearly beloved mother or father. Something tells me it is from the father whereas from the mother he got his superhero genes to go defeat villains like the One Armed Penis Envy or one called Mr. Flatulence who can knock out anyone with a whiff of a fart. Hey that is something Ryan can do! He has his superhero cape shoved up his Dynamite Kiddo butt that whipping it out (thankfully he is not whipping out "his other thing") would knock everyone dead over the smell. Superman can stop a bullet, Batman has his gadgets to stop the evil Penguin and Riddler and Joker and Catwoman, Spiderman slings with his web. What is Super Ryan Dynamite Kiddo's power? Whipping out his crack infested cape to knock down the competition! Talk about inventing a new perfume!

DAAAAMN -- Debbi Morgan was on fire during those chapel scenes, praying to Jesse to let Frankie live. :wub: I love her!

I'm pretty much enjoying everyone and everything on this show right now, except nuBabe and the JR/nuBabe/Ritchie triangle. I even like Ryan!

I loved Pam's straight weave today...she was looking good. I enjoyed the playful Erica/Pam/Val scenes :)

Balance has been so great lately.

I liked everything Angie/Jesse/Frankie.

But the other stuff was pretty blah.

What the hell was up with Erica saying "''I'm a talk show host, not an accountant!''?! This from the woman who built and saved Enchantment a hundred times over? Good job, writers -- make Erica Kane, a once shrewd businesswoman, into an airhead. Please get her away from this New Beginnings nonsense...... PLEASE!

It was a great episode, imo!

I also love the balance lately and how something happens in just about every episode. It's such a relief after months of the same characters saying the same thing every single day during the "Crash" storyline.

Leave it to Adam to give JR a bug and pretend it was an heirloom. I'm glad he knows that Krystal is behind JR moving back into the mansion and I can't wait to see what he does next.

I can't blame Richie for manipulating Emma into wanting to save his life. Annie & Ryan's resistance only makes me root for Richie all the more.

Ryan's scenes with Kendall almost made him seem human for a change; however, I hated most of the flashbacks because they reminded me of how bad Rylee were together.

Debbi Morgan gave another excellent performance. I especially was riveted when she was praying to Jesse for help.

Of course Erica wouldn't pay attention to all the minor details of her businesses; she's always been the creative force, not the accountant! It was great to see her take care of Jack and I liked how we got our first glimpse of the senator from his speech, although I had to wonder what country Pine Valley is set in where the current president would approve of a task force against the fat cats. It certainly isn't Dubya!

Exactly. Accounting is a whole different ballfield from running your own company and that is why you hire a CFO to look out for the finances. Of course, the CFO has his/her own staff working with the company as well

There is a reason why they have an exam to be an accountant....because it is something in and of itself. My mom actually used to work for a CPA firm and one of the partners there took the exam twice and failed...on the third try, he passed. Third time's the charm :)

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
