AMC: Monday Discussion (02/04)


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I was bored by most of today's show. I hate when they do single setting episodes. No feel of balance or anything and thank goodness that mircale cure worked so we can begin to move on. I was beginning to wonder if this was going to be CRASH Part II, especially since you know who is back credited as sole writers. Ok now that I've finished my rant, let me talk about what I did like.

Angie and Debbi Morgan continue to make this show watchable, for me at least. When her and Tad were talking again today and Angie told Tad about how she asks for Jesse's guidance and then broke down in his arms. Emmy reel stuff. I loved it.

I enjoyed Zach and Annie talking. I loved there last summer and in the fall they used to sometimes have one on one friendly discussions and I missed that because I think Melissa and Thorsten share a great rapport with one another. I am interested to see this Ryan amnesia thing play out....

And finally, at the end in the parking garage when Tad and Jesse finally did comes face to face, what a way to end the episode.... thank goodness. It feels as though finally the Jesse/Angie stuff will be separated from the Greenlee business.

IA...today was kind of boring, a lot of retread over the past two weeks. However, I am happy that the medical mystery is over.

Now...Tad and Jesse at the end gave me goosebumps, especially when Jesse called him Thaddeus.

Ryan...something about his amnesia storyline bugs me and I think it has to do with Ryan and his attitude towards Annie.

BE&JHB are back... so we can expect those type of episodes all the time. 21 out of 22 episodes this month will probably be like that. That's why AMC just can't get better. Can them already... I'd pay to see AMC deliver interesting stories. I don't want to see the returning characters with ruined storylines.

Blazing Ryan

He just comes a blazing towards Kendall and proclaims that he loves her! And you better believe he came equipped with those bug eyes and about ready to pontificate to her about him being her greatest love and so much more. But at least Ryan did remember to mention Leo on today's show since they seem to barely recall any of those fond memories with the former French dude. But take it to Ryan to just now think that, because he does not recall Annie, he is going to shrug her off. Hmm what happened to that Ryan who professes he loves everyone and wishes to help them out? Well it appears as if he is not helping Annie out by trying to get rid of her faster than a Dynamite Kiddo bullet. He does have that time, though, to profess to Greenlee that she will make it and has a lot of people in that hospital room who love her. What about Erica? Ahh Ryan's amnesia catches on some more! Erica and Greenlee never liked each other...at best, they tolerated one another when she married the good ole Jackson. Ryan is now forgetting a lot of his life but make no mistake about it he is forgetting some common attributes of friendships in HIGH HO Valley. But this could also be chalked up to pure stupidity on his part and nothing related to the amnesia. I just wonder what the moron is going to think of next....that he and Greenlee shared this love that is greater than Luke/Laura and one full of Dynamite Kiddo adventures with his precious sidekick, the Green Butterfly? You know they are headed towards him remembering the "Great love" he shared with Greenlee. Well slap my fanny and call me Manny! I could have sworn that they were not the greatest supercouple ever on AMC but now they are making me doubt myself. They each have their little superpowers. Ryan uses those bug eyes to suck people into submission and the Green Butterfly manages to whip out her Fart perfume and just sprinkle it in the air and that makes sure her enemies fall flat on their face and get squished into an orgasmic pinata shaped pancake. This is just another great quest for Ryan to embark on to recall all those fond memories of his that have gone to the trash. But Ryan can always be in the garbage since that way he would feel right at home. Oscar The Grouch is calling for you Super Ryan! So go get him you lousy flaming little gargantuan piggy ramus!

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
