GL: Week of February 4


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I'm sitting here and I'm thinking Kreizman has lost another part of his mind. Marina and MALLET?

I've defended DK for parts of the GL story (Will, etc.), but honestly -- is he standing in a bar throwing darts at a dartboard and saying "Hmmm. Reva and Jeffrey... hmmm... Olivia and Gus... no, wait, Olivia and Bill... hmmm... Ava and Josh... uhhhhh... Reva and Gus..."

Why must DK pair Marina up with men that are considerably older than her? She's been with Danny, Cyrus, and now Mallet!! And Frank, who has always been very overprotective of her all lets her date these men! Marina is old enough to be on her own, but it surprises me that Frank doesn't interfere with these stupid pairings. GL just doesn't make sense.

Here's the problem: GL's cast is small, and due to a whole host of factors, potential for romances is extremely limited. Thus, you have couples which plain don't make sense.

One, I think they've been testing Marina and Mallet for a while. Two, I think it's convienent, giving Dinah a reason to be jealous. (Boy, poor Frank would have a coronary, wouldn't he?)

Why, OH WHY, are they ruining Bill with that continual f*cking of Ava?

Am I the only one who finds the sudden all-out love of Jonathan weird?? I must have missed the day Jon became some sort of Saint. I guess I understand Billy's support of Reva's son. But Cassie about face, openly embracing the man who tricked her into thinking they'd slept together (yeah, he married her dead daughter....blah blah...) just confounds me. Lizzie only gets two days to be righteously furious at him? WTF???

The less said about Harley/Cyrus the better.

P.J. I agree Saint Jon is sickening to watch on the show.

Yes! Yes! DK is very much pulling these couplings out of his ass, or perhaps he's holding a lottery or something. I can think back to early 2003 and honestly say that I never would have imagined the show pairing Marina with Mallet, Harley with a criminal, Gus choosing some former love over Harley, or Josh with Cassie at the time. All these pairings seem so out of left field to me. Oh and does anyone simply fall in love anymore on this show. It seems to me that most of these pairings started as a fling or one time thing and then grew, supposedly, into more.

I'm enjoying the return too. I liked Cassie's reaction - she feels a stronger link to Tammy through someone that Tammy dearly loved and I love that she was so happy that Reva didn't go through the grief of losing a child.

I could do without Marina and Mallet and Ava and Bill. Blech.

I'm looking forward to the next episode. I really want to see where they go with Jonathan and Sara and Lizzie.

Oh, and lets not forget this wonderful fact too, Sungrey......

Marina is Mallet's God Daughter, now ain't that something?

Did anyone watch the Jeffrey/Doris office scenes today? In the office? And we're supposed to be all hyped-up about 2.28.08? If anything, I'm scared!

And another one completely destroyed....Harley. Up until now I thought Josh was the biggest victim of EW and DK but no more. Goodbye Harley. :(

And on yesterday's show, when Reva, Bill, Billy, Josh and Jeffrey were trying to convince Jonathan and Lizzie to stay - telling them that they had family and they were going to help - well where were they when Jonathan and Tammy needed them to fight Alan the first time around? Before Tammy died! :angry:

And those scenes were not only badly written and ridiculous but so badly acted. TP is definitely not into Jonathan this time around. RN, KZ, MR and DC were just awful!!

This show is such a mess. DK and EW need to GO!!

I am a lapsed viewer recently getting reacqauinted with GL and I must say I don't think the show is that terrible. I think Cyrus & Harley are hot. I never liked Harley but now I find her bearable. I also like Bill & Lizzie. Maybe because I haven't watched regularly in years I don't mind them. I am looking foward to 2*29*08.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.  
    • https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1919575319146856657  
    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.
