Literally, I timed it ;). The Tad/Dixie/Adam/Jesse/Angie/Robert stuff was 72% of the show from Wednesday on. The reveal 22%. JR/Babe 6%.

But it makes sense to me, there's usually more discussion about the stuff that sucks on many levels because it sucks on many levels. The things that are good, you have a consensus on.

In character or not, it was Blah, but IMO that's the way it was meant to be after the past year of story - it was meant to be "lets get this bull-s**t out and done with already." Greenlee has a right to be mad but on the other hand she never shows an ounce of growth or self-awareness which is predictable and IMO boring. Kendall/Zach are like brainwashed pods with Greenlee and it doesn't do much for their characters. A/G, Z/G, K/G = Not one relationship I give a damn about, I'd be pleased if they all broke up. Additionally this group should have left the hotel/casino for the reveal, because the contrast in relevance is more than a little strartling. Hopefully fundamental, since it'll never be complete, story seperation is in the cards for K, G in the not too distant future.

I'm a little critical of this episode after watching, even the good stuff.

Robert got the diamond so why run around the hotel shooting people? Why run around the hotel period? Why not just take the elevator to the roof, or take the stairs on the floor you were already on to the roof? Oh, because Kathy's 4th parent had to be gravely injured. I'd be scared to be that kids parent, lol.

How could Adam have prevented this situation? Am I suppose to believe Tad/Julia's s**t is Adam's faults? If so, pfft. If not, then why write Dixie to be singing that "only you can prevent forest fires" song to Adam?

Tad's gunshot didn't do much for me because it looked like an arm wound, maybe it'll play more dramatic on Tuesday - went through his arm into his chest.

I think Jake has chemistry with Ghost Dixie as well as Julia, but like Julia - she's a goner. There's something hot about her whispering in his ear and him being profoundly effected and not knowing why.

That ending was good though with Jesse jumping for the helicopter. No, Jessssseeee, don't fall! That and Adam and his Kathy hugs, mucho love.

I was already for today's episode.

All amped up...Like "[!@#$%^&*] yea!"...then I remembered today was reruns.

Now I'm all like "[!@#$%^&*]!"

And it has been FOREVER since I've been excited to see AMC.

Angela great post ;)

Yeah the reveal was just blah, don't care about Greenbitch's pain, IMO she deserves that and more(like maybe her spleen cut out and to lose her hearing the way Spike lost both)

So no one thought to call Zach the guy who owns the casino that Robert had hostages? :blink:

More contrived BS

    • Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They especially Martin will come around quicker to her before others like the Dupree women will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.
    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!!
