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

    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe it'll take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
    • Yeah, he's a mobster with Vanessa while his wife cozies up to mobsters as the worst mayor in America. 
    • He's too busy in Maryland with a younger blonde woman.

    • The rumor Zimmer writes about sounds like something Paul Rauch would have told Zimmer about Jacqueline Courtney as a way to discredit Courtney as Rauch loved to do that sort of thing. Zimmer probably just retroactively fit it into her story. Zimmer does not have good sense of time in her memoir. Who knows?!!? Zimmer strikes me as someone who always has to be competing with women.  Zimmer and 1986: If I had no context and someone told me that someone in the 1986 scenes would win four Emmys, I would immediately pick Denniston. Granted, I've only watched about a week's worth, but my word, Zimmer just fades into the background even when she's the main player in the storyline. There's no life in her performances. It feels that Zimmer is unhappy and that she's letting it impact her acting.
