Members dragonflies Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think it was Angela who said they should have had Julia go back into the WPP. That would have at least made more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 OK Overall I lvoed this and Friday's episode. Yeah you had to suspend disbelief a bit (lot?) and I'm not quite sure what I think of the CGI with the helicopter though it was better done than I expected... But overall I loved so much about these episodes... I'm a huge fan of Julia--in the 90s as a teen she was a fave of mine--and I was always annoyed with how little they used her. ANd while she has had nothign to do for ever since being back, I really well miss her and found her scenes really moving and sad. That said I think it made sense to kill her off--the Santos really have no ties to the show anymore... I wonder what will become of my beloved Wildwind. As much as I normally HATE ghost storylines on fairly 'realistic" soaps I have to admit this Dixie one has won me over--ironic that they write her well and with a purpose now when they enver were able to before. I also think that all this shows what B/E as headwriters are capable of - I have no idea why it took so long. Just really reallydepressing that now we know they've been fired and we have Pratt to look forward to (I hope the British soap writer who was hired as consultant very recently stays on as maybe he can give it some more family/smaller town balance) WHat here in Canada for some weird reason the episode OPENED with the AMC credits, -- what is this opening you're talking about... I'm trying to think of who I woulda rather seen Julia's scenes with--even Josh woulda been a much better fit for me--they had great chemistry and a good understanding of each other You know I disagree. I almost am happier to go out with some meaty material than with a whimper and just move away never to return (since the Santos are no more). This has been one fo the best death scenes on AMC in AGES--certainlybetter than what we got ironically for DIxie The sad thing abotu Julia was they ahd her mention creating a clinic at WIldwind and I thougth maybe Angie could work there and B/E were working on a setup much like Angie had with her clinic on The City but nothing came of that. What did bug me about Kendall/Ryan today was they mention Julia's dieing briefly and are worried but MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more worried and upset about Greenlee finding out about Aiden sleepign with Kendall. Just seemed odd balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Of course it was over the top. It's supposed to be over the top. That's why it's called action. It's over the top when they do it on Lost or Heroes or Grays or Alias or ER or any of the other millions of shows where some ordinary man has managed to hang on to a ledge or a rope by one hand in spite of the fact that he's never done so much as a sit up.

Members dragonflies Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I don't think this is them all that much. I really don't think they're capable of anything this good. They're too much about plot devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DevotedToAMC Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks Drew. I like Aidan/Greenlee and Zach/Kendall but no Zachlee or Aidall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 You never watched The City or B/E's stunning work on the LovingMurders did you? yes that was a long time ago but it' sbeyond ridiculous to not give them any credit for things that work--especially when we know how Frons works and dictates. Can someone explain what was the opening that the local Canadian affiliate here didn't show? The ep started with the credits here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 I loved the opening that way...it got me right into the episode. As a Y&R boy, dissatisfied with my show a bit, I am in love with AMC these days. There's Jesse and Angie! I remember them! GREG NELSON! With Opal! I remember those good days. Tad is front burner! Yee-haw. Julia. Dr. Joe. Jackson. I recognize this canvas! Ricky Paull...he's a favorite! But you know what really drew me in? You'll think me a "style over substance" guy, but I'm really not. I LOVED THAT CGI HELICOPTER. The filmlook (which they really seem to have gotten the hang of) and the CGI and the vets and the action (Jesse FLYING through the air!)...totally drew me in. I compare these production values...which are great...to GL (which disappoints me), and I think "Thank God AMC still shows signs of INVESTMENT". Between actors, creative leaders (Chuck Pratt ain't cheap), and even this CGI...this is a show that still seems like someone cares about it. Greg Nelson! What a joyous thing to behold. Frankie seems TERRIFIC, by the way. He is an actor with presence...worthy of his on-screen parents. ETA: Only Lee Merriweather is a false note here. Given Ruth's AMAZING history with the Gardner clan...Ray RAPED her...we should have seen her more front and center as the emotional core of this story. I guess Lee is still grey? It's hard to see her with that bad wig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yes but for some reason Victoria's A Channel didn't get it. We had the credits, no pre credits and then right into the story. What's this "3 pairs of lovers" stuff?? Lee is still normally grey but I thought hs edyed her hair--id' lvoe to see her more. (or the character more to be honest). They did give her one scene going on about the rape a few weeks ago but yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 Remember last Memorial Day (or was it the year before?) when they had like a 2-3 min. review/summary of the major storyline going on (Kendall's womb/Greenlee's egg/Ryan's sperm)? They did that again this year. They summarized what was going on right now, in case people just starting to watch for the summer can catch up. They showed the three main love storylines going on right now: Angie/Jesse (showed clips of them reuniting, Jesse being tortured, getting ready for wedding, Rob looking for the diamond, etc).....Zendall/Ailee (the ONS).....and Tad/Dixie/Kathy (Clips from all years...then Ghost Dixie/Adam...and Kathy/Tad). Then they went into the opening credits....then the real show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
