OLTL: Discussion for the week June 2-6


Recommended Posts

When you are only pretending to pee, someone always comes along and asks if you're there only "to look"

Perhaps that should have happened. My issue is, HE DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS! (meanwhile Antonio spent the whole scene being hygienic)

I'd love to see someone like Carlotta or better yet, Roxy say, "Hey Johnny, wash them hands. We don't know where they've been."

Nice to see them open with another David Gray song--I say another because I still remember the death of Al Holden done to, I think David Gray's classic This Year's Love.

Yeah the show was amazing. I do kinda hate the typical alcoholic storyline though of "no oen will believe he didn't really drink" and I hope it's not played out too long, it just seems tired to me.

I'm a bti worried how logn they can kepep this up--when the action has to cool for a while I hope peopel don't find it too slow when ti seems we've been playing at such a high speed for so long

Oh and I dunno why but I hated the bathroom scene (it's nice to see the real OLTL staff men's room though which I assume this was shot in :P ) I dunno why, usually stuff liek that doesn't but me--but it did feel kinda gratuitous especially John badly miming peeing :P

Oh and did I say I still hate the titles? i do. Why quote a brilliant Bergman film, Through a Glass Darkly when it only is even KINDA SORTA clever (I assume it refers to Nash falling through the glass?)

Not that I would ever evaluate anyone this way, or that I've had that kind of experience, *ahem*, or that anyone can tell from behind *snicker*, but, from what I have heard, John McBain pees like a man with a...

Let's just say it won't be enough for Blair.

Yeah, the titles are kind of lame. But no one else is doing them so it works for me that way. Put it this way, if I were writing that show and had to live with that bon-tempi organ theme bass with the piss-poor visuals every day, I'd look for something to distinguish my show.

totally--I love how the theme sounds liek it was played on my 1984 casio.

But yeah... I get that they're trying somethign new with the titles--I get it. But umm. Why? And why are they all really bad puns (one I found really off putting was the Uncle-cest is the Best :S ) for a serious show?

If it's any consolation, as far as the episode titles go, back when I still had digital cable, the onscreen guide would give titles to Y&R episodes. They were generic, "I Love Lucy"-esque titles, though, like "Victor and Jack Argue" and "Phyllis and Nick Make Love Passionately."

I was just watching Youtube clips of the classic "Trading Places" episode from a few years back and I love how it still cracks me up.

Especially when Rae told Viki that in her dream she was in the oddest place, to which Viki asked "Port Charles?" :lol:

But the best part was when the OLTL (1995-2004) theme began to play softly as Rae said "There's no place like Llanview." And Viki smiled and said "That's right, there's no place like Llanview." :)

I also watched a clip of when Dorian imagined that she had went to Hell and that Carlo Hesser was her guide. Carlo asked Dorian if she wanted any water. Dorian took a drink and said "Tap....this really is Hell." :lol:
