I like the quick cuts to black, but I don't think it needs to be done with EVERY act. It works really well on some act tags. Not so much with others.

LOVING Viki/Jessica.

I'm going to give a REALLY unpopular opinion right now and say I'm starting to get a little tired of David/Addie/Dorian. It's a little TOO much camp for me, especially with the whole David-as-a-Buke issue. It's kinda hard to see him as a threat to ANYTHING now, especially since the Buchanans are all so wigged out by the news, when he's nothing but a joking puppy dog. I thought the addition of Blair last week gave it some much-needed gravitas, but the camp factor is starting to get to me.

On the other hand, this episode does need comedy with all the sturm und drang at Llanfair. So I do get it. I just hope David gets his edge back. I love him, don't get me wrong. But right now, I'm not sure why everyone's jumping through hoops not to tell him the truth, and why they're all so scared what he'll do when he finds out. What will he do? He'll take his share of the Buke money and run. Big deal. Nash died for THAT?! Besides, we've watched David play Lord of the Manor at La Boulaie, so him doing it at Asa's is pretty much just the same thing with the addition of Nigel.

I'm nitpicking, I know. Just wish I could buy the threat of David learning he's a Buke.

    • 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. 
    • I'm dreading going into the ninth season; I've got to be mentally ready for it.

       Does not help these seasons are damn near thirty episodes. Twenty-two should've been their cut-off.
    • True. I did enjoy the episodes surrounding Greg's faux death, too. @Liberty City Agreed, it started pretty slow, but once Jill falls off the cliff, I was more invested for some reason. Yes, I genuinely enjoyed the episodes surrounding Greg's fake death. I agree, it began quite slowly, but once Jill fell off the cliff, I became much more invested for some reason. I guess bc more of the cast was working together.  
    • Shouldn't Laura talk to Kevin first before agreeing to her brother Martin moving in with them? Her house is like a hotel for people she never sees -- like Lucky, who she's unaware of his latest departure as a man who runs away from everything. Meanwhile, Lucky is busy giving away his cabin to Isaiah, who we've barely seen him with.
    • With Sean Kanan as Carl Ivati.
    • These episodes have been delightful so far. I enjoyed everyone who stood at the podium today, as it reminded me of all the decades of history.
