Why do these people make it so hard to watch this show??? As much as I love watching, I barely keep up with it as it is because I loathe having to click through dozens and dozens of episodes to find where I left off every single time I want to watch. Now that they’ve added ads, it plays fine through the first ad and then the first chunk of show you get, then it’s buffer city immediately after the second ad. It makes it very hard to tune in for 2-3 episodes a day if that’s how you want to watch it.

I gave up because it's so hard to watch now. I wish at this point they'd just sell it to Prime or Tubi and let them upload it to their platform. They've tried but clearly can't develop a platform that is watchable. I had hope when I saw they had that live channel on Pluto. Hopefully something will come this year. I still remember where I left off and I'd love to finish the available episodes, but I'm not stressing myself out with their system.

If you guys are talking about their free site that hosts all the episodes... the only way I have ever managed to watch is when I have a browser with ad-blocker on. In my case it's Chrome with the free Ublock ad-blocker that is in the Chrome library. It eliminates all ads and the video plays just fine. I just checked again and it works like a charm. I hope I have helped.

OK. What was everyone's take on Kim Zimmer as Nola? I am asking b/c I just watched an episode from '82, and I just never understood the Billy/Nola tryst. Just reading about it seemed icky as Nola was not only with Jason, but was his aunt when he was a teenager. I am just curious to hear from those who watched in real time. I also find KZ's Nola drastically different from the others--very vampish compared to clips of the other Nolas, who were either a social climber who was ambitious OR very calculating.

Kim zimmer's take on Nola seemed to fuse some of the qualities of the two previous Nolas.

Her Nola in 1979 was kind of carefree, but I watched a few 1981 episodes and her take on Nola was different.  She had a more regal sounding voice and seemed more confident/sure of herself.

I actually liked all three actresses in the role.

I still hate that the Pollocks killed off Dan Allison.  They could've written a really fascinating redemption arc for him once he lost Carolee for good.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
