Members bandbfan Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm hoping for a big confrontation with Felicia and Donna since Owen spilled the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 24, 2008 Administrator Share Posted July 24, 2008 These past couple of episodes have been better because it's focused on business. I was surprised Owen told Donna about his deal with Felicia.....but I'm suspecting he's still working for Felicia and this is his way of getting Donna to "trust him." I don't like the new editing style. First the quick-cuts across Los Angeles, then today we had the camera pan with quick flashes to the next scene (okay, that's a bad description, but it was early on when it was from Ridge to Donna....or was it Donna to Ridge....can't remember). Then at the end of the episode we had the Port-Charles style of quick-cut-to-black. Please go back to the traditional ways, B&B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Im hating the shots of LA and cheesy music that they play at the beginning of the show and in between scenes. It was good at first but they use them WAY too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baller Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 My thought exactly...they've used it a ton more recently. At the start it was worked in nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 At 1:30 my television set comes off. B&B is almost as bad as GH with its cluster fu.ck self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Queen Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I am enjoying Brandon Beemer as Owen. With Kay Alden there, hopefully something proper can be done with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cubsgirl Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 There is still something more to his story. I don't know if he is still working for Felicia but there is some agenda he has and I am just dying to figure out what it is. It has been nice on the show the last couple of days have been Nick/Kate/Bridget triangle light. Sure haven't missed that trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicknack Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yep the "business" focus on B&B was just as boring as I expected. Whenever B&B tries it it's a huge yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Evan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm enjoying Brandon Beemer's Owen too, I hope they keep him in the cast! Funnily enough, I don't mind Brooke/Ridge that much either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I totally disagree. I love it. And as Jana Hawkes would say: Ridge has bad karma. Considering Eric DID NOT sign the papers, Forrester stock has NOT been distributed amongst family, I guess his proxy will go to Donna. Eric's spoiled brats will go nuts - can't wait to see it. Don't spoil me though, I've just seen Monday so far... The Forrester business drama is so much better than the ugly hell we've been through those last two months. Every single with either Nick (except when Hope is around), Katie and Bridget (not Eric related) still stinks to heaven but overall, I'm as pleased with the show as I haven't been in quite a while. There is still LOADS of room for improvement but the general premise is there. As for the new look: Finally there are new shots of L.A.! University hopsital got more exteriors shots, there was a close-up at FC we didn't have so far and I guess with an upcoming Malibu beach location shoot we'll get new shots as well from that. The corny music is ok, although I miss old-school intro but the wild and crazy editing is way too much. I think we all get hip: B&B is just SO hip - can we now please move on and tone it down a bit?

Administrator Toups Posted July 25, 2008 Administrator Share Posted July 25, 2008 Word. Today's episode was good with the exception of the Nick/Katie stuff. Donna fired Ridge, Thorne and Felicia!! This business storyline and Marcus/Steffy is making B&B enjoyable again. I gotta gripe about the ending again.....please stop the cut-to-black.....it totally ruined the ending. It should've been cut to Thorne, cut to Felicia, cut to Ridge, cut to Brooke for reaction shots then cut to Donna then fade to black on Donna.

Members bandbfan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Liked the big fight between everybody today. I wish Felicia had let Donna or Owen have it more than she did. Almost felt like LK was being held back by what she had to say. I was a little surprised Thorne was outspoken and negative towards Donna since the point was to try to get her to like them all. Now I guess we have to wait for Eric to wake up before anything gets resolved. And the whole time Owen was there, I was wondering WHY he was there. I understand that Donna had him there to expose Felicia. But he's not family at all and is brand new to LA. I would've thought Ridge or Thorne wouldn've been like why the F are you here?

Members crc Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 THAT WITCH!!!! LOL! Today's episode was pretty good. Donna was such a witch and I actually liked it: Donna: "Look to Eric's son, Rick Forrester, head of our international division, to take on more responsibility . He and his export/import team will be working with my son, Marcus, who will be supervising shipping and receiving." Female Reporter: "Won't Thorne be resuming his former position as President?" Donna: "Thorne and Felicia have been devastated by their father's illness ... and will be stepping down." Jarod: "Then Ridge will be filling in as CEO and President?" Donna: "Ridge will be leaving the company as well. I will be running Forrester Creations!" BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 if only someone who could somewhat act was playing donna... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I know exactly what you mean, but I have hope. She really nailed it as the evil Grace Turner on Y&R. It sounds like this next iteration of Donna is nasty and in control. I KNOW Gareis can play that! So, we may be seeing a story that plays more to her strengths (rather than bimbo being buffeted by romantic travails). This really could be an improvement. And here is why I love/hate B&B :-). Because last week or maybe two weeks ago I was ready to permanently cancel it. But if Ridge and the Forrester Kids are getting canned, I am SO back! In the long run, as I wrote in a DOOL thread a bit back, variability is a bad thing...it makes you hate a show that is not consistent. But, in the short term, if B&B can get some campy corporate stuff going again...we're in for a good few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
