Am I the only who thought Krystal's praying was a bit much? If I'm in the middle of a tornado with my grown child bleeding out in front of me and surrounded by (way too many) other children and the sound of an emergency siren is tearing through the air, my prayer would pretty much consist of "Lord, help us!" and "HOLD ON TO YOUR ASS!"

============================================

I didn't have a problem with her praying. I would be doing the same thing. She wants the children and everyone to be safe.

Good ep but I was a bit disappointed. I think I wanted to know how the tornado was affecting the rest of the town already--wouldn't have minded Adam or someone worrying about Stuart, Erica worried about Myrtle, etc. That said I loved the Erica/Adam scenes, I found the Babe scenes actually quite well done and moving, and yeah the Greenlee stuff was ridiculous but good effects. Ugh I hated that Binks went into labour at the end. Isn't there enough going on? C an't we have some Bianca stuff before she's giving birth (which seems to be half of what her character does nowadays).

I loved the Adam/Erica scenes but I agree with Eric that Adam should have been more concerned for Stuart and Erica for Myrtle and her kids if they really thought they might die.

Amanda Baker's performance was possibly her best ever but it didn't bring tears to my eyes in this episode like Friday's did.

I agree with AlwaysAMC that Zach & Bianca's concern for Kendall dissipated suddenly after the ambulance left. Imo, the discussion of how she got pregnant could have waited for another episode.

I was also rooting for the tornado to just get rid of Ryan, Aiden & Greenlee. I hate how Ryan got to play hero once again!

Well, with news of

i had to start watching amc...

I liked it. The CGI was awful, IMHO, i eman much worse than GH's actually, but whatever. This is a soap, i can get over it...

I hope Babe is dead. babe sucks, awlays has and will. She is NOTHING without Alexa bringing her to life. AB did nothing for me but i loved J. Young & BE. I am simi intersted in this storyline with jesse. and I really love this Randi chick.

Aiden/Green/Ryan are uber boring, but i love me some becca Budig so that helped. I really dont care about either guy tho. And Annie? I love her. but soemthing just didnt work for me with her in this episode.

Erica & Adam :wub:

I would be so happy is kendull would die. I am really intersted in this Zach & Bianca storyline. I think its perhaps the most intersting, shocking, and dramatic storyline on any soap right now. But it depends on how it plays out.

However, where is Amanda during all this? And everyone else in Pine Valley? Tho ir eally dont care about Gus & Harley on PV so maybe im better off just with what we got.

Wow you can really tell you're a relative newbie to following AMC everyday ;) Just some... different opinions there :P

I agree with some of it--like where's everyone else--I guess we'll find out this week but i thought they coulda made the characters we saw Friday and then today more varried.

Yous ay you love the Zach/Binks storyline--yet you want Kendall to die? I'm just curious cuz while i'm not too hot on it so far, without Kendall there and her shock factor there's no real storyline to play out between them...

I actually think the CGI backgrounds and seascapes are pretty good--yea they're not 100% real but I don't mind them adding that kinda stagey soapy quality--they're better than I expected or then we got at the Wedding disaster last Spring.

Yeah as much as I don't wanna tlak about the Greenlee/Aiden/Ryan stuff it would be at the last more interesting if Ryan hadnt' saved Aiden in the end but if they both now owed Aiden for their lives... oh well

"I agree with AlwaysAMC that Zach & Bianca's concern for Kendall dissipated suddenly after the ambulance left. Imo, the discussion of how she got pregnant could have waited for another episode."

Right--I think this (and her going into labour--which I hope is fals--at the end) was the writers throwing a bit too much into the episode--we don't need to find out RIGHT away the day she comes back--let audiences wonder and wait, and appreciat esome good dramatic "man this is a scary storm" conversations

I use to watch amc all the time. from like.. 99-06.

I do love the drama of the Binx/Zach story, and yes i want Kendull to die. but i have for a few years now because i DISPISE her. However, i can pout my kendull hate aside for a good story and i do think this is a good story. the fact that

sure does help.

They are ok. I have just seen better, even on daytime. And for the big deal they amde out of it i thought they would be better.

Really? :lol: I have a problem with the whole idea of that hypocritical, golddigging, paternity-test-changing, baby-stealing shrew having a direct line to God.

Friday, we had Krystal's line about her guardian angel working overtime to make sure they were all ok. Albeit, this was before she discovered Babe sitting atop Little A with a beam on her back. But it rankled because KWAK is so blithely ignorant of the fact that she doesn't deserve them dear lil' angels watchin' over her. Yet, somehow, she and Babelicious truly believe that they are awesomely good and unselfish people.

It was the same with this prayer. Of course, every mother would be devastated and praying for any kind of miracle in these circumstances. But with KWAK and Babe, it never feels real, just feels like exposition to "remind" us how fabulous they are. Look at me! Ah'm prayin'! Prayin' for mah baby doll! Because we Carey women stick tuh-ge-THUH! Through tick an' thin! Doin' whatever it takes. Flat-ironing the french toast if need be!

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
