Yes... and please, leave that slutty ass hooker out of the scenes!

Wow! Considering you annoy rather easily, that's legendary praise!

Babes, hate to break it to you, but when the Chief of Police lets people off for punching police officers unconscious with nothing but a stern warning about being "stuck on stupid," that ain't never gonna happen.

The funny thing is, I didn't realize it was a fantasy because Rylee is... Just. That. Cheesy.

So when Ryan hoisted Greenlee up onto the bar and starting slobbing her down and all the people in the bar didn't even bat an eyelash and just continued on with their conversations, I was like... "seriously?" :unsure:

I enjoyed Brot and Taylor. The actor who plays Brot is quite good. I also enjoyed all the scenes between Bianca and Reese. This was some of the best scenes to date between them on AMC. I hope to see more of these real type of scenes between Bianca and Reese.

Great episode - much better than anything last week. Kate Hall continues to rock it.

The Brot/Taylor scenes were heartbreaking, and for the first time since Taylor hugged Brot's uniform and danced alone to the music and candlelight months ago, did I truly believe she loves him. Wonderful script in those scenes where he describes the pain and torture. JR Martinez did a great job.

The Bianca/Dad and Bianca/Reese scenes were also perfectly written and acted. I totally understand where each woman is coming from, and as a viewer, I hurt for the both of them.

Finally - Frankie's shirt is off!!! I loved how they edited the sex scenes with the heartbeat-ish music and black cutaways to a new position. Hot! Too bad Randi is wooden as hell.

Amanda/JR/Jake/Ryan/Greenlee were a pretty good filler crowd today.

I'm starting to miss me some Erica, Adam, Colby, and Petey though. They all haven't been on in quite awhile.

Reese's explanation was so on point. I understood it exactly. Her engagment to Simon wasn't Reese -- it was her parents. Once she freed herself from that and became secure in her orientation, she didn't identify with that part of her life anymore. It wasn't real to her. THAT part of her life was a lie. It was what drove her to be honest about her orientation. I also understood Reese's reticence to tell Bianca, because of all the push and pull Bianca's dealt with ONSCREEN over the last eight years with women and their "I'm lesbian today, but straight tomorrow" bull$hit. Laura Kirk English, Frankie and Maggie Stone anyone?

I do understand, yet don't agree with, Bianca's decision to go see Reese's father. I loved how Bianca asked questions and didn't preach. She knew that there was something else beneath the surface. Like I said, I understand Bianca's determination to get to the bottom of this homophobia, deal with it, and work it out -- but, yikes! You can't bitch about trust and "big secrets" when you don't practice what you preach.

I think Bianca also needs to understand that hers and Reese's experiences are different. Bianca's out and proud, but also, Bianca came out when she was 16. She's had close to ten years to come to grips with Erica, her sexual orientation, heartache and rejection from friends and crushes... Reese just came out. I respect Bianca's passion but question her judgment. She told Reese that it wasn't always this way, but I don't think Bianca's really in touch with the fact that, she's right. It wasn't always this way.

I enjoy the fact that this is taking a very honest look at these relationship issues. It's not just "boy meets boy or girl meets girl and they live a happy gay life totally on the same page forever!" It's a lot of issues between partners regarding sexual orientation, disclosure, family, professions, where while someone may be truthful and honest about how they feel, there are still other aspects to their entire life that might not accept them and they have to be discreet -- while the other partner is out and open and wearing rainbow shirts and bumper stickers everywhere they go.

Too bad the bitch was involved at all! :angry:

That sums up my thoughts on the episode exactly. I loved all the scenes of friends talking (Frankie/Taylor, Jake/Greenlee, even Natalia/Randi) and the intense, perfectly written Brot/Taylor, Bianca/Reese and Bianca/Reese's dad scenes. It was much better than any day last week.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
