Members Steve Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 You both said everything I was thinking today. I loved the whole episode and you both articulated exactly why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alexisfan07 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I don't think Brianne's gotten worse, she's just very inconsistent. She's had days where I believed her and days like today that I didn't at all. I think she lets her personal life distract her instead of bringing it into the role as things to draw on. I do agree, she is the weakest link right now. Even behind Randi, who has improved, and Brot, who is a non-actor. REALLY enjoyed all the revelations. Wish every day was like this. And FRIGGIN A, change the f'in opening! I can't stand to see Babe and Dre one more day! And for some reason, I think it's actually offensive to leave Myrtle in there for so long after her passing.

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I just had to say it. I never got everyone's utmost fascination and obsession about the opening credits, and it stuns me when it's updated and everyone gets so ballistic and excited. It's an opening full of pictures. Personally, I FF it everyday and I don't have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well, I want to go into graphic art of some kind, so that's why it interests me. And I like seeing what the characters look like in them, what poses they use. The placement of characters also usually informs us of where the storylines are headed long-term. It's also of note because it annoys people that the show can't keep it more up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I agree. I've always been hung up on them for the exact reasons you mention, especially the poses And I love the themes to the soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Whoa, this episode moved WAY WAY too fast. The Bianca/Reese/Zach storyline had a beginning, middle, and an end all in one episode. It was way too quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Agreed. She's the weak link but she has actually given a few good performances--she just is not consistant and doesn't seem to be consistantly trying ther way Brot and even Randi seem to so it can be frustrating to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Eh... I wasn't impressed. Thank you. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I thought that too. Pratt likes to move things along at a pretty fair clip and as I've said before IMO he often sacrifices depth in order to do that. But this one felt like they we trying to squeeze everything in before the Con Edison cut the power. I would have ended the episode with Binks reading Reese's note and moved the reunion to another day to give it a little build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsmith2k2 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 It did seem too fast for the build up. Nothing was resolved but forgiveness asked and received. We'll have to see if it holds for Bianca. BTW, Zach it's hard to convince a pissed off jealous woman that you're not *too* close to her gf when you won't take your hands off said woman during your explanations. Reese, welcome to loving a Kane Woman and you'll be proving yourself from here on out probably. That stuff with Tad, Krystal and David was 30 kinds of awesome. Nice return MEK. Loved David's reaction to being out maneuvered by Tad (though I never thought I'd see it). Well played. The JR and Amanda stuff is starting to blur for me. I want to like Colby and Petey and I did, but I am ready for Petey to move on. I like Colby's character, in how she is so concerned about her brother and nephew, how she's connecting with Adam. The actress is losing me and I've been open to her in the role. I felt like the timing of scenes was clunky and awkward. Bianca (high on pain meds supposedly) got back to Casa Slater moments after Zach did somehow. Also who shouldn't be driving...JR sent out by Tad. I get soap suspension of disbelief and all but give me throw away line about a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 LOL. I love music and I love the video arts, and so it's only natural that I get all squee over opening sequences. If it's done just right, it's able to capture the whole show in just a matter of seconds. But if that makes me a dork, I'm fine with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 No way! ITA with you. The opening credits are integral to the show. ABC soaps tend to have the music of a cheap-ass 90s Daytime talk show (think Leeza) but for some reason I can forgive AMC's music. I also love the glimpse of Ruth Warwick and young Erica shots at the beginning. And this is from somebody who adored AMC's original hand-turning-the-pages-of-the book opening. At least AMC doesn't have GH's aneurism-inducing travesty, with its Men Only mantra and Tony Geary at the end getting up to take a piss. ------------------------ Yesterday's episode was glory. Krustal finally got some payback! I loved how David told her "Just tell everybody I gave you pills and they won't blame you for sleeping with me" on Friday. KWAK was all "What? Lil ole honest me? Ah could nevah do that!" And then yesterday when Tad's demanding an explanation, she's all "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell. David gave me these pills..."
