OLTL: Discussion for the week January 26

[rhinohide]

FRINGE does these weird three dimensional block letters and they float across the screen. Some people complain about them, but I think they're kewl. "Heaven must be missing angels, cuz you're right here with me."

Daphne! My kindred spirit! LOL. I know she was a total b!tch. I thought it was great. But what keeps me shaking my head is precisely that Jessica hasn't forgiven Natalie (nor should she IMO), and she's really not seeking forgiveness from Natalie, or taking any active measures to earn it. But she's so stunned at Natalie's reaction. It must makes me laugh at her. I mean all Natalie is doing is saying cruel things. If Natalie really wanted payback, she'd whip out a stick of dynamite and hoist it up Jessica's petard. Then they'd be even.

Either way, this has the potential to be a great story if Ron writes it in a balanced fashion. I'm sure Jessica is going to get her digs in at Natalie or worse. There should be a lot of back and forth, and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. The funny thing is I keep wondering if Natalie is the one to discover the baby switch, where's the conflict? If she still hates Jessica as much as she does now, she'd just expose the truth (that Jessica's baby died) and blow Jess out of the water. But there's no story in that, so something else must happen.

I'm starting to think that there's a "Good Zingers" clause in both St. John and Florencia's contracts.

Whenever I think of Jess and Natalie being at each other's throats I just remember that catfight between them at the carriage house ending with them both going through the banister just when Viki walked in. It warms this fanboy's heart to see them at it again.

I loved that fight. It was only Jessica that went through the banister though. Natalie pushed her through it

Thanks!

May I add, I hope that trend continues.

They're just so good at them

You know, GH has made a big stink about its Feb Sweeps biotoxin whateverthefuck but OLTL last week felt more Sweeps-like to me. It was like the culmination of a lot of long-simmering SLs, what with Starr on the stand and the Jess/Natalie stand-off. OMG, I loved the Nat/Jess scenes! This sets up YEARS of resentment, conflict, rivalry.

And the ending! I was not expecting that.

Also, the direction in Friday's episode was really top-notch. OLTL's production people are very underrated.
