AMC: Wed. 1.28.09

[Cheap21]

Can you blame them? AMC has complely dropped the ball here. The story was going strong late last year and then cam to a quick halt around Christmas. I dont even know why they let Rebecca live if they werent going to follow up with anything here. She had one appearance at that party a few weeks ago and then nothing. I wish they had just killed her off and dealt with that fallout

I think she may have been Ritchie's doctor while he was in prison and fell in love with him. She gives off a very Harley Quinn vibe with Ritchie being her Joker. I thought it was creepy in the end withher stroking Annie's head

I don't know if this is necessarily a case of bad writing. My hunch is that they were trying to sign Laura Koffman to a contract but somewhere along the way the deal fell through so that's why the story was put on hold and will eventually come to a halt. Rather than bring the story to an end however, I think that TPTB should've just recasted. LK is a talented actress but I don't think they necessarily need her to play Rebecca in order to tell the rest of the story.

[Cheap21]

I like LK but the character of Rebecca isnt all that exciting. Where she shined was her scenes with Angie, but take Angie away, and she's pretty boring on the surface. I dont really see her as a viable character worth keeping around

[Kubla Khan]

I, too, enjoyed today's episode. I really like Tracey Thomson. Lynsey Dufour's Tuesday shitfest, OTOH? Um, no. Glad that of the new writers, she was given the boot.

Pretty good today, but there was a continuity issue. When Dr. Sinclair went back to Oak Haven she asked the orderly if Annie had given him any problems today and he said that she was "a little agitated today but calmed down when we brought Mr. Stone back to his room." This made it seem like she wasn't at Oak Haven at all that day but she was indeed there right before she had drinks with Tad.

Well, LK has one more appearance next week as Rebecca and that's it I believe. Is she dead already, I wonder? I don't know how they could have her die and deal with that all in one episode.

[Jonathan]

LOL! You probably didn't watch last week when Josh died. It CAN be done. Trust me.

[reallyhateskateonlost]

This episode was more like watching paint dry. Same old lines from Dr. Delicious...Same old stuff Jessie & Angie... Same crapola from Ryape and Greenpea.....etc. ect. Oh and POOF, Natalia is cop!! I should have spent my time shoveling snow my driveway.

Something has really gone wrong with this show. And I don't mean in the Rylee sucks kind of way but in the way everyone's mentioned. The sheer festival of randomness:

• Bianca gets into a car accident, breaks up with Reese for "cheating" on her with Zach, Reese decides to go back Paris, then decides she can't leave her daughters. While at the same time Bianca realizes that she doesn't want to live without Reese and races to stop her from leaving and they have a sweet romantic reunion all in one episode.
• Josh is back. (What? You didn't know?) Josh is dead. Zach killed Josh on purpose. Zach sits with Josh's mom and sister to help them pick out wedding dresses while Josh's body rots in a dumpster.
• Rebecca's dying. No she's not. She's getting chemo. She's dancing with Jesse at the casino New Year's Eve. She's...dead? dying? still playing craps at the casino? Who knows. And Natalia's a cop. (What? You didn't know?)
• David's at the hospital. He's at ConFusion. He's home playing the piano. He's flying over the city! Here's some drugs Krystal. I made them myself. You're a whore Amanda. You're a drunk JR. I want my grandson. I'm Chief of Staff. Call me Magneto!

It's like they're writing this show with a Mad Libs book.

[rsmith2k2]

They're all good, but this is the funniest.

And it's true. Poor Amanda, btw...everybody's calling always calling her a whore.

That one about that Reese and Bianca episode is when I first started thinking things were *off* somehow.

I haven't had a chance to see today's episode.

[R Sinclair]

That was weird.

But didn't That Bitch of a Doctor leave before Annie flipped out about Mr. Stone? Bitch Doctor was playing that word association game with Annie trying to pump her for info about Mr. Stone, and then Annie faked those flying monkeys and then she left Annie's room. Bitch Doctor's in her office, gets a call from Tad, she leaves, and then the orderly came to Annie's and that's when Annie freaked about Mr. Stone. Because Dr. Bitch said to Tad on the phone, after the whole flying monkeys incident, that she had just finished her last session of the day and could meet Tad in 20 minutes. I don't think there was a continuity issue because Annie got agitated during the time Bitch Doctor was with Tad.

[marceline]

Have we settled on Bitch Doctor as Sinclair's nickname? I personally like the more formal That Bitch of a Doctor or TBOAD for short.

[R Sinclair]

Don't get me wrong... I love That Bitch of a Doctor as a nickname, I just didn't feel like typing that every time. LOL! Plus, I didn't want to be Rebecca Taylor and do the whole redundant repetition redundancy thing.
