Members Marco Dane Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 Is OLTL using a new lighting and camera technique ? Has anyone else noticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 No. I am generally into all that stuff too. Lighting is good still, show doesn't look cheap like its two sisters. I thought the Viki/Gigi scene today was very well lit and shot. What did you notice that seemed different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 it's like that probably because I am looking at it on the ABC HD Channel when the show is not in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 i have done that too, and the show does look different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 OLTL looks great, but they are wearing out that light through the Venetian blinds effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 Even if they'd recast Starr with an older actress, those scenes seemed so degrading and unnecessary. I don't really understand why they think there is an audience for having women strip down to their underwear to try to seduce men who don't want them. They already did this with Stacey and Rex. I wish they could just write Todd and Starr out for a lengthy period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 But doesn't that stuff sometimes happen in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 Probably, but I don't know why we need to see it. They don't exactly have an adherence to reality in most of their other storylines. So many of their stories revolve around women desperate for men, women with no self-control, women with no self-respect. They don't have to keep upping the ante, I think viewers already knew how obsessed Starr was with Schuyler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 I am really stumped as to who the killer is, unless it's Fish, Zach AND that lab tech dude conspiring against Todd and Marty. WHAT ON EARTH are they doing to Starr, though? Stripping in front of her teacher undoes all the growing up she did last year! And Jack's a little brat. He may be the worst soap child since demon spawn Michael on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 I don't think she's ever grown up per se. The writers just delayed it when the strike begun. Tomlin had Cole and her have sex and eventually get preggers. I suppose we were supposed to see exactly how much Starr is like her dad when the writers had Starr suspect Langston and Cole were fooling around, however I guess a potential triangle got scrapped. Starr's still a rotten spoiled brat, and it emerges every now and then. From her changing her testimony to save her dad, to that heartless comment she made to Langston about her dead parents.

Members leevo64 Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 I do remember when Langston and Cole started hanging out with each other. Sometimes I wonder how different Llanview would be today if not for the strike. Who knows -- Todd and Blair may have never divorced, Adriana may never have turned into a bitch, and Starr probably wouldn't have gotten pregnant. It's not that I don't like the show as it is today; I do enjoy where Carlivati has taken most of the characters, especially Jessica and Brody, Todd and Blair and Gigi and Rex, but I can't help but wonder if we missed out on something brilliant.

Administrator Toups Posted April 4, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted April 4, 2009 OLTL hasn't been the same since the stirke. Sept 07 to Mid-Feb 08 was so brilliant in terms of planning, character interaction, interconnecting stories and themes - there was a vision. Now the magic isn't there anymore. Stupid strike.

Members leevo64 Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 It was also a hell of a lot less violent and bleak. Marcie holding Viki hostage at the Bonjour Cafe is my all-time favorite moment on the show. It was the culmination of months of story and provided satisfying conclusions to the show's two main arcs. It was powerful and dramatic without anyone getting raped, murdered, paralyzed or drug-addicted. I still want to know what the Miles/Addie/Jessica/Allison Perkins story was going to reveal!

Administrator Toups Posted April 4, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted April 4, 2009 Sounds like GH doesn't it. I swear to God that Frons and his cronies have their hands all over OLTL now. The reveal was Jessica being a Buchanan and not Mitch's daughter. Now it seems Carlivati's not going to get a chance to finish his story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
