Um, it was simply a joke to a post I replied to. Fill up the board? This thread was hardly about any episode discussion and I wasn't the only one contributing to that. Also, not like I'm making various threads on this board about how much I hate the show. I decide what I watch and don't watch, thanks.

When did I say you said that?

I think these weekly threads should be started on Monday's, not on a Saturday or Sunday...

A joke to you, not really ha ha to me.

This thread did not add 4 pages in 24 hours until you added your opinion about how unsavory the P3 rewrite is. This all should've occurred in the Potpourri thread, IMO. Otherwise, why open it in the first place?

You just want to do whatever you want because you feel like you have a right to post wherever you want. And you do. It's a free board. But it had been decided that the potpourri thread would handle the everything else last week. It would be mature of us to abide by that.

Well, it wasn't intended to please you though, was it? I wouldn't have used the smilies if I intended for it to be taken seriously.

Yeah because I forced other people to reply to it? Also, it related to a prior discussion in this thread about Katherine and her memouries of giving a baby away. My Phillip III rewrite talk was meant to tie directly into that.

The same could be said for everything and everyone that has replied to this thread. Why reply to a weekly episode thread when episodes for this week haven't aired yet? Tell me, who was actually on topic in this thread? :huh:

I agree, but i feel odd. Like... im not sure what to post where now. What if its not against the show or the status of the show and doesnt really go into the potpourri thread, but it isnt exactly related to the weeks episodes? lol. oh well.

I like daniel goddard. There, i said it.

I've definitely seen a spark in Goddard this last week that I haven't seen in ages. I really think that one of the goods to come out of this P3 story (and yeah, I'm sure there will be retconned holes all over the place to balance this out) is that Cane will actually become a real three-dimensional character again - and not a smug, self-righteous symbol of the LML-era disregard for fans and history. I thought his scenes with CK, his scenes with JW, his scenes with TC and JC, all had a depth to them that I never in a million years thought I'd see from him.

If we're so stuck with him because CBS mistakenly believes Lane is the be-all, end-all of romance right now -- then I'd much rather find something to like about him than hate his guts. And right now - even if it all gets blown to hell in the course of a few weeks, I have a tolerance for Goddard I haven't had in... well, maybe this is the first time ever since he came on the show!

His desperation, his frustration - the subtext that at the end of the day, he's just a man who wants a family more than anything (and from the looks of it, can never have it) - I find it incredibly powerful. In a very short amount of time, I'm actually caring about him (although I could give a rat's ass about Lily as his love interest), and watching him play this brand-new dynamic with Nina/Jill/Kay has been really eye-opening. I hope it doesn't lose its steam because right now, I'm seeing relationships and dynamics that are a lot deeper than surface.

I've never had a big problem with Goddard. Perhaps because he's disposable, whereas many other flaws in the show are not, but I think if they can figure out what to do with him, he'll serve more of a purpose than the other leading men in his age range, who only think with their groins and repeat the same stories over and over and over.

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.
