Y&R: Episodes discussion., Week of June 29,2009

You know, I kind of liked Daniel's shirt today... it made him look like a submissive twinkie... just the kind I LIKE. I'll admit, the hard nipples poking through his shirt were distracting, but in a good way. I'm LOVING Goddard with this longer hair, it keeps his head from looking so frekaishly large. And BOY was he good today. H'es SO VERY GOOD at "Deer in the headlights" Lily needed to be MORE upset, once again Kahlil falls flat on her face.

Khalil is SO outta her depth.

Jeanne, Jess & Tricia are still awesome.

Victor/Nikki :wub:

[brimike]

Khalil is definitely the weak link.

I got chills seeing Bierdz. Psyched for next week!

[MarkH]

Focusing on the EPISODE: Ah-freaking-mazing!

For all the obvious reasons (Victor-Nikki-Michael, the Chancellor set).

Smaller things I have been loving:

MURPHY'S TRAILER! Awesome! Where is Billy going to park it?

Yesterday, I loved loved loved loved that [ a ] Murphy complained about Tofu burgers, [ b ] he called Esther a "good egg", and [ c ] he excused himself to SCRAPE THE GRILL!! Can we have a daily dose of Murph, please??

It's so nice to see the Victor-Nikki tenderness. I am delighted that Braeden has dialed back on the hostility. And unlike his 'my sweetheart' Ashley scenes, these scenes seemed to have some genuine affection.

Superficial: I wish Bierdz had not been open about those chin implants. I notice them. It makes his eyes seem deep-sunk. That said, I cannot wait to learn more about the fact that the accident, and all that followed, were manufactured. I would not have guessed.

Can I guess...from the events on screen and the previews...and Billy and Mac's consummation will REMAIN thwarted? Argggggggggggh!

You know what? I liked Khalil today. She retained her Lily-ness, but in that context, I found her reaction to be realistic and appropriately p!ssed. KSJ gets props from me too...hardly any dialogue, but he played his character's transformation his face brilliantly.

Glad to see, from the previews, that this time Billy gets to sucker-punch!

CK should've covered her face with her hands, cried out, and fled the scene. Esther with no lines was more convincing and she wasn't married to the bloke.

[DeeeDee]

Yes!

If you don't have the body to wear those clothes don't wear them.

Sadly, Michael has become nothing more than a modern day John Silva under MAB. The only focus on his personal/family life is his occassional mentions of his wife and son.

I did enjoy the Nikki and Victor scenes. They were my favorite couple for years and no matter what happens with them, I am glad we seem to be beyond Victor's constant looks of disdain. EB and MTS have such wonderful chemistry. I wonder if this custody situation will come into play.

[MarkH]

Go back and watch it rhythm. Seriously...I'm not questioning your evaluation, but I think there was more to her today. I'm not a fan of CK-Lily lately, but she did better than that, I think. True, she wasn't weeping...but she's still in the "first dawn of outrage" stage. It works, IMO.

[DeeeDee]

Christel acted like somebody told her there was a sale on rice a roni.

The swimming scene with Summer would've been much more effective had it been him, Lauren & Fen.

[MTSRocks]

Missed the show. Will watch it later online.

I just had to comment on Y&R's wardrobe dept, which truly sucks. They especially cannot dress curvy women. I think Y&R should fire them, and just let the cast dress themselves LoL.

[DeeeDee]

Poor Victoria.

[DeeeDee]

*cough*MTS*cough*

[MarkH]

They have done a good job of acknowledging other absences. For example, Victor told Ashley to stay away on the phone.

Why could they not have done the same with Victoria and JT. Like "You're still recovering from your head injury, so you need to stay away from this stress", or "Your immune function could still be compromised from that coma, so stay out of the dirty hospital", or "We want someone at the Newman ranch to serve as the conduit and coordination point for information" or "I need you to run some important business meetings for me in my absence".

SOMEthing.

[rhythmchyc]

This episode was just incredible, as was the whole week, except for Wednesday as brimike said earlier. It was a pretty solid episode from beginning to previews.

Bierdz was a fine man. Those chin implants are just wrong on him. He was so swoon-worthy back in the day.

It was so gratifying to see that punch. Billy should do so repeatedly. And I like how Billy and Mac's sexual escapade will be thwarted yet again. They should never have sex. Haha haHa!!

We'll have to disagree with CK Lily's performance. Delia could've done better.
