Damons ADHD....even though the dialogue get's really pathetic sometimes, I think AMC is handling it pretty well, in the sense that Damon really can't pay attention to anything at all! When Colby was tutoring him with the basic math, the way he was acting reminded me of this kid in a few of my classes, who pretty much everyone knows has ADHD also, and every time the teacher is talking about something, he always zones into it. For example, when Colby was telling Damon that really weird word problem, something about a girl named Yolanda moving to a new house and having 30 boxes weighing at 20 pounds each, and her car can hold 700 pounds or something, and all Damon was talking about was what kind of car was it? And how she got each box to weigh 20 pounds? LOL, totally ignoring the problem and talking about the context instead. I thought that was great and really interesting to watch, it seems as though AMC is doing their research on this. I like Colby and Damon together, and that was sweet how he wrote her a song.

Yeah I totally see what you are saying with this. I feel the same way, to. I also don't like when Frankie is just thrown into the mix, like last week. He came out of nowhere and started stirring the pot with David, to. Please.

Colby/Damon work for me, too. I just hope the current Colby gets some acting lessons (and not from Darnell).

I am sooo looking forward to what AmandaFan has planned for Jake!

That's been the problem with the past few headwriting regimes. I'm so sick of being told who the "good" guys and "bad" guys are. It's gotten better with Broderick and I hope the new headwriters give us more gray areas (good people doing the wrong thing for what they think is the right reason and villains with a conscience who occasionally help others), which imo makes for more compelling storytelling.

Oh, please. That's no high horse. She's riding a pony. Angie ANGELA's just frontin' like she's on a high horse because she's paranoid due to her guilty conscience, that's all it is. Dr. Step Sister has been pulling stunts and shows all the while. Covering for Frankie... Resorting to blackmail to avoid the strike... Now this. She knows full well she did some underhanded shit to get David's license revoked. She admitted it. But then, she tried to justify it with "since David plays dirty, I have to play dirty, too." Then, HELLO! How the hell can you expect me to believe you're the clean one when both ya damn asses is rollin' around in the mud?

That's why I'm diggin' Liza right now. Angie ANGELA's trying step to her like she has room to judge. Liza even marveled at ANGELA judging her. This is vintage 1995 Liza.

That's not just a problem with writers.

It's a problem with fans too.

Certain fans latch onto certain "gray" characters & rationalize EVERYTHING they do.

"Gray" characters do HORRIBLE things but are excused by TPTB & fans by ruining other characters in desperate attempts to justify the "gray" characters completely unearned smugness & "moral superiority".

Let's be real. Nothing Angie has done comes close to some of the things David has done. Angie isn't a Saint, but she doesn't go out of her way to control people and hurt them out of ego and obsession. I've lost count of the number of people he's drugged and manipulated. But ultimately, none of that matters to me. I care about what entertains me and both David and Angela do. David's wrong doing makes the show more interesting to me. I love seeing him go on the war path and then getting as good as he gives from people like Erica and Angie. Jake and Ryan don't entertain me and on top of that they are hypocrites and that's why I'll always be on David's side over them, even when David does whatever crazy thing he's going to do to keep Ryan and Greenlee apart. David doesn't have to be right or justified to be a character that's much more fun to watch than Jake and Ryan.

You're missing my point completely. "Gray" characters do horrible things and feel guilty for it. They don't go around acting smug or morally superior. That's the bad writing I was complaining about that's been changing lately on AMC at least.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
