Dang, y'all weren't lying! There wasn't a single scene that wasn't without a Hubbard. I'm quite impressed with AMC/ABC! I very much enjoyed this type of episode too, I might even enjoy more episodes like this with other characters....well maybe not Ryan or Jake :)

LOL at Natalia after learning she had to buy everyone lunch: "Ok, y'all be gettin' salads!"

Debbi Morgan was HOT! She most definitely has an Emmy reel here... and she better get recognized for it. Great work!

Loved finally seeing a new set - Angie/Jesse's bedroom! Loved it.

The only flaw in this episode is Brot. Earlier this week Brot decided to take a leave of abscence, yet he was here working and celebrating as if nothing happened. A bit jarring for me.

lol@ Natalia "ya'll gonna be gettin salads"

On Angie/Natalia's convo = coming from a biracial person everything she said was on point actually my mother who is White had the exact same convo with me. WHite + Black in this country= BLACK

Debbie is AMAZING :excl: Yes she put on a clinic she had me in tears.

This episode was the best i've seen in some time. The Hubbards have so much chemistry that they feel like a real family. Debbie, Shannon, Cornelius & Darnell props to you guys. I will be watching this ep. again. :wub::wub:

Oh did I see what I think I saw? Natalia and Brot walked out holding hands? :wub:

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!!!! 1.gif

This episode....wow. Seriously, I was more of an emotional wreck with the Angie parts alone than i was when I was watching Alice Horton's memorial on DAYS shortly before. Truly a fantastic episode of AMC. Trying to piece together what i want to say here but I can't for some reason...

Great scenes, father/son bonding, so fun to watch. AMC should have done those scenes on location though in a real park!! Frankie and Jessie were like 2 feet away from each other...lol. Come on AMC, you are in LA now....

When Angie was stumbling around holding onto things because she could barely see, all i could think was how believable Debbie Morgan looked doing it. If Angie does indeed go blind, i think we are in store for some really powerful moments, and I think DM will put her spin on things and make it a really great story line, and something interesting to watch.

The part that really got me was when Angie was testing herself, and when she ran for that... Medical Encyclopedia i think it was??...and she had that shocked look on her face when she discovered she had endophthalmitis..i don't know about any one else, but i really felt for Angie on that part. Debbie Morgan's shocked facial expression on that part had such an impact on me, i was shocked myself, lol...

My absolute favorite part of the episode. Angie doing that audio log, all while we see Jessie and Frankie tossing that football around. HOW did Debbie Morgan memorize all of those lines?!? Amazing, and there were some pretty big words in there, to. That scene had a quiet power to it, and Angie having that mini breakdown at the end was like the cherry on top....fantastic scene, DM put her all into that. I will admit I was crying on that part, lol. Always surprising to me when i cry during soaps...

Oh definitely DM's Emmy reel material, no doubt. And am i going to far here when i say that i think this could be Best Writing Emmy material for next year also?

Their episodes never disappoint me...not one i don't think. I hate how these two are used so sparingly, like...twice a month.

SHAME on all of you who have mocked ANYTHING in this episode. :P An outstanding episode--amazing acting, and to complain about the lack of black characters on the show (which I think, out of all the current soaps is ridiculous on AMC anyway) in a thread devoted to today, is inane. So I says :P . Fantastic directing, dialogue, and acting--I did laugh about the conversation between Angie and Natalia about how hard it is to be a woman, and especially of colour currently though, I admit--in context.

Even characters like David I feel have been a bit out of character lately (and yes, I'm one of those rare fans who am enjoying thecurrent writing regime)--today they felt on target.

Well I suspect now, people will say that any decent ep will have been ghostwritten by Broderick--at least till she (inevitably) leaves. That said, I was surprised to see Agnes is STILL listed as top writer in the Emmy noms for this past year under Pratt--even thought Agnes actually (in her oh so polite way) spoke out against his plot driven work.

First off, Happy Belated Birthday, Jonathan!

At first I found the quick cutaways a little jarring, then I started to accept them. My only quibble is that I think the show should have gone to a commercial break right after Angie dictated her report while Jesse & Frankie were tossing the football because for me that was the emotional highlight of the episode (and the point where I started crying).

I wouldn't mind an occasional episode done in this style, but I hope it doesn't become a weekly thing or happen too often.

As a medical transcriptionist, I can safely say that recording would be transcribed by someone later on and become a part of the patient's permanent medical record. I have to wonder since Angie was dictating a report on herself if she used a fake name for the patient.

    • 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).
