LOL at JR's rap sheet. I'm sure there a couple of crimes there missing too. :lol:

It doesn't matter I still love him, they could have him drown puppies and I would love him.

Scott is a hypocrite though, acting all offended because JR "stole" Cortlandt Ent. from Caleb (which coincidentally enough is probably what will save his sorry behind)

You all are purposely avoiding the point I'm making just because WE ALL HATE MARISSA!

I'm saying, Marissa has set up boundaries in her relationship with Krystal. Her relationship with Krystal is cool until those boundaries are crossed. Just like, dare I say, in our own lives, some people can get away with telling us things that other people can't because of the boundaries we set in place for those particular relationships. It's not that Marissa doesn't want to hear it. It's just Marissa doesn't want to hear it from Krystal. Why? Because, probably, Marissa feels Krystal is stepping into a role that Marissa doesn't want her in. The Maternal Role. Why doesn't she want her in that role? Because she had a mother she loved dearly and baby-selling Krystal doesn't come close to filling those shoes in her eyes and doesn't want Krystal acting as if she can. So the baby selling remark comes out to remind Krystal to back the hell up and know her position. It has nothing to do with what Krystal is saying. It has to do with what Krystal is doing -- stepping out of bounds. Hate Marissa, think she's a bore all you want -- but it doesn't change the fact that Krystal was being relentless. Marissa clearly wasn't being receptive, but it didn't matter. Krystal was going to smother Marissa with motherly concern whether she wanted it or not. Krystal was being totally selfish in that situation and got slapped back down to size. Krystal didn't just say, "Marissa, I see you're headed for heartbreak," and Marissa went, "What do you care? YOU SOLD ME AT BIRTH!" Krystal kept pushing, and pushing. Marissa said she didn't want to hear it. But still, Krystal pushed and pushed.

Was it the most mature thing to do? No. Was it understandable and within character for this particular situation? Yes. Krystal needs to be reminded that there is that HUGE roadblock in her relationship with Marissa, and that no amount of ignoring it and smothering the grown woman with unsolicited maternal wisdom is going to change that.

I wouldn't say I hate Marissa. I...uh...okay, I hate Marissa.

and...

Ah, okay. Now, I understand where you're coming from.

Thanks for the clarification, R!

I get what you're saying R, and I respect it, but I totally didn't see the scene like that at all. I don't hate Marissa, I just think she's extremely weak and in terrible need of some assertiveness training. If you're interpretation is correct, then IMO, Marissa should have said just that to Krystal. "Stop trying to be my mother, because you are not." The way she was talking, it seemed more like she thought Krystal didn't want her to succeed (in her marriage, in her career) because she isn't Babe.

Caught up! Good ol' AMC.

Even after 5 months, still not sure I'm ready for Kendall/Zach... I of course love Alicia, but Kendall/Zach have killed me in the previous 5 years at least. Which for some reason reminds me, Bianca wasn't on at all this week! Guess they are still trying to figure out Reese, and due to the press releases lately, I'm assuming this relationship will go south bc negotations have not been made yet...

AMS --- are you the one from Austin/Round Rock TX???

When the hell did I do that? I said difference between Scott and him and most of the town is he accepts it. He knows he ain't perfect, he knows what he does, does he care most of the time? No. Scott that's a different story

Scott steals from a dead person, yet to him JR fisted the Cortlandts buying thier company. :lol:

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
