I'm not a Richonne shipper but that was a nice earned moment. I usually quit shows once the leads hookup. House, Bones, Castle, are all shows I abandoned due to shipping but I think I'll stick around. :lol:

 

I think the only thing that would make the fanbase happier is when Daryl finally gets his nasty self into a shower.

I am curious to see if the show will explore what the rest of the gang thinks about this romantic development.  I could see Daryl and Carol being unhappy with this for different reasons.  Carol especially might not like the loss of control that will come from this new reality.   Carl it would seem would love the idea but that doesn't have to be the case  if he has any lingering devotion to his mother and views this as a betrayal.

Even though this was a more relaxed episode I think it still helped to ramp up the long term drama. Now that these people are a family their lives become more precious to each other and (vicariously) to the viewer.  I think that's especially true for Judith. We know Michonne lost one baby, so I'm both pleased and nervous about her becoming a mother to Judith.

 

I like Jesus. I remember Tom Payne from Luck. He's a cutie and I think he'll be good in this role.

That's why I always make my DVR record an extra 3-5 mins. Fortunately I am here for you as I am for all mankind.

Watch that to 1:55, then watch this for better quality:

Thanks.

 

I enjoyed the episode. The ponderous-speak was kept to a minimum (mostly confined to Rick going on about how he hadn't seen and now he saw the way Daryl and Michonne always had about Alexandria - a nice sentiment, but not enough to make up for how character-damaging that fiasco was), and everyone got a chance to breathe. Seeing Eugene presented so normally, Denise wanting to do something nice for Tara, Maggie worrying about that Enid girl...even the Carl one-eye stuff was not as melodramatic as I feared. His scene at the end with Michonne was very moving. I love their bond. I still can't bring myself to care about Enid, but at least her hair looks better. 

 

The Daryl and Rick scenes were the best they've had in a long time - we hear about them being brothers, and so on, but rarely do they get to have fun. This was just fun. 

 

It's tough to care about Spencer as I feel like he's dead meat, but I did like the way they tied up his relationship with his mother. And the actor is so, so handsome.

 

Jesus probably had the best character introduction of any "major" character I can remember since Michonne. 

 

They got Michonne and Rick right - it wasn't too romantic or trying too hard to be "hot." It fit the characters and their history perfectly. And it felt utterly natural to them. I hope that will continue. 

 

I wish I could shake the feeling that Maggie is going to die...

They've toned down most of the comic stuff a lot. In the books half of Carl's face is gone, there's amnesia, etc. - it was just ludicrous to me. IIRC they said here during Talking Dead that the bullet bounced off his cheek or something and shrapnel was what took his eye out, no brain damage. I got the sense that they had to do it but wanted to be done with it as quickly as possible. I think there's a lot of that brinkmanship with the source material which Scott Gimple usually executes well, IMO. (And Rick's epiphany about Alexandria was especially affecting in the previous week's episode, if you haven't seen it - really great stuff.)

 

I don't know if Glenn is going to die but I doubt they'd have

It could be Daryl, Abraham, Morgan or it could be Glenn after all. Who knows.

I watched this episode and it reminded me of early seasons, which is a great thing because that's when I could tolerate the show. It was people, talking! Saying things! Saying and doing what they mean and not trying to be deep and cryptic. It was nice.

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.

      It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.

      There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
