It's pretty good. I am ready for Batiatus to kill his father already. What a pest! I like Gia on it and she has a key role. I have a feeling she isn't long for this world after that incident a couple of weeks back. It wasn't her fault but you can see that Doctore is not going to be too pleased and something tragic has to happen. What do you think of all the skinemax elements this year? It seems a bit more porny with the threesomes and everything else.

Batiatus is making this show for me. He's such a schemer. Yeah, the show is trashier than ever, but I think it worked for them the first time around, so they decided to take it to the next level. I don't really mind either way.Some of the really graphic violent scenes bother me more. This is one of the few shows that makes me turn away from the screen due to all the blood. It's obviously fake and yet it still disturbs me sometimes.

Tonight's episode was the best yet! I was shocked and never saw that coming. Lucretia and Quintas will fix his wagon, I have no doubt. I like the whole love story angle which just has to end in death somehow.. Even though they are horrible, you really root for Lucretia and Batiatus and poor Lucretia was getting it from all sides tonight, but she has to have the last laugh.

Yeah, the violence can be crazy, but in a way it is so unrealistic it is like watching a video game. I winced last year when the guy cut the dead guy's face off, and at the image of the well endowed slave post-punishment.

No, not really. It's very close to being a "stand alone", imo. I only wish to god they had made 12 episodes. Hell, I wish they would make this it's own spin off. Don't read the rest of my post if you want to be surprised.

Hi Q! This show just keeps getting better and better. I was really hoping that the father was going to have a little help on his way to the after world. I really thought Quintus would be the one to do it, but I'm glad that Lucretia saved herself. This show has had some great vixens. I can't believe it's streaming on Netflix next day. It's awesome that it is, but I just can't believe how lucky that is, since I don't get Starz.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
