Olivias alive. <_<

Seriously, what was the point of this if we couldnt get a couple of deaths out of it?

Don't give up hope yet, it looks like she might have some internal injuries.

I'm disappointed that Matt didn't die.

Morgan is missing. He is usually missing on this show. Nobody likes NuMorgan, so he can stay missing. They should go out and find the old Morgan.

I can eat crow, I'm LOVING Chad as Michael

Molly throws her chemistry set and puts Spinelli into a coma. Sonny throws his barware and puts Brenda into a coma.

The only good thing out of today's episode was Molly telling Kristina to shut up.

So I guess the bus disappeared? :rolleyes:

Im surprised at Guza. This whole thing was VERY poorly done.

This crash is an example of when a television show doesn't take full advantage of being a television show. No, I don't need to see a CGI bus crashing down a CGI ravine. Nor do I need to see a bunch of stunt performers in bad wigs hurling themselves across the soundstage. But, for the love of verisimilitude, at least have a crumpled up front end or chassis in sight... somewhere. My goodness! It looks like the mothership just beamed them down in the middle of snow.

I'll be as PC as I can... My eyes didn't react kindly to the old Morgan.

And I'll leave it at that. :)

Couldn't agree more about the CGI. It just makes the show's attempt at being "advanced" look pathetic.

And oldMorgan had a spunk about him, and he was a good actor. This Morgan...Well, to be PC, seems a little....feminine.

This is all budget problems. I am sure they would have loved to do a location shoot and send a bus careening off the side of a cliff if they could.

I hate the CGI stuff, it always looks awful and fake but I wanted some explanation as to how everyone ended up out of the bus.

  • Member

I'm not judging the CGI. I'm just saying, they don't even need to do that, as far as I'm concerned. Just have set dressing that tells viewers "BUS CRASH!" Don't just have them passed out in the middle of the snow with no bus in sight and have characters say "BUS CRASH, CRASH, BUS CRASH, CRASH!" every other word in the script and think that's going to give the appearance of a bus crash.

They'd have been better off if they staged an avalanche.

  • Member

You don't need special effects for a story like this. Frankly, the Good Times episode where Florida and the kids were stranded in the snow on a bus, or wherever, was more suspenseful. All you need to do is make viewers care, and GH struggles to do that.

In GH's defense it is almost impossible for GH to make the online audience care.

"All we see are Dante and Brenda!"

"Oh, a bus of these people? They're all expendable, don't care"

There is no way GH can win in trying to please the audience, so they are better off not trying and just doing the best show they can and hope it works out for the best.

It's not the bus crash that's bad. It could have pleased TONS of people. It's the cheap, gimmicky way they did it.

There's nothing wrong with the people on the bus. Are they all expendable? Yep. But they're just not DOING anything with bus crash. It just sort of...happened.

  • Member

Unless that bus had an open convertible rooftop I'm still not understanding how everyone got launched out of it like that.

How the heck did Cameron not have any injuries of any kind? He had no blood on his body or injuries or anything?? I am glad he's ok but really, it looked like he was just on the snow and Steve woke him up from a nap.

How come Steve to the rescue didn't check poor Ali's head? Blood was gushing out of it and no one seemed to care! She was acting pretty strange, to. I think she'll die later on from that head injury.

How did Lucky not know that Cameron was on that trip? And how come no one called him or Elizabeth right away?? Wow!!

Poor Olivia, I hope she makes it. Loved her scenes with Steve.

Michael climbed up that mountain mighty fast. His body must have been in perfect shape after falling out of the sky. WTF.
