[!@#$%^&*] tomorrows rerun. They may as well have Sophie B. Hawkins "As I Lay Me Down to Sleep" play over it and run old footage of reactions to the OJ verdict during the commercial break. I lived 1995 already, I'm currently in 2011.

Thanks.

As for today's episode, I loved seeing Natalie cry. The only time John and Natalie are interesting is when he's going off on her.

And yet, an episode from 16 years ago is more sophisticated, intelligent, progressive, diverse and forward-thinking than most of the show today. I'd rather watch an episode from 1995 than get another rerun from 2006, during the show's most misogynistic, regressive, ignorant, uncurious, adolescent, exploitative, wrongheaded and tacky era since Paul Rauch.

God ME was dissapointing in his scenes and Bree Williamson was cringeworthy. Thank god for Mark Lawson and MA

They apparantly shut it down cause *gasp* people actually we talking about the show while the thread was going on

Ugh I hate them making Kelly so dumb in favor of Aubrey

This story isnt about making Kelly dumb. She's one of the few intelliegnt characters around for the fact that she knows whats up. Joey is the true idiot here.

Yes Jessica, Marty was a friend, she tried to tell you

that had nothing to do with Marty being a friend. She was motivated 100% by her need for revenge on Natalie. She was willing to use Jessica to cause Natalie as much pain as possible.

Kelly was dumb for not checking what was on the flashdrive before letting everyone see it

+1

I just can't wait for the complaints when AMC, GH and OLTL start cutting more actors since they aren't going to do repeats now....

+1.

I agree she's smart most of the time, why didn't she check the flash drive though before showing it to people? She knows Aubrey is up to something she underestimated her

Id have been an idiot too then bc as a viewer, I did not see Cutter pulling what he did. Who would think that he and Aubrey staged a fake scenario like that? I thought he was going to "accidentally" erase the contents, but what he pulled was even more clever.

Cookie Cutter and Stacey 2.0 would seem more clever if they didn't have the smirks on so much. I keep expecting them to cackle.

Kelly is usually more stupid in the way she behaves than in her thought processes, but she's never exactly been a genius. But on OLTL women aren't supposed to be smart anyway. So it's more Joey who will be penalized for being an idiot.

I read something about Todd's reaction to Jessica. I didn't see that part. What did he say?

When Todd found out Ford is the father of Jess's baby he pretty much laughed about it. Tea scolded him and said "that's your niece" which was pointless cause Todd doesn't give a crap about his nieces or his sister

Thanks. Well, I respect OLTL for keeping Todd in character, as a few years ago he happily let her and her unborn child suffer (and the child died, again with Todd being fine with it), but it's hard to believe that he once cared about her. Then again he probably sees rape as a good thing for her anyway.

I was expecting more because the scenes between Brody/Jessica and John/Natalie were underwhelming. I can't even say "Wow, great acting!". Everyone hit their proverbial notes on cue - disbelief, crying, bawling, anger, etc... but it all fell flat. It didn't help that ME as usual was very understated. Their scenes in particular were suppose to pack that emotional punch that connected to Brody/Jessica. John imploding on Natalie would have been much more effective given her mountain of lies rather than being resigned to the fact that she had lied. Hopefully they can sustain the momentum next week with the Jessica/Natalie and the Brody/Natalie confrontations.

John is the definition of "implode." Michael Easton is incapable of turning in a competent, well-rounded performance and has not since 2003 or 2004. Even then it was just occasionally a good day.

I love ME and the character of John. But, he really let me down today.

Once more with feeling. Please.

Ugh. They need to get rid of Charlie. He's useless.

Gah the Jess/Nat stuff for Monday looks good

God, can we just get rid of the frickin Fords? They are so useless. I do not care about 30 year old Nate trying to get Dani into bed, or whatever those boring scenes were about today. Zzz!

Aubrey needs to go too. She sucks. And she's on too much - today was her 13th consecutive episode. They should pair her with Cristian, so she can get shipped off to the back burner.

Cannot wait to get home from work tomorrow to watch the repeat! I think you can all guess why. Love old school TnB but even I'm not too big on the whole gold balloons thing, but at this point I don't care - my man is back (in a repeat)! Oh god, I can't wait to see the awful satin sheets opening.
