This will be my everything!!! A bit sad they're shooting in the U.S. (and it's taking place there). I love the foreign shoots and feel of the show. I hope they don't try and bring the Brody's back (that it's taking place in NY is a good sign, but u never know).

A very nice preview of this upcoming season (Jan 15!), and pretty much confirmation that they are only going up to season 8. I'm very glad to read they plan to spend the next two abroad. This year, however, were in New York and it actually sounds amazing. I'm glad they're taking a "think outside the box" approach into how they're going to showcase the city & storylines. I'm pumped!

PS...I rewatched the 1st two seasons over the holiday break. Perfection. Damn.

FINALLY started season 5.

 

Better than I expected.

 

I still can't accept Quinn.

 

Hello to sexy mcstudmuffin Jonas.

 

It's been so long I don't even remember why Carrie & Saul are on the outs or if it was done between seasons and we'll catch up.

 

Poor Carrie. All she wants is a terrorist-free life. By the end of the episode, her lips are quivering again.

Germany is such a complimentary setting for the tone of the show.

Carrie saying goodbye to Frannie was very sad, and Danes did her thing once more with Carrie going off her meds and losing it. What a thrilling ride of an episode! I had no idea where it was all going with Quinn and the kid but it dovetailed nicely into finding Carrie. I wonder if he's only meant to track her down and not to kill her, as they made us think. They served us good soap opera with Saul and Allison sleeping together. And that ending scene!

I hate Allison -- she's so great at what she does. I LOVED her having an anxiety attack in the bathroom... and then getting up, readying herself, and boom, she's good. Saul getting 'kidnapped' by the Jewish guy was great too.

 

I don't know why the fυck Otto McFucktard is now telling Jonas (who still shows up for Carrie, squeeee!) that Carrie is not stable. I've always suspected he wants her, so I hope that's the reason and that he's not another traitor.

 

That poor Taxi guy. He was living his life, making something of it, and Carrie got him killed. Bitch.

 

And then Carrie calls Allison for a meet!!!

Wow wow wow. Everything from the hunt for Allison, to Carrie finding Quinn, and the thrilling stuff with Carrie looking around the train station while Allison commits multiple murders and shoots herself. Amazing stuff.

 

I wanted Quinn gone, but not this way! lol I wonder if he'll survive/get better.

Wow. Wow. Any thoughts on the latest season, anyone? I just watched the whole thing in an entire day and a half. Clearly, they rewrote some stuff about half way through. The storyline ended up reflecting what's going on in today's political world. I thought it was excellent, but a bit of a mess too, all the way through!! Thoughts??

 

I LOVE this show! So glad we have two more seasons to look forward to.

I'm still watching and loving the show. Those sex scenes were some of the hottest on the show to date. Morgan Spector is continuing the hot totty tradition this show loves to give. And that guy Carrie had an affair with and some of his friends were fit AF too. Carrie needs to teach a glass on getting good dick.

    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
    • There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.   2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  
    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

    • It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).
    • LOL!  He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.
