I can't help but wonder what a Gabrielle/Max/Luna triangle would have been like--THAT would have been the REAL triangle, more than Luna/Max/Blair or Gabrielle/Max/Blair, and the fan wars might have even put the T&Bers vs. TnTers to shame.

I always think if Max & Gabrielle had ever truly gotten back together, Gabrielle probably would have asked him how he felt about her now compared to Luna, and if he would have gone back to her if Luna hadn't been killed, Because you know she would be thinking about this, and it's a legitimate question, too.

I do remember, back in 2002, when Roxy was trying to endear herself to Max, Max saying in a scene to Al that Luna was the true love of his life, but it didn't mean that he didn't love his mother--he did, but it was different.

Um...Backhanded compliment, much?

Who's to say they would have been together much longer if she hadn't been killed, anyway?

I know Luna fans/Max & Luna fans might have found that insulting if Max ever verbalized that, but again, I think it's a legitimate question.

At times I feel like Stephen Schnessel (?) was the main person who "got" Gabrielle. She had some extremely complex, strong writing in 88-89 which Fiona played beautifully. After this Gabrielle seemed to start going way off track as a character - for instance, the idea of her pursuing Cord, then sabotaging Max's newspaper business, and other stunts. I guess this wasn't any more ludicrous than the time she spent with Michael Grande wearing Dial H for Hero outfits, but it seemed like around 1990 her stories became more and more about plot.

I do wonder what Gottlieb/Malone would have done with her - there was no one like her on the show at that time. It's like one part of her character went to Mia Korf's Blair and the other part went to Alex.

That's the impression I get, too--I haven't seen every single clip of her from the late 80s, but even just based on the coffee table book, it DOES seem like she was too much of a villainess by late 1990 (even if you argue that thinking she lost Max in that car crash had her turning against God, and getting him back only made her more protective to the point that her moral compass was all but gone) --and she was really an anti heroine at heart. The baby switch storyline, I think, showed the true essence of what her character was. I think some of it was still there during her second stint, too, but some would say she became too nice. So, I'm not sure.

It does seem like some of her personality went to Blair, and one can even argue the more innocent side from the Argentina days went to Luna. Almost as if Max went after two women who had two sides of one particular woman--and if that one particular woman had shown up with both those women around (or at any other time), they would have been afterthoughts very quickly (which is essentially what happened when she returned in 2001--even when Max rejected her later for her part in Asa's scheme, I don't think he ever really stopped loving her up to when he left town for good--I think their friendship in 2003 says it all on his part).

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
