AMC - Friday - September 23, 2011

Yep they can say Zendall went on their trip, Erica went to do her movie and so on and so forth. One gunshot IMO is better than 6 or 7. I still think JR killed himself, that would be the ultimate act in his eyes, that would hurt them more than if he killed Marissa or Binks

I feel like they filmed some more already with most of the cast at the party that they'll air online

[SFK]

Exactly, and with JY officially off to B&B it would be very simple to say J.R. turned the gun on himself. Meanwhile, him accidentally shooting Angie is totally unacceptable.

I am so looking forward to seeing how they pick this up and I can't shake this idea of J.R. shooting himself in the face and coming out of the bandages looking like Mark Lawson.

Erica Kane & All My Children are both trending on twitter

[ER Tosh]

Yes that is the part I do not understand. How will most of AMC's fans know about the PP show?

[OLTL_fan]

I think JR shot himself too. It makes sense.

[R Sinclair]

I am emotionally dissatisfied. Yesterday, they played the perfect notes struck the perfect chords which is what I look for in soap opera. Today was just like an empty build to a confusing attempt at a cliffhanger. I wasn't left at the edge of my seat in suspense... I was just left... "Is that it?"

[JaneAusten]

Well they definitely did not destroy JR. They can recast or bring him back which they really couldn't do with some sort of mass execution.

On the flip side I don't know if the cliffhanger is big enough to entice people to tune back in in a few months but I guess it depends on how well they promote it

[All My Shadows]

Did they HAVE to end with a gunshot? Damn. Couldn't JR have been touched by the sight of all of these people together, Tad's speech, etc, and just come out with the gun and fainted from all of his inner turmoil? Cue the violins.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I'm wondering who is dead. It's got to be Erica. She was right in front of the gun while chasing after Jack.

Also. Jackson Montgomery finally grew a pair! After all these years he finally grew a pair! It's a miracle!

[All My Shadows]

Yes, and it's hard because it just felt like, for the whole hour, they were building up to SOMETHING. But damn...that's it?

[JaneAusten]

You know I like ML but if they recast down the road I really want them to go in another direction with JR.

Digesting this episode, the strongest part was Erica I think. Her final scenes were really strong and soapy and true to her character. The rest I think was done a disservice by the superfast editing combined with one measly day to tell the story. The Adam and Stuart scene yesterday was 20 seconds long, today's Stuart and Marian scene even shorter. Adam and Dixie got ten seconds more or less. There was just no time to let scenes develop so we could soak in some real history. Stuart never even got home to his own party. It was a cliff notes ending, and while I loved the sentiment behind the notes, I wish we had gotten actual stories in the scenes instead of headlines.

[BingCherry]

Of all the soap finales that have come in the last 10 or so years, I'd definitely rank this #1. Without a doubt.

I hope we see a sexy, manly, older, taller JR come out of the psychiatric ward a few months from now. Just say No to JR suicide!
