Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I wasn't online yesterday and haven't gone through the thread yet, but this is both what I appreciated and what annoyed me about the Frat Row episode. Overall I hate to quibble at all--it was fun and a nice break from the current stories (I agree with whoever said they were disappointed we didn't get a special opening sequence). I was disappointed more of the cast wasn't used--you know cameos from people we never see like Renee, on the other hand it was a nice surprise we didn't see Rex and Gigi in any roles. It was almost entirely a spoof on Ron's own material, and at sometimes I have to say (boo me all you want) it actually wasn't very different from when Ron does his "comic" stories on One Life itself. And a part of me cynically almost feels like it was Ron being defensive--a sorta "F you--to those who complained how nonsensical and crazy my stories are--the shirtless guys, the convulated family connections, inherited DID, though Higley started that I guess, etc--Well this is how badly and campy I COULD have made them, so you should thank me...". But it had alot of great moments, and most of the actors seemed to be having fun. It also showed I think which actors are more limited than others--Easton tried to make his character different with constant "acting decisions" like the tennis moves, but he really wasn't playing a character any different from John despite all that, ditto the Ford brothers (no surprise), and as strong as I think Kassie is as an actress she really didn't seem capable of even doing a campy take on her character. Random, but for a long time on ATWT anyway didn't Roger say he wouldn't do shirtless scenes, or am I mixed up? It did look like he'd been working out, so maybe he wanted to show that off--of course Easton didn't take his shirt off (not that I minded...)

Members DRW50 Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think Howarth did shirtless scenes on ATWT. He didn't in his last OLTL years. I tend to share your views on RC so I just skipped the episode for now. I think next year I might be more inclined to watch that endless winking in place of actual writing.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I can understand your reasons for that. I really did enjoy it but it also served to remind me all over again about all the things I hate about RC's OLTL, if that makes sense... I forgot to say that I thought they missed a good opportunity to wink (or even be snarky) about AMC's finale by ending with the fight around the gun but not ending with a gun shot and us not seeing who was shot...

Members dragonflies Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 AT is utterly painful to watch trying to emote. He's like a younger Cameron Mathison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eyespy Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Jack is better suited as an actor on Fraternity Row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 For the hottest of seconds I thought, "If he's actually playing Neela right now, he is a damn genius and I will forgive the bad acting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I dont. She came back to town for Clint's money, not bc she wanted him. She's a gold digging skank and she needs to go back to the pole Oh boy, Jack why you gotta spill your guts to Neela? You barely know her Aubrey you are playing yourself. Do us all a favor and get lost I love the coloring of FF's hair. She looks really good today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 The only time I can stand Aubrey is when she is with Shane. Maybe I should ship Shane/Aubrey lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 This show. Is this Gigi or Stacey with plastic surgery and a voice change? Do I even want to know? Clint is a fool turning down Kim. He and Kim are golden. He and Vicky are played out. David is hilarious with his chipmunk impersonation. I love his friendship with VIcki.

Members dragonflies Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I loved David trying to comfort Viki. I think Clint & Kim have chemistry but something about them rings hollow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 If the show weren't ending I would want Clint and Kim back together. Get rid of that tape Neela!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
