I am jewish and I probably would have lowered my head. I don't even know if anyone is up there listening but it can't hurt and maybe it makes her kid feel better. I didn't see it as a religious thing, it never dawned on me I was watching a religious moment. Not being religious doesn't mean one is anti-religious, and this just seems like a custom that when in Rome do like the romans do. At least that is how I go with religion. If you put me in a church I will say the appropriate prayer for whoever died. If I am at a temple, I will say the hebrew prayer. I think the most important thing is not what my religion is but what the dead person's religion was. And if they had no religion then there should be no prayer.

ITA quartermainefan. And Whitney was raised in the church, the church in which her mother is still a choir director. LL did start the prayer with "Heavenly Father", but that imo is pretty universal speak for God even if he had the God of Christianity in mind. I really don't want to get OT, but it's interesting to me how all shows of religion/belief in a higher power have become such awkward, seat-shifting/eye-rolling moments. I mean, I get it when you're a rapper thanking your Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for your hit single "I Want a 'Bust All Up in Her Booty' Kinda Bitch", but I remember how some fans got so uncomfortable when Jonathan Jackson would thank J.C. when he won his Emmys for example.

well stuff like that always makes me want to ask "so Jonathan, why do you think Jesus wanted the other guy to lose?" Every athlete who wins insists Jesus was on their side, but that means he was actively rooting against the other guy. That would be pretty cool if Jesus had a TV somewhere and checked out the acting reels and made the call, but I am gonna need more research on that.

I never understand comments that say awards show are boring because I see them for every single awards show. LOL I love award shows! LOL

Though I do like Nicki Minaj's music, I thought her performance was horrible and so was her song (she has better songs on her album, so I have no idea why she chose one of the worst songs). I think that type of performance is more suited for the MTV Music Awards where it's geared toward the younger crowd and the performances are more outragerous.

Adele winning was obvious but well deserved.

I thought my Taylor Swift looked great and actually sounded good on television for once. LOL

Who/what was that act with the crazy mouse look and people were wearing the mouse ears? That was interesting.

I thought J-Hud tribute to Whitney was pretty good.

The guitar jam session at the end was so cool!

Just saw Minaj's performance. My cable was going out last night. Uhm, the acting in it was really bad, but I like that she put effort into doing something potentially interesting. A for effort, but C-/D for the whole idea and performance.

    • To their credit, the new writers are clever to stick to current events from the time they were taping, versus trying to predict current events at the time the episode airs.  Case in point, Susan and questionable choice to hop on a cruise two days after her son was shot, and the case remains unsolved, so her remains at risk...

      Although cruises around the world are not uncommon for Salem citizens like Julie, it seemed like the type of reference DOOL continues to like dropping into scripts for humor. Also, help me understand the Marlena and EJ interaction.  Didn't they come to a mutual détente earlier in the week?  I felt gaslighted, but I could've just as easily misunderstood Marlena's earlier talk to Belle, and then EJ. And is Bo in Boston (near Ceara) or Greece (where he was transferred after he was shot)?  I bet it is expensive to fly a coma patient transatlantically!
    • It was one of the bigger disappointments that Sarah wasn't part of the book. 
    • They clearly loved her offcamera. I wish I could appreciate her work more, but...I don't. Thanks for telling me what Levin said at the end. I still don't think Carney was bad, but I guess he would always see them as not shining compared to Kate.
    • Around 2002, when I would have killed Alan, I'd bring back Amanda, who would have a love/hate relationship with Philip mirroring Alan and Alex, I'd have a proper Alex recast, I might bring back Alan-Michael (and maybe Hope or Mike on recurring), and I'd bring in a long-lost son for Philip who would be around his late teens or early twenties.  I agree that Philip would still need a rival. That's where giving Roger another long-lost kid (not Sebastian) could have worked in this timeframe.
    • @ranger1rg @DemetriKaneI was sure I was swimming upstream alone on this. I get that they are all proud to be Duprees, but the writers are just overplaying it. Ted's an ass, but presumably, he's been a model husband for the last 25 (?) years...but he just isn't good enough (or can handle or whatever..) a Dupree woman? *cough* I guess the next "shocker" is whatever Vernon and Anita's secret is. I hope it's something a little more original than him cheating on Anita.
    • Yes, that was probably to he case. In  the book, after Malcolm Groome (Pat) said he dated Kathleen Tolan,  he said he saw her theater work and found her to be  "compelling and charismatic actress"  In one of Ilene Kristen's many video interviews promoting the book, she also praised Kathleen.
    • David knowing Burke was going to die and making sure to say goodbye to him was very unnerving. Some of the last moments where David Henesy's otherworldly vibes from those first few years are put to good use. I agree that the few months right before 1795 are excellent. They do a great job with building suspense and going through insane twists.  DS was never going to be able to have a long run anyway, with the high burnout rate and a number of principal cast not likely to stay, but I do wonder what might have been if they had done a better job with the present day after the return from 1795. 
    • Off of the Xander/Paulina scenes in Thursday's episode, I really hope that means we're getting Theo coming home permanently. I didn't really see much of Cameron Johnson in the role, and though he was pretty and I'm thankful for his occasional thirst traps on Insta, Kyler Pettis could not act, so a brand new recast would be fine by me, but if you all think Cameron doesn't a real shot, I'd be fine with that, too. I just want Theo to be taken seriously as a character for once and make his place on this show like he deserves. I was annoyed the second Susan showed up again, but I do admit it was interesting to see her reunite with Marlena and see their dynamic when EJ joined them. Hopefully now we're done with her forever. As for John, this last bit of hope Marlena is getting before the inevitable is already so devastating. This is going to be so hard to watch. Xander reminding the audience he IS a cold blooded murderer, point blank. Paul Telfer was devilishly terrifying. Taking off his jacket was such a sexy power move. That Philip doesn't have a permanent dent in his face will be a miracle. It'll be interesting if it'll just be the one punch or if next week will see Philip more battered and bruised. How bad are they going to make Xander look? I will say, the best part of this story is that I'm not rooting for one over the other. How Philip reacts to this violence will be interesting. I also liked how everything with stealing the drug ended up. Very messy. Steve even made me laugh at one point, and I've been indifferent to him for years. I hope poor Kevin doesn't get scapegoated, but it'll be nice to see him presumably reunite with Shawn next. We'll be really lucky if Belle somehow crosses paths with him, too.
    • I've really been enjoying seeing him/Smitty interact with other actors/characters
    • She didn't want a hotel room; doubt she's going to want the apartment room, either. There was no reason to re-arrange the other one. This was the most logical move.
