I'm watching AMC now and can see lots of kinks in the production that will hopefully be worked out, but overall it looks nice. My biggest problem is the acting, but I think that will improve once everybody gets comfortable. I think Jill Larson is the star so far. I thought Julia Barr was pretty bad. Not what I expected from her. I think she may have gotten some plastic surgery which is preventing her from emoting like she typically does. When AMC ended she was much better than this. Miranda was impressive, the other younger actors didn't do much for me but I could see them getting better with time.

Thank you :D

Nice way to wake up on my birthday by watching these two shows that mean a lot to me.

Final recap ....

I love Pete/Opal's relationship already.

Celia/Pete could have potential.

I like how it feels like AMC but it really does feel at least 'updated' and more 'natural and real' while still, to me, feeling like a soap.

The opening? It could use a bit of work. I like the song just fine but dammit I can't help missing the old tune, especially when I saw the book. Sigh. I HATE the names over the opening. I get why they did it, so it's fine, but without them I think the shots would look a lot better. It's not a bad opening it just needs some work.

AJ/Miranda ... I've gushed enough but I love them.

How weird we saw Dixie like what, once, twice? I'm glad for seeing so many people in an episode and it didn't feel too rushed overall.

The scenes of David getting out were good. Liked seeing him walk out and in the car/cab and the driver recognizing him. I like the use of extras and the location shooting.

So so very happy. Amazing potential. I'll post more coherent thoughts after I watch it about a bazillion times today.

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.
