Members Cheap21 Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 I dont think she's a shrink. i took it to mean that she's a physical therapist. JR will need one after laying in a bed for 5 years. He may encounter trouble with movement as a result of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ahh, I hadn't even considered that. I like that much better. It's just when she started talking about how moving back into the mansion might be "triggering" for him, I assumed talk therapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Mmmmm... I like 'em thick! But seriously, Dixie's had several careers. She was a student teacher under Michael Delaney back in 1996 before she left. Then when she came back she was David's secretary which is what facilitated their affair. Then she died the first time. When she came back, she was running around town as a fugitive because Tad framed her and Zach for murdering Madden. Then she died. So, maybe within the last five years, she went into physical therapy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Trust me: you wouldn't want any of this. I make Jamey Giddens look svelte. So Dixie's a physical therapist now? Fine. At least she's getting a paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Nothing about that conversation Dixie had with Brooke made me think that Dixie is a physical therapist. It sounded more like counselor to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 I remember the teaching thing- that could have been interesting over the years. Haha Dixie is like Pine Valley's version of Barbie- tries all careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Dixie is like Val on KNOTS LANDING: no matter how hard they try, no career path aside from homemaker seems to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Liked Thursday's episode a lot! Rebecca Taylor, who I have said before now seems to be one of the best scriptwriters on the AMC staff, delivered another quality episode. Like the twist with JR hearing everything Cara said about not having had a miscarriage and abortion, and I agree that suggests he may be faking all his amnesia. I hope he is still genuinely remorseful and wanting to take responsibility though. Having not seen Billy Clyde before, I'm not as excited as others, but I do like nods to history. I'm concerned about what seems like may be a muddled message though -- seems like Billy Clyde will be a "less bad", "colorful" pimp compared to the Russians, and I'm not sure if that lessens the realism and impact of the story in terms of understanding what people forced into sex work go through. I do think they meant counselor/psychologist in regards to Dixie being a therapist. I liked Bianca's complicated talk with David about Marissa as well as her wanting to keep Miranda away from JR and Miranda resisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 13, 2013 Members Share Posted June 13, 2013 Just watched this a few hours ago. JR knowing all about Cara's secrets was a little ridiculous to me, but does put him in the middle of the story with David, which is probably a good idea. I thought Ryan Bittle was much better in this episode and seemed to have a grip on the character. Still don't care about Pete or Celia (the limo scenes outside were the first to give me Peapack vibes), and skipped the Cassandra scenes. Wonderful, wonderful work by Debbi Morgan in some of those last scenes. I liked the very complex Bianca/David scenes and the angst and mixed feelings of the Bianca/Miranda scene too. This is great soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 15, 2013 Members Share Posted June 15, 2013 Billy Clyde's reintroduction scene was vintage AMC! The greasy spoon setting, the hooker with attitude, the "sweet Jesus" Pentecostal, etc. Classic Agnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 16, 2013 Members Share Posted June 16, 2013 I couldn't understand what he was saying, but it was definitely an Agnes type scene. It made me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted June 16, 2013 Members Share Posted June 16, 2013 Wow, all this was a month ago? The pace since the switch to 2 episodes a week is slower than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 16, 2013 Members Share Posted June 16, 2013 It feels like a hundred years ago to me. When I finally get caught up I'm going to have one of those reactions where someone staggers into the sunlight in confusion and awe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
