AMC: Week of August 19, 2013 Discussion

[DramatistDreamer]

I had her on Ignore (she was the first and only person on that list), so the only time I got to read her rants and declarations was when she was being quoted by another poster. Sorry to see it come to that, but she was consistently monopolizing these AMC threads and for no good reason. Can't speak for anyone else but I found it more than a little annoying.

For those of you who do miss Linda, she's on SOC We did get a couple of good memes out of it all, though.

I am glad Celia did go to someone. I am not sure I want a Crazy Celia. I think JR or Jesse losing their marbles would be more interesting and I think the actors would do a better job.

How the hell is she still on SOC while managing to get banned on here?

They've got to be the most overly sensitive board I've ever seen.

She'd fit right in on SZ, thought, and that's a compliment to all parties involved.

I was tempted to ask her what Jesse had to do with anal and if that was something that involved he and Zach

[ThisIsHeavy]

For some reason her SOC posts are not as ridiculous or frequent. No accusing SOC posters of not being true fans, or ranting about Ginger Smith hating the black man over there.

Anywho I was all excited for the big Oliver reveal but then I realized that it will only activate David's "I have been wronged" crazy-mode. I just want David to keep up his somewhat rational behavior for a while longer (mostly because it makes Jesse's outbursts that much more entertaining).

[Steve]

Am I the only one who reported her to a moderator? She was also the only poster I ever had on Ignore and I was sick of seeing her posts anyway when she was quoted by someone else. I'm relieved we can all get back to talking about AMC rationally now, even if we disagree.

I encountered her on AMC's Facebook page and it was more of the same nonsense. But her stuff on Twitter is downright scary. Hundreds and hundreds of tweets to Debbi Morgan. "Do you and Darnell hang out? BFFs should hang out." "What kind of peanut butter do you like?" "Have you gotten new scripts?" "Jesse needs comfort and love badly." On and on and on.

[marceline]

Jeebus, that's unfortunate, especially since Debbi is so cool on Twitter.

[Wizzerkat]

Well, I think we can assume Debbi is savvy enough to ignore those "oddball" people on Twitter and elsewhere. Just think if DARNELL was on Twitter?? He would need Twitter security! LOL

Enjoyed this week's first ep- the montage at the end was really nicely done. I really really liked Cara on ABC and oddly enough like her much less here, which is kind of a bummer. I'm warming up to Dr. Anders more and more each week- I know Dixie is the short term but I wonder if maybe chem testing him with Colby could work down the line. Also we've had enough of a break from Cass that I'm looking forward to seeing her again as we end Season 1.

And because I couldn't resist checking out the Twitter just once

@LindaTNo110h

I am LindaTNo1. I am reading what everyone at SON is saying about me. I don't have hundreds of tweets to Debbi Morgan BTW. My tweets to Debbi Morgan are not downright scary

[ThisIsHeavy]

So we know Miranda is moving in with someone, after these last set of episodes I kind of thought maybe it might be Celia, still leaning on Zach, but Celia is also a possibility IMO.

[Wizzerkat]

Zach doesn't live in PV anymore does he?

[ThisIsHeavy]

I think he does. IDK

Episode 55:

Eric Nelsen broke my heart when his face crumpled as he turned away from J.R. Just amazing scenes. He wasn't too theatrical - he was just that good. Just heartbreaking and vulnerable, a kid. Really wonderful, layered story with so much history and thematic resonance, especially when A.J. said "all you have ever been is a disappointment to me," something J.R. has heard a thousand times - from his parents. J.R.'s endless, paranoid rant about Brooke was just sad, and A.J.'s face perfectly reflected my feelings - just dismay and disbelief.

Another scary, well-done nightmare with Celia with solid FX work the TV soaps don't seem to know how to do. They've done these well all along down the line on AMC, both with Celia and Cassandra. The montage with the objects/pictures, etc. was also good. I was glad Brooke and Dimitri didn't go for the kiss. I think that needs time.

Leticia/Carmen/whoever and her stinkface are hilarious. The jury remains out on Dixie and Anders.

Very good episode, as always. I just am still mildly concerned about what will become of the show when this HW team exits. I hope it'll be a smooth transition. I have to say the way these AMC shows are put together also highlight the deficiencies in the sometimes patchwork show that is OLTL from day to day. If OLTL's not patching over Roger Howarth's availability and slotted-in scenes, it's moving a few key storylines in stop-start fashion, while characters like Rama, Natalie, Jack, Destiny, Blair and Téa, etc. waft from scene to single scene. That improved near the end of OLTL's first season for Blair, Téa and Nat but still not enough. OLTL started out strong and then had an uphill battle for BTS reasons, but I really hope it can find its way to the kind of largely consistent cohesion (minus a few continuity errors) that AMC has.
