Lulu/Lante mean nothing to Craptini. This is all about Pet# 4, Dr. O! Lulu obsessing over the baby "validates" the ridiculousness of releasing an international criminal, kidnapper, attempted murderess, etc in exchange for an embryo. If we see Lulu foolishly but passionately obsessing over babies, the audience, as dumb as we are, will believe O's release was an equitable exchange. Well, do you?

An affair in this marriage or some sort of trouble is long over due, but why now? We've put Lante thru the ringer the past year, and now an affair? This is just too stupid!

True, but never the fun kind of catty bitch.

If I were someone who was acquainted with the man and went over to his apartment, I would certainly think twice before touching anything or sitting down anywhere.

Let the church say "Amen".

The lousy Ball aside, Lynn Herring gave one of her best performances in years after she was caught onstage. She still knows how to balance the knife-edge between comedy and tragedy. And Marc Samuel is still funny.

LOL Cheap, I see that happening.

Why are they letting Geary play out this obvious ridiculous fantasy of his to play gangster? Oy.

And Chit, they'll have Dante have an affair now because of exactly what you said -- it wouldn't make any sense. So of course he will! Soapy goodness!

And I came to the Anna revelation today. Makes sense. I could see that.

    • Such a good interview. Looking forward to Ernestine interview.
    • Definitely. It's not bad at all, but yesterday was just an anomaly considering we haven't had an episode that bad before. 
    • I caught most of the episodes during that time period.   Subsequently Bell or Alden (I forget which) revealed that Peggy's rape story was done for strategic ratings purposes.  Chris's rape had occurred earlier, before the show really caught on & was near the middle or the lower end of the ratings.  Bell had been pleased with the concept and wanted the rape story to play-out for a much larger audience.  By the 1975-1976 season, the show was near the top of the ratings and was extremely popular among high school & college kids.  He felt the time was right to re-tell the story.   When I was watching in 1976, I didn't find it especially "cruel" that lightning had struck twice in the Brooks family.  I felt it was more of a continuation of Chris's storyline, giving her a chance to continue dealing with the trauma of her own rape.  
    • Dan being de facto HW explains a lot. It's clear the show changed direction on a dime according to his interests or whims.
    • Really enjoyed today's episode the whole way through. Having Drew and Nina as red carpet hosts was a brilliant move. You could really see Cameron Mathison channeling his own experiences as a TV host for shows like Entertainment Tonight, but putting a more sinister spin on the host's glib patter. And Cynthia Watros gave some amazing reaction shots during Drew's interactions with people like Carly, Joss, and Willow.  I also really liked the Alexis/Kristina scenes. I know a lot of us find Kristina exasperating, and she is, but Kate Mansi and Nancy Lee Grahn do a great job of portraying a very real dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. 
    • The episode she got killed off in - which made Wendy a prime suspect in her murder (her car was spotted outside the house) and then Wendy mysteriously disappeared from town. 
    • Norm!

    • What Dan Curtis never seemed to understand -- and what Art Wallace knew from the get-go -- is that a slow, suspenseful build-up creates a far more satisfying episode than the constant "cliffhangers" that never amounted to much.  ("I'm going to kiillll you, Julia!" before every commercial break, lol.)
