Huge revelations. Its amazing how the show is so slow paced yet I"m hooked on every second to the point where my eyes don't wander to check my phone or anything except during commercials.

 

I def got the feeling the co-captain was bi/gay. Interesting development in terms of potential motives...Regina King was just hilarious and yet moving in her scenes with the son. I hope I can be that good of a parent one day.

I watched the first season almost until the end, before I lost interest. This season is so much better, and I find myself really invested in the rape victim.

 

Felicity Huffman's character is beyond despicable, almost to the extent that I want her humiliated and jobless by the very end of the series. I was so glad to see her look of shock at the very end of last nights episode. I hope they throw the book at her for her disastrous leadership throughout this season. She bullied a traumatized kid, and shamed the mother when something ugly happened at her school and now she will have to pay for it. I want her crucified for this.

 

Regina King is a fair second for most unlikable female character in this series, her entitlement and use of her influence and power are enough to make me want to spit nails. "Is there anything you can do for us", you should be thankful he is doing even this for you. Your son is a piece of trash, who isn't smart enough to tie his own shoe laces. You deserve nothing. "Boys' can't be raped", "is this being taken seriously?" I hate that there are real people who think like this. She is one of the driving reasons why I want her son to be persecuted for his events at this "party", in addition to his general stupidity. I'm glad his name is in the article, hopefully he loses all his scholarships, and he never gets into college or gets a job. Serve him right for his foolishness.

 

Don't know how to feel about the idiotic coach or Outkast in their roles. The idiotic coach seems like the guy to make a thousand apologies and excuses for "his boys" -- "He's a good boy, it's not about him", instead of actually upholding the moral right here -- which is that they never should have been drinking and they never should have been at a party with drugs. Outkast dad is unsettling me, I am not sure if he is so angry because he thinks his son might be gay or if he is angry about the legitimate righteous anger that his son was at a party where someone was sexually assaulted and his son led it.

I think you're being overly hard on Kevin. He's just a young stupid kid who's got too much power and stardom in his hands. Anyone would be as arrogant and cocky as he is. Same with that Eric kid.

 

I find Felicity Huffman's character both fascinating and crazy. I have a feeling tonights episode is going to be crazy.

I'm tired of youth being used as an excuse for people making decisions that hurt other individuals and just in general being a catch all release for being a general disgusting human being. Being young does not preclude someone to having morals and doing the right things. He should be punished accordingly for his role in the sexual assault case. He deserves to have everything stripped from him. I hope more tears come his way.

    • It's so jarring seeing the changeover from Sherry Mathis to Louan Gideon.  The vibe, mannerisms, and overall personality of Liza changes instantly. The chemistry Sherry has with both David F and Joe Lambie is gone the second the recast happens.  I wonder how viewers took the news of the recast since you didn't have time in between airings before the change happened. Quinn/Sarah... One overacts (Quinn) and one under acts (Sarah). Wendy of 1985 is a good mix of the 1982 sweet Wendy and the 1983/84 vixenish Wendy.
    • Oups!! I guess when i was doing the editing, i left a part of 3169, too (RTL Lounge airs 2 episodes per day back to back). Sorry about that ! Tonight i ll try to record 3171-3172. If i m not mistaken 3172 is missing from YouTube.

    • I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.
    • I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.
    • thank you all for contributing to the Vault. I am slowly getting towards watching the 1998 episodes

    • I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.
    • Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along. 
    • Nah I enjoyed it much more last year because of the Harry plot that ended during that time. Nazar being introduced and them. But this time it is so lame and nothing I like forward to anymore and I’m one of them long time fans. Of course I would be upset if they would cancel it but maybe take a year off or two and return refreshed
