SO many say that and I have to agree. lol.

 

lol yup

 

Oh man, that one's a keeper!

 

So many plotholes this week lol. Ron threw this together and it's nice to see some folks on social media finally starting to acknowledge this. 

 

And also this week goes to show they have it in them to put on a better show than they do. Just saying. Not that I've loved everything. Some of the acting has been awful. But the show's looked pretty good! lol

They must have new directors.  Some of the shots have been much tighter, like esp. in hallways... which makes it much realistic that these people are actually in hallways lolol.

 

But this week was very well produced.  My only gripe was that we needed music for the births, Haley's fall, and esp. the crash (and the lead up).  With the budget restrictions, visually, that's all they could do with the crash... but some suspenseful music and lots and lots of fast cutting back and forth between Will, Sonny/Justin, Adrienne/Sarah, and Xander would made such a bigger impact.  But the call between Sarah & Xander before the crash was perfect--LG & PT couldn't have been better all week.  LG's Sarah can really annoy me, but after this week, I really understand why they've invested so much in Sarah/LG.  And with Haley's fall... it was great, but they played it like any other scene in the episode.  After what they invested for those shots, I would have made that THE scene of the episode lol.  But all in all this was a very well produced week; it took him a while, but Greg Meng seems on-point visually, even if the character rotation is still jarringly uneven (because of guarantees and scheduling).

 

For the writing... it was sloppy, but really classic soap.  I just don't know how everyone's gonna move forward from this.  Summer still could've caused the accident, right?  Lol.

 

And one of the changes I think I would have made to the format was instead framing each episode with a "present day" at the top... I would have started each act with that with a specific character recalling whatever, to really give everyone a point of view... but maybe that would've been too much lol.

 

But next week should not be Gina/Stevano heavy.  This show is schizophrenic with who they feature... they're gonna lose a ton of momentum with the reveal--next week should be mostly baby switch and Wilson.  Thank God Ben wasn't in the promo lolol.

The sad part is that this is probably them "investing" in this weeks episodes, when in all honestly this is what the show should be aiming to look like all the time. It's sad to remember when "investing" usually meant stuff like Greta's coronation massacre, now it means shooting in an actual hallway / office and hiring a stunt double instead of tossing a blow up doll down the stairs.

      It's tough for me because I feel like this has always been Lulu. She used to be even worse, slut-shaming, verbally abusing other women, and always being written as being in the right. They should let Brook Lynn get dirtier, but I think the material of Lulu digging and being self-righteous, making everything worse even while not intending to do so, but also not being as in the wrong as Dante thinks she is, all makes sense for her. But I don't have as much experience with Lulu as a lot of fans as I just could never stomach her beyond the time she was a mute kid, so I don't have much right to speak.

      I think the writing is slanted against Lulu.  I don't think there is an issue with the character in general.  I just think Lulu comes doesn't get many layers or nuance in her writing.  Lulu becomes obnoxious and a bully to Brook Lynn and both characters SHOULD have flaws.

      Amanda Setton and Rena Sofer was once again really good in today's episode.  As a Lucky/Liz fan, I didn't like their scenes either.  And they are nowhere near a proposal because they haven't been given a real story.

      I don't think Lulu is written that badly.  Lucky they do seem to have no real interest in. I wonder if this is another story they have decided to wrap up abruptly as it makes zero sense to have what would have clearly been serious conflict between Liz and Lucky just get shrugged off by her. Maybe the intense viewer negativity toward Kristina got through to them.

      This is what kills me about the complaints that the show is moving too slow. I don't think any of the other soaps has revealed as much as BTG has in the same time frame. Not only are stories moving but it's rotating as well. Y&R has been teasing that Dumas character since February with no reveal in sight. B&B was one day for the majority of May with very limited storylines. GH had a strong final week of May but the storylines had been dragging for months prior to that. I appreciate that BTG doesn't focus so much on recapping and keeps the stories moving. I have anticipation about certain ones like Martin and Anita's secrets but I'm not worried about it because the writers have proven they will keep these stories moving at a strong pace.

      John and Marlena's love story is over. 

      Please register in order to view this content

      As I started watching in 1993, and they became my favourite couple because of storylines like The Affair, Maison Blanche, The Possession, Aremid, and The Secret Room - just five straight years of amazing stories.  The funny thing is, in all of those stories, John and Marlena were never truly together, but I was fine with that because I knew how much they loved each other - Deidre and Drake just had so much chemistry and made it so believable.   Deidre was fantastic today, especially in that last scene where Marlena told John it was okay for him to rest now.  I agree with @j swift, that having a body for Marlena, and everyone else, to say goodbye to was the right choice, as well as just having Marlena there alone as John dies.   Marlena: John, I love you so…. John: I love you too, Doc. Marlena: I need you to listen to me.  You have put up the bravest fight I have ever seen. The thing is I….I know you’re weary, I know you’re suffering…..If you need to go, it’s okay. I know that you’re worried me, about the children….You have given us all the love we will ever need. We will always have you in our memories. We will always hold you in our hearts. So…it’s okay if you rest now. You can rest now.   Bo and Hope are my second favourite couple, so for them to be part of this episode made it even more special.  I loved the inclusion of Zack - in the flashback and in the family scene at the Brady Pub.  John dies and Bo wakes up.  Two great love stories intertwining and showcased (loved the flashbacks!) in today's very emotional episode.     Great recap @Bright Eyes
