I agree. I also felt that the story was a bit rushed, which I think was more to due with the plotting of the first few episodes. A lot of time was wasted on the Lord Berbrooke plot line, and then there was a rush to have Daphne and Simone marry, when more could have been teased out between Prince Friedrich. From "An Affair of Honor" onward the show fast forwards by light speeds, with several beats and plot lines raced past. There were probably behind the scenes impacts to this -- they only had so many episodes to order for the first season, contracts were only for 1 season, etc. But the first 8 episodes honestly could have been 2 seasons. The season finale could have been Daphne and Simon being married, after an extended love triangle with the Prince, and the second season could have been Simon and Daphne's marriage problems. Once the mid point of episode 4 hits, the show's entire pacing is just off.

    • I understood it very differently. To me, she was saying that their love was an awakening.  Obviously, she loved Roman and their twins, as well as Don.  But, John revealed something to her that she had never seen before.  I actually think it is a lovely, and very optimistic, idea to think that one's third marriage could be special because you met each other at a specific time in your life. Of course, John was only her third husband if you don't count Eugene and

      (aka the husband nobody mourned).  If you choose that definition, John was also her 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th husband.  However, I believe it was @carolineg who reminded us that in polite society, friends just say Happy Anniversary, and don't mention the years in between.

    • disagree on all counts To me it's obvious that what Marlena meant was that she was already a complete person within herself before meeting John; but after meeting John her life blossomed to a new level she hadn't known before. I don't think she was bound to John as back and forth caretakers. I think she and John were true equals. Roman loved Marlena in his own way but he was somewhat patronizing at times.
    • I agree that she looks good.  I wasn't slamming her, her age or her looks in my last post.  I was just commenting on the fact that her wardrobe and hair gave me Susan Sullivan/"Dharma & Greg" vibes, lol.
    • I'm sure he's going to have them - ideally not in a way that is rushed or perfunctory.
    • This must have been the week the final episode of "Newhart" aired.
    • Chance aged normally from 1988-2001 but I think he was aged a bit with his 2009 return as a war veteran and police detective.
    • I could see Liz not caring too much about the Gio reveal, but Lucky covering for Kristina almost killing people, herself included, deserves a reaction.  Lucky hardly even knows Kristina.  And the conversation just ended with Lucky going to make dinner, WHAT!!?  Maybe both Lucky and Liz are high on her painkillers lol.
    • Or at least talk about where he went after he mailed that letter 
    • I cannot believe what a mess the Liz/Lucky writing is. It all seems like an afterthought and plays like filler. Liz is written like she's on a ton of pain medication and is in lala land. During the Nurses Ball, she acted "Oh, well" about the Gio reveal. Now she's "Oh, well" upon hearing what Lucky thinks of Kristina cutting the brakes on Rick''s car.
