As if I won't watch that all over again after this hectic work day. lol.

 

Not going to lie. I watched this one a week or so ago. lol. I thought it was well done if funny. I am sure it's in my FAVORITES list, too. 

 

Technically no. But I do like it when soaps go for it at end of summer anyway. Keeps us fans on our toes.

Sonny killing Jagger point blank in cold blood totally undermines so many of his relationships from the 90s. Sonny is a monster and should be taken down as such. It's stunning that this character passes as a soap opera lead in this day and age, as the "good guy." But I guess the audience is so tiny, that there won't be much blowback, if any. That the producers think this is what that tiny audience wants to see though is amazing; it is not. Instead of having characters do the same trash over and over again, how about we see them evolve?

Well, what if this is the set-up to usher him off? He shoots a Fed. He is arrested & charged. He gets bail.

Brennan told Jason he would want something from him & they would talk again. Jason goes to Brennan to see about him breaking Sonny out & making him vanish into thin air, i.e. he & Brenda go to some country with no extradition treaty.

So, for that to be remotely possible: Jagger had on a bulletproof vest & is fine. Sonny was only charged with felonious assault & attempt to kill. Diane gets him a sweet deal where he serves his time in a Federal white collar prison. He only serves 5 years of a 15 year term & when he gets out, Brenda is in a white limo with a driver waiting for him ... Nearly the End.

Yup.  Groveling levels of hard work.  I absolutely want those two crazy lovebirds ending up together in the end.

It's just really hard for me to buy that any sane, successful woman in 2024 would still want Sonny.   The show would need to at least try to reform him.

I doubt it's happening anytime soon.  I really do wonder where Sonny as a character is going.  He seems pretty unredeemable right now if Jagger is truly dead.

I want a cake and eat it too ending for Sonny. Let him and Brenda reunite. They have their third wedding, happy couple stuff for a few months while we create a life around Brenda. And then boom- someone wants the territory, Sonny is shot and killed protecting Brenda. He can even take out the shooter too for MB’s ego.

That leaves us with Brenda picking up the pieces, and exploring why she keeps ending up with men like this while hating their violence (Sonny, Luis Alcazar, Balkan’s son, even Jax is kind of dangerous with his brother around).

Speaking of Sonny- I can’t stand him. But if he is going to be there, I would rather he be what he is, a remorseless killer. No pillar of the community mobster. And him killing Jagger was fine with me. The actor was wasted on a role that was history in name only. That’s not his fault. End result is the same to me though.

I will give the new team credit, it’s been consistently watchable since Kristina threw Molly and TJ’a baby out the window. While it is lacking in deep characterization and beats are being skipped again, it is very watchable.

I have felt this way since AJ and crypt sex with Ava.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
