Since it's leaving my system today, I went ahead and watched the anniversary episode.

 

I remember seeing some comments over it since I had stopped regularly viewing by this point. And now that I think about it, I might want to see the rest of the fallout from the Liz/Ric car crash cuz...LIZ...but outside of the historical moments...I didn't really feel anything...which has been unusual for GH anniversary episodes. I seem...dare I say it...half-baked.

 

We got a flashback for Lucy and her many dresses at the Nurses Ball, but no other flashbacks. We get a mention of Lesley and Monica and no flashbacks. Mentions of other legacy characters, but no flashback...but we can focus on shoehorning in the favor of the month. Or on Sonny propping. I did love the Tracy/Stella scene.

 

Which is a shame. I liked the idea behind it (dedicating a wing to Monica). I really loved seeing the recurring nurses because I liked both and wished they were in story more often. At least I got to see a lot of vets (hey, Mac, hey! and Anna looked really good), but that was more bad than good. And I expected more. But it wasn't an Elizabeth episode so...*shrugs*
 

 

Oooo now that I love.

 

I'm happy to at least hear this. Ava didn't deserve to look her money in the first place. And I haaaate the 'Ava is Broke' storyline.

I can see why people had issues with it. It felt like two different ideas trying to get out. And since those two ideas did not mesh well already, it was a mess.

 

Summed up perfectly by an event for a legacy character that everyone cared about being gimmicky overshadowed (and propped by another legacy character in order to get the audience on a specific side) by someone that had NOTHING to do with the themes/drives of the episode.

He'll probably turn out to be an ecoterrorist who holds Emma and Joss hostage in a few months, but for now I'm enjoying Daniel Goddard's professor character. As a college professor myself, I was on his side immediately when I saw his bemused reaction to Joss. We've all been there with the student who misses the first three weeks of class then confidently tells us that she's sure she can catch up.

English and Communications. Sadly I haven't gotten to teach a course in Television Studies yet, but I have gotten to direct several senior theses on TV. I've got a student right now who's writing on the representation of food and eating on Gilmore Girls

Back to GH, has Nurse Amy always been so annoying and cartoonish? I've been cringing through her scenes this week, especially knowing that she's the show's only representation of a plus-size woman.

I remember Shell Kepler's character Amy Vining fondly, but she always seemed like a real person, even as she was being used as a plot device to spread gossip around the hospital. These were often fairly comic scenes, but Amy Vining was rarely the object of ridicule like her namesake Amy Driscoll was this week.

This version of Amy is apparently written by people who heard of Amy Vining but who never saw any of her actual scenes.

-- Diane's wigs continue to be hilarious.

-- Mo continues to struggle like effing crazy with his dialogue. So what's the GH answer? Put him on the air every day.

-- Anna's defense of Sonny being friends with Laura continues to be a complete embarrassment.

-- Laura is just as pathetic for her continued "friendship" with the town's murderous mob boss.
