@janea4old I couldn't remember if you got the clip you were looking for so...

 

 

Normally I don't mind them but I think today I felt once Andre stopped to interview Ashley, the complete flow of the episode stopped and never quite recovered. Because before that, the episode was just clicking on by. 

 

I'll see if I feel the same once I rewatch.

I agree. Also love the idea of her being Laura's nurse. They did share scenes when Laura first got to the hospital after being run off the road so perhaps...?

I wasn't blown away by the fashions at the show and agree there weren't enough people there.

They tried to cover that with tight shots of the audience but some shots slipped through that showed the minuscule crowd.

They needed a minimum 10 extras to fill up some space.

Why weren't Vanessa or Pam there? Naomi and Jacob?

And I'm still pushing for a Dupree housekeeper. Someone to give Anita her jacket on the way out to the Gala. And spray Febreeze. No staff is ridiculous.

I agree! Ashley so far has been the Mary Sue/Wesley Crusher of the show. She has no flaws. All anything anyone has to say about her is how hardworking, caring, nice, pretty etc she is.

I like that we saw her screw up and be admonished by Dr. Flannery. Then we saw a flash of anger when she noticed Andre filmed the interaction. I wish the conflict had continued with Ashley insisting that Andre delete the footage. I also thought the actress had far more chemistry with the actor playing Dr. Flannery than any other male on the show so far.

Which is to say no chem at all?!!! If anyone on this show is a cypher Ashley is. Unpopular, I know, but I really can't care. I've tried specifically with Ashley but it's just not there. We are blaming Derek left & right but I'm not at all sure it is his fault. Don't get me wrong, Derek is awful. But, isn't Ashley on par with him? To me they both don't work. Time to cut bait.

Off topic but, personally, I never saw Wesley Crusher as a MarySue/GaryStu.  He seemed to have flaws like the rest of the crew. Different flaws, but flaws.

Back on topic, yes Ashley is the Mary Sue; so it was nice to see her finally make a mistake and not be cheery.  I had to laugh that she was upset at being discovered to be imperfect.

I think the show needs to use Andre exactly as he was designated: a playboy. Isn't a playboy just the male equivalent of a whore? Why is he just sleeping with Dani and pining for Ashley? Have him sleep with Shanice and a few recurring wanton bimbos just to have him live up to his so-called reputation.

I was also a Wesley fan, but I can see why people disliked him given that he began as a Gene Roddenberry self-insert and people tend to dislike child prodigies. I think Wesley became a more relatable character after "The First Duty," when he was finally allowed to have flaws.
