I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it, but it wasn't too bad! Lana Parrilla and Jason Gedrick are in it, who were sooooo good on Boomtown (another excellent but canceled NBC series... imagine that :angry: ). Decent escape for the summer.

One thing, though... I'd like to know what Luke Perry's paycheck was for this. He's listed as the star but he was hardly in tonight's show.

I thought it was pretty bad. Boring too. Luke Perry looked award (I must have a 90210 hang over); I hated the fact that I could not relate to any of the characters, and didn't know any of the actors. I know new actors have potential but this group seems like B grade actors. I couldn't believe them at all. And the show seemed to flow so poorly, again, failing to draw any emotion from the viewer IMO. I heard somewhere that the show tried to get the LOST thing going with bringing together different groups of people and then focusing on their issues but not once did I get that from this show. It all seems so AMATEUR.

I liked it. A lot of characters, maybe too many. But can be a really good series if the storylines pick up. Luke Perry was a non-factor, which is a shame , lol. It's also ashame NBC kept this until the summer because it could've been a hit for them (Not bad ratings, plus would've done a lot better than some other dramas they had this year like Surface & E-Ring)

I loved the second episode ven better. Also it was a really good cliffhanger. So far my fave characters are Kimberly (pizza girl), Peter (Luke Perry), Nina (his wife), Beth (blonde wife), Frankie (teenage girl) and Damian (teen boy). I also like Damian's Russian wife. This show is impressing me. I hope it has a full season.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.
