Sunday Surgery: Popcorn

 

So, what do you think? Most people saw Friday as a "NEW" Day Dawning, even though DandC's credits were still there. I've been getting vibes all week-- especially in the mob/FBI story. I have to say, Mon-Thursday dragged for me for sure. Just having hope things work out.

POPCORN You say?? Well, vaping and watching the show have that in common. Get some and have a seat! 

SCENE OF THE WEEK:  One thing I KNOW was written by the past regime was the history and lore of Lois' wedding dress. LOVED It. Didn't love the whole Brook tries on the most hideous dress on earth but the discussion and everything else was perfect. Jane Elliot is a treasure. The whole Chase/Prenup part wasn't really needed but I'll allow it because everything else was great. 

CRYING OF THE WEEK: Get Nina off the begging for Sonny Train. I've seen so many women do it in the past, I don't care if she ever gets back with him. Nixon Falls and Sonny as Mike is over and done. Everyone's made that clear. Boring. Stop. Thank you. 

WATER LEAK OF THE WEEK: I Like Spixie. They fit and have a history. Maxie's been doing nothing for awhile now and this at least gets her some comic relief now and then. I did love when she and Felicia talked about all her mess-ups. Only problem is, St. Jaysus will be back and well, there goes Spinelli! Worshiping and fawning and mobbin' it up. 

LOOK of THE WEEK: GOODNESS-- Oh my my my. AVA. :THUD: BE still my heart. Maura's been wasted for so lone it was a joy to see her pop back to life Friday. She's a JEROME of the JEROME CRIME FAMILY and she basically tells Sonny she's going to the meeting. BOOM. PERIOD. She also looked at Sonny like she was in lust for real. Then again, it's Ava--maybe she's behind all this. Then she and Wu can take over PC and put some Studio 54 type clubs around town. So many possibilities. 

KAREN OF THE WEEK:  SO, who did this? It was earlier in the week, used great history and actually made some sense.  I personally don't think we need Jagger as a character but it does bring up some good points about just HOW MUCH of a dick Sonny used to be. Anna even said to look at Sonny differently to "take him down later" so at least her fawning all over him might stop at some point. 

EVA LaRUE OF THE WEEK: Ah, nice to see her face and doesn't she look fantastic? Blaze came out to her all in one tiny scene so...?? I guess that's that? It was done like they had to make some deadline LOL.  Good acting all around. I don't see a lot of chem with Blaze and Kristina but, whatever. 

PARTY AT THE Q'S OF THE WEEK: For some reason, Carly has taken over the Q kitchen and was setting up for Scout's party. None of the Q were actually there and I totally forgot Drew lived there. LOL.  Pink was the theme. Cake looked fabulous. 

PSA OF THE WEEK:  I have been asking FOR MONTHS about vaping (as a semi-joke) and HERE IT IS!! Danny, the now 'black sheep' for sneaking out and drinking and now vaping. Older bro Jake takes it and puts it in his back pocket. You know Liz is going to find that thing and fast. Then we can get a whole lecture about the dangers of vaping!! I still say they need a young dialog writer. It's just SO cringe. 

JULIAN JEROME PLAID OF THE WEEK:  Joss finds Dex in 2.2 seconds in some shanty town and they make ze wub. She wants him to come back to PC so badly she doesn't even care he might be 'offed'. Dex refuses until Michael calls him and tells him 'SONNY NEEDS YOU' .. ahaha. 

I NEED YOU GONE OF THE WEEK: Whatever "This" Is.. it's just ... not working. BYE

SO, things have shifted for sure and part of me was so bored this week, I could have cared less about the show. Friday perked up but the dialog was a confusing mess, especially when either Sonny or Anna were discussing the 'mob plans'. Trying to figure out how Li being in the hospital was going to lure out the head assassin was baffling. Then the whole convo about how to trap the guy from the FBI end was too. DEX is gone for about a day, we know Jason's lurking around, Ava's back in and all of this will lead to??? 

One more detail: WHY are Michael and Carly acting like Sonny's a dottering old fool? If we had seen Sonny slip up on some things or even being a bit confused, it might make sense. Now? It's like they are just looking for stuff to 'keep tabs on' and to 'help him out'.  

SO, Monday will start the Jason-Transition and I will be interested to see how the show progresses. I'm sure there will be things I Love and things I Hate. (as usual). Hope springs eternal when there are new writers. 

Cheers.
