Here we are! I have a lot to do today and won't make the show. Too bad because I want to see Ava and Ric after glow. That was ONE GIANT OLD FASHIONED SOAPY SCENE!! Just lust.
It's interesting that when I think the show is moving along and there are entertaining things happening a lot of people think the opposite. I really wonder if some of it is because of age differences and what we watched as teens. Just an idea. I mean, a good story is a good story but my pacing and dialog expectations might not match others. I like a mine spicy and having a good villain around (cartoonish or regular) not all good people. A lot of us "vets" have also seen stories over and over again (See Jason as Baby-Daddy) and are either sick of them or can guess exactly what's going to happen along the way.
Oh, I do want to point out the Tracey/Carly scene was unexpected and I didn't hate it.
I want to be entertained and to FEEL something that tugs at my heart. Just finished re-watching the episode in which Oscar is ready to let go and dies and Edward and Lila are waiting for him. The writing for these young actors and the delivery of their scenes beats any of the trash we're being force fed today. The show had a heart. Today's show has a garbage disposal for a heart. It's not about the actors - it's about the writing. I recognize it's a 5-day a week show. I'd settle for episode like this every 2 weeks. But we don't get that. I can only hope and pray they'll do Leslie Charleson justice. We all remember how there wasn't much of anything when Alan died.
