@AntonioSaucedo Forgiven! Don't chew my head off on the next full moon and I won't reap you unnecessarily. ;-)
@Kate Totally right on the homage to UK Being Human, but the writer's have sworn not to take story from there, so it gets confusing when they do. How could we NOT compare those two stories?
And Arya and Yara don't sound ANYTHING alike? They're two main characters. Sorry, I won't think of Asha as anyone but Asha. She's too important to the story to be changing her name. They didn't change Bran and Bronn for goodness sakes.
Thanks King In The North! I wanted to note that name difference but then I thought maybe they were pronouncing it different or something and by the end of my post I forgot to research it further. Asha isn't listed anywhere on IMDB and since I don't know what name he used, I don't even know what to look for. That was very unexpected. Good catch!!
Britten was hallucinating all over the place, I don't lend credence to putting his therapist into a real life situation more so than he already was more than that. When has his green doc ever been anywhere but in that room? Never. Who lives in a green world. What is WRONG with you, man?! hehe
I think September meant the Olivia she had become must die, and she is dying. My hope is that there is enough love to save who she was without Peter as well as who she was before.
Hey, guys, Sam had more life in him with his one night stand than he had the entire time with Addison. Would you really want him tied down to someone who wants something completely different out of life than he does? And you claim to LOVE Sam? Geez. Let the guy be happy without a woman with goals that don't mirror his own.
Meow....claws were out from the perfection squad. A simple request to change the mistake does just as well. Brigid Brannaugh has been cast on Shonda Rhimes new show about a hotel in the 1800s. I think she's been hoping to break free for a while. Much luck to a talented lady.
Oh, no @The Count - you don't get it. I LOVED Nora once she turned wolf. She turned hot and sexy and was full of possibility. That they tore her off the show just when she found her footing was not a happy moment for me. I'd rather she run with a pack and frak with Josh as a political play in the show than this Aidan crap. I'm not happy with Aidan's line AT ALL.
@The Count - I didn't even think about Suren's using Aidan to get Henry back and pretending to skin him. Interesting thought. Wish I was more interested in Suren to care. As it is, I'd be more interested in Aidan and Henry having an affair at this point. LOL
You know, Mere, what I found weird about the skinning was I thought Suren had already done it. I mean, Henry was screaming "just kill me" and such, but then 10 minutes later they showed him taking off his shirt again and her unwrapping the knife. Bad editing obviously robbed us of seeing the goo. They must have crinkled the film or something and didn't have time for a do-over. Hehe.
Suzanne - I guess what I don't understand is WHY Suren was pissed off that Henry was banging a chick in her room. Were they together? I thought she was with Aidan. That's the part I'm confused about. I remember him having sex and her eating the guests, but I didn't realize they were dating. When she came to the show they made it seem she and Aidan had some incredible love affair...that whole story just lost me. Obviously. ;-)
The demo ratings for GCB were pretty good, 2.2, and they held 88% of the Desperate Housewives key demo audience; best numbers in 5 months (bad news for Pan Am). Good Wife had the lowest ratings in the demo ever, at a 1.8. With the cable shows ramping up for arrival within the month, things will get even more unsteady.
I thought it was fitting they finally played the judge, jury and executioner card, as there is rarely an Armageddon written or played without that particular repercussion. You really do need to think about what is best for the personal tribe and sometimes that means killing the greatest and most immediate danger. Randall made bad choices, ran with bad people and since he would be the one who could lead a lot more bad back to the tribe, he would have to pay for those choices with his life. He may still. As horrifying as it is to kill under those circumstances, we did it all the time until a century or so ago. Kinda freaky to think about how often an "outlaw" was shot on the spot. I like the dark way it's turning. It feels far more real to me now. Finally they are getting that this isn't a game. The entire world has fallen and they need to do something to keep themselves alive, but still hold onto some humanity in the process. THAT makes for an interesting show.
She is a real family person and frequently visits her niece Emily here in Colorado, attending her sporting events and even singing the National Anthem. So nice when good people attain success in life.
Thanks Pleah - I had the hardest time with their two names. Richard, William, Robert, Matthew, Thomas...no unique names in the bunch! I have an easier time with Branson, Carson, Bates and the like. ;-)
Wait. I just saw the extended promo. And what they are doing to Nina (the one wearing the outfit and held captive with Olivia) erases everything I just said. She and Mr. Jones are NOT friends. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
@Cest The more I think about it, the more I think you may be right. Walter & Peter were definitely with Alt-Nina, but she may be a late player in the game and at a complete loss. They promise answers next week - let's hope this is one of them because I'm going to be driven crazy in the meantime, just speculating!
@CeS I don't think she was in a dungeon, so much as a crappy restroom type of place. Someplace underground. Just guessing, as I always do!
@nikidari If our Nina was replaced with a Shapeshifter, who cares? OUR Nina is still alive, if kidnapped with Olivia, and that is all I care about. If Alt-Nina is evil, she can equal a shapeshifter for all I care, because we never got to know her as we did the other alts, some of whom I dearly love.
I'm happy to report everyone I personally recommended to watch the show watched and loved it. Nobody worried about the camera work, the age of the mother (Joe Anderson was born in 82, Leslie Hope in 65, so they could very well be mother and son)or anything else for that matter. They all want the next episode. So yay! I'm sorry you all were so disappointed, as I stick with my reviews - I enjoyed the hell out of myself.
@Sa'ad702 The reason I said the psychic marked Dawn SO TO SPEAK was because by Dawn's tracking of the psychic left a physical slice on Dawn, similar to the slice we then saw on the psychic's neck.
@madison The Fayke hookup was a mere 20 second scene. It was in the recap instead of the review, but if it happens again, they'll definitely be a hot topic for TV Fanatic!
@hareinpa Struggling with book adaptations is very difficult when dealing with a TV series, because we have to look at them as separate for reviews.
Fate has it that Cassie is to lead the coven, but they just haven't done a good job on the show to prove her worth. She is self-centered and takes risks that put others in jeopardy. Faye does that, but I wonder if it's mostly because she's jealous of Cassie. Were they all closer and friendlier before Cassie's arrival? Maybe the books did a better job of making it all understandable, but last night just hit me that they would be better off without Cassie Blake.
