We all fail. Just sayin.

Soo, it's been a really long time since any of us posted. Which is lame because GH has been getting good lately, and JaSam have been awkwardly awesome. I have no excuse, as I do absolutely nothing all day every day. But, whatevs, I'm posting now.

So, carnival, fuckawesome. I love it. Friday's episode was fun all around. The dunk-a-hunk was great. Everyone was totally cute in it. Even people who I usually find boring (Scrubs) and people who I usually hate (Sonny). Molly is totally my girl. She cleaned up. Plus we got to see some very sexy men in wet t-shirts. (Not included in the sexy category? Ethan. Ick, Milo Ventimiglia crooked-faced lookalike. No offense Nathan Parsons. [Haha, yeah, there's no way that's not offensive. Sorry dude.]) The whole carnival was just all-around fun, and I know we're gonna get to the dramz on Tuesday, but for now, I'm going to revel in the happy times of all the cast just chillin' in the same vicinity and having a good time. Big thumbs up, GH. (Niz/Becca/Lucky the doof fails, but that was very minimal.)

My new love is Dante/Lulu. They are unadulterated chemistry and adorable. Dominic Zamprogna seems to have chemistry with everyone he is in a scene with. He's fantastic, and the writing team is actually doing a fantastic job with a newb for once. It's weird to like Lulu this much, especially when i want to poke Maxie's eyes out half the time, but I'm just gonna go with it cause Dante/Lulu make me smile big time. I love the playfulness, and, I don't care what any character says, Dante's cockiness is nothing like Sonny's. His is totally a playful, self-deprecating cockiness. It sexy and sweet. I also totally loved the Lulu/Carly/Olivia girl talk. GH doesn't do fun stuff like that enough. Dante/Lulu and Dante himself are pure awesome.

And, of course, I can't post after this long without mentioning the total love and sex and squee that is JaSam. The love scene was sexy in JaSam's usual understated way. Honestly, the first day of it, with just him cleaning the grease off of her and the kiss was hotter than the next day with the shirtless and everything. Although, straddle kiss and neck kissage was definitely hot in its own right. The whole thing was just fantastic straight through to the awkwardness then and the awkwardness now. They're so totally in love and they don't know what to do with themselves. Jason can't be in the same vicinity as Sam without wanting to devour her. He looks at her with total sex in his eyes. Poor boy has been left with blue balls every day this week. I love my old school JaSam, but did we need to bring back the interruptions so thoroughly?

I can't wait for next week.

PS, and also, he wants to go with *her*. Gah. Love.

Ok. That's all. I'll try to be better about posting.

Interesting shift

So, I was pretty happy with GH on Tuesday and Wednesday. I got some great JaSam, and some Sam with her family. I love it. I think we've finally caught up to KeMo as far as filming schedule goes, so, other than her Africa thing, I think we're good to go on that front. So I was pretty happy through mid-week.

And then came Thursday. And I was a very unhappy camper. It probably was partially to do with me being super tired, slightly hung over, and already a little pissy. (I'd had about a million travel fiascos on my way back to the burbs from the city.) But I was not interested in a single thing that was going on. Every story line was boring me to the point of anger. I turned the whole thing off ten minutes early and deleted it.

On Friday, I was poised to delete without watching unless someone told me Sam was on. She was, and I think that's fortunate. I still am completely uninterested in every story line, but I made a discovery. I'm not hating on the characters so much right now. With the exception of Sonny, who is just a scum bag, I'm pretty ok with them. I don't love them all, but no one is making me want to light myself on fire. Just the writers are doing that.

Michael is actually not letting everyone around him coddle and spoil and justify for him (though Mac is an idiot, they had literally nothing to arrest him on), so for now, I'm ok with him. I'm still wary, cause my hate for that one was strong. Claudia, I'm feeling sympathy for (good job, SJB), so, while I don't expect a sudden change right now, I don't hate her. Kristina is doing the wrong thing, but I can understand her, and I loved her stuff with Sam yesterday. The only person I really hate is the Mayor's wife, and I'm supposed to.

It's not all sunshine and bunnies, obviously. I'm sure when Spixie comes back, they'll continue to annoy me. Same for Rebecca and Ethan. I wish Jason would have told Sonny where to go when he told him to go "break up" with Olivia. And Olivia's insistance on destroying the hotness that is Jolivia for whatever she's feeling about Sonny is obnoxious. (Not to mention Sonny himself.) But that's all pretty minor considering I usually hate just about everyone. Of course, I hate the plots, and the writing sucks, but, you know, one small step. And I'll cross my fingers that the writers will take a few more.

Random love? Johnny was adorable with Morgan.

Also...

I forgot this in my last post, but it made me laugh. The following is a conversation with my brother while we were watching the last JaSam segment today.

Brother: Are they gonna do it?
Me: *sighs* Probably not.
Brother: Why not?

You're preaching to the choir, Brother.

-BT

We've all been waiting and waiting.

So, there's lots I could say about GH right now, but I think I'm going to focus on the good. Because, I'm all smiley about it, and I don't want to ruin that by getting all ranty.

So... JaSam. Love. I was so disappointed that we didn't get the start of it on Friday. So much so that I cursed Michael Jackson a little bit, and I don't care how inappropriate that is. Although maybe it was better that we didn't get that tiny taste of it on Friday and have to wait all weekend with our appetites teased.

So, let's talk about why it was so amazing. Even that first day where it was just a minute there was some good stuff. Jason saying she was taller was my favorite. Because it meant he notices her. And it's not like her normal shoes are flats. She is the queen of inappropriate foot wear. I also loved how coy Sam was. It was so, "Oh, yeah, I have to take off my jacket to find my phone..." *wink* Adorable.

But today was a piece of JaSam art. Today was definitely the very best of the new scenes. Just the fact that the theme of today was love made me all smiles for the JaSam. But then they were fun and flirty and there was eyesex all over that pent house. Jason hasn't smiled and laughed like that in years because no one else can bring that out in Stone Cold. Love. Also, he was checking her out like whoa, but trying so hard to hide it.

And then there was the anvil... I don't like Spixie. At all. But I love that they lead to Sam's anvilicious line of the week. She's been waiting and waiting, Jason's been waiting and waiting, and so have we. And the payoff is going to be big. (Hopefully in the form of a real deal sex scene.)

So, yeah, love the JaSam. The other thing I've been consistently loving lately is Johnny and Jolivia. Which is odd, since I used to be maximum bored with Johnny, and I hated Olivia. But he's been less obsessed with Claudia lately, so that improved him a lot, and he's also been the only honest character about Sonny and all the mob stuff. I don't know, he's just been great lately. I've loved his stuff with Jason. Olivia, I mostly only like with Johnny, though I have liked her dynamic with Dantenic, even if he does look old enough to be her twin brother. I like that she told Sonny to get the fuck out today, but I am under no illusions that it's going to last. Sonny is a woman ruiner.

I think that's all for today. Except that Sarah Brown is amazing and, therefore, I can no longer wish Claudia dead. Instead I will wish for some sort of character over-haul that will make me not want to vomit when I watch her. Wish me luch on that one.

-Bryan Toph

blah, damn you.

why oh why is this show so boring lately?

This Show Needs More Blind-folds

So, there was a lot I really liked about today. There was some I didn't like too, but that's a given lately, and I choose to focus on the positive.

1] I loved Kristina saying that his kids aren't exactly Sonny's priority. It's so true, and this show spends way too much time talking about how much he loves his kids without showing it. There's been a lot of people calling out Sonny on his crap lately (though not to his face), and I'm sure it's not going to last, but, for the time being, I'm going to enjoy it. I could have kissed Johnny yesterday when he was talking about Sonny taking advantage of Jason when he was a lost, brain-damaged kid. Love.

2] LnL2 + kids + Jason. At first, I was really confused. I didn't get the point. It certainly wasn't about Jiz, there were no longing looks, nothing. So, I wasn't sure why they put the scene in there, when they've been trying to make us forget that Jason has a kid. And then Liz started talking about how Lucky was projecting his anger about her cheating with Jason and Jake not being his on Ethan, and I died laughing. Jason was an LnL2 prop, and I couldn't love that more.

3] I hate Michael, but, from the beginning, I've wanted this story to be a Quartermaine story, and I couldn't be happier that it is Carly's initiative that is bringing it there. Loved Jason with Monica as well.

4] OMG, blind-folded sexy time. Jolivia is too sexy, and I love it.

5] In a love-to-hate kind of way, Sonny was hilarious with Michael, telling him he was just like him. He totally is, but not in all the ways that Sonny so proudly told him. They're both such arrogant self-centered pricks, that it was kinda perfect.

In general, I enjoyed the episode and was able to ignore the things I didn't. So thumbs up to GH for today.

Everything.

Things I cared about today:

So, I had kind of a love/hate relationship with today. As in, I loved one thing, hated one, and couldn't have cared less about the rest.

Let's start with hate, because, really, that's more interesting. This whole thing with Matt is making me hate characters I previously liked. Brain surgery is a big deal. Patients die. All the time. Through no fault of any doctor. It is the right of that patient's family to find out if there was anything that could have been done to change the outcome of the surgery, to see if their loved one could have survived. That's fine. What's not fine? Diane PNLing in a *bar*, being a totally unprofessional bitch. Waving a dead patient in front of a doctor's face and going nah-nah-nah-nah isn't even a good technique. It's just cruel. And they were acting like Matt deserved it.

But Diane is a caricature, always has been, it's just that usually I find it funny. Patrick and just Scrubs in general really got me fired up. I don't think it would have been possible for Patrick to be more condescending if he tried. He didn't say, "I talked to the nurses, and you did everything right, this isn't your fault." He said, "It isn't your fault. I should have known you were an incompetent patient killer." Dick head. They *knew* there was something off with her injury, so shut up. Every scene with Patrick and Robin made me more and more sure that this whole thing is going to turn into a Scrubs story and I'm going to have to endure Matt being humiliated for the sake of every other character before being shoved back on the back burner. And considering he's one of the only characters I like lately? Boo. Prove me wrong GH. Give my boy a story line worthy of his loveableness.

And now, love. Though I agree with Kelli that Jason was pretty selfish. They spent two minutes on Sam before yet another conversation about the little shit that could. (IDK, maybe I'm supposed to have sympathy for him now, but it's all so damn manipulative. At least Kristina is completely upfront about her manipulation.) Even with that, I loved the Jason and Sam scenes. Sure they talked about Michael yet again, and sure they had to spend some of that time talking about Spinelli's balls (sorry Kel), but they're just so pretty together, and they talk and they listen, things that they tend to only get from each other, and I just have to love it. Plus, Kelly was looking beeeeutiful today (even moreso than usual). And Steve is looking sexier than he has in years. So, yeah, love.

Also, Johnny and Olivia are still sexy. I enjoy watching them. Next step is caring. Work on that, writers.

(PS, in case my silly photoshop is unclear. Matt has a heart. Everything else is blood.)

Robin and Patrick hit the showers for practical reasons.

Mac wants Robin to talk some sense into Maxie.

Robin learns the mayor’s wife hired Sam.

Nikolas is torn in regards to Rebecca.

In The End, Love Will Win Out

The first segment was the best part of the entire show. No lie. I was like giddy in my seat the entire time. I laugh every time Diane calls Spinelli "Mr. Grasshopper" and today was no exception (although Diane did annoy me the rest of the way. Major. Bitch.) Nancy is looking absolutely fabulous. I LOVE any scene that has Johnny and Matt wrestling around together. And yay! Olivia, showed up. That was one of my wishes from yesterday.

Then, of course, they start us out right away with the best yet.. JASAM!

I'm glad he asked Sam right away if she was okay but I still feel like that he's being sort of selfish. He's so focused on himself and his own problems. I don't like that he can go to her with ALL of his problems but they can't have a single conversation about their past or him threatening to kill her.

The rest of the show was pretty much down hill from there.

I don't care at all about Nikolas/Rebecca/Ethan. I like Nikolas. I like Ethan. I don't like Rebecca.. and pairing her with either of them ruins them for me.

I loved all the Johnny and Olivia stuff we got. Especially the piano. Do. Me. Now. They are hot. And on top of that.. they are kinda cute too.

I like Michael (and Drew, for that matter) but he's driving me insane. I get his anger.. probably better than I do Kristina's. She's just an attention whore. Everybody in Port Charles has daddy issues. Nothing about her stands out in the crowd to me. But Michael's whining has got to. He takes everything the wrong way. Carly's pregnant so she's replacing him. Carly wasn't there when she woke up, so she must not care as much. Carly never gave up on him therefore he should live with her, so he's her prize. Get over yourself. You weren't that important before the coma, what makes you think you're that important after it?

And for God's sake.. Can we PLEASE drop the whole subject of Spinelli's hairless balls? It's awkward and makes me uncomfortable. I have a vivid imagination and that is not something I want a mental picture of.

Back to the rest of Jasam. As selfish as Jason's being, I love that Sam completely understands him and is offering her own advice and thoughts to his problems. And they had a major anvil in there at the end of the scenes. "In the end, love will win out." And lastly, I loved the scene with Jason, Sam, Spinelli and Maxie all

Here's to hoping for more Jasam tomorrow!

GH Alum Returns to Former Role

(via, SID)

Sorry, GENERAL HOSPITAL fans. Wally Kurth will not be reprising the role of Ned this summer — instead, the soap veteran will be returning to DAYS OF OUR LIVES as Justin Kiriakis, the role he played from 1987-’91. "Yes, Wally is returning in August," confirms a DAYS spokesperson. "Stay tuned as to why and how he'll return to Salem."

Disappointment at Its Best

Sigh. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with today's episode. Of course I was.. just by being excited for it I set myself up for the downfall.

I was happy that it started straight out with a Carly apology. She was hella harsh to Jason on Friday. I love the Jarly friendship but if they ever turn romantic again, it'd creep me out. BTW, I'm not really a big fan of Laura's hair cut. I love her long hair and miss it already!

I hate to love the Michael and Kristina scenes. I think I like them so much because they are brother and sister and we don't get too much of that on the show. Sure, we get the Spencer clan but usually they are all too wrapped up in themselves to care about each other. And Lulu couldn't be a worse sister to Lucky if she tried. And of course we get the Ziblings. But Claudia and Johnny's creepy chemistry is way too much for me. I guess I should be glad that I missed the day that Michael called Kristina a babe.

As much as I like their scenes, I can't stand Kristina. She continues to act as if she's God's gift. She shows no respect to anybody. I can't help but feel that it's all going to come back and bite her in the ass. As horrible as it is, I smell rape all over this storyline.

While I'm discussing things I don't like.. I don't care for Ethan and Rebecca together. At all. I hate newbies together and even more when I don't like one or both of them. And I still don't care about Scrubs. They could put me to sleep with all their mind numbing scenes.

I can't figure out if Claudia's just a really good liar or if she's a pathological liar. Ya know, where she lies so much that she convinces herself that what she's saying is the truth. She's so back and forth. She's my new Faith Roscoe. I love to hate her. And I know every body's going to hate this, but I LOVE Claudia and Michael scenes. Not because I think they are cute or sweet or anything.. but because I know it's all going to blow up.

Now onto some of my favorite parts..

The way Spinelli keeps making eyes at Johnny every time they share scenes makes me wonder what he's more worried about: Maxie's attraction to Johnny or his own attraction to Johnny.

COLEMAN! Sigh. I love Coleman and his Coleman-ness. He's such a scene stealer. Even better? Alexis and Coleman. It makes me very happy. And the little shots of Johnny in the background don't hurt it a bit.

Speaking of.. Holy hell. Johnny Z on his piano. *fans self* How hot is that? I knew I loved him for a reason. I kept hoping Olivia would show up and we'd get some piano lovin'.. I guess there's always tomorrow..

I don't care who he's with or what he's doing. I freaking love Matt Hunter. I'm not a Matt and Maxie shipper but I loved his opening line too. What a man.. *sigh*

I loved every bit of the Spinelli/Matt/Johnny fight. What's not to love when you get Matt and Johnny in scenes together?

And FINALLY. I waited nearly 45 minutes for a single Sam scene and all I got to see was her being man handled. I swear the writers forget that she fended for herself for years before she showed up in Port Charles. You'd think she'd be able to get out of that without Jason's help.

Not that I can complain that much. I happen to love that it gave us an opening for a Jasam scene. Although the whole set up was totally dumb. A cop comes in, on the mayors orders I might add, and uses violence to force her hand.. and she's afraid that both she and Jason could go to jail for knocking him out? It's call self-defense. And I'm sure with the certain level of danger her job entails, she's got security cameras around her office to prove her point. But ya know what? If it gives me more Jasam.. I'm all for this. Just give me Jason and Sam together again tomorrow and I swear I won't complain.

I have high hopes for today's episode. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

I Miss The Good Days

I know- three posts in one day. Don't worry, I'll try not to repeat everything they just said. I kind of lied to you though when I said I would be watching daily now. Oops. You can't really blame though, can you? But I did devote multiple hours today to catching up on everything I missed this week. And I have been keeping a constant watch on the Jasam/Sam scenes. Too bad not much has happened.

That's the problem, I think. Do the writers not know how to evolve a storyline? Because we get tons and tons of prep time for every storyline.. and then no follow through. Dante has been building for what.. a year now? Where is he? And more importantly, how many of us don't care anymore? And Michael? I know, I know.. he just woke up. But I can only handle so much of the angsty emo teen scene at one time.. and between he and Kristina.. we're on overload. One of them needs to snap out of it. We've all seen or heard about the transformation from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan. I really don't need to see the 2.0 version with Michael.

Speaking of Jason.. Why must they ruin my Jasam by making them babysit the Mickey Mouse club? Why do Michael and Kristina have more of a storyline than two of the most prominent actors? Why are we investing so much into new people instead of fixing what we already have? I like Drew.. I think the NuKristina is a perfect fit.. but what makes them more important than the already famed Jason Cook? Why shouldn't Matt get a good story after being on screen for a year, propping up one of the most boring couples (which, in case you didn't realize, is Scrubs).

On top of that, why can't they come up with something original? Something that we haven't touched base on or that isn't referred to in every other script. We need a gay relationship.. or the hot older lady with the fabulously sexy younger guy.. Oooh wait.. We do have that one.

Jolivia are smokin'. Seriously, I was beginning to doubt TPTB's capabilities (okay, so that's another lie. I already doubted them but they've provided a bit of redemption with this tasty treat). They actually did something right for once. Johnny and Olivia together are light and fun and steaming up TV's everywhere. And I'm so glad that in the midst of all this mind numbing bore, we've been giving a reprieve through them. It's kind of a shame that they had to use 2 of the most insignificant characters around right now though. That can only mean they aren't going to be around too long.

With all these newbs on and absolutely no interesting storylines, I'm heartbroken to see Rick Hearst go. I've been expecting it for awhile.. but the closer his departure gets, the less cooperative my head is being. Why are we letting an Emmy winning actor leave while we continue to take in these no named newbs with next to zero acting experience? Why are we getting rid of a character who actually spices up the screen and in returning keeping Luke
Spencer II around? (No offense, Nathan fans. I'm actually quite partial to the sexiness that is him myself..) Ric's inevitable demise aside, I actually like him right now. I don't know if he's supposed to be the bad guy at the moment or not. I think he's supposed to not care.. and it's working. It makes me want Claud's baby to be his. Anything would be better than Sonny getting yet another child (I think it's time for somebody to get snipped, btw). After all the whining he does, he needs to be brought down a peg or two.. though if we do that, he'd be lucky to reach Claudia's knees.

I was watching clips from 3 and 4 years ago the other day and I just kept thinking.. 'Where is this excitement now?' I'm waiting for the day that a storyline reaches out and grabs me like they used to. Til then, we're stuck fast forwarding through 95% of the show. But who knows, maybe these new actors will take us back to the good days where we actually anticipated 3 o'clock everyday. I'm not betting on it though.

On the plus side? KeMo's done with PeepShow. Welcome back, Kelly! You have absolutely NO idea how much we've missed you.

Watching this show is like a chore lately....

So I haven't posted in a really long time, I apologize. Thing's got busy for me, what with the school semester ending, I'm in a musical, and work, I've hardly had time to watch General Hospital, let alone blog about it. But I'm going to attempt to get back on track here, so I guess I'll post a few of my thoughts now, to get you all up to speed on what I am thinking.

Let's start with the new SORAS-ed kiddies. I love Drew, NuMichael. I think he's a nice looking kid (who, according to Sarah Joy Brown, is 20 years old, so I don't feel like a creeper saying that), and that he has talent in expressing Michael's feelings of confusion, rage, anxiety, everything this poor kid's feeling. That being said, I want to punch Michael in the face. I get that he had a personality shift and blah blah blah, but why on earth must you be a big bitcho to Carly, but then go and kiss the ground on which Sonny walks on? If you're going to be mad, fine. Be mad. At both of them. But to randomly hate Carly and love Sonny, what the hell, dude? "It's my fault you got shot." "Oh. Well, that's okay, shit happens." What. The. Hell.

Which brings me to Kristina. I hope she stays pissed at Sonny and doesn't join Michael in the Sonny Lover's Club. I actually like NuKristina a lot, although I really miss Kali. She was the cutest little girl ever and the perfect Kristina. But now Kristina's 16 (is she 16? She said she was sophomore class president, so I just assumed...) and she is exactly how I think I'd picture her at 16. What a little rebel. But at the same time, she's a good kid. She's got the grades, the extracurriculars. It's obvious her acting out is just for attention. And while, yes, I find her annoying at times and want to punch her as much as I want to punch Michael, I understand her. I think the actress is great, too. She looks older than 16 at a glance, but then when you really get to look at her, she looks sooo young. Which is perfect. I'm interested to see her character's development.

(Oh, and if she tries to manipulate Sam again by throwing her past with Jason out in the air, I WILL punch her in the head.)

What else has happened that I can discuss. Ethan and Rebecca are working together. That's blah. I like Ethan. I don't know why, I think I've said this before. I just do. But I never got into Rebecca at all. So now that they are working together, I'm blah about the whole thing. I don't want my Ethan near that. But I guess we might as well take the two most boring storylines on GH right now and morph them together. If not only for the hell of it.

(Also, buying babies fascinates me. So when it came out that Rebecca was a black market baby, I laughed. A lot.)

CSI Scrubs. Don't care. Love me my Matt, but they totally only used him so that God Among Us Patrick wouldn't kill a patient. I guess I'm happy that it'll give Matt a storyline. But at the same time? Meh.

I used to LOVE Maxie. Now I don't pay attention when she's on screen. That makes me really sad. So I really don't know what's going on with all that. I just can't watch the character I love annoy the fuck out of me.

Claudia. Oh, Claudia. What on earth are we going to do with you, you psychotic manipulative crazy bitch. You've been written into an unsympathetic corner, and I just think you should place a hit on someone and stand next to them. That way, she'll die. Cause God knows that woman can't hire anyone who can actually hit their target. (Speaking of, I hear she tries to take Jason out, and nearly kills Johnny in the process, since he's with Jason when it happens. Dumb bitch.)

I think I've covered everything I care to cover. Kelly Monaco needs to just come back to our lives and on our T.V. screens. I miss Sam. Her presence would make this whole experience so much better for me. Le sigh.

Neurotically Yours,
Syph

A Week(ish) in Review

So, it's been awhile since anyone has posted, and, to be honest, it's mostly been the same old song and dance. This show is all about setting up storylines that never seem to happen. For the first time in awhile, it's been amusing me more than it's been pissing me off. So, that's something I guess.

NuKristina is over-acty and slightly ridiculous, but I also kinda love it. In between the over-acting, and if you look closely, you can see the little girl dressing up in what she thinks are grown-up clothes and the vulnerability every time she mentions Sonny. It's making me feel for her, and when this show can do that, I chalk it in the win collumn. Also, it was pretty damn ballsy of her to bring a joint to Michael's hospital room.

I go back on forth with NuMichael. I really do like the new actor. But then he speaks and he's such a brat. Sometimes I remember that he's like that because his father is the king of self-involved and his parents have let him get away with everything his entire life, and I try to have sympathy, but I just can't. Be less of an annoying, bratty, little shit.

Scrubs is cute. I don't care. Plus, it makes me so very grumbly bear that they brought Matt out of his moth-ball filled closet just to make him kill the patient instead of Patrick. If we don't get more Matt time out of this, I will be mega irked.

I continue to not care about Lulu/Johnny/Maxie/Spinelli. I do like Johnny when he's with Olivia. They're sexy and fun. I do not like Johnny when he's running around trying to protect Claudia.

Other things do happen on this show. I don't care about them.

Monday's Sam time was disappointing to say the least. I hate that they showed Kristina trying to manipulate Sam without showing Sam rolling her eyes and telling her that she has no chance in conning her. And was there really a point in bringing up Jason and Sam's past with absolutely no follow up? Please come back to me KeMo.

Wonder of Wonders

So, yeah, I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the majority of today's episodes. I know! I was shocked, too. Now, don't get me wrong, I still hated pretty much everyone, but I was really enjoying the dynamic and laughing, and IDK, I liked it.

The one thing that didn't grab my interest at all was Scrubs. I'm glad for their fans that after the travesty that was the PPD SL that they got some nice sweet family moments that just got skipped over in all the horrendous drama. But, meh, I wasn't interested, and it felt like they were trying to redeem Robin in one episode. Emma still QT.

Instead of pissing me off, today Sonny's self-involvement was hilarious. With Olivia, he was like a petulant child, not explaining himself, but pouting when she didn't understand what he was trying to say. (Except she did, but he didn't want her to.) With Johnny, again, I laughed. If Johnny was looking for revenge, there'd have been much easier ways to get there than sleeping with someone Sonny hasn't been with since high school. Oh Sonny. Why so self-involved?

Jax with Olivia? Also hilarious. I think I like Jolivia because they make everyone around them act so ridiculous. Jolivia themselves were pretty cute, anyway. They're fun and fresh and lacking in angst. It's kinda refreshing.

I was all ready to roll my eyes at Jax when he started talking to Michael, but, y'know, it wasn't so bad. Someone had to tell Michael to stop being a brat and that he can't just get away with treating his mother like that. He should have been discpilined a long time ago. I did vaguely like him with Lulu. The two of them kinda cancel out each other's annoying.

So, let's compare sane suspicion with crazy suspicion. Alexis was great today. She was funny talking about her pension for psyhos, and I loved her trying to put off Raynor's flirting (who I also liked and I think I ship them). She's worried about Nick because the existance of Rebecca in Port Charles is suspicious. Legit. Not so legit? ONLY EMILY CAN WEAR BLUE SCRUBS AND THAT PURPLE SHIRT IS BLUE AND YOU CAN'T WEAR BLUE AND WHY ARE YOU SITTING IN EMILY'S CHAAAAAIR. Elizabeth is a jealous shrew.

I didn't pay attention to any of the other combinations of that quad: Elizabeth/Lucky, Nik/Lucky, or Nik/Rebecca. Meh.

Here's hoping Sam is on tomorrow.

-BG

Everyone on this show is a self-involved prick.

"He's going to trust you. Like I do."

Boring, boring, Die!NuMichael!Die!, boring, JaSam! <3, boring. That's pretty much today's show. Other than JaSam, the only good thing about it was no Claudia. That was a relief. And Johnny/Olivia wasn't as gross as I thought it was going to be. Way less skeezy than Claudia/Sonny, at least. Though, still boring.

I loved the JaSam scenes. Only Jason would be brooding in the dark the day his pseudo-son came out of a coma. But I love that Sam was there to be supportive and talk to him about his worries about the whole situation. I loved her comment about things never changing: beer on the same shelf, key on the same hook, and Jason brooding in the dark. I kinda tried to block out the fact that they were discussion how best to help the little prick, though. My favorite part, though, was her telling him she trusts him. It's clear that she does, and that he trusts her, but with the way everything ended, them vocalizing that trust is crucial for reconcilliation.

They were on the whole day! :D

-BG

I'm filled with a thing called hate.

I'm already sick of nuMichael. He clearly his father's son, self-involved little prick. Carly is the *only* one that didn't give up hope on him, and yet, apparently, the fact that she didn't sleep in his hospital room for a fucking year and wasn't at his bedside every second means that she's the only one he's mad at. Hate. I really wish this story line was being handled differently. Or that this little asshole had just stayed gone. And yet everyone is going to be catering to his whims. Someone better tell him to have a little respect.

Claudia is a despicable excuse for a human being. I mean, really, are we *sure* she's not Michael's mother? Cause she, Sonny, and the brat would make a lovely little self-involved family. I can't find one sympathetic thing with this woman. Her joy at Michael not remembering anything, lurking around where she doesn't belong. Everything. She even makes me like Johnny when he's calling her out on her shit. Thank God he has a breaking point, even with family.

Olivia is a hypocritical bitch. What exactly gives her the right to say anything to the Qs about Sonny as a father, when she herself has a Bensonhurst secret. (Why the hell doesn't she just go back to Bensonhurst? Please?) She doesn't know a single thing about the situation with the Qs, and Sonny can certainly take care of himself, so back the fuck off. And why exactly was she so wounded that she had to go off drinking?

Um, the brothers Drake are pretty? I wasn't really paying attention to them.

Oh look, Tracy bribed a lab tech. Oh look, I still have absolutely zero interest in this story line or whether or not Luke has another spawn, this one with big teeth and a terrifyingly crooked face.

I loved Jason calling Monica.

That is all. Team Carly FTW. GTFO, Brat.

-BG

You shouldn't be pregnant, you shouldn't even be alive...

I literally hate everyone. (Misuse of the word literally, but whatever.) But, really, why do all the characters suck so much. Everyone was all emotional and I just didn't care, with the exception of Carly and Jason. And Alexis! I'm totally loving Alexis lately. Nancy Lee Grahn is love.

Why is Olivia in Port Charles? Why is she in anyone's life? Why should I care? Why is she on my screen?

Don't care about Embecca or Nik when he's with her. So, whatever. Love Edward and Monica but blah blah blah. Ric's concern was interesting, but that character is written too unevenly for me to care that much, and, much as I'll miss him, I'm happy for Rick Hearst getting away from these writers. Lulu and Johnny? Separate and apart, a big old snooze. Lulu being there when Michael wakes up is ridiculous, but whatever. I did have to laugh at "I can't believe how much you've grown."

The Tracy/Ethan/Luke stuff is just stupid. I doubt Holly being a part of it will fix it.

The exception to the not caring? I hate Claudia. Hate her. She is a manipulative bitch, and I didn't even care that I was totally agreeing with Jason that she shouldn't be alive, and I am vehemently against capital punishment. But that bitch needs to go. (I'm sorry, Sarah Brown, you're awesome, Claudia sucks.)

I'm super negative today. The show wasn't any worse than it has been. I'm just so tired of not caring.

Laura is love.

Best news I heard today, KeMo officially has a replacement at Peepshow, so it's only a matter of time until we get her back full time.

so...i'm updating this from my phone while i sit in class. basically...finals suck. so does GH at the moment. i'll post for real once this week is over.

-syph

I'm late with this...

So far this week I have only watched the JaSam scenes from Monday, and that will probably continue for another week or so. This isn't to do with the quality of the show, though I'm sure it is still barely watchable on the whole, but because I have some family things going on, and I just can't watch the whole show unless I have good reason to. So, since we probably won't get more JaSam (or Sam at all) this week, this might be my only post. Unless I think of something random that amuses me.

Monday's JaSam scenes were fantastic. They had me in all grins. Sam wearing Jason's jacket was too adorable for words, and, not gonna lie, I was squeeing like a dorky fangirl at Sam wearing anything of Jason's clothes. Plus, as Kel said, they kept showing her legs, and they are hot.

I loved that Jason just didn't want to leave. He made the joke about protecting her from angry girlfriends and then was so reluctant when she told him she was fine. This, to me, is good enough proof that on Friday, when Jason picked up the phone and then changed his mind before leaving the pent house, he was going to call Sam. He wanted to talk to her about this stuff with Claudia and Sonny. Sam has always been one of the only people (if not the only person) he can talk to about his emotions. He's everyone's rock, she's his. I think he must be so relieved to have her to talk to again, even if it is still a little bit awkward for him to go to her.

Also, how long has it been since we've seen Jason smile so much. He was so adorable grinning all over the place while Sam was telling her story. I *love* that they've brought back fun and flirty and adorable JaSam.

I was so hopeful that maybe we'd get some scenes Tuesday, too, since the scenes ended mid-convo. Unfortunately hope is a fickle friend in these days of Peepshow. Come back to us, Kelly!

I loved the scenes, now let's have sexy time.

Um, if I'm missing two men and a baby scenes, I'm sorry, Matt. I still love you!

A Real Effort

Check that shit out.

Okay, so Amanda keeps giving me shit about my lack of effort in my posts. I said I was going to start watching full episodes again and I half assed it. So your welcome, Amanda, in advance for todays post. I stayed up after work to watch the 9am airing on soapnet. And I watched the entire thing.. some parts twice. Ha.

Okay first of all- I don't give a shit about the new quad. But I laughed my ass off when at the end of the Lucky/NuEmily scene it was all:

Lucky: I still have feelings for Whore.
Whore: Ugh.

Bahaha. In all honesty (and I can't believe I'm thinking this), I didn't hate Whore today. But she's still too easy to make fun of, so she gets majority of my bashing. I love that she called herself self-righteous. Oh, how right you are.

Patrick: I thought love was just an excuse to get women in bed.
Whore: Isn't it?

Which, by the way, Whore was totally making her drunk ONS sex eyes at Patrick the entire time.

Patrick: Can I get you anything for a change?
Whore: Why yes, Patrick. You can give me my next ONS baby.

How weird is it that as soon as that happened, Patrick totally looked old like whoa. What is it about Whore that makes all the men she's with ugly? Do they have to fugly them up so she looks better or something?

The LnL2 dialogue was actually really really cute. But then I went back and re-watched the scenes and actually watched while I listened and it totally ruined it for me. Why oh why is my Greg so fugly now? *weeps* I think they wanted to make LnL2 seem like Whore never cared about Jason as much as she does Lucky. I'm not seeing that yet. I hope they fix it.

Um, Nem 2.0 still have chemistry. That's about all I care about them. Their last 2 scenes were cute, sort of. I guess. Rebecca's look has grown on me. So if they decide to bring "Emily" back, I hope they don't go back to that boring look. Maybe they could find a happy medium. And hello Drunk!Nikolas. Do me now.


Johnny's faux-fight scene was absolutely hilarious. I laughed out loud, twice. But I love when he goes all psycho. Brandon's all sexy when he plays pent up. Seriously, forget Spinelli and Maxie. Just give me more of crazy Johnny. I've hated Lulu/Jolu for a long time, so it gets me really excited to see Johnny so into Maxie. Because it's clear to me that he is into her as more than just the girl he's using to fuck up his relationship with Lulu. I called this shit last summer. I love them together. Reminds me of Jasam 2.0. Sigh. I won't hold my breath on it though. I have a feeling all I'll be seeing this summer is Spixie and M&M, unfortunately. I just LOVE Johnny to death. He's all up on Maxie, but he still tries to help her with Spinelli every chance he gets. He's the mobster with a heart. See! He's a mini-Jason. *swoon*

The Sonny/Jax pissing contest needs to go. I'm bored of it. I hope it's setting something up good. I'd say CarSon, but Sonny's still off his rocker, so that'd be blah. Maurice's acting is on again, or at least getting there, but Sonny's still too bat shit for me to like him again. Strangely enough, Claudia had all good points until she started crooning on about her demon spawn. And, seriously, could Sonny be any more disrespectful.

Sonny: Bitch, I said bark.
Claudia: I love it when you talk dirty.

I don't care about Olivia at all. But she did look good in that blue dress. And she gave good advice. Sonny, everybody's telling you to back off. Do you think you should back off or back off?

Oh, and is Olivia's apartment Sam's loft? *twirls beard*

And finally- FINALLY- Jasam. Sigh. I've got this insane urge to jump Jason. And I haven't felt that in WAY too long.

Sam: Thank you. I'm really grateful for the rescue, but I think the danger has passed. And besides, my car is here, so --
Jason: Oh, yeah, yeah. If you're sure.
Sam: Yeah.
Jason: Ok.
Sam: Could I keep your jacket? I'll drop it off tomorrow.
Jason: No, absolutely not. Yeah, of course you can.
Kelli: Gah, fuck me now.

It's so good to see Jason smiling, laughing and joking again. Especially with Sam. It's so natural and all that shit. Sigh. Stelly still got it. And hearing Jason say Sam's name like he did makes me imagine Jasam sexy time. Is that just me? Damn. And after all those complaints from Whore fans about Peepshow, I LOVE how they kept Sam's legs in the shot at all times. That's like GH sending a mental fuck you personally to every one of you (you know who you are. Your ass hurts now, doesn't it?). And Jason was leaning toward her the entire time he was talking to her about Claudia and Jerry. I was hoping he was checking out her legs. I was. Gah. Those feelings are coming back and they don't know it yet.

Oh my Corey, I think I liked the episode. Wow, big surprise, it had Jasam in it.

On that note, I'm off to bring the boy some coffee. He's so demanding. I hope it was up to your effort standards, Amanda. I gave you ALL my commentary.

PS- Seriously, Greg, cut your hair.

yes. today had jasam. over 6 minutes of jasam. and it was fun and cute and serious and everything i had hoped.

now let's get them in the sack naked together, okay?

i mean, look at how cute she looked in his jacket. and he totally didn't want to leave. he wanted to stay with her and talk to her because he doesnt know it yet but he LOVES her.

also, sam keeps making subtle digs at jason about lying and such. today's was something along the lines of "you always want to hear the truth, even if it hurts." you keep making those subtle digs, girl. maybe eventually he'll pick up on the hint.

im hoping their scene continues tomorrow, i mean they did kind of leave it mid conversation, but with KeMo's show and our Sam-less episodes, it wouldn't surprise me if she isn't on the rest of the week. and that's a damn DAMN shame.

now the rest of the episode:

I guess i'm happy LnL2 are getting back together for two reasons: one, im happy for their fans, since they were teased so much during the hospital crisis. and two, it keeps Whore away from jason.

don't care about embecca/nik.

and olivia needs to stop taking up screen time.

that's pretty much all i have to say. jasam needs to continue to be on my screen.

neurotically yours,

Random Weekend Post

I just realized that one of the things I love the most about yesterday's JaSam was that it was such a screw you to the bitches who were trying to get Kelly fired over Peepshow. Not only do they not care that you're morally offended by her taking off her clothes in a setting that *does not* effect you (duh, they don't care, they agreed to her doing it), they're going to have her in her skivvies on the show, too.

Suck on that.

JaSam sexy time please?

Wow, could the Sam/Spin scenes have been a little more pointless? Sam as a random prop for Spinelli's continued compulsion to be a macho man is not the scenes I've been hoping for all week. But LMAO, I can't wait for Monday. That was such a JaSam way to start their scenes for next week. Naked Sam catapulted into Jason's arms. I love it. Seriously, two seconds and it totally made this episode worth it.

"Spoken like a beautiful woman who can't see the spider on her shirt." What does that mean Lucky? This is what is plaguing me after the endless Embecca/Lucky/Whore/Nik scenes. Also, I always knew Whore couldn't count to two.

If Claudia doesn't stop trying to kill people, the only people left in PC are going to be her targets. I'm glad Johnny tried to knock some sense into her. He continued to meet my expectations and be dull while doing it.

Oh, wow, I'm so shocked that Maxie's big plan is going to backfire. Just like Sam's did when she tried this. I'm not sure what they're going for with this parallel. The whole thing is stupid, though, much as I love nods to JaSam history. This is the bad kind of history.

I'm still confused as to why Carly would be stressed by Sason going after Jerry. Jax is really pissing me off. Why is he trying to protect Claudia? He could probably convince them to back off of Jerry for now if he just told them about his copy of the DVD. I really don't get his motivation right now, but it smells like betrayal. Boo.

Um, it bears repeating... Sam was totally half-naked in Jason's arms. :D

-BG

Um, Fuck Nik and Whore.

I'm not watching today. Sorry.

Grumbley Bear

So, yeah, pretty much the only thing that I noticed about this episode was that they played a JaSam song during a stupid ass Nik/Whore scene. Not ok with that *at all*. I'm waiting patiently for JaSam to get to a point where they can play their song again (at least one of them), and then they do THIS. Not a happy camper. At least it wasn't Just You and Me, but STILL.

Um, other than that? Boring, more boring, Sam has a cold apparently, Winnibitch was like a jack-in-the-box and scared the hell out of me with her continued existence. Maxie totally pulled a Sam what with pretending to have a stalker. So I guess woo JaSam parallel? Blah. Why does Jax think Jason killing Jerry will stress Carly out? Stupid. Lucky looks beyond ridiculous, and I completely object to that. The man is supposed to be eye candy.

Yeah, that's it. Just... LEAVE JASAM SONGS ALONE!

Why Must They Torture Us?

Kill. Me. Now.

That is all.
-Kelli

What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man...

Hello, hot stuff.

Today's episode was boring.

Not that it's surprising that it was boring.

But Matt+Baby Emma? Yeah, I agree...total babe magnet. If I saw him walking down the street with that little girl, I'd definitely approach them A.S.A.P.

Me: Who is this cutie?
Matt: Oh, this is Emma.
Me: That's nice, but I was talking about you.
Matt: Oh, I'm Matt. And who are you, most beautiful girl in the entire world.
Me: I'm the mother of your next child.
Matt: I think it's time to put Emma down for a nap.
Me: Sounds good. Let's go to bed....

Did other stuff happen in today's episode? Probably. But I didn't notice.

Preemption to the rescue?

So, we just got our first cases of swine flu in Illinois, so the first half hour was preempted for Breaking News. My lack of entertainment in the second half means I have no intention of finding and watching the beginning. So, this will be incomplete. I will be missing most of the Matt stuff, but I think I'll survive.

So biggest hate today goes to Claudia. Did she *seriously* tell Sonny that it would be ok if Carly died because the kids would have Step Mommy Claudia?! Are you fucking kidding me? Every episode I think they can't make me hate this evil bitch more, and then I do. Are they supposed to be making me not hate her? Am I supposed to want her to not be brutally murdered by Carly herself? (I think it would be therapeutic and not stressful.) If yes, then big fucking FAIL. I love Sarah Brown, but not even she can make this bitch remotely sympathetic.

There was a while there where I thought Natalia had toned it down, and I wasn't hating Rebecca even though the story is ridiculously stupid and is turning sexy Nik into a stalker. That's way gone. With Nik and then with Whore I just wanted to smack her and her over acting. She and Whore are a match made in heaven. Bitch brows and brows in need of bleach. Their little snark off left me with nothing except a desire to laugh hysterically at that poor attempt at a "bitch, please" look Rebecca pulled before storming off.

Speaking of being a stalker, what was Nik doing at the hospital right then? No reason than to follow Rebecca and then try to make her and/or Lucky jealous? Awesome. This story is doing absolutely no one any favors and all of the actors should protest. I didn't know there was a Nik/Whore kiss today. Does that mean there's one tomorrow, too, at Jake's? The looks on everyone's faces kinda made me lol. Ken and Barbie looked as plastic as they are.

Ugh, Whore/Patrick. She's sinking her claws wherever they'll go lately. Comforting poor Patrick telling him how saintly he was dealing with that bitch of a wife he has. It's the same old song and dance. She needs to find a new tune, except the men of PC seem painfully oblivious, and the damn thing continues to work for her. Even Robin deserves better friends than her.

Matt with Emma = the very best part of this episode. Sexy man with a cute baby. Love. My heart gave a little squee when he kissed her cheek. Give this man an SL. He's so much more worthy than the idiots taking up the screen time on this show. Here's hoping for more Matt with baby stuff soon.

Meh, to the Crimson crew. I watched, I did not care. Ditto for Luke and Ethan.

I guess that's it of what I saw. Really don't think I'll watch the beginning considering the second half hour seemed plenty long with the dull and the blah blah blah. Please let the storylines move. It's sweeps, people.

And come back, Sam.

People I Hate

Soo, disclaimer, I'm really tired. And this episode is boring.

So, Robin's intervention really just showed who the awesome characters are and who the assholes are. And who has become an (albeit good-looking) useless waste of space. I'm looking at you, Patrick.

Robin = total uber bitch to Maxie. She's so freaking self-righteous it makes me want to hurl. Please get off of my screen kthnx. Also, I thought Maxie was great in the intervention. She was clear about what she was worried about with Robin, that she loves her and that she isn't being herself. Even when Robin was attacking her, she stayed on point before leaving. I loved her. And then they had to send her straight to lame drama with Johnny and Spinelli. I hate you, writers. Just let me enjoy her for a whole day.

I liked the juxtoposition of Whore and Kelly as friends. Kelly was great. Non-accusatory, but still clear that Robin needs to get help. And then Whore makes it all about herself. GTFO.

I liked that Mac stopped enabling. Matt is love. More Matt please.

Sonny can die painfully in a fire. Carly's prenancy and whether she terminates it is SO COMPLETELY NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS you fucking asshole. Seriously. You treat your own children like possessions you can pick up and play with whenever it suits you (and whoever you're fucking), and then you presume to think you are in anyway part of this decision? Light yourself on fire. WTF? Yes, Sonny, Max and Milo can fix Carly's health problems. (Yes, you are getting this commentary as I'm watching.) Arrogant prick. Jason doesn't have to blindly follow your orders on personal matters. And, considering your really fucking poor judgement, I'm not sure he should be following your orders at all.

(I'm such a JaSammer. I'm sitting here so pissed at Sonny for thinking it's a good idea to command Jason to get Carly to do his bidding, but at the same time I'm smiling that Jason is saying he can't make people's decisions for him. Fixing JaSam mistakes ftw.)

Le Sigh. This convo with Jason and Diane just makes me wish it was with Sam.

Carly's total and complete faith scares me. I don't want her to lose this baby. I love Laura.

I don't care about Luke and Ethan.

This ended up being less on the funny and more on the rant side of things. I apologize and promise to try and watch earlier tomorrow. Also, I miss Sam, tooooo. *cries*

Shameless Plug

yes. i am going to shamelessly plug my fanfic here now:

Superhero: A JaSam fanfiction

I, also, miss Sam.

I have to agree with a lot of what Kelli said, regarding tonights episode. For starters, it was another yawn inducing episode for the most part. But let's talk about the most amusing thing that DID happen tonights episode: Robin's intervention.

First of all, it's about freaking time. I would have sent her to the loony bin after she put her baby in a tree. And then I would have sent her a second time when she, you know, tried to commit suicide. But I guess accidentally throwing your baby down the stairs, which in all honesty had nothing to do with PPD and everything to do with Robin just being a moron and putting the stroller too close to the stairs, is the final straw for the people of Port Charles.

Okay, let's dive right in: Robin was a bitch.

Now, I am a big fan of Maxie (though she has been annoying the hell out of me as of lately), and when Robin started telling her off for fucking Lucky and giving him pills and pretending to be pregnant, numerous feelings ran through me. One being: back off bitch. Where do you get off attacking Maxie for something she has dealt with and moved on from? When all Maxie is doing is telling you how scared she was when you made her take YOUR child, your dying child, to the hospital. She's trying to tell you to get the help you so desperately need. And you? You attack her for being a self-absorbed bitch, basically, which is something right now she doesn't need to hear from someone she admires (God only knows why she admires you to begin with)

The second thing I want to say about Robin's rant: Whore definitely ate that shit up. Robin started talking about Maxie and Lucky, and Whore was sitting there going "Yes. I can play the victim. Everyone...LOOK AT ME!" Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But, let's be honest. While a normal person would sit there getting an unnecessary sick feeling in their stomach because Robin feels the need to unleash the past, Whore definitely sat there going, "yes. This is about me." She loves the attention like that.

I just totally unnecessarily bashed Whore.

I'm not even going to harp on this anymore. Robin is getting help. Maybe she won't come back as much as a loon as she is now. I think they totally ruined Robin and I don't know how she would be able to pull out of this a likeable character. We'll have to see how this goes, although I just want it to completely end so I can move on with my life.

God. I don't even know what else took place during this episode. Did anything?

Oh, Ethan and Luke. I know I'm like the only person in the entire world, and I'm waiting for Kelli or Toph to yell at me or make fun of me for this, but I really like Ethan. I don't know why. Don't even try asking me to explain to you why. I have no idea. I just do. And I have this like...old man crush on Luke. Like hardcore, I'm in love with Luke Spencer. So I enjoyed their boring scenes that I really don't care about together, only because I got to watch them. Not really much to say about it, other than Luke, to me, as per usual, looked yummy.

As for the Carly-pregnancy stuff, I just want to say that I really like Sonny. Lately, he's a bit of a moron, but I really like him. And I guess I understand he's overly concerned for Carly, because let's face it, they are Carly and Sonny and he's always going to overly care about her. But he needs to back off. He has nothing to do with this pregnancy or the choices that go along with it. And telling Jason to tell Carly to terminate? That was crossing the line, don't you think?

I really want Carly to have this baby. And I don't want Claudia to have hers. If it's the other way around, I might really attack someone. Or write a really strongly worded letter with lots of underlining and exclamation points. I mean business!

In other random news: I tweeted to Sarah Joy Brown about my thoughts on Claudia needing to find better people to hire as hitmen who aren't complete idiots, and she agreed:

SarahJoyBrown: Me 2! RT @sarahjoybrown no offense, but i think claudia needs to find new hit men. the ones she has suck, apparently. (via @Nicole_Melleby)

Okay. I'm done rambling.

KeMo: Hurry back from Vegas. I freaking miss you.

Neurotically yours,

I Miss Sam

I'm going to be completely honest with you, I didn't watch the entire episode. In fact, I watched about 3.5 segments then I had to stop, in fear that my brain cells were dying off too fast. I did, however, read recaps of the rest. My JoMax hug, Sonny and the dingo, and awkward Max were the only good parts of the day. I didn't even get to see Drew today, which made it even worse.

I'm not even sure if I can summarize any of it; it was that bad.

Robin's a bitch.

Oh, I guess that was easy enough. That pretty much sums up today's episode (and her entire existance). Why is Snobin running the show at her own intervention? Is she that much of a control freak? I can't decide who I hate more: Robin for being overly annoying again or Whore for wearing that overly ugly shirt again. I'd be okay with the discontinuency for once, if it meant I never had to see that ugly ass red and white striped shit again. Every single scene that revolves around this stupid PPD storyline annoys the hell out of me. Robin's not going to be happy until Emma's dead.. but clearly she's "really trying". Thank God she's finally gone off to the loony bin. I couldn't stand watching anymore of that enabling shit. To top it off, Patrick was a total pansy and didn't say shit to help her. Other than the "I miss my wife" Jerry Maguire rip off, he just sat in the corner and gave her these wounded puppy dog eyes. We know who wears the pants in that relationship. Pussy.

Okay big Dingo (bahahahaha), your Sonny vendetta is obvious. You can't even breathe the same air as him without foaming at the mouth. But do you honestly believe that yelling at him in front of Carly is going to calm her down? Please, Guza, don't ever let him procreate with Whore. The poor kid wouldn't have two brain cells to rub together.

It's annoying how sucky Claudia is at being part of the mob business. She can't pull off a hit. She clearly can't hire the right people to pull one off. Hell, she can't even lie without getting caught. No wonder Papa Z hated her so much. She sucks at life. Too bad Sarah Brown is stuck in this idiotic role; it's like a first class ticket to the unemployment line. Napoleon used to be a badass too. Now, he's nothing but a joke. I want my old Stumpy back and Maurices acting to be good again.

I hope Lulu and Ethan are brother and sister. And I hope they have sex. I hate them both.

That's about as much thought as I put into this episode. It was almost as bad as Luke's hair in the 80's. Yes, I resorted to that. I can only hope that with Robin off in "treatment", the show is going to get better. May sweeps officially kicked off last Thursday. I have yet to get excited about anything. Big surprise.

Peepshow better be worth this stupid shit we're putting up with, Kelly.

Why Do I Watch This Show Again?

Yawn. I just wasted an hour of my life that I'll never get back. I have no words.

Sonny's House of Whores

So, I'm still kinda working on how this is going to be formatted, so bear with me.

Ugh, can I just say, the Sonny worship squad needs to gtfo. We already got rid of Kate lurking around Sonny's house, like anyone wanted her there, and they had to replace her with Olivia AND Ric? Dumb, dumber, and omg no one should be this fucking stupid bickering about who Sonny loves best and who he's going to take to the senior prom while he's off making out with someone else under the bleachers. (Or, you know, talking to a doctor about medical decisions he's not legally allowed to make.) Seriously, is there crack in his semen? Also, why does everyone on this show talk like birth contol is 100% accurate?

Speaking of Claudia, someone take away her phone and her money and anything else that facillitates her ridiculous attempts on people's lives.

Sonny and the doctor was a total snooze. Just wake Michael up already and send him along to the Qs. NuMichael looked kinda monkey-like from the side. Jennifer Bransford's Carly's son?

Emma was totally adorable, and totally chill. Love her. Her and Matt are the best part of the Scrubs story and they're both getting the raw end of the deal. I had to laugh because the break being on or off wasn't really this issue. The stroller was like two centimeters from the stairs. It was going over, break or no break. And, actually, there probably would have been more flipping if the break had been on. Mommy and me gymnastics? I love Mac, but he was too enabley for my taste. Maybe he was saving it for the intervention. Which I'm psyched for. I wonder if Whore is like, huh, yes, the intervention is a good way to pick up men. I can make my move while the wife/girlfriend is at rehab (or the looney bin, in Robin's case).

I think this show has a thing for Where's Waldo. First, NuEm was running around the hospital playing a live version of the game, and now Whore has stolen poor Waldo's shirt. Whore and Nik. They're talking. All I hear is blah blah blah. You're so pretty Tyler, and you have the sexy tattoos. Why do they give you such awful story lines? I never thought I'd miss Nadine and her fatal plow. As for Whore, just get back together with Fucky and get off my screen. So apparently loudly chewing gum, dark eye makeup and hairflipping mean Rebecca's an edgy adventurer? Interesting. I never knew. *must invest in hair dye and eyemakeup and get my adventure on* She's like Rebel Without a Cause Barbie, and Lucky was Slummin' It Ken. Match made in heaven. Please cut your hair, Greg.

So the sound kept cutting out, and it seemed to know to do it right during the Jarly scenes. I'm assuming the discussion was just a prop scene for Jax to find out, so I'm not too irked. Now, if it had been JaSam scenes? Someone would be getting a very angry letter. I'm glad that Jax just came out and told her what he heard so they could discuss it. And he does seem to really be concerned about it. Too bad he's gonna think this is going to justify his lies even more. Boo.

I liked Maxie and Jason, as I always do. She was so funny poking him and badgering him awake, and his response was perfect, even just entering consciousness. I also that her worrying was kinda sweet. I really do always like Maxie when she's not part of the new quad. So, I'm definitely excited for tomorrow for her to be in a more Scorpio based scene in the intervention.

She was annoying with Spin, but not as annoying as she has been lately. So, that's a plus. And I'm actually pretty proud of him, though I'm afraid it's not going to last. I love their friendship, but they need some time apart (preferably with Spin off my screen and Maxie with Matt or her family) before they can get back to that, both of them clear on what they are and are not. I have a feeling my wish won't be granted. Joy.

Um, was there other stuff? Apparently nothing I have anything to comment on.

Those stairs jumped out at me out of nowhere, I swear!

"Please. Put me out of my misery. My mom's crazy, and you hand me over to this woman?"


Oh, hello, Monday. Here's hoping that today's episode doesn't bore me to tears.....


Firstly, can I say that baby emma's acting is my absolute favorite on the show right now? That girl can take a spill down the stairs and be all chill with it. She just goes along with everything. Don't worry, Robin. You aren't traumatizing your kid. She's as Stone Cold as Jason, apparently.

Also, a lot of good the Angel Bear miss Whore Webber gave Emma is. Some Guardian Angel that turned out to be.

(Yes, I have the ability to make EVERYTHING Whore's fault.)

I also want to add that poor Dr. Kelly can't quite catch a break. Sure, she's getting a lot of screen time, but at the same time, she's GOT to be tired of pregnant women yelling at her. First Carly not wanting to terminate the baby or tell Jax, then Robin being a crazy nutcase...she probably wanted to fall down those stairs right along with Emma.

I love Matt. I really do. He only needs five seconds on screen, and I'm drooling all over the place. I think I want him to have my babies. Or Maxie's. I like her with Matt I think. It keeps her away from the rest of the goon squad, at least, and I think she needs a break from being around Lulu and Spin. I need the Maxie I love back.

Speaking of Maxie, I loved her moment with Jason. It was, of course, drenched in "Spinelli is my essential person" context, but when she started poking him to wake up, I had to laugh. And then he just wakes up and grabs her arm in a "you better stop touching me before I punch you in the face" kind of way. Bahaha, love it.

But of COURSE Spinelli has to make his way on screen and Maxie immediately goes into "Spinelli is my essential person" mode. Jesus. She needs to stop groveling over Spinelli and go get her some Matt. (disclaimer: I LOVE the Spixie frienship, but only as that; a friendship)

(I also want to add, though it's not really enough to get a whole paragraph out of me, that I love Monica. That poor woman. I'd so let her adopt me.)

NuMichael is repping it on screen lately. He pretends to be in a coma like a champ. Good job, Drew, you keep laying down like a pro!

Whore and Nik....I'm not even going to comment on this one. I'll leave it to Toph or Kelli.

Carly and Jax have a wonderful marriage, let me tell you. Jax keeping secrets from Carly about Michael's shooting, Carly keeping secrets from Jax about the pregnancy...at least Jax finally found out the truth though. When's he going to open his mouth about Claudia? (And by open his mouth, I mean to Carly, since the rest of Port Charles seemingly already knows, or at least will before she does.)

But man, tough decision. 50/50 chance that the baby can be fine or that Carly can die. Those are hard odds, and to be honest, I don't know what I would do. I'd hope for more support than Carly has been getting though. Everyone is so gung ho she just terminate the pregnancy. I support you, Carly. You have that baby. I'll take those odds.

(P.S....it better be a girl, and they better not be jinxing it. I want Carly to have a girl, but at the same time, it would be funny if they had a boy, seeing as Jax already bought the entire girl section of the baby store)

Random: I love Uncle Mac. Everyone should have an Uncle Mac.

I think Claudia is horrible at placing hits and should just...stop. First, obviously, the whole Michael incident. And now...okay, you want Jerry dead, I understand that. But you hire some idiot who wires the explosives to Jerry's automatic car key? Those things work from really far away, dumbass. Jerry could have been no where near the car and pushed the button and BOOM, car explodes and Jerry is fine. DUMB. ASS. Just...stop placing hits. You suck at it.

I don't know why they bother ever admitting Jason into the hospital. He wakes up and walks out as if nothing even happened. Stop wasting hospital rooms on this guy. He's like freaking Superman. Without the Kryptonite.

One thing to say about Lucky and Embecca: Today they made the perfect "ugly hair" couple. That is all.

YES! Scorpio (and Whore, apparently) family intervention! I'm a wee bit excited for that, for two reasons: One, it'll hopefully finally end this whole Robin's okay, no she's not, yes she is, no she's not, crazy PPD crap. And two, I hear Robin lashes out at Maxie of all people, and I'm curious to view that.

So here's to tomorrow not disappointing me too much, and that this show doesn't end up plummeting down the stairs like baby Emma and Whore's wheelchair!

Neurotically Yours,
Syph
