chrysalitronOkay, here's the deal. For right now, I'm back to doing the rambles.....but I think I'm only going to do it three days a week (Monday/Thursday/Friday). My Tuesdays and Wednesdays are just too hectic, and by the time I get around to watching the show, I'm in a bad mood and it makes it that much harder to care. So for now, I'm easing back in slowly and seeing how it goes.
And on that note, Thursday rambles will still be a little later than normal. Work-n-stuff, you know.
So, I think I'm fairly caught up on what's happened in the last few weeks, but if I miss something, I apologize in advance. Bear with me! :)
My first day back, and not only has Greg Vaughan cut his hair, but he's also cavorting around shirtless and wet for Fun In The Sun. Aww - what a nice homecoming present.
Emily: The worst is over, right?
Uh, actually.....you're still here. So, no, it looks like the worst is not yet over. Pity.
Soooo....Alexis is, what, three months pregnant? Maybe? And she's already been in peril about twenty times thus far. This bodes well for the rest of her pregnancy. That kid's probably going to come out with crutches and a concussion.
Sam: We don't know what Reese's agenda is....
Jason: It doesn't matter.
Yeah, because it's not like she could put you in jail or anything. Oh, wait. Never mind.
Sonny: Are you starting to like me a little bit?
Not really. But maybe that's because I'm a bit turned off by the grease slick that has lodged itself on top of your head. I mean, come on, sweetheart - I understand the need for hair products, but you've taken it a little bit too far.
Emily: Hi, Jase....hi, Sam. I came by to see how you were doing.
And I'm sure that this situation is not going to turn into All About Emily. No way! That won't happen! Right?
Jason: [Sam] could tell I wanted to be alone with you....
Okay, maybe it's because I've been gone and I'm not used to Jason's Borg-like intensity.....but the way he said that and looked at Emily, I kind of went "Dude, gross, she's your sister!"
Is this the part where I'm supposed to boo and hiss at Elizabeth for feeling insecure about Lucky's closeness to Princess Poor Me? Because, really, that's just not happening.
Aww, poor sad Carly. I'm almost glad I missed the last few weeks, because even in these few moments, I'm already like "Honey, come have a hug." I probably would have been a basket case during the actual memorial.
Sooo.....AJ's all dirty, and confusing Michael, and......yeah, I still think he's adorable. That's wrong, right?
Wait, is Sonny standing on a box, or is Reese way short? Because he's kind of towering over her, and I'm really confused. Maybe that's why she keeps wearing the stiletto boots - she's really a midget.
Jason: Emily, you wanted to tell me, or you wouldn't have come over here in the first place.
Hah! I love how even Jason is like "I know you didn't come over here out of the goodness of your heart, so let's drop the act and just focus on you, since that's all you want anyway, right?"
What's up with the gooey music while Emily tells her brother that she's been raped? That seems a little.....strange.
Blah blah Durant is evil blah blah I don't care. Hey, Reese looks kinda cute today, though - the hair, the dress? I like it.
Reese: I'm pretending to have feelings for Sonny to win his trust....
Oh, that sounds like fun!.......Not. Let's bring back Billy Warlock so I can ogle him a little more - that sounds like a better time to me.
Well, apparently, in the time I've been gone, Sonny has still not learned how to knock on someone's door before he just walks in. *sigh* If I lived in Port Charles, I think I would have some kind of cattle prod attached to the door, so if someone tried to just walk in, they'd get a shock. Literally.
Emily: Thanks for not making some standard trite response....
Uh, has she met Jason before? She's lucky if she even gets a response, trite or no.
Jason: Have you been tested for diseases or anything......I'm not saying you have to do it.....
You know, I know that nobody wants the poor pwincess to feel inconvenienced, but I think I'd rather go through some uncomfortable tests as opposed to finding out years later that I have an incurable disease, and better yet, I've passed it on to other people I love. (Especially since it's Emily, who seems to have a new soulmate each year). I know this show is about as responsible as a hyperactive toddler, but come on.....if you're going to tell the story, at least make an attempt, you know? Right now, the message I'm getting is "You can do what you want - getting tested is nasty and scary and if you don't like it, you certainly shouldn't have to do it!" That just seems like the wrong message to send. And this was the show that used to give us the Nurse's Ball?
What's up with the streamers hanging off of Sam's wrists? I'm getting the feeling that Jason had her tied up somewhere and she managed to escape. Did I miss another panic room storyline?
I like how, when Lorenzo agreed that Sonny had cause to worry, Carly shot him this look like "Thanks for your lack of help, genius." Heh. Randomly, she looks good in pink.
I'm hoping that Emily has changed clothes sometime in the last few weeks, because I'm pretty sure she had that sweater on the last time I tuned in.
Am I the only one who thinks that Jason totally didn't react to Emily's announcement? You'd have thought they were talking about what to have for lunch or something. What, he can't get upset unless there's someone to kill, and since Connor is dead already, the thrill is gone? Or does he just not care about Emily's drama anymore? Because if so......man, I am SO with him on that one.
AJ: Being hungry is the worst feeling in the world......it reminds me of the time Sonny hung me up in a meat locker....
I know I shouldn't be on AJ's side here, but I kind of can't help it. Everybody in Michael's life has been wrong in one way or another, but it's been played out for so long as "AJ is the evil overlord of the universe, and Sonny came down from the heavens to save poor Michael." Personally, I'm glad to see another side of the story coming out.
Sonny: You got a problem with me taking precautions?
Oh, no, honey. I just have a problem with you in general.
Ric: Your pulse is good....
So is her stomach. Wow. I'm a little bit jealous.
Emily: Has Elizabeth left?
Lucky: Yeah, she had to go to work.
Emily: I'm sorry for leaving you alone.....
What, can't Lucky be left on his own anymore? Did he revert back to a five-year-old and I missed it? I know he just got out of the hospital, but he seems to be doing pretty well to me. He can't be left alone for five minutes?
Emily: What if I'd chosen you.....
Hmm, so not only is she making eyes at the man her friend has feelings for, he's also the brother of the man she's MARRIED to, who has done nothing personally to hurt her. That's special. This is why I can't like this character, people. Regardless of whether she's hurting or not, her first priority is always herself and her feelings. Elizabeth, Lucky, Nikolas, Zander - who cares about them? It's all about Emily and what makes her feel better. And we're supposed to like her and root for her? I don't think so.
Carly: Please bless Michael in heaven....
Aww. I'm not sure how spoiled anyone is around here, so I'll be vague - but I think the writers' decision, in regards to the character of Carly, is such a bad idea. I'm all for just letting go and leaving it as is.
It might be my typical disdain for Sonny speaking, but........ReeSon bores the CRAP out of me already. And I'm pretty sure it's just going to get worse. *sigh*
Tomorrow: Carly makes the sour lemon face over ReeSon. Come on, sweetie, I don't care for them either, but you're so much prettier when you smile! Jason is depressed - which is totally understandable, because encounters with Emily depress me, too. Speaking of Princess Poor Me, she's making eyes at Lucky, but I'm sure they'll find some way to spin it so she looks like the sweetest, most delicate flower ever, instead of a manipulative selfish little tramp.
Yep - weeks away have not dimmed the twit hatred, I'm afraid. See you guys Thursday! :)

Date: 2005-03-23 01:25 am (UTC)But, yeah....it was a weird acting choice. Lots of people were like "Wait, Emily told Jason? Like, really?" just because Jason totally didn't react.
