and then there was light....

I was watching today's show and in the segment with the robber Jill tells Chance someone "cut the phone lines and the power lines". How is it that the power was on in the house then when the officer arrived to take their statement? Now THAT'S what you call an efficient electric company!

more soap opera "sense"

Why would a recovering alcoholic keep alcohol in the living room where she spends a lot of time?

Why would Katherine keep alcohol in the house at ALL?!

thoughts on wednesday's show

When did Mac become a doctor, and why in God's name did they sit there trying to diagnose Katherine instead of calling for an ambulance immediately?!

And taking her in a CAR when she could have had a stroke or heart attack?

Good farking grief. It's hard to believe there were well educated people in that room because they certainly acted like complete idiots.

LOVED IT when Tyra yelled, 'Screw you, Devon, screw you!' He's so damn self righteous, just like his dad. I actually feel sorry for her when Devon says crap like Neil will never love her like he did Dru. He will never love another women like Dru because they aren't Dru.

Have you noticed that Y&R never even HINTS at people having a relationship with a Higher Power UNTIL they're in trouble or someone is dying? We've had so many 'come to Jesus' meetings this week, I feel like I'm watching Pat Robertson.

two good shows in a row?! it's the end of the world as we know it

Another good show today. I can't wait for Lily to connect the dots between Chloe, Billy and the baby. If for no other reason than I can't STAND the thought of a couple named Billy and Lily. UGH.

One thing I like about Phyllis is that she always seems to regret how she and Nick got together. One thing that I hate about Nick is that nothing seems to stick to his cheating ass. When he cheated with Grace, she was the tramp, despite the fact that HE was the one was married. When Nick cheated with Phyllis, again he was the one who was married and she was labeled the 'husband stealing bitch'.

I LMAO at Lauren starring at Katherine the entire time. Great scenes.

What's with Chloe's belly? The other day when she was sitting on the couch with Billy, she looked like a beached whale. Today she looked about five months pregnant. And what kind of a twit would buy her former housekeeper mother a cookbook? Great imagination there, Chloe. Why not buy her a new apron?

Gloria, how's it gonna go down?

LMAO @ Gloria realizing she was stuck in jail while Katherine was free as a bird...LOL! Serves her right for being such a user.

And how in the world does she expect Jack to get her out when the judge revoked her bail?

me, me, me

Like mother, like daughter. Victoria has learned well from Mommy.

First, Victoria turns Sabrina's death into a "me? why me?!" thing, saying it was all her fault.

Now, Nikki is to blame for Chow, Sabrina AND Katherine's death. Geez, she's got quite the growing list of sins.

john, the friendly, but stupid ghost

If John is dead and an all wise ghost, wouldn't he know that Katherine isn't REALLY dead?

BTW, what did Jack mean by "our Katherine" as if there's another Katherine on the show.

how furrrr-midible

What is up with the Y&R wardrobe department?!

Nicki, Katherine and Jill were all in the same office. Jill was wearing a raincoat, Nikki was wearing a winter coat, complete with huge fur collar and Katherine wasn’t wearing any coat. LOL!

the young and the TOTALLY boring

Oooh, Nicki, SHUT THE HELL UP about Victor already! Who gives a shit? Cut the ex-wife strings already. He wishes you were dead, can't you do the same?

I hate to see this Katherine/Marge storyline revisited. I’m guessing Katherine’s going to do a switch to avoid going to see a doctor. Or have Marge take her place while she goes to see a doctor on her own.

Why is it that every time Jack is a “bad boy” he tries to bribe Sharon with a trip or a weekend away? He’s such a jerk, and his own worst enemy. He treats women like this all the time. He lies and hides things, then gives the little boy pout/ far away thinking expression and tries to placate them with stupid platitudes. I can’t stand him.

Love how Nick just decides on his own that he’s going to Europe and not coming back till he finds Victor. Nice how he talks things over with his wife. Like father, like son.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Let me get this straight: Kevin hotwires Katherine's car and neither the police nor Katherine NOTICE that it's been hotwired?! Wouldn't the car alarm have sounded the minute Kevin tried to break into it? I find it hard to believe she had a tracking device but not an alarm.

And aren't we repeating the "taking advantage of someone who isn't right mentally?" storyline?

Wasn't it sweet to see Gloria encouraging her son....to once again, commit a crime?!

The sloppy details are what annoy me most about this batch of writers.

thursday's rant

How Zappoto lost his groove...
Why he hung around with TGVN, of course. His “poor poor pitiful me” routine is depressing even the dog. What’s with the sketch of Sabrina Victor is staring at? Doesn’t the man have any photos of their time together? To me they seemed like one of those couples who would have their portraits taken in cutesy poses every week, don't you think? Pics of them in identical outfits, identical colors, on the stairs, outside by a tree, with the dog...blah blah, endless poses. And yet, not one picture of Sabrina is sitting on the piano for Victor to pick up and gaze at longingly like Nikki used to do every week with the kids when her "job" used to be walking around the living room wringing her hands. Not even a damn video of Vic & Sabrina's happy times edited together with their favorite love song.

Why does Nikki think Victor is going to answer her phone calls when he won’t even allow her on the property? What part of "leave me alone" doesn't she get?

What’s with Phyllis saying she has a “HUGE stake” in Restless Style? Forgive me if I’m wrong, but Nick shelled out the $ for their half of the investment to begin with, and his daddy covered the loan for Jack’s share this week. So what IS her contribution? Other than being the best (and apparently the only) web master in the Free World? We know this because she reminds us ever so frequently.

Why would the Mexican authorities contact the Genoa City DA’s office? No one knows about Victor’s connection to Walter in Mexico and as far as everyone knows, he drowned during a storm. Even so, Victor has nothing to worry about as far as Heather is concerned. We’ve all seen her case solving “skills”. Gotta laugh though at how the show’s producers aren’t missing the opportunity to show her in her underwear every chance they can. Good thing. Lord knows she has no "assets" when it comes to beings an assistant DA.

Congrats to Nikki on once again magically curing her addiction. First it was the pill addiction she magically cured during a cruise. Now it’s the alcoholism. Even though she drank herself under the table in Mexico, she hasn’t touched a drink since. It must be the power of her love for Victor that’s “curing” her. If I strain really hard, I can hear the sound of tiny violins...

Colleen thinks Daniel wants a “girl who won’t cheat on him the minute his back is turned.” Hmm, guess that leaves her out then. Didn’t she sleep with da Professor while dating JT?

Did Gloria really think getting her hands on some stock would be as simple as telling Katherine she had some lame ass dream in which John told her to ask for some of his shares of Jabot as a gift? Does she think Katherine’s that gullible? “What a wonderful way to honor your friend.“ And how much stock is out there? Jack sold his, Katherine has 51% and Glo and Jeff have been busy “buying up shares” for weeks now. Wouldn’t the Abbott family own the largest portion of the other 49%? As well as Jill? Sounds like another case of the writers thinking the viewers are stupid. BTW, I've been reading that Ashley comes back for good. Wouldn't surprise me. They're not using her at all now on B&B.

HOW LONG is that big baby Jack going to keep boo hoo'ing about losing Jabot? FUCKING get over it already. If he tears up about it one more time, I’m gonna puke.

Kevin still has an IT job with Jabot?! We know this because he’s there all the times. Seriously, I can't remember the last time he set foot in their offices, but I'm sure he was committing a crime at the time.

family is gold

Heather needs to take off the rose colored glasses and see Adam for who he really is: a power hungry, "boo hoo, I don't have a mommy" jerk.

I love how Esther had to explain to Jill that Chloe/Kate really WAS her child. As if she wouldn't recognize her own child. And what's with Chloe's "I wasn't good enough to live at the Chancellor Estate" b.s.? Katherine paid for her schooling. Wasn't that enough?

every picture tells a story

Katherine is Chloe/Kate's godmother and yet she didn't recognize her? All these years, Esther has never shown her a picture of Kate? Sloppy writing there.

I LMAO when Victor wrote "....YOU carry the very spirit and sole of Victor Newman - the best parts of me - charity, generosity and forgiveness..." to Victoria. FORGIVENESS?! The man doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Victor gives Sabrina's things to charity, Heather ships Victor's crap to Good Will and now Katherine sends all the party food to the homeless shelter? Hell, those po' folks in GC are living high on the hog lately.

one man's floor is another man's ceiling

Katherine: "How did such a little girl like you get such a great big beautiful voice?"

Ana: "Mom always says it's a gift from God."

No, it's a fucking annoyance.

*Keeping my fingers crossed they send her away to that school in New Hampshire*


Does anybody else think it's stupid that Devon is writing music with a little kid?

i think i'm moving but i go nowhere

Victor: “Sabrina’s friends are always welcome.” What friends?! She was so desperate for a Maid of Honor when Victoria refused that she had to ask her assistant.

Doctor: “She’s putting up quite a fight.”
Michael: “Thanks to you, Victor.”
Doctor: “She’s holding her own.”
Michael: “Without Victor’s intervention, do you think she would have even gotten this far?”
Oh, GAWD, the ass kissing in this show is unbelievable! Makes me think Eric B wrote this entire storyline.

Adam is walking around that hospital looking about as interested as a fat man in a health food store.

Katherine: “If I could wave a magic wand and make it all go away, I would.”
Wonder if this is the same magic wand that Bush would wave to lower the gas prices?

Nothing gets past Adrian. Amber answers the door with snot and mascara smeared all over her face and the first thing he says is, “You read the article right? Can you believe this crap?”
Speaking of snot, it’s a good thing Jana wiped hers off her nose before she kissed Sabrina’s head. I don’t think she would have appreciated the snot in her hair.

The DA told Heather she “did good”?! She has NO SOLID PROOF that David Chow killed JiMin, other than Daddy’s speculation. Why do they even need police and attorneys in Genoa City? Just let Paul Williams, crackerjack P.I, to solve the case. And the DA asking her back is almost as funny as her saying there might be a “whole string of unsolved murders” connected to Chow. How many people died in GC in the last few months?!

Great scene with Nikki, Nick and the horse.

let's spot the inconsistencies!

When did Paul become judge and jury? Because he THINKS Chow killed JiMin and planted evidence to frame Victor and Jack, it’s an automatic fact now? And what gives with the cop giving him all the information on the case, as well as JT, simply because Paul’s old man USED to be a cop? Heather shows up to assure Jabot isn’t liable when the police haven’t even done their report yet? WTH? If anyone was liable, wouldn't it be the limo company? Then Heather and Paul are allowed to trample all through a “designated crime scene”? Do the initials O.J. ring a bell to anyone?

Katherine said Jill sent fear and chaos through Jabot’s “highest corporate level”? Um, hello? Aren’t Katherine and Jill and Nikki Jabot’s “highest corporate level”?

If Chloe only slept with Cane a week or so ago, how could she even be a candidate for an ultrasound this early?

The writers have got to get Glo and Jeff OUT of the pool house. Surely they can afford to remodel so it doesn’t look like the same set. Having them live there is like expecting us to believe Candy Spelling would live in a Motel 6.

Victoria just HAD to apologize to Sabrina, then she gets in there and starts talking about the old days of their friendship. She knows Sabrina is dying, but doesn’t bother to say, “I love you,” or “I’m sorry I misjudged you" when she leaves. This is probably setting us up for weeks of “why didn’t I apologize when I had the chance?!” angst.

While the show is more interesting, I’m not sure if it’s the stories that are more interesting or pointing out all of the inconsistencies in the writer’s sloppy work that’s got me happy.
