I’m starting with Jason and Brenda’s wedding because I haven’t laughed at TV that hard in a long time. Some weddings make me cry with emotion. Some weddings speak of tradition, stability and commitment. Occasionally the big aisle trip promotes the sheer joy of living. This wedding, well, let’s see, demonstrated sheer determination and commitment to a cause. Every word and gesture showed how much they didn’t want to do the I do’s. Mr. Isuzu and Bunny had me rolling. Brenda says no way am I wearing a rented wedding dress so obliging Bunny suggests the white since “that don’t get much use. (elbows Brenda) Get it?”
Has
anyone seen Elvis lately? Because my husband and I are going to renew our vows
next summer and I’d like to invite him.
Oh wait, didn’t I hear he’s left the building?
I guess he moved to Las Vegas and now picks up work singing background
music for tacky weddings and elevators. He
accentuated the wedding mood perfectly.
No holds
barred, my favorite part was Jason and Brenda in the elevator on the way up to
the hotel room. Never let it be
said that Jason has no expression because both he and Brenda conveyed their
thoughts perfectly as the passionate, pretzeling couple got on and off.
The Red Dress Lady who kissy faced Jason cracked me up as Brenda
grabbed Jason’s arm possessively. And
then the two guys showed up who did nothing but stand there and freak out
Jason, by then I was rolling. I
love modern technology – especially VCR’s because I’ve replayed that
scene several times.
What
wedding ring did Brenda select? Surely
Jason isn’t wearing Jax’s wedding ring.
Is Brenda wearing Jax’s ring and Jason one that matches?
Inquiring minds (mine at least) want to know.
I know
you all are waiting for the words since the BIG EVENT occurred this week.
Everyone together now say ooooooooh, say aaaaaaaaaaaah.
It wasn’t the nipple chest so beautifully displayed on the EOS main
page, but the mature chest of a man who’s passed the ain’t-life-sweet
stage because by now sweet has more to do with the rolls and lumps that easily
develop in odd places like belly, butt and hips. Nevertheless, I tried to suck every second of enjoyment out
of the brief bare buff chest scene because if the pattern continues, Jason’s
chest goes back into hiding for another year or so.

Could
Carly and Sonny be any more terrible friends to Jason?
Bobbi suggested that Jason just might get hurt in this wedding mess and
Carly’s reply was a casual, “That’s what Jason does.”
Please, Carly, don’t ever be my friend.
Sonny assumes that Jason did it for him.
Which he did in part, but how arrogant is it of Sonny to assume it so.
As much as I enjoy the Brenda/Sonny/Carly/Jax/Skye/Jason Show it made my little heart pitty pat to know Luke was making his way home. However, the poor half crazed man Lucky and Liz called Luke bore little resemblance to the Luke I remember
Who
is this bitter, beat up lookin’ guy?
Has
anyone seen this man?

I keep
wondering what Liz thought she and Lucky were going to do because she packed
some amazing clothes for their little adventure.
Biker leather and mini skirts just wouldn’t have made my
need-to-cram-in-the-suitcase list. The funniest line this week goes to Liz who drives up to the
prisoners with her carefully flat tire, climbs out of the car, legs showing,
and comments, “I haven’t been this flat since the 4th grade.”
It’s not that the line was so funny, just that obviously she’s
experiencing a body image disorder, because she’s pretty darn flat now.
I love how Alexis conveys class while Scotty promotes self-aggrandizement. Alexis’ dignity stayed intact as Scotty used Alcazar’s Grand Jury nonHearing for his own glory and afterwards as she lashed out at Scotty at the injustice of Alcazar’s abrupt freedom. The ending scene as Alcazar turned to see the PC crowd staring hostilely at him created a scary tone.
Be
afraid Luis, very afraid
Only
one part struck a little humor into the courtroom drama and that occurred at
the end as the music played and Brenda lunged at Alcazar and Jason restrained
her. I noticed that Carly looked
on with a wide-eyed startled expression and that’s because she probably
expected Brenda to pull a gun and shoot him in the courtroom.
After all, that’s what Carly would have done.
Apparently,
GH didn’t feel up to the task of tackling the gay teen issue so they
switched Lucas’ story to the mind-boggling dyslexia issue.
Before anyone gets upset, I am not saying dyslexia isn’t serious,
just that I jumped to the wrong conclusion as to what Lucas’ problem would
be. At the Halloween Benefit all
I saw was a teenage drinking problem and the glaring omission that Lucas has
diabetes so drinking for him is far more dangerous than a mere step on the
wild side. Pfft! To this story so
far.
Courtney
shoots Coleman, she doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive and she
calls…Jason, of course. I think
she needs to memorize a new number, like 9-1-1. You know, the number a person calls for an AMBULANCE!
And by the way, I stand corrected.
Since Coleman was the masked stalker he apparently isn’t as hair
obsessive as I previously thought. Also, he’s passed sleazy and moved straight to the sicko
category. This could be a good
story but I wish they’d follow through with the details. Mean Edward or not, Courtney shouldn’t have left the
Halloween bash alone and she definitely needs to remember to lock the door
behind herself. Technically, it
wouldn’t have made a difference since Coleman had already entered to bask in
Daisyville, but if Courtney’s so terrified she should occasionally
make an effort to act it. Ring,
ring, surprise it’s the other stalker who hopefully isn’t AJ
because there’s obsessed (picture Jason), sicko (picture Coleman), and
mentally deranged (please let us not be forced to picture AJ).
Edward
can be as winky, grandfatherly as he wants towards Brenda but I’m not
softening for a while. I
haven’t forgiven, nor forgotten his appalling behavior towards Alexis and
Carly last week not to mention his emotional bullying of Courtney.
Lila needs to send Reginald to babysit that man so he doesn’t
terrorize any more women.
“I am
never leaving again,” Skye declared to Jax using the fatal absolute
statement, so she’s outta Jax’s life soon.
Unless Vanessa Marcel doesn’t extend her contract in which case
she’ll probably just be tossed aside until Brenda makes her next big exit.
Because while Brenda’s on the canvas she’ll have to kiss and have
sex with as many players as possible not to mention mess up as many
relationships as can be crammed into her little visit.
If she goes I am hoping that she’ll be written off in a permanent
way. I don’t have anything against this character but Jax and
Sonny should be allowed to move on. If
she stays she can go for broke with whomever they throw in the pot with her
and she definitely makes the pot simmer.
Now if she could just get a handle on her underwear…
I can
take or leave most of the hairstyles and jewelry on the show.
I remain indifferent to viewing every skinny woman's belly button.
And ribcages in tight sweaters and shirts don’t flick my Bic.
But I HATE the see through tops with odd color bras showing, bra straps
peeking out, and Brenda's panties showing. Enough of the underwear
already! I'd rather just assume
she's wearing undies, I don't feel a need to SEE them. I have watched
for the past few years and whatever hits soapland during a season, a year
later, Penny's, Target, Wal-Mart etc. are sporting that statement.
I can just hear and see the arguments now as junior high and high
school kids try wearing see-thru to school. And if Mary-Kate and Ashley
buy into it, my daughter and I are going to fight.
Yeah!
It’s sweeps time. I love
watching and knowing that all the stops are comin’ out.
Of course if a story or episode bombs, it’s that much bigger and
worse. Here’s hoping that each
story goes for broke successfully! Thanks
for reading.
