Bwah! Damn, I've missed you guys! (sniffle)

I would say the former needs a good shove. I have here a nice shiny piece of plate glass with Mia's name all over it. Where's Liza?

Gah, I am *so* very sorry that I missed the Mia-shaped crater incident. Do you know if there's anywhere that I could possibly download that fabulous clip? It sounds like some definite must-see material.

I probably have it on tape somewhere still (who'd tape over THAT piece of gold?) but I'm at an impasse on distribution as I only own one VCR. I had three but most of them broke.

GREASY news!

http://www.soaptownusa.com/

He will be on a CBS soap on 02/05. They don't say which one, but there is a character name. Calling CBS watchers (Looking at you, Bluedevilblue ... )

Oh and there is an Alexa Havins interview with Amanda.
You're welcome Amanda. You're welcome Alexa.

It's not Y&R, I think Rosanna is Cady McClain's character on ATWT, but I'm not sure since I stopped watching ATWT when Another World went to 90 minutes a gazillion years ago (are John Dixon and Lisa Somebody still on that show?). I believe kariyaki watches ATWT and should be able to confirm (and if she doesn't watch whatever show Greasy is on now, I'm sure she will that day).

I must have some sort of psychic power because I haven't lurked in here in at least a week and then when I come in tonight, there's my screen name. Now if only I could sense the lottery winning numbers . . .

mirashima: I love you. No, really. For the fourth pic alone, heh. Talk about your Fusion, I don't think wild horses could tear them apart...and I. love. it.
The Liza-shove was gold I tells you. Sorry I can't help on the tape hook-up :(

The board shutdown gave me minor cardiac arrest, its nice to see y'all again.

The Greasy news has been mentioned a couple of times. He'll be on ATWT on the 5th, unfortunately in just a dayplayer role. I'm so there. Well, I'm always there since I watch that soap every day but you get the idea...


Technically. It's not like we see them, though.

Yay, the boards are back! After Kinks withdrawal, TWoP board withdrawal has to be the worst.

Anyone feel it's just coincidence that in the new banner ad of Bianca/Kendall/Erica, Kendall is wearing a top the same color as Bianca's? Yeah, I didn't think so.


Ooo, someone finally gets to have a good dream. I'd kill to see VengefulSniper!Bianca. The hotness...oh, the hotness...(fans self)

Speaking of such, I actually played Bianca's new flashbacks back in slo-mo a few times and I'm really confused now. In the second clip of the flashback, where we first see the arm rising, there appears to be a ladder in the foreground. Then the arm keeps rising in the third clip and the ladder's gone--camera's panned it out of the shot, I guess. Then looking at the original clip again, of the silhouette, there are some horizontal shadows that could be ladder rungs. Or not. But I'm pretty certain the second clip indeed shows a ladder. In which case, WTF? What would anyone have needed with a ladder that night? Did the killer come down Michael's chimney? Did Bianca climb up on the ladder and hide the "it" that she needs to find (if indeed the "it" is an object and not just a metaphorical reference to finding her missing memories)?

Erica. Shut. Up. Whether or not she liked the conversation topic, she should've registered that Bianca was asking her if she loves Bianca unconditionally and reassured Bianca on that point at least. But that would've involved her thinking about someone other than herself for a moment.


Hee. Well, I can't disappoint my pervy sister Mystic0, now can I? Anyway, Kinks rocked and this ep is definitely going to be saved on my Tivo for easy viewing as long as possible. I'll touch two lesser instances of Kinks first--Walt Willey's line reading of "They love each other" cracked my shit up. He did not sound as if he meant it in a platonic sisterly way. Then Erica whining that there was nothing right about any of this. I thought it was very meta. You got that right, Erica--it's all Pervy. Hee. And when Livia was informing Kendall that they only had one goal, to get her acquitted, who else mentally filled in Kendall's reply as: "I've got my lov--er, sister for that."

When I saw the first Kinks scene, with Bianca and Kendall separated by a row of chairs, I got worried for a second that someone with no sense of humor in TIIC had noticed all the SisYay and decreed that Kinks must always be physically separated now in an attempt to counteract the perviness. But I need not have worried. The second scene more than made up for it. I really wasn't too far off with my comment about a potential Kinks commitment ceremony, huh? Bianca holding Kendall's hand in both of hers while looking into her eyes and swearing lifelong devotion while the camera holds them in the same frame--it looked just like any soap wedding (except for the clothes). Hee. That said, Mystic0, I can't begin to decide between the "We're together, always" and the sultry look bits, so I'm choosing to simply look at it as one long sequence of Kinks deliciousness. Amusing little thing from the latter bit that I haven't seen mentioned yet--when Bianca pulls her coat open, Kendall's eyes go right to her rack and she smiles. Not that I blame her. Hee. Kendall's "I take that back" and the sultry look Knocked. Me. Out. Yeah, Kendall felt like an aunt right then. I'm so sure. Kendall really does glow--shimmer--around Bianca. It's so fucking obvious they're madly in love and doing it. Hee. Kinks forever!

Well, shit, now you've got me believing the Erica red herring. Only she would need a ladder. Unfortunately, she never uses one to get over herself.

Before I start fangirl Kinks gushing, The ladder:

Wasn't there blood spatter up on Mikey's mantle? Maybe Adam was shot at Mikey's before Mikey got there and they were cleaning it up. Then Mikey came home, Palmer and Adam booked, and the killing took place. Yes, I pulled that entire theory out of my ass. I just suck at spec, man.



Hee! I soooooo went there.



A-freakin'-men. A total word on your Erica rant. It just goes to show how in denial Erica is that she totally blanked on what Bianca was clearly laying out for her. Twit. Seriously, Bianca has been right on about how the baby news would spiral Erica but I think even she didn't know the extent of how far this is going to plummet Erica off the deep end. Cripes...



Ah, good to know that wasn't totally in my head. He sounded like he was defending a couple for sure. Thanks, Walt!



I kinda loved that. It heightened the romantic tension (hee!) and I knew it would fail to keep them from groping at each other. Really, these two have slid into the pattern of grabbing each other All. The. Time. I don't know if it's scripted or not, but they've definitely hit the point where all the touching seems natural and unconscious. And I'm a very happy, pervy camper.



Dayum, that was hot. *rowr* Just wow, man. Was it just me or was the dialogue, while vague enough and open to interpretation, really suggestive? That whole exchange slayed me. On a slightly less pervy note (as if!), the "we're together" part was really sweet. Bianca has become the master at constantly reassuring Kendall, which is good because Kendall, with her 101 trust issues, really needs that. It's really too sweet how they interact together. Well, sweet and disturbingly hot.

I just can't imagine what anyone would've needed the ladder for unless they wanted to be on Mikey's roof for some reason. What that reason could be is beyond me. It looked like that whole part was outside the condo, though I could be wrong very easily. The darkness kind of points that way--remember, Kendall unscrewed the light bulb outside before Aidan hauled her off.


I liked that Jack finally realized that telling Erica about the baby isn't going to be as easy as he thought. Not that he thought it was easy before, exactly, but he was definitely underestimating it. I think the part where he kept pointing out to Erica that Bianca was fine with the idea of Kendall's baby and Erica just kept on being completely obstinate regardless--all the while insisting that it is for Bianca's sake that she has such a problem with Assfetus--is when it really started getting through to him.


No kidding. They simply cannot do a scene anymore without touching. Go find a room, already! Clearly, the tension of sitting in a courtroom together all day too far apart to touch sent them into overdrive. Kendall looked like she couldn't wait to get Bianca somewhere private to brainstorm. Hee. I agree the dialogue was completely suggestive, especially because the obligatory deflecting sister-references were fewer than usual.


Word. Kendall just looks at her happiest and most content around Bianca. I really liked how she was all upset and worried, and then Bianca calmed her down and put a hell of a smile on her face. By the end, fears about Erica looked very far from Kendall's mind. Kinda reminiscent of Bianca making Kendall laugh last week in the middle of all the trial stuff. Kendall being Kendall, she is always going to find herself in some kind of trouble, so it's nice knowing that she has someone completely devoted in her life now who is always able to make her feel better no matter what.


That too. Snerk. If they take the eyefucking any further, my TV will blow up for sure.

I think you really hit the nail on the head with this point, Mirashima: “whether [Greenlee] realizes it or not, is plotting to get Kendall locked up for life.” This is I think the thing that is most pissing me off about the way the writers are trashing Greenlee lately: they have made her too stupid to realize that the most obvious consequence of her plotting is Kendall being convicted. HELLO!!! They’re making Greenlee completely oblivious to it, and won’t even let Ryan point it out to her repeatedly (which would make some sense). Arggghhhh! (And thanks for the yummy pics, too.)

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Sleds getting a little crowded, I may have to sit on someone’s lap, I think. Glad the boards are back up, I was starting to get twitchy from withdrawal.

(childish snicker at the dirty joke that sentence made in my head) Sorry, couldn't resist. Extreme bout of immaturity aside, Kendall's getting pretty good at reassuring too (in her abrupt and clumsy Kendall way). When Bianca apologized for putting Kendall in Erica's line of fire, Kendall was quick to play it off and make sure Binky knew she was fine. Sigh. It's sad how much I'm looking forward to seeing Mommy..uh, Auntie Kendall. There are many sides to Kendall but it's cool to see her being a nurturer and protector. Other than taking care of Erica in the rain, we haven't really gotten to see this side of Kendall. I'm digging it. It's also cool to see how instinctive Bianca is at side stepping Kendall's many neurotic land-mines. That's awesome since it's not like either sister has had much practice getting along, much less supporting one another.

I really hope that Bianca supplying Kendall with some emotional stability takes Kendall further out from under Erica's thumb. I just don't think Erica will ever be able to give Kendall the true acceptance that she craves. Even though Erica pays lip service to wanting to accept Kendall, she always seems to be looking for a reason to get her hate on and to justify that she has been right about Kendall all along. I didn't realize just how futile Kendall's quest for Erica's love was until recently when Bianca has started to beat her head against Erica's brick wall, trying to get her mother to recognize that Erica loves Kendall too. Bianca has always been one of Erica's favorite excuses to damn Kendall and now Binky has more than shown that the hatchet is buried and she loves and supports her sister, and that hasn't phased or changed Erica's tune at all. I really don't think Erica truly wants Kendall in her life at all other than when she needs her for something. That's so damn cruel. The day Kendall tells Erica to drop dead (and means it), I'll be a happy girl.



Man, did she ever. I can't get over how overtly lustly Kinks keeps getting. I will be forever floored that Eden is bringing the Yay as hard as Alicia. I expect it from Alicia (she came from the Eliza Dushku EyeShag Everyone school, after all) but Eden is surprising me. We've widely discussed that Eden has chemistry with anything but her coyly playing up the SisYay? Never woulda thunk it. Between Flirty Head Tilt and DLoFE, I'm eagerly waiting for how she'll one-up herself. 'Course Alicia's gonna have to work hard to out shine that "I take that back" sultry look. Yowza. Crap, we're gonna have to make a Kinks edit DVD. Our Dark Father would be so pleased.

I put that down to Bianca's wealth of experience. Kendall is a Mini-Erica in many ways, after all, plus there's Bianca's weakness for psychologically screwed-up women for girlfriends. But Erica's definitely the one Bianca really cut her teeth on--whenever she sets Erica off nowadays, it's done knowingly, not as a blunder.


I don't think Kendall will ever stop wanting a real relationship with Erica, but I think the fact that it's no longer her first priority is a huge step forward for Kendall. She may love Erica, but she loves Bianca and the baby more. Seeing as how I didn't think Erica would ever stop being priority #1, Kendall's already come further than I ever expected. That said, Kendall (and Bianca) will never tell Erica to get lost for good because then we'd lose much of the Kane-Montgomery family hijinks. I can live with that so long as I don't have to suffer through Erica and Bianca being particularly close, or Erica messing with Kendall's head too much.

That reminds me, I really want to see how midget Erica is able to knock Kendall off her feet. Kendall, just whack her one instead of lying there quivering with fear. It's not like Bianca hasn't demonstrated her wicked slap several times for Kendall. Tomorrow's Erica-tries-to-kill-Kendall scene looks cheesily staged. But then I always have difficulty believing Erica's a physical threat to anyone, except maybe poor old Phoebe.


At this point, I have complete faith they'll both come up with something, especially since we've doubtless got good emotional stuff coming up relating to the trial, murder mystery and baby's birth. I'm just not sure my TV will survive...

Oh, non-related spoiler for next week that cracks my shit up: Maggie, driving while upset after the kiss, hits Jamie. Snerk. I like it because #1, it's just so typical of her, and #2, it's such a soap cliche anyway. Rare is the time when we see someone driving without getting into an accident. I want to know how fast she's driving, since she hits him not hard enough to put him in the hospital, but hard enough that he obviously has a head injury, to be wanting to make out with her after that.

BIG word to that. I honestly never thought the day would come where Kendall would put Erica any lower than Priority #1.

Kendall finally realized that once Bianca gets total sacrificial behavior from someone in her life, they get to stay in some capacity or other. Totally unlike the more fickle Erica. Bianca offers emotional fulfillment without the risk of the permanent takeaway.

R the ad of three: I noticed the colors too. The other thing I noticed is the big classical column hanging over their heads.

-Multiple choice-
This column represents:

1) The authority of the court
2) The erect Cambias penis
3) The Kink's strap on
4) The classic and timeless nature of this compelling drama
5) A column is just a column
6) ( Fill in the blank with your own choice)

Yeah, Bianca will never turn on Kendall now, unless Kendall betrays her, so she's definitely the most emotionally safe choice for Kendall. And since I don't feel Kendall loves anyone as much as she loves Bianca and the baby, I don't think that'll ever happen. They're in a totally different place now from two years ago when Kendall loved Bianca, but couldn't resist her knee-jerk impulse to get back at Erica after the Champagne Incident. The only thing I could see ever tearing Kinks apart now is if they somehow disagreed over the baby to the point of fighting for custody and access, which would just be wrong. Even McTrash wouldn't do that. (Only GH's Pruza, THE lowest point of headwriting in all of daytime history, would.)

Looking at that banner ad another time, what I noticed is that it's "secrets", plural. Assfetus is only one secret. Granted, one could argue that it's two--Kendall's non-pregnancy and Bianca's pregnancy--but I still think that it's probably in reference to the murder mystery as well. One of that trio did it. Though, CKD, I see some support for your Myrtle theory in the fact one spoiler makes a big deal out of Erica convincing Myrtle to accompany her to court. If it's Myrtle I'll cry foul only because she didn't have one of the nightmares, but still, I thought I'd make you happy by pointing it out.

One final comment on the Sultry Look--I wonder if that scene was taped right before Eden's newsprintgasm. Because I certainly see where Eden would be all "cathartic, liberating, and renewing" about looking into Alicia's eyes after that. Snerk.

Bwah! I truly adore how your pervy mind works.



Hee! So true.

Damn I missed this board.

Tee-Hee, Friday was the Kinks day-o-love. Even Uncle-Daddy was pimping the Kinks. I swear this board has forever converted me to the SisYay. No one else does it better than these two.

I thought it was hilarious that not only did Greenlee plan on taking a picture of Kendall in her shower, but Greenlee also stayed hiding in the shower to catch the nekkidness in person. That just cracked me up.

Also, did no one else notice that Olivia was so obviously checking Aidan out in the courtroom? (Not that I blame the woman).

I hope that the nutty preacher puts and end to Mia and restores balance to the universe. I will be eternally grateful.

Whee, I won $100 because no one scored in the first quarter...stifling defenses are boring to watch, but at least this time profitable for me.

Okay, AMC-related, and this is in equal parts because there simply isn't enough fangirl gushing that can be done over Friday's Kinks and because we're a little close to the PToS--kariyaki's caught up on her recaps, in her usual hilarious fashion, and I enjoyed what she had to say about Friday:


Hee, and word, kariyaki. No one's going to convince me that Alicia and Eden really and truly think that is how non-incestuous sisters look at and talk to each other. Guess "aunt" is the latest word to be Kinksed.

Hugs and kisses all around! That's right, I'm a complete cuddle slut. *a kiss for the board* *two kisses for my homies* Without this place I was distraught. I had to go back and watch the Kinks Courtroom Shmoop like two, three. . .I'm going with two more times. Where to begin. . .there's just so much.



Bwah!



Ah. Ugh. I hate you! Oh. So. Hot. I can't beat that, but, I can say truthfully that I've dreamt of Alicia Minshew every night for a solid month. She always pops up somewhere. At first it was weird, but now I welcome it. Besides, she brought Eden with her last night. We were just hanging out at a food court in a giant shopping mall. But, damn it, I want your dream. Urrrrrrrr.

Oh, and mirashima thank you everso for the Kenlee/Kinks goodness. You've got to love those AMC actresses. They seem so loving and supportive of one another. You could even say they're like. . .family.



[OT]That reminds me of when my bestfriend and I were collaborating on a screenplay and decided to make a list of our dream cast were it ever optioned. I wanted Rebecca Budig in the lead and he wanted Alicia Minshew. So, after twenty minutes of arguing, I finally screamed at him, "Those two are a package deal, man! It would take five tons of TNT to blast apart Becky N' Luscious! We cast one, the other one's going to be on the set!" So, then he said, "That's true." and I won the argument. Hee. [/OT]



It was fucking hilarious. And I know that I'm not the only person on Earth who turns the shower on before I get into it. If fact, that's how most people do it. So, what I don't understand is, why did Greenlee seem so shocked about the water being turned on? Greenlee had to know perfectly well that if she were able to execute her plan, one way or another she'd end up wet. *ahem*
Oh, Greenlee. Did you ever consider a bouquet of flowers and a "Kendall I still love you"? Guess not.

All right. Enough of this malarkey. I'd thought that responding to other things first would calm me down and prevent any unfettered Kinks gushing. It ain't workin' y'all, so fuck it. . .



Oh, Kinks until the day is night and night becomes the day. Kinks until the trees and seas just up and fly away. Kinks until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4. Kinks until the day that is the day that are no more! Ooooooo, that eppy ROCKED. MY. WORLD.

First, Jackson's defense of Kinks! Oh, Jackson, you head bobbin', beautiful, bastard! You can feel the magic too. Good on ya! And like you, Black Knight, that "Kinks separated by a row a chairs" shit scared me for a second. But, I refused to believe that the Dark Father would disappoint me in such a horrific manner, so I chilled. And my patience was rewarded ten fold. In my humble opinion, Kinks was on like they've never been on before. That was the onniest Kinks that has ever been on. *leaves keyboard to splash cold water on face* I'm back. Binky: "We're together. . .always. Me: Oooooo, Binky! The Best of Bianca: The look on her face when she was placing Kendall's hand on her belly. For one insane moment, I was sure that hand was be dropped a little lower. The Best of Kendall: Kendall's eyeshagging was out. of. control. She looked like she wanted to brainstorm about her aquittal right then and there. Ah, Kinks! And you guys are right, they didn't refer to each other as "sisters" once during that scene. The only references to the two of them being sisters was Kendall's "Take care of Mom" line, and the "I feel like an aunt". It was hardly even subtextual.



You guess? I immediately assumed that "aunt" or "auntie" must be what Bianca calls her sweetheart in bed. Talk about kinky. But, hey, Binky, whatever floats your boat. . .

Seems fitting. I did the appearance tally for January and Alicia slam-dunked it once again. Two months in a row, she was on every day. Anybody tired of her yet? I'm not. I find it so odd to actually LIKE the person who screen-hogging the show. Usually, I hate that person with a fire of a thousand suns. See the Guiding Light thread re: O'Neil, Jeffrey.

Bwahahahaha, onewomanshow, to your entire post.



Nope, I never get sick of Luscious. I could do with a lot less Kryan though. Cam bugs me.

And in point of fact, neither of those references would necessarily mean that they're biological sisters. I always say "Mom" when talking about my mother to anyone, and "aunt" would be applicable for sisters-in-law, not just sisters. Frankly, I'd say things have been almost completely reversed and the fact that they're sisters is the true subtext these days. Like kariyaki said, put Lena in that scene, or heck, put Ryan or Aidan in that scene, and the overall tone really wouldn't change at all. Hee.


I'm still not either, and how long has she been keeping up this pace? For months she's only missed an ep here or there, and I'm fairly certain it's been that way at least since last March, when FEM really kicked into gear. Again I think my lack of being tired of her is due to several factors, not least that Alicia's a good actress who always gives an honest effort in her scenes, Kendall gets to interact with a lot of different people and do a lot of different things, and she has so many sides to her. It all helps keep the character fresh. Plus AMC doesn't jam her into every single storyline whether she fits there or not, which is another huge irritance factor with GL's Jeffrey and GH's Drab Four.

I'm going to take it as a hopeful sign that Cam Math dropped three eps and down one place in the rankings from last month. Boobe dropped too, yay, though unfortunately Mom of Boobe rose. Sigh. Aiden Turner's number of appearances has been really hurt ever since Kendall basically decided on Ryan over Aidan, but hopefully she'll be going back to Aidan soon enough and we can see his beefcake on our screens again on a more regular basis. And the fact that Amelia has twice as many appearances as Terri is just wrong.


Maybe Kendall is one of the minority who waits until getting into the shower, and Greenlee knows that from personal experience...

*cough* Ryan *cough*Tad. While I once liked both characters, my skeptical side thinks a good bit of keeping MEK on board and luring Cam Math is pimping multiple frontburner storylines: both are in on the Cambias murder and Tad briefly comes into the (boring) mob plot. Plus Hot! New! Love Interests! Bleh.

NB: It's been at least a week since somebody chastized us for Kinks. For shame. Where is the morality in the US?

They're all making death threats to CBS over Janet's boob.

I hadn't really thought of Tad as being jammed into every SL. I know he's been involved in the Cambias murder mystery, but mostly on the periphery and in a way that makes relative sense--i.e. it's mostly sparring with Palmer and Adam, the two characters that he actually has real history and connections with. Erica hiring him to investigate her doings is pushing it a little, OTOH, but I don't know if that's really going to be a huge plot point getting mucho airtime. Whatever really happened is likely locked up in Bianca's memory, plus Kendall is also probably aware, and so Tad's investigation really isn't needed to bring the truth out. Ryan, technically, also isn't in every SL, though I wish AMC would stick him in the Boobe SL. At the very least, it'd lessen the amount of screentime he shares with Kendall, and increase the percentage of his screentime overall that I can FF.


Hee! What about the children? Think of the children! Informing people they're going to hell loses a lot of its fun when said hell-bound people cheerfully agree, aren't repentant, and keep trying to book more passengers for the ride, so the fire-and-brimstone people have probably given up on saving our souls, while everyone else gets corrupted. Heh.

Just look at kariyaki's recaps--at the first true instance of Kinks SisYay, she was repelled and called it icky in her recap, IIRC. (Kendall's bedroom-voicing "I love you" in the clinic.) Far cry from her gleeful jokes now. Me, I was trying to ignore the SisYay for a little while, in fear that it would ruin the bonding scenes I'd wanted ever since Alicia joined the show. What a fool I was, not understanding that it would just make them so much better. Ah, Kinks. onewomanshow, your entire post was hilarious. Kinks was indeed the most on they've ever been. I commented before that Kinks is spoiling me for other HoYay subtext couples, but now I think they're also spoiling me for other gay couples, period. I've been Tivoing Buffy reruns and while I never thought Willow/Tara were the best couple ever (Alyson Hannigan never looked very comfortable), between Lianca and Kinks W/T just seems stunningly chaste and chemistry-free in comparison, even in the eps I'd originally thought they were at their best (Once More With Feeling and Tabula Rasa were both just rerun in the last few days).

Heh. I believe my exact word was "skeevy." I don't know when my turnaround was, but it happened all right.


They actually have tried that a few times. Remember when they inserted Kendall into Proteus for a little bit? And they stuck her in Maidan on the Run to liven it up as well. But it still seemed in character for her, I can't explain it. I mean, it was obvious to me that her role in those storylines was [insert Kendall here] but I didn't care. Kendall and Mauria changing that tire was certainly the only high point in the Maidan storyline.

I've searched my memory and I can only conclude that I've blocked it out, much like I've blocked out most of Proteus. But I seem to have done a wonderfully thorough job of it in this particular instance, probably due to my horror at poor Alicia having been saddled with anything to do with that trainwreck of the SL, which I was sick of the day it started. (Unless you're referring to when Leo stole some papers that showed that David's father was in on Proteus, and got drunk at SOS, and Kendall called Bianca to come and help Leo--which I remember since it involved a brief little bit of sister bonding--but that was extremely tangential.)

I didn't actually think Kendall's involvement in Maiden on the Run was an instance of just jamming Kendall in there to make things more bearable, since Kendall and Aidan had been involved not long beforehand and a friendship remained. That said, you're right about Maria/Kendall being the only good part of the SL.

Hee! You guys are killing me with all of this showercam madness. I still have to wait until tomorrow for those scenes. Damn this ABC affiliate.

The New York Post has a new-ish article up featuring our beloved Lil Budig. The first half compares her to Kelly Ripa (ugh), and the second half is mostly Bob-related blather. Why, Rebecca, why?



She makes me sad sometimes.

On a brighter note, I'm totally looking forward to the Fusion Four appearance on The View this week. Don't disappoint me, Rebecca! Do you hear me? If you in any way piss on the Kenlee love parade by bringing up that greasy ass he-beast, I may have to disown you. Please, please don't make me do that!

Oh, forget it. The View wenches will shove the subject on her, Rebecca will gush, and I will still be overcome by the cute and forgive her anyway. Gah, I'm so whipped. At least I'll have the added fun of watching for Alicia reaction shots while she's gushing (and projecting a decidedly Kenlee spin on them, of course, as is my somewhat obsessive wont). Good times, good times.

[Semi OT]I'm seriously pathetic: I went to the (socially acceptable) opera this weekend and when a character threw a baby into a freezing river I thought "that's such an Erica move". I wouldn't put it past her with this storyline. There was some excellent performances and story in between. In my defense, it wasn't my first thought [/Semi OT] They don't call it soap opera for nothing. Bow to the masters.

[Serious OT] Catch this renditon of "Jenufa". It's really good, I braved Superbowl weekend in Houston in a parking garage for an hour. It's that good. [/Serious OT]

That's exactly why, mirashima.

Hee, boris. Yup, opera and soap opera have a great deal in common. And I'm sure we're in for something from Erica before she finally settles down enough to at least confine her overt distaste for the Kinks lovechild to referring to her as "That Kendall baby"...and then weaseling out of it when called on it by claiming that since Bianca named the baby after Kendall, that's the easiest way for Erica to differentiate between the two Kendalls in conversation.

(Yeah, I'm completely determined now that the baby should be named Kendall. In addition to the obvious Kinks benefits, it will make Erica's head explode.)

I don't think that was Kendall in that scene you mentioned. David's father being revealed to be in on Proteus happened before Kendall returned to the canvas.

The incident I was referring to was early Kenlee scenes, where they teamed up to follow Leo and Trey, saw Vanessa at that abandoned hotel the Feds had her stashed at, then went digging in the middle of the state park for the Proteus money.

I remember this scene because Kendall and Greenlee had a slapfight, bitched about the mosquitos, then went off to get repellant, were gone for like fifteen minutes, then returned without the repellant. I'm convinced they were having sex in the woods the whole time.

David didn't know about it, though, and actually Vanessa wasn't revealed to the audience nor known to the characters as Proteus until after Erica's trial, which is when Kendall arrived in town. Vanessa mentioned that fact in a statement she gave to the police, IIRC, and Leo stole it out of Jack's office so that David wouldn't find out. He got drunk at SOS and flushed (or tried to flush, I don't remember exactly) the papers down the toilet. Kendall was bartending there at the time, saw Leo's state and phoned Bianca to come down. Bianca and Leo talked and Bianca convinced Leo to sneak the file back into Jack's office or something. She called Jack to SOS with some phony excuse to lure him away from the office, but Jack said, like many have said since, that Bianca was a terrible liar and he ended up catching Leo at his office. Leo told David the truth about his father a couple of days later, causing David to hyperventilate like crazy in between sobs. The cute Kendall/Bianca moment was when Kendall phoned Bianca and said, "Hey sis" and Bianca told her not to push it. Then at SOS Bianca thanked Kendall for calling her about Leo. They were already living together at Myrtle's at this time, but still largely feeling their way, Bianca in particular not quite trusting Kendall yet.

And I definitely blocked out all that with Trey and digging up the money and such. I was just so completely pissed that just when it looked like Proteus was over, AMC went and started a whole new arc about everyone trying to find the money Vanessa'd hidden away, that I refused to watch a second of any of it.

(And no, my recall of 10-second Bianca/Kendall conversations from two years ago has nothing to do with Kinks SisYay. Shut up. It's true! I swear! Alicia and Eden are actually capable of playing scenes together without looking like they want to shag. So the fact they now play every scene that way clearly points to their doing it on purpose. Hee.)

Really, please not "aunt". That cannot go into Kinks. Please. I love the pervy train, but really. No. Help? Youth of America?

Okay, I remember it now. Leo flushing things definitely rings a bell.

But see what you missed out on by refusing to watch the ass-end of the Proteus saga? Kenlee shagging in the woods.

Wow, if ya'll hadn't told me that Alicia was on every day I would never had thought about it. Just goes to show how talented she is that I actually look forward to more scenes with her (sans Cameron).

Bwah! I think Kinks had Youth of America at "We're together, always" and YoA boarded the Pervy Train soon thereafter. So, will the level of perviness associated with the kinksified "aunt" change with its pronunciation (ant vs. aughnt)?

You know, it seems like a lot of characters who formerly hoped that Kendall would ‘get off’ a week or so ago have been wishing that she would ‘get…acquitted’ instead. Between that and the apparently very-open-to-pervy-interpretation vibe between the Sisters Kane, I'm beginning to wonder about TPTB's 'Net surfing practices. Either that or this thread has been imbued with the mystic powers of Lorelai and Sookie.

Please, please, please let this be the last day we see Erica’s Shiny Happy Purple outfit. AMC is working on one hell of a burn pile. Maybe it will be damaged during today's tussle with Aidan.. One can hope.

Hee. Well, Eden used "aughnt" in the dream episode when she told Kendall, "She's beautiful. Just like her aunt." Alicia used the "ant" pronunciation on Friday. I mostly choose to view that word as their cover story. After the baby is born, every time Lena or Naggie or Ryan wants to know why the hell Kendall's always sleeping over with Bianca--if indeed they aren't actually living together--Bianca can always be all, "Well, it's because the baby loves her aunt. Really. Pay no attention to the fact that we're sleeping in the same bed. *cough*"


I am not sure I could have put up with that for any couple other than Kinks. I nearly threw my TV across the room the very first second that mention was made of looking for Proteus's drug money. Words really can't express how annoyed I was about that, plus I didn't like anything else that was going on at the time either, so it was taking me about two minutes a day to watch AMC.


You mean the hideous thing with the pink bow? She was wearing that the previous AMC day. She's in some pink suit now, IIRC.

kariyaki, I looked up your old recap of the Kinks clinic scene last night and "skeevy" was indeed the word you used. Heh. For posterity kicks, here's the recap from that day...
And it's so tame in comparison to the glories we've gotten since. Heh.

Oh yeah, you're right. I've been slowly catching up with my tape backlog and I guess the combination of all that AMC featuring that outfit made me blank on the new ensemble. (shudder) Well, at least we’re safe from the Pleather Pants of Horror for a little while (because it's way too soon for the great Erica Kane to repeat). *knock wood*

Today's episode is the penultimate "shut up!" episode. I've been saying it to Mia and Erica all day.

Fucking Mia. Goes on a tear about her issues with Kendall in front of Fred and calls her every name in the book. Now he's going to switch sides. Shove her, Liza! Shove her hard. She survived that last time, three stories isn't high enough.

"She drugged me! She drugged me!" Therapy, Erica. Get it. Right now.

And now Ryan! What a man-whore. Uh, hello! You're engaged to Kendall.

I read the PBP and that alone had me practically screaming "Shut UP, Erica!" at my computer screen. I can't imagine how I'll react when I watch it tonight. The PBP skipped a lot of the Erica-accusing-Kendall stuff, which was doubtless good for my blood pressure. But what did get recapped that really pissed me off was when Bianca tells Erica not to trash Kendall to her ever again, and Erica replies that she needs to not hear Bianca defend Kendall ever again, and "Are you trying to hurt me?"

God! Find a fricking eighty-foot ladder and get over yourself! Shut up shut up shut up shut UP SHUT UP! Only in Erica land, where she's claiming that she's upset at Kendall for Bianca's sake, can she then whine that it hurts her when Bianca defends Kendall. Isn't it Bianca's business whether she wants a relationship with her sister or not? GAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Step off the Kinks, Erica. You know, we've done a lot of talking about how Bianca is an emotionally safer choice for Kendall, but Kendall's also an emotionally safer choice for Bianca. Know why? Because she puts Bianca ahead of herself. Shut the hell UP, Erica.

Ahem. I just had to vent.

Oh man, if that was your reaction from just reading the PBP, you're going to blow your top later when you watch it. And not just Erica. Ryan and Mia. Grrrrrrrrr. For me, it's mostly Mia. Erica and Ryan are acting the way they always act (and in the end, Ryan was trying to look out for Kendall) but Mia? She royally fucked up and now won't even own up to it because she's thinking with her lower region.

Dude, add Greenlee and I'm so there. Rebecca did her best today to sell the crap she was given, but I'm fast approaching not wanting to even see Greens on my screen for awhile. I can't miss you if you don't go away, Greens. Mia? Just needs to die. Painfully.

Wow, Erica and Binks almost had it out! I would have enjoyed that more if Bianca didn't look so damn hurt. (On a shallow note, Hurt!Bianca is tragically pretty and borderline swoon-worthy. She needs a Kendall cuddle stat!) Poor Binky, you can't be a good daughter and a good girlfr.....um, sister, since your mother is a nutjob and hates your sister. Uncle Jack continues to be completely worthless but wonderful, I love that man.

Could anyone discern anything from Binky's extended flashback? All I could tell was that TPTB were trying to cover the hand on the gun with the coat's oversized sleeve. From what you could see of the hand, the fingers looked small boned and feminine. I'm sure you mad freeze framers out there will be able to see it clearer.

Subtle Kinks observations: I laughed very inappropriately at Kendall's expression when Erica yelled at Kendall (Mikey) about raping Bianca and when Erica yelled at Bianca not to stand so close to Kendall. Even Erica knows Kinks are going at it like rabbits hopped up on Viagra. Hee!

Non-subtle Kinks observations: Awwwww, Binky! You defend your twu wuv! She was so cute putting her foot down that no one shall ever insult Kendall in her presence. To bad Kendall was outside freezing her ass off and didn't get to see how swell her SO was being. Sigh.......I think these two kids are gonna make it. (sniffle) I'm so proud.

Nah, it'll still be Erica doing most of the pissing-me-off. I plan to FF Ryan/Greens, and Mia's just a dumb bitch and troll. Not that I don't get mad at her for the trouble she's causing Kendall, but it's not a hot button issue for me and I know she'll get hers. OTOH, Erica's shitty mothering has always set me off, bigtime. Especially when she hauls out her guilt-trip tactic. Yes, how dare Bianca associate with her sister? She shouldn't because it hurts Erica. Even though Erica keeps claiming that she is upset with Kendall for Bianca's sake. God, my blood pressure is rising again just thinking about it. If someone on the show beat her over the head with a baseball bat a hundred times I'd cheer. It's not like she'd actually be hurt anyway, because her head is made out of titanium steel. Why Bianca (or Kendall) still cares about having a relationship with Erica is beyond me. Just have her committed to Oak Haven already!

(goes back to re-read Mystic0's Kinks observations to put myself in a better mood)

Today's episode sucked to high heaven. It sucketh so badly as to be criminal. Erica's...whatever the hell that was (Lucci has again proven herself incapable of rising to the level of the material, much less rise above it), Mia & Captain Crazypants, and Greenlee continuing to throw herself at Frankenbrow … Friday's gag-inducing crapfest of Greenlee actually THANKING Hornball McGrabbyhands for 'rescuing' her from JP would have made my blood boil if I cared. He didn't save you, dumbass. He shoved his flared nose and scary eyes where they didn't belong and lied to you so that you would 1) think JP didn’t care about you anymore, 2) give up on JP, and 3) turn to Ryan. And don’t think that Mr. Indiscrete won’t throw this latest failed seduction in your face. Have I told y’all lately how much I don't love Greenlee and how my hatred for what McHack’s done to her – just for the sake of fluffing Ryan -- knows no bounds? Grr.

There should be room on Judge Lambaste's docket to prosecute TPTB for irredeemably crappy episodes. I hope the parties responsible for this dreck cashed their January paycheck with a guilty conscience*.

Yes, I know these people are fictional. I do. Really.

ETA:


BWAH!! And, dayum, Black Knight. Maybe you should just delete the episode without watching. Mental health first, and all. ;)

* ETA2: Because blind rage doesn't excuse improper word usage.

Man, we all have our hot buttons. Mine is Mia. Never was there a more useless character stirring shit up. She's even making me start to lose my Aidan-love because I can't fathom what he sees in her at ALL. He's certainly not with her for intellectual stimulation and there's no way she can be that good in the sack, especially since he's had Kendall. Once you go Kane, you never go back (as Kinks has discovered, I'm sure).

You better start popping blood pressure meds before today's show. Erica was in fine form today. You'll really enjoy the part where, after she's through yelling at Binky, Bianca walks toward her mother and Erica spins on her heel and leaves, giving Binky the uber cold shoulder (she makes sure to hug David though, of course). Bitch.

I can really see why Bianca has decided to leave town. She totally and completely blames herself for Erica's lunacy. Thanks a bunch, Erica, for unfailingly making the people around you feel responsible for your shortcomings! (seethes) Here's hoping Kendall tracks Binky down tomorrow (since Kendall will be hurting about Ryan's latest "betrayal") and they can have comfort snuggles.......or whatever.



Hee! I totally thought of you, again, when Mia was bleating on about what is it about Kendall that makes every man her slave. You'd think someone would buy a clue already.

For once, I was with Reverend Nutjob. I'd hightail it out of there in lieu of listening to Mia's stupid ranting. First she thinks that Aiden's stashing Fred for a future wedding with Kendall then she's bitching about how Kendall has no redeeming qualities. I still crack up when Mia complains about Kendall's power over men. She really doesn't have a clue. Kendall covers all demographics.
