Also, it seems that we're not so hell-bent on taking pictures with actors precariously positioned on our laps and calling them "my baby." And now I'll stop.

I'll get your e-mail from my group and forward one of the nasty Marge messages.

ETA: message sent. I hope Maggie will be on today: that always makes recapping AMC a whole lot more fun.

I think today we get:

Kendall/ Uncle Jack and maybe some Bianca thrown in there. Bianca/Erica, and I really don't know/care who else.

I always just thought Marge was delusional. She's a pyschopath.

I wanted to bitchslap Krystal when she brought up Dixie. Well, I want to bitchslap Krystal all the time, so I guess that isn't saying much.

Love that dumbass doctor. "It seems I was a little bit off about the time of conception -- by about FOUR WEEKS!" Guess Krystal gave him a BJ for nothing. Heh.

Okay, my "WTF" moment of yesterday: Why the hell was Myrtle at Wildwind??? I don't ever recall Maria and Myrtle being especially close, and have they had any scenes at all since Maria's return??? I wanted Maria to yell "Myrtle why the hell are you here???"...since she's been blasting everyone else the last few days!

Also...wanted some TWoP'ers opinion on something, kinda tacky...Do we think Eva LaRue's rack is, um, "natural"??? The boyfriend and I decided they ARE real, because, I dunno, Eva seems like the type, if she DID get implants, she wouldn't go THAT huge!!! I mean, we're a couple of gay dudes, and WE can't concentrate on the dialogue when Maria's got those puppies on tight-sweater display like yesterday! I can just imagine the effect they have on the lesbians and straight guys watching....

They are almost as amazing as Aidan's getting-out-of-bed-in-tight-boxers scene a few months ago.....<g>

You people are sick. After all the SisYay and the BroYay you keep talking about, today I saw MoYay, and I blame you all.

Satan adds another person to his roll call. Heh. The Erica/Bianca spoiler for today definitely put MoYay thoughts in my mind--"lovingly reconnect"--blech! Kinks is one thing, but I need mental bleach for MoYay.

Do we think Eva LaRue's rack is, um, "natural"???

I'd say definitely not. I do FF through all Maria bedroom scenes, so I don't remember what happens when she lays down, but anyway, if you and your boyfriend care, that's the way to tell. Real boobs flatten out when lying down, implants don't.

While it's kinda sad seeing her mixing it up with Maggie of all people (not really the most formidable of all opponents), it's a start.

I can definitely see how it's kinda sad, but I try my best to look at it from the other POV instead, that of it being amusing watching Lena shoot ducks in a barrel. Maggie's just so out of her depth.

[quote]What Maggie feels isn't too deep? What the hell does that mean? Does she figure if she's not too lovestruck to function, it's all good? "Hmm, I just feel 30% in love with Bianca today. I think I'll do laundry!" [/quote]

Damn, there goes my keyboard, Mystic0. (dies laughing) Too. Priceless. On a more serious note, I'm going to guess that the spoiler is just poorly worded--i.e. Maggie decides her feelings are controllable and so she shouldn't bug Bianca about it when Bianca's got the pregnancy and the trial and Mikey's murder to deal with, plus a pending reunion with another woman. I mean, what with everything on Binky's plate, plus the fact she went through a go-round of Maggie's confusion last year, she's hardly going to be thrilled to hear that best friend/roomie Maggie has feelings for her. More like, "Oh great, what else can go wrong?" She even told Maggie a few months ago that it was a really good thing that they'd never hooked up because it would've wrecked their friendship.

Do I understand that Babe's conception date is now right around the time she came into town in mid-October? I don't watch those scenes, but I think that's what I understand from the play by play.

If so, throw any baby switch out the window, at least for Babe and Bianca. Babe would be due three months after Binks. No way that would work. When did Kendall have the rooftop quicksex with Ryan?

Dirksun. Sorry to burst your bubble. They're fake. Eden gets the mad love and breast oinks because hers are real. You and your BF are SO gay. Ha!

Mysticks Muse, Frons said that Boobe and Bianca are due at about the same time. Granted he said "two women" and didn't specify Boobe and Bianca by name, but I doubt there's a third woman who's in her third trimester that we don't know about. McTrash has already stated that Kendall is not pregnant. Then again, Frons could just be an idiot. (could?)

Late-February births for Bianca and Boobe would explain one baby not making it (plus make it much more likely that Bianca's baby would survive and not Boobe's). It completely stretches disbelief, but maybe they get in a car accident together or something.

ETA: BWAH, SkiffyPup. You said what I didn't dare to. Heh.

Jan 14, 2004 @ 12:17 pm

Yeah, but if Babe gave birth in February, if she became pregnant in October, then she would only be about 18-20 weeks in late February. No way her baby survives. No way even the idiots of Pine Valley could believe her baby survives. I just don't think there's going to be a baby switch.

Maybe she steals Binks baby to cover up the fact that her baby passed on? Maybe Binks will think the stillborn Babe Baby is hers?

Well, Boobe could keep Bianca's baby in hiding for a couple of months until her own supposed due date arrives.

I'm just going by what Frons said here. He said they're due at the same time and that there'll be a Huge! Twist!, so maybe the idiot doctor screwed up Boobe's conception date? There are spoilers that Boobe's concerned about Paul Cramer laying claim to the baby, when her current conception date would completely preclude any chance of Paul being the father, so who knows. Granted, as Boobe's legal husband, Paul will be the legal father, but that's too sophisticated of a point for Boobe to be worrying about.

And now you understand why Dr.David was made to say that Bianca is due in late March/early April. Boobe's baby will be fetuSORAS! BWAH!

Actually, now that I think about it, and no, I do not think about it all the time (come on, I have to do something while watching this show…I’m bored to tears!) Eva does seem to be the only one with implants. Bobbie E’s are nice, but they’ve got that push-up bra enhanced thing going on. Hm…I think Eden has the honor of having the largest and most natural breasts on AMC. I’m sure she’d just be so proud to hear that. Hee

Hee indeed. Her blessed luck certainly is not a mystery to her, given what she tends to wear IRL. Not that I've given this thought or anything (I type, as the entire board laughs hysterically), but it's not so much the size of Eden's breasts per se as it is that they're just right. I don't actually know if she has the largest natural breasts on the show, but the proportion's perfect, they hang well, and so on. Larger isn't always better, whether real or fake. Anyway, Eden certainly won AMC's "Who has the best rack?" contest--er, heat wave--last summer when every woman onscreen except Julia Barr was wearing sleeveless tanks and such.[/shallow]

Perhaps we should get back to talking about storylines, or Kinks, or something? Hee.

Oh, the debate is over? Because I'd found an old screencap of Chesty in which she's obviously smaller. But come to think of it, you all probably don't want to see it. Edmund is shirtless in it. Makes one think of mohair pajamas.

Feel free to mock me for attempting to make sense of the Bianca's baby SL, but now she has decided to stay in town? And tell the truth? That's big and bold and all, but doesn't that put Kendall's delicate little neck beneath the guillotine? And if she's not going to tell the truth, is she planning on handing the baby over to Kendall so now Kendall won't 'lose' her baby?

I still think Kaidan had more chemistry on Aidan's way out the door than Kryan do nekkid.

Wow, there's something deeply wrong with seeing two Kane women practice carpentry. Though it was fun seeing that Bianca's inner straight girl is alot bigger than her inner butch. Hee! That rocking chair is messed up. Dude, Bianca loaded up on her adorable pills today. She almost cuted her mother too death. Awww... I really liked Helen. She was really sweet and cool.

I liked the court stuff today. Of course, a complete ignorance of the law probably helped. Livia rocks like a mad woman. Loving her. She blew Derek's ass off and kicked Forehead's ass period. Man, she totally is the perfect lawyer for Kendall. Black Knight, I totally understand your Judge Lambert (?) love, she is a slice of bitchy fabulousness. When Forehead wanted her to recuse herself, she looked like she could barely keep from laughing in his face, before smacking him down. Rock on, snarky judge!

I ignored the Boobe Saga, but JR totally looked like he was hitting on David in that first scene. Wish David would have beat his ass down. Alas, no. Kendall tormenting Mia was fun. Meow! Kendall's mugging for the camera was cute! I guess Jack forgot to use tact and just decided to blitz attack Binks. When did he get all forceful like? And on a side note, why is AMC plugging XM radio? I thought they were hooked up with Sirius?

All the big stuff has been hit upon (including Eden's rack). I'll point out the little thing I noticed. When Erica was hugging Bianca goodbye, Binks had her arms all protectively in front of her torso so her mother wouldn't brush up against the Assfetus. I like nice touches like that.

Black Knight

Jan 14, 2004 @ 3:17 pm

On this board, boris? Snerk.

That's big and bold and all, but doesn't that put Kendall's delicate little neck beneath the guillotine?

Not really, no, because there's no reason that two sisters can't be pregnant at the same time by the same man, unless they were both claiming the same date and time of conception (and with Kinks, it wouldn't necessarily be a problem even then, hee). The only risk is that it becomes a little clearer how Kendall can fake a pregnancy by Michael, but the DA is already convinced that she's faking either her pregnancy or the baby's paternity anyway.

Did the PBP just completely butcher Helen's medical explanation, or did AMC make some medical junk up, or was Helen totally shitting the judge, or what? I completely fail to see how paternity of a child can be determined from a sample of the mother's blood, but new things do happen every day.

Helen said their was a new test that could recognize fetal cells in the mother's blood and through that, they could establish paternity. I have no idea if that's bullshit or not.

Mystic0, the PBP omitted the part about fetal cells. Thanks for filling me in. Guess what? I Googled "fetal cells paternity test" and it's completely legit. Paternity Test There are several companies selling these tests.

Wow, look at you! You go, Research Girl. Amazing, AMC fact checked something. We have entered Bizarro World. There were a few possible anvils dropped today that might support the Bianca did it spec. Vague talk about Bianca being two people and all. Plus, she seems to be asking people if they think she's crazy a lot lately. Ok, it's a stretch, I know. [/paranoid]

Or he could be like Boobe'n Krystal and hear it on the TV like all good illiterate Southerners. (I write this as an illiterate Southerner. Their damn stereotype is pissing me off.)

I think today's episode was shockingly woman-tastic, from Helen to Livia to Judge Lampert. If they could just have Judge Lampert verbally shut Ryan up, my day would be complete. Yeah, I know he wasn't in the courtroom, but you know it'll happen. And I love Livia as Kendall's attorney, because she suffers none of Kendall's usual histronics. Yo go, girl.

Black Knight

Jan 14, 2004 @ 4:40 pm

It's voir dire, kariyaki. Judge Lampert rocks.

Hee, since Kendall and JR are friends, I just realized that she can tell him about the fetal cells paternity test, and send Boobe up the creek without a paddle. Fun times. Whatever will soaps do now the dangers of an amnio is no longer an excuse to delay paternity tests until after the baby's birth?

Mystic0, Binks so totally did it. I was kind of WTF at her whole contention that Kendall wouldn't have killed Michael, by the way. Granted she doesn't know about the multiple murder attempts, but still. I would love for her to hear about Kendall Gets a Snake and Kendall Makes a Batch of Poison Brew. Fun times. Hee. (It's not like Bianca would be upset by it, after all. Just touched. "Awwwww, you tried to bump my rapist off! Come here and let's brainstorm!")

I was going through tapes over the weekend and happened to come across the Bianca/Kendall conversation when Lena was in the hospital, so I watched it. It was Kendall lying, lying, lying her ass off to Bianca about marrying Michael in Vegas. In hindsight, she had a neon sign flashing over her head: "You couldn't have killed Michael because I married him in Vegas that night! He was alive! ALIVE! Got that?!" She was absolutely desperate for Bianca to believe her.

Huh, I'd forgotten all about that. Have Kinks discussed Kendall's marriage to Mikey since then? I know Bianca obviously knows Kendall isn't pregnant (duh) but does she still believe that Kendall married Michael? Damn, where did all these holes in my memory come from?

Binks honey, your taste in art is so bad. You are on a roll.

Hey, I blame this newest piece of 'art' on Maggie. Yep. I want to know what happened to Portia. There had to be some meaning to that damn thing. Hmph.

Black Knight

Jan 14, 2004 @ 4:54 pm

I choose to blame Maggie for the new art. Portia, while definitely not to everyone's taste, was at least valid as an artpiece. Strong Picasso influence, and I thought it said something interesting about Bianca's psyche, too. (I read somewhere that Eden said AMC actually commissioned an artist to do Portia.) I wonder what happened to Portia after such a big deal was made about her surviving the gas leak explosion. It's not like AMC didn't know it'd be an unpopular piece of artwork, since from day one all the other characters were hating on it. I actually wonder if Portia could be the object Binks is looking for after she wakes up from her nightmare. I mean, something's up with that. Soaps almost never call attention to inanimate objects if they're not important to the plot.

Add me to the You Go,Girl! Livia love train. Does the actress playing the judge look familiar to anyone else? Like she may have already been fitted for a robe on one of the Law & Orders? Anyway, I think I just might be able to bear watching this trial -- if McHack puts a lid on the usual soaptacular courtroom histrionics and inserts a smidgeon of actual, you know, legitimate legal arguments into the proceedings so that your typical L&O-watching gal's eyeballs don't itch -- because the major players (Judge Lambaste, Acting DA Forehead, and “I calls her O-Liva” Frye) are portrayed by capable actors. Just keep ADA Tarzan as silent as possible. Mute bench warming in the distant, unfocused background is good. Hopefully, we won’t have to endure more Kane Women or BeadyEyes McGrabbyHands' inappropriate and justifiably punishable courtroom antics. Isn’t that cute? Look at me being all naïvely optimistic.

I thought she put her arms up so that god awful thing she was wearing wouldn't infect Erica.

What was that thing anyway? An enraged scarf?

BWAH!, DrCher and Mystic0, respectively. :)

MamaBoobe’s full-body massage…er..“comforting” Boobe? That shit ain’t right. And I blame you people and your Yays -– Mo, Sis, Bro, and Necro -- for warping my typically passive AMC-watching goggles.

Yes, that shirtscarfthing was hideous, and Eden seemed to know it. But, in my humble opinion, nothing, and I mean nothing, not even that NYE monstrosity, will ever be matched in WTFness or hilarity as those black, crotch-cutting Daisy Dukes they had Bianca in for that "family picnic" scene just after Voldemort (and that hideous Sid Vicious tank top). I was watching the tape last night, laughing my ass off. Poor Eden was pulling at those things every five seconds for, like, three eppys.

Still not convinced that Bianca did it, but it's looking likely. I think at least everyone else thinks Binks did it.

I hadn't thought of her looking for Portia.

Another interesting spoiler from the chat:

Maggie gets some action soon.
