Well its sunday...Random Thoughts day....and I'm putting off actually work (bad Minkie, bad). So anyway....thoughts on the show. I have to say that Zendall has fizzled out remarkably quickly. I know they will always have their die-hard fans (AKA crazy whackjobs, LOL) but even Zendall fans themselves admit their couple is now rather boring. This lovey dovey stuff does not work for them at all. If their only spark is in the "chase" so to speak, this couple will never go anywhere. You need to be able to sustain the couple itself as well, not just the courtship. That and Kendall is acting (and dressing) like a submissive grandmother and Zach is....smirking. Again. Wow, what a couple. Yawn. Any particular reason why they feel they need to rush down the aisle against just weeks after their divorce? Ever heard of being a COUPLE first? I seem to recall when the idea of marriage was a little more sacred. Thanks to Zach/Kendall, Ryan/Greenlee, JR/Babe...I may never feel that way again!!!!! The stabbing was also pretty lame. come on, Zach barely flinched (come on thorsten, I hope you can do better....) and the knife didn't even have blood on it. What, Erica is soooo good with a knife she doesn't leave a mark? I have comments on Jonathan but I won't post them here since this is a pro-Jonathan bored and to be honest, he's bugging the hell out of me. Jeff Branson deserves better than this. Can anyone explain to me why Jamie, who is apparently a millionaire now, is dressing like a homeless person? Seriously, has he even spent a dime of that money? Because I think he looks like he walked out of a shelter somewhere. This Jr/Babe/Josh crap is getting on my nerves. The jabe relationship feels so incredibly one-sided, it is long past the time Babe should have stepped up and done something here. I'm starting to think it shouldn't happen anymore, I don't think either actors are really behind it anyway (Alexa surely isn't). The idea of her and Josh amuses me since Josh is, IMO, ten times worse than JR yet somehow Babe trusts him and thinks JR is the devil. I wonder if she'll just say "Oh its okay, you did it out of love" when she finds out what Josh has been up to. ;D Oh yeah, someone on SOC said that about Zach. So now, Zach = Babe. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAA! Anyway my solution is this...I think JR and Babe need to finally be parted, permanently. Storyline and everything. BUT, the only way to do that is if Little Adam is gone. Sad, I know, and maybe mean, but...I think they should write him out. A terrible disease or something, not anyone's fault. Otherwise this is the future of AMC: JR and Babe, constantly at battle over him. After the babyswitch and everything that followed, AMC has done this story to death and its beyond boring. And it will end Babe acting like she's the world's greatest gift to parenthood. (at this point I remind our audience at home: she left the kid in a BATHTUB). Absolutely loved Janet calling Jamie "Lamie." That was BRILLIANT. Jamie deserves what's coming, since he's playing Amanda so badly. I don't care if he's doing it to "protect" everyone, the fact is he's no hero. I think what he's doing is very mean given how much Amanda needed one person in her corner...and he's fake. Get him Janet! I still think Di is rather pathetic. Tad is not that special girl, get yourself a life and stuff kissing his ass. Her pleading to be able to help Ryan and Tad was embarassing to watch. I hope Dixie kicks her butt too. Very excited for Dixie's return, they better not screw this up. Very happy Michael made an appearance, although how he ended up looking older than his older brother is beyond me. LOL. Seriously, the guy looked...odd. K I'll leave it there....not a lot of funny stuff this week, but hey, SOC is providing enough amusement. Zach = Babe.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have to agree about Di right now Minkie. But my reasoning is that both actors are excellent and if they wanted to make this couple work, the writers have some gold here. But no one can really get behind a couple where one feels that the other should be kissing his ass for forgiveness day and night.
I have (alomst) always been a Tad fan, so admitting this is very hard. But while Di and Tad have mega potential for entertainment, they have not heated up this girl's screen.

Thanks guys.
A fair warning, I might not do another one of these for a while...my interest in AMC is definitly wanning. I may not watch the upcoming week or so. I can't stand to see Babe get all self-righteous again and the Zendall crap really isn't interesting to me.

Truthfully, I haven't watched in days. I just get an update from here. I'll probably watch the stabbing episode though just because of Michael... and to see Zack's "performance."

Sick of smirky Zach or scheming Babe-blah....

Okay bear with me, I did promise a new Random Thoughts but I've only seen at best two full episodes in two weeks (and half of Wednesday's eppie). So it won't cover everything, there will be holes (much like McT's writing in general, ;D ) First off, I'm going to have to rant about the emmys. Its bad enough so many brilliant performers were snubbed (and not just AMC) but to give a nod to THORSTEN is just beyond the pale. The guy does nothing but SMIRK. I mean really, what emmy tape is he going to submit? Smirk A or Smirk B?!? Don't tell me "Oh his performance is all in his eyes." Bullshit. If that was true Cameron would have won every single year. ;D Case in point: the reveal. Zach did nothing but stand there while Kendall ranted. And even she seemed very subdued, I'm not sure if AM is just off a bit or she was responding to his lack of emotions. God compare this to the Thanksgiving stuff and this was TERRIBLE. Zach honestly looked like he was observing the weather or something, not losing his "great love." Where did Babe's prenup actually come from? I mean seriously, was it shoved down her dress this entire time? Not to mention why she even thought to have it made beforehand, when she and Jr were supposedly over...(though given Jr's tendancy to change his mind every five minutes...that might have actually be a smart thing for Babe there...) I am beyond ECSTATIC that this tug of war between JR and Babe over the kid might finally be over. Please god let it be over. Joint custody regardless of what happens with these two. Great. PERFECT. I think we should throw a party in name of the END OF THE BABYSWITCH. it has finally come. I honestly and sincerely hope JR signs it. Now if monkey would come back and gas someone and if JR could hit Jamie with a pipe again, my AMC goals will be complete. I am also very much looking foward to the Di/Dixie confrontation coming up. That should be awesome to watch. Can't wait to hear Di's lame excuses. I wonder if it will rank up there with her excuse for staying away (while pretending to be Dixie): "Oh I just didn't feel like coming home." Kick her ass Dixie. Where the hell is this ball being held? I'm curious because there are all these random rooms everywhere...but its not a hotel since there are no beds. Just random waiting rooms. How convenient, I mean you need to break some important news and...there's all these rooms available. The "walking fetus" room, the "killing embryos" room, the Janet is going crazy room..... ;D Why is Kendall not ranting at Zach more? (yes I'm back to that...) Its disturbing that Kendall can be so short-sighted that she's more mad at Ryan ruining her "happiness" than learning what a schmuck Zach is. Not to mention how this effected her BFF Greenlee. Kendall, love you but the world isn't all about you. Try to see the bigger picture here. (the bigger picture being Josh, LOL, who is the opposite of this storyline....way to play both sides AMC) Josh's ranting at Greg reminds me of my little cousin who would throw a tantrum if his parents didn't give him what he wanted. I think they have the same maturity level. I feel bad for Erica. LOL. Man first she has Bianca, and now this. Oy. And Kendall wasn't always daughter of the year either. Then again, I think Brooke is worse off...she has Laura and Lamie. ;D The grass is always greener..... My final point is Jonathan...where are they going with this character exactly? Because I'm sad to say...the only place seems down. Who exactly can be paired with Jonathan after Lily? Think about it...that girl will be taking the leftovers of a 17-year old autistic girl. This Jonathan/Lily pairing is, IMO, taking Jonathan to a place he can't come back from. He can't go back to old Jonathan after this, and that's a shame. Jeff deserves much better than this. I'm ending it there. Cheers!

I just now got around to watching the big "reveal" of the blackout. And you guys are TOTALLY right about TK. All he did was STAND there, emotionless. What a freaking let down. That was hands down, some of the worst acting i've ever seen (and i've sat through LOTS of jamie...). horrible, just absoutely HORRIBLE. that should have been some explosive stuff... instead what KILLS me about josh is his overall pissiness (if that's not word, sorry, but i use it all the time) at being loved too much. I think that is so stupid. I can think of a lot worse things than being smothered with love. And to me, it doesn't really sound like Josh was...it just sounds like his parents desperately wanted a child...smothered by love is Amanda, but i digress. I find that as horrible motivation for a character...especially a character as malvolent as Josh.
