BC - Fri, 12/5/08

Why would they bring Annie into a room with Greenlee as part of deciding on her course of treatment? I mean, I can only imagine how Annie is going to be in therapy -- she's going to be like Goldie Hawn's character in the movie Death Becomes Her who, while in treatment, never shuts up about how her arch-nemesis ruined her life. None of the other patients can stand her because of it. They must have some inkling at this point that Greenlee is more than a little bit of a sore point for Annie. And if they need all the recent players in the latest fiascos in that meeting, why isn't Aidan there? How about Annie's father and an interpreter? Of course, after I write that Annie confuses one of the doctors with her father. Greenlee just sits there like a stump, so why IS she there?

David says he would never turn Little Adam into a Chandler clone the way Adam and JAR would. Then he daydreams about (a very BIG) Little Adam being accepted into Stanford and telling Babe's grave that he's going to be a cardiologist just like his grandfather. No, he's not going to turn him into a Chandler clone -- he's going to turn him into a Hayward clone.

David tells Amanda that she knows how important it is to have someone who will protect a child from a damaged parent -- isn't that what Trevor did for her? Uh, not really. He knew JaNut was damaged, but he married her, anyway, thus putting Amanda right back into JaNut's clutches. According to Amanda when she returned to the show as an adult (a VERY different person from the sweet little Amanda we all remembered and loved), she said her father was away a lot and ignored her, spending all his time placating and/or continuing his love affair with JaNut. It doesn't sound to me like Amanda was protected from JaNut's influence.

Why would rich people allow their tots to open mysterious packages that arrive at the house? Especially tots that have been kidnapped not once, not twice, not thrice, but at LEAST four times and the kid is only 3-4 years old? AND said tot is the child of a man who has also been kidnapped over and over and over again, literally since birth and right up until this last year! AND virtually EVERYONE in that man's family has been kidnapped at least once, but usually multiple times. AND there are the tunnels, which, despite having hidden kidnappers, murderers, rapists, thieves, lunatics, ex-wives, ex-husbands, jealous lovers, blackmailers and (worst of all, *ADAM*) over the years are still wide open for anyone and everyone to just waltz into (those tunnels are a terrorist's DREAM). Is JAR BRAIN-damaged? Actually, considering how many times he's gone off balconies and been punched, not to mention all the drugs and alcohol he's had (and let's not forget, unlike the show's writers, his lethal peanut allergy), that is a possibility.

Are those white sleeves on Amanda's top supposed to look Santa-like? I can't imagine that it's a new fashion (then again, I should never be surprised by what is considered fashionable). They look downright clownlike.

I still think the shrink (Dr. Richards?) bears a strong resemblance to Dave Foley. Compare these two videos. The first one is a short clip of the doctor from the 12/3/08 episode. The second one is a longer clip of Dave Foley on the Craig Ferguson show. Note his "commitment to women's issues" near the end of the segment, which is an example of why I keep expecting the doctor to say something similar about Annie

Okay, did anyone here NOT expect Krystal to end up in David's arms when she ran out of the house? Is that the sound of chirping crickets I hear?

Ryan laments that he didn't even get a tree for Emma. Uh, it's only December 5 -- I think he has a little time for that.

JAR insisted that he be the one to put the tinsel on the tree (racing Little Adam to it). So why wasn't there any tinsel on the tree when they were done?

Jack says he and Carmen "are doing fine". They ARE? Then why haven't we seen her? The last time we saw her, I could have sworn that she broke up with Jack because he clearly still wanted Erica.

Robin "is that the same Christmas Angel that gave Natalie her sight back?" Coutellier
