Ryan insists to Jesse that Emma is SAFE WITH HIM. Well, she isn't WITH him, is she? She's with the babysitter/nanny at the movies.
Why would there be a tornado at the beach? I've heard of waterspouts, but I was under the impression that a BIG tornado needs a LOT of flat ground to form. PV has an ocean and mountains (the mountains or very large hills part is usually what defines a "valley").
It sounds like Greenlee is coming down with whatever Kendall had that made her voice hoarse. The upcoming screaming and all the crying she has to do probably isn't going to help.
Did you see that look on Jesse's face when Angie came into the main room of The Comeback where he was talking with Natalia? PRICELESS! It was a "who me", "why look, it's my lovely wife", "what woman, I don't see any other woman here", "nobody here but us chickens" kind of look.
Technically, other than a basement, the tunnels are probably the safest place on the Chandler estate (well, the panic room might be a tad safer). That doesn't mean they'll be safe in PV, of course. Too bad no one is hanging out at Wildwind, because the mausoleum (calling FAC Crypt!) would probably make a good shelter. That's one heavy-duty little structure.
Where ARE Kendall and Zach? Are they at a cottage on the Pine Valley Ocean or somewhere on the New Jersey coast near Sea City? If they can hear the sirens so loudly, they must not be very far away from town at ALL.
Why isn't there anyone on the staff working in the lobby at the movie theater? There are only the sitter (is it Corrina or Rachel -- they're kind of interchangeable) and Annie screaming for Emma and running around in circles.

Why has Greenlee been so, sooo, sooooo ... blah? She never gets excited about ANYTHING any more. Even when Aidan hands a gun over to Ryan and tells him to shoot him, she just stares at him. The FDA trashes the Fusion offices and she just looks sad. In fact, that's about ALL she does these days is look sad, yet serene. Or just serene. Where is the woman who took a hatchet to Ryan's apt? Where's her spark? Is she taking Quaaludes?
Why are Corrina and Emma in the park AFTER DARK? What possible reason could they have for being there? For that matter, why is Annie in the boathouse when she is being stalked? I mean, I thought it was stupid of her to hang out on the Chandler patio, but in a deserted boathouse in the middle of a park at night? She really IS certifiable. They never DID explain why she was there. Then she got spooked and ran to Cortlandt manor. Was she planning to sleep in the boathouse? Ick? Considering how much action that place sees, no matter what time of year it is or hour of the day or night, that place must have to be disinfected on a daily basis. I can only imagine how many condoms must be strewn about on the planks and floating in the water.
Why are people on TV and in movies always having sex on the floor? The floor is HARD and it really has no give to it. You'd think someone as thin and bony as Kendall would INSIST on moving the sex to the bedroom.

Why does Colby often wear such dowdy clothes? That plaid outfit makes me think of Janet on Swingtown.
If they aren't showing Erica popping out of the bodice of every dress or blouse she wears lately, then she is carefully showing us her profile so that we can't fail to miss her newly jutting mammaries. OMG, I paused to type this and realized that Adam's hand is PERFECTLY positioned to make it look like he's about to cop a feel! In fact, he looks like he's about to honk it -- ROTFLMAO!
And as long as I was in a vidcap frame of mind, here is a shot of Erica with her 1980s redux outfit from Friday's show:
The new baby Ian is quite the little scene stealer :-)

Okay, having the boobs of a 20-yr-old is one thing, but Erica has GOT to stay out of that 20-yr-old's WARDROBE CLOSET! That outfit looks RIDICULOUS on her! What did she do, raid Cyndi Lauper's 1980s costume warehouse?

I just found out that Eileen Herlie (Myrtle Fargate) died on 10/8 at the age of 90. She was a great actress and will be sorely missed. I, too, have fond memories of her interactions with Langley, among others, and I'll NEVER forget her telling Rae about the tryst at the top of a ferris wheel :-) Myrtle was always so very colorful! They had BETTER give her a good send-off! I suspect Myrtle will be counted as one of the victims in the coming catastrophe. There were rumors that it might be the case, ANYWAY (maybe they knew this was imminent), and the scenes are probably already shot, but even if it was not the case before, I would not be at all surprised to hear they add that into the storyline after the fact. RIP, Ms. Herlie.
Wednesday was too boring to Boogie.
Why do Babe and JAR have to leave THE VERY DAY that they make a decision? How about, at minimum, finding a house first? I guess their just going to drag Little Adam off to a hotel until they figure that out. She gives no thought at all to whether or not Fusion might need her in this crisis for which she was partially responsible. They aren't sorry to see the doorknob hit her in the but, but still ...
There's a custody hearing in an HOUR? Why doesn't Annie have a lawyer for something so important?
Why do ANY of the Chandlers find it so incredulous that someone might be setting Annie up to look crazy and lose custody of her daughter? The Chandlers are MASTERS at EXACTLY that sort of thing.
Will there be ANY warning when the "bad thing comin'" descends upon the town? I want to hear Amanda on the phone telling someone: "I've gotta go, we've got COWS!"
I can see where the FDA might shut down the production aspect of Fusion, but how can they shut down the entire business and just have everyone go home? TOTALLY bogus! It's not like the IRS or some judge padlocked the business, after all (although that might be NEXT).

TAN: Some of you may recall that my car was stolen and then recovered a couple of weeks later. The insurance company DID total my car just for the missing seats (front and back)! I got the car (towed) back to my place today, and a settlement will be along soon. There were some other things missing, too, and the thief/thieves TRIED to steal the starter, but they had the wrong wrench size and couldn't get one of the bolts off. That resulted in a good hour or more with a neighbor trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start (along with needing to add gas (yes, the gas WAS syphoned). They had pulled all the cables off the distributor and put the other ends back in the wrong cylinders and it's apparently kind of tricky to put everything back in the correct order. The cylinder order was easy, but the "firing order" of how they plug back into the distributor cap was NOT. Now I can concentrate on trying to get everything replaced and all the annoying paperwork (along with getting replacement seats, the car has to be re-registered as "salvaged", probably re-smogged, and checked out by a mechanic).
Why are Ryan and Greenlee referring to the moon "last night"? Are they still IN "last night"?
Greenlee can't call Jack because he's out of town. Where is he, the Amazon jungle or some such place where they don't have cellphone towers?
Ryan tells Zach that al he has to do is make a list of all the things Annie has done and he's sure the judge will hand Emma RIGHT OVER to him. What kind of dream world is HE living in (the PV one, I suppose)? Courts give custody to parents who are drug addicts and even to abusive parents if they get a little counseling. Other than leaving a gun where her child could find it (and even THAT can't be proven as far as who put it there), she hasn't overtly endangered or neglected her child. Emma is obviously well taken care of, too. The most Ryan can hope for is JOINT custody. If anything, driving his bike off a cliff and pretending to be dead, not to mention the fight-club stuff and the video of him almost socking a fist into a pregnant Greenlee's face are all slams AGAINST him getting custody. Which is worse, Annie taking a blunt object to her car and pretending to have been in an accident or Ryan pretending to be dead? Hmmmm ...

I'm with Petey on the Bella ad -- it's, uh ... the moon. It looks distant and barren. Eh.
If Annie is the target of someone stalking her, why does she keep putting herself in such vulnerable positions? Tonight she is hanging around on the patio. What next? Strolling around the corner of Front and Locust Streets to get some fresh air? Idiot!
I see (how could anyone MISS it?) that Erica is once again wearing a dress that barely contains here newly purchased boobs -- and the dress isn't even that low-cut. I should probably start to cut her some slack, though -- if I looked like her and had breasts that looked like that, I'd probably be flaunting them, too. Still, they are excellent fodder for us for the time being, so that's the only slack she's going to get for a while -- after all, SHE's certainly tightened up on any hint of slack ;-)
If fever is one of the symptoms of Blast, is Emma having an allergic reaction to the perfume? It would make sense that there would be some at Kendall's house, even though Kendall belittles it at every turn.
Was anyone else creeped out by the really dark, really fast clouds that kept traveling across the view of the moon? It made me think of the movie The Ten Commandments and the curse that killed all the firstborn in the land. Ick!

Why is it that Greenlee had such a strong reaction to the perfume in her trunk, but Aidan didn't react at all? I guess it has to actually touch your skin to work. God knows that if the perfume bottle broke, the entire room would have been REEKING from it to the point of needing a hazmat team.
Ah, NOW we have an explanation for the name "Brot"; Taylor's fiance's name was Broughton Monroe (spelling courtesy of close-captioning). That's STILL a soapy name, but at least a little less cavemanish than simply "Brot".
And now we have another tidbit to add to our bucket of tidbits: Opal has a cat named Napoleon.
LOD #1
Krystal to Opal: "I am really sorry to barge in, Opal, but I could NOT get your words out of my head!" Erica (doing her patented simper/dip: "Oh, those POOR words." BWAHAHAHAAA!!
LOD #2
Krystal to Erica: "Adam and I are HISTORY, all right, but DOOM and Adam are celebrating their Golden Anniversary, still goin' STRONG!"
Annie was just attacked -- so why are she and Babe sitting out on the patio IN THE DARK?
I think it's HILARIOUS that, when Ryan expressed astonishment that Annie was just attacked, Adam dismissed it by saying: "Yeah, my men are on top of that." EXCUSE ME? ***RYAN*** just sneaked onto your property and got pretty damn close before the guards caught him.
I am really enjoying how they keep injecting little tiny bits of history and, dare I say it, ever-so-brief bits of REALISM into the show lately. For instance, Erica actually SAID something to Annie about the way she talks to Adam, considering that she's a guest in ADAM'S house. Then Opal said one of her visions was wrong once because she thought Jesse's spirit was talking to her, and obviously he was on THIS side, not the OTHER side, which was a nice little nod to the fans who remember his "spirit" showing up.
Why are the adults arguing about and discussing the intruder and the crazy lady with Little Adam in the room? Way to make the little guy feel safe and secure!
Is it just me, or does the woman hanging around outside the Hubbard apartment look a little like Yvonne Caldwell (as played by Vanessa Bell (Calloway))?
Why doesn't Annie just go to a fucking hotel?
I liked Adam referring to Erica's BOOBY traps. Did I detect just a hint of an in-joke, considering her recently enhanced body parts?
Well, obviously Babe and JAR have failed MISERABLY in warning Little Adam about Stranger Danger. He just sat there looking up at the the stranger, instead of screaming/yelling out that there was a strange man in the room with him.
The new Little Adam is adorable, but his demeanor seems quite a bit younger than the previous actor(s), who was well into age 3. This one is acting a little like he's a really big 2-yr-old. It's hard to compare, though, because the previous one was so deadly dull.
That's IT? THAT is the Friday cliffhanger?

Why is Kendall asking Randi to go down and break her nails helping Mannie on the loading dock? Geez, hire some temps!
As usual, at Fusion it's either feast or famine when it comes to actually working (and the feast is really more like a quick binge followed by an even quicker purge). Usually it's deader than a doornail there and the phones NEVER ring, but whenever they want to convey that they are busy with something new, the phones never STOP ringing. It's like a PBS stage during a pledge drive right now, but most of the time there are practically tumbleweeds blowing across the office. Of course one big difference between Fusion and a PBS station during pledge drive is that the people at PBS actually ANSWER their phones.
OMG, did you see that God-awful tie Petey is wearing? I think he stole it from the love child of the Great Pumpkin and The Cat In The Hat!

First the good news -- My son is home from Japan for a couple of months AND he got married. His wife was unable to accompany him back just yet (his military mission is done, so he HAD to come back), but she will be here next month and they will have a "real" ceremony. OMG -- I'M A MOTHER-IN-LAW!
And ... MY STOLEN CAR HAS BEEN FOUND!!! It's missing the front and back (leather) seats, the hatch cover, and the stereo, but otherwise it seems relatively intact (pending further investigation), and just about everything that I had IN the car was still there! Some (okay a LOT) of it was junk, but some of it was VERY important to me). The car's not totally torn into a thousand pieces, though, and it hadn't crashed into anything, so once I get the seats replaced it should be good to go again. Even the ignition is intact (they probably used something called a "shaved key" to break in and start it). This has been a real wake-up call to me about the importance of protecting my car and it has hammered home just HOW important that PARTICULAR car is to me. I don't want another one -- I want THAT one!
Hmmm, I guess I didn't really have anything to say about Tuesday's show; i..e, it was pretty boring, just like Friday's show, but my own news is pretty cool (to ME, anyway)!
