Today's As the World Turns

Personal highlights.

Bob to Luke: "I want you to babysit Dr. Oliver" - I LOL'd so hard

Reid going in full doctor mood and forgetting all hostility towards Chris

Chris pointing out to Reid that he's a neurologist not a cardiologist, and then telling Katie that he needed Reid to consult with him on a case in cardiology and expecting her to believe that crap (and thanks to bad writing she does)
And I'd like to repeat what I said about this scene when I saw it in the Sneak Peek : What the fuck happened to Not-playing-Games!Reid.

Reid's photo graphical memory is now Canon

Reid with his feet up on Lily's coffee table (and Luke climbing over his legs)

Bob about Reid: I wonder what other suggestions you (Luke) made that he choose to ignore

Reid's speech to the union people - very moving and still very Reid


Lowlights:

I don't get the "joking" in the stabs between Reid and Katie, and it really hurt me to see them like this

I should really like that aggressive kiss at the end but the whole "You know, life is short, it's very short sometimes" thing that followed, gives me a cold shiver of foreshadowing, that I don't like
(And of course the latest spoiler reports has made hints that the worst rumors will come true)


Of course a lot of the tension in this episode has to do with Reid and Chris being a bit preoccupied with Chris' condition, and both Katie and Luke just being somewhat annoying over "helping" them to get CoS position, but then, Reid and mostly Chris want to play that game

As for those ATWT rumors that are now valid spoilers

Todays As the World Turns

+ Reid mentioning that kissing Luke at work can only help to improve his image
+ Chris to Reid: "As nuts as it sounds, you are the only person I can trust"
+ Reid: Picking up the phone is a relatively low risk procedure
+ The image of Chris on his knees begging to Reid for you know... stuff
+ Luke's sucky origami skills
+ Casey!!! I was willing to go headdesk when it looked like he was asking if Reid was actually gay, but then I squeed when he asked if Reid was actually human
+ Reid to Luke: Why do you look like somebody ran away with your trust fund? - never change Reid, never change
+ Chris: "Meet me in the men's room!- " Reid: "That's an invitation I never expected from you" --- yeah, right!
+ Reid: "I'm not coming on to you, but drop your pants!" - When Chris mentioned that he can't reach for the injection himself, I just knew that it had to be one of those in the butt things
+ Reid finally talking smack to Chris about the whole thing hurting Katie, and how much she means to Reid
+ Luke: "Come inside, no one's home!" - That tone of voice is killing me
+ The final scene with Reid and Katie - At least they can still turn to each other, even if Chris and his secret keeping is messing up both their relationships - Basically Reid needs to find out he's straight, and fall for her, and the whole mess would sort itself. Right now they would have the healthier relationship then either Katie and Chris or Reid and Luke

+/- The whole Noah stuff going down without him actually getting any screen time
+/- After Luke's invitation Reid remembers that it is his turn on the "Cockblocking Rota" - on the other hand, I think it may be good, because there is the underlining impression that Luke just invited him in because he felt guilty about all the Noah talk, and would probably throw a tantrum for Reid abusing his state of mind. Sometimes Luke is just still too much of a baby to handle a man like Reid. I admit, I would have dumped his cute but immature ass by now if I were Reid

- Luke still needing to bring up Noah in every second sentence - at one point he really needs to put his current boyfriend before his ex
- Seriously, how can ANYBODY miss that Reid and Chris are hiding something???
- Alison telling Luke that just because Noah was there first, Luke has the right to never shut up about him - Katie may be Team Lure, but Ali must be hanging out with the Nukies
