jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
- Show starts off with Sneak Peak
- John smacks down Chris
- Margo being there for Katie
- Oh Kim, right now I want to smack you about as much as your son
- So Kim and Bob see Chris in bad shape, and still send him to go golfing? WTF?
- Kim, stop pretending that Chris is already CoS
- Noah: Reid was just passing along a neurologist in LA, and I was passing along...you - oh no, you didn't!!!
- Reid: I heal brains, I don't read them
- Oh look, the gays still don't kiss when everyone else would kiss
- Oh Margo!!! So far she's the second best character in today's show
- John better chain Chris to a hospital bed
- Reid actually being considerate to Kim and Bob about Nancy ... see, he does have people skills
- Luke to Noah: you're one of the best guys I know. - He really needs to stop being so delusional about Noah
- Oh Noah - *headdesk* - also, his one song and dance and anger is getting boooooooooring
- I wish Luke and Noah would be done having this conversation over and over and over and over again
- Oh Noah, how many things have you just said that should Luke make cut all connections with you FOREVER!!!!
- John: Why did I come back here? Everything and everyone in this place is so complicated.
- Absolute love for that scene with Katie and Luke
- STFU Chris
- Reid wants a threesome with Chris!!!!! *ROFL*
- I so knew that Reid was faking not knowing anything about golf
- Luke and Katie realize that they are in love with their men at the same time
- Oh Luke, baby, you couldn't be more wrong about what Reid and Chris are doing right now
- I love how Reid stopped to don his lab coat before shoving Chris in a hospital bed
- Oh Reid, pissing off a board member so he can get Chris to the hospital ... he's too good for Oakdale
- So Luke and Reid spent about 20 seconds together on screen, and most of that they were at odds ... well, preview for tomorrow looks like it will get better


I know that most people will think the smackdown Luke pulled on Noah was the highlight of the day, but for me it was Reid playing golf

Oh Reid - you're brilliant
Oh Noah - you're far from the same

Looks like we are in for one last epicsode tomorrow before all goes to shit on Friday


jassanja: Please don't take! (Default)
For me this was easily the best episode in a long time

- Oh Bob
- Oh John
- Oh Katie
- Oh Chris (first time in this storyline I am actually a bit touched in the scene where he explains himself to Katie)
- Oh Kim ("They could be the same person" - She's really surprised?)
- Whatever you're thinking, don't say it (Kim to Reid after John told him that they were once married)
- Oh Reid ("Like I bother to learn those people's names")
- Reid and John interacting - I really can see why all the long time watchers were so excited about that
- Oh Katie (she's heartbreaking in this)
- Oh Chris (Is he still saving his ass by not telling Katie that Reid knows, or is he for once protecting Reid by not telling her?)
- Oh Reid (He's calling Chris Doogie again!!!)
- Oh Kim (yep, for her the idea of John and Reid teaming up must be scary)
- Oh Reid (his getting soft, those insult to that nurse wasn't really Reid-y)
- Oh John (he can make Reid feel three feet tall)
- Oh Reid ("and I with I hand my hands deep in someone's brain right now")
- Reid's so happy that he can leave the mess of explaining to Chris
- John about Reid: He's an odd duck, isn't he
- Oh Kaite (ordering Reid to his room like a child)
- Oh Reid (despite his words he's unable to let Katie suffer)
- Oh Katie (she keeps breaking my heart)
- Oh Reid (telling Katie how much she and Jacob mean to him)
- Oh John (telling Chris what and idiot he is)
- At least they acknowledge that it isn't easy to find a donor heart under normal circumstances

but oh the foreshadowing to spoilers )
jassanja: (Cats - *pawned*)
You know every time I write something disrespectful about the idiots in charge of As the World Turns I have this little voice in my head that tells me that by September 20 I will have to eat my words and bow to how brilliantly they managed to leak misleading pictures and scripts, lied in interviews and planted spoilers and rumours just to surprise everyone with a brilliant ending of the show

Then I remember myself to see the shit of a show they have written in the past year and realize that they could never come up with an idea as brilliant as screwing with everyone mind the gauge interest in the final weeks of the show up
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
Thursday:

This episode did not do it for me
I saw nothing positive in it aside from Reid's obsession with his toothbrush

Tallied up on the negative side on the other hand:

- I really liked Chris in the beginning, now I just want him to drop dead. He doesn't deserve better
- Katie's smugness at her telling Reid that she and Chris had sex ... no, just no!
- Chris pointing out that Luke spends more time in the hospital then he does ... let's all remember that Chris wants to run that thing
- Reid still lying to Katie because of Chris
- Foreshadowing
- Cockblocking by Jacob's toys and Reid needing to get to work ... sorry, right now those lukewarm kissing scenes are not making me happy anymore
- Luke starting to lie to Katie too because of Chris
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
.. but I blame it on stupid show writing meeting heavy duty pain killers


I know that back in February/March the general opinion was that the Luke/Reid romance would get nowhere. That it was one-sided attraction and all Reid/the Lure shippers could hope for were a stolen kiss or two like the one in Dallas before Luke would run back to Noah, and the rest of the show would play out like nothing had ever happened

That didn't happen, as now, six months later we have Luke and Reid in a relationship ( unlike others I refuse to call it healthy due to lack of intimacy for months) and talking about being in love and planning a future

And now, the more spoilers seem to come confirmed for the last couple of weeks before the show comes to a close, I wonder what went wrong?
Did they try to make both the Nuke and the Lure camp happy? Generally, they didn't manage that ( I know, some hardcore Nukies won't see that they got cheated of a fair ending just like everyone else, but that is always the case with the extremists ... see the Harmonians who still believe that Rowling got her canon wrong)
Did they try to make the homophobic execs/sponsors/viewers happy? That they may have managed!
Did they just try to come up with the worst possible end imaginable? (well, short of a Zombie-Apocalypse combined with an Alien-Invasion ... but that end would at least still have had some pulp-y amusement factor)
Possible other endings I could make up
- Reid running off with Katie (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Noah (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Chris (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Henry (I'd ship even that)
- Noah sailing to the west with the Elves
- Luke decides to run off with a sparkly vampire
- Oakdale is overrun by PMSing lesbian ninjas
- Oakdale is blasted out of existence by a laser on the moon (Lucinda and Reid celebrate their achievement of World Domination with cackling laughter on their moon base)
- It turns out Oakdale was a 24 hour TV show about the real life of people who didn't know they are in a reality TV show and now that the cast has found out they are leaving the big fake studio
- The whole of Oakdale is getting ejected from the Matrix as a faulty experiment (Have I mentioned those pain killers I'm on?)

If anyone is searching for me I'm in Egypt taking a bath in that big river they have other there... called denial or something like that

Just read a more detailed description of the dreaded ATWT spoiler ..... and no, it isn't getting better

Really, show, really????!!!!!?????


jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
+ Reid calling Luke out on his shit (oh yeah baby, so they haven't emasculated him around Luke completely)
+ Reid about Noah and Luke: "He overstated, you overreacted"
+ Luke: If you're a lamb, what about me? - Reid: You're a tasty hot side-dish
+ Katie wanting to root for both Chris and Reid as CoS, and Luke mentioning that they should share to position - Chris: We wouldn't last a week - Reid: We wouldn't last a shift
+ Katie, Kim and Bob finally realizing that something is wrong
+ Reid telling Luke the truth about Chris ... if he now could just do the same to Katie
+ Reid. Good god who am I, I hardly recognize myself anymore
+ Luke: you can't see anyone suffer - Reid: usually I don't mind seeing them fail


+/- I had the feeling that the end of yesterday wasn't the return of Rooftop!Luke (Like everyone else seemed to see it) but that Noah had managed to plant doubt in him.. unfortunately I was right
+/- Luke pretty much realizing his stupidity when he mentions that it was Noah who told him that Reid was cheating. For someone who claims not to let Noah play him anymore, he got pretty played by Noah in this mess
+/- Ok, this possibly has a lot to do with my personal fucked up morals, but I don't even think Luke has the right to call Reid out on the supposed cheating, as there is nothing between them happening that could be cheated on
+/- Reid bailing Chris out when talking to the donors

- Chris - I really have no words anymore for how stupid that guy is. Reid should just give up on him and let him drop dead
- How can anyone really believe Chris can do the CoS Job? He has no clue what he is doing about, even if we give him the doubt of not being on his best, due to his condition
- Kim still seeing everything Reid does as negative

Conclusion:

Reid was once again the most awesome character around
Everyone else was on my nerves
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
Sorry, I need to let off some steam

(And I haven’t even seen today’s episode yet, as I just find more enjoyment from the YouTube Vids then from joining the Livestream and discussion - I just got the feeling from reactions, that today is not the happy day many have hoped for

Rant about spoilers is ranty and spoilery )
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
Another episode I'm not really sure what to think of


+ *shallow* Jake/Noah in that suit ... I said it for the previews already, but damn, boy cleans up nice ... can't even blame Luke for calling him handsome
+ Luke's speech about him and Reid "being serious" and how he is fighting his expression so he won't hurt Noah, but can't help but look sooo happy about it
+ Reid to Chris: Do you even read the same medical journals I do?
+ Reid becoming a cardiologist in his spare time (never mind that he should use that time to become a hands-on sex therapist for Luke)
+ The show really playing the shenanigans with Chris and Reid like an illicit affair (secret meetings in the men's room, sneaking into a hotel...)
+ Chris to Reid: "It will take ten minutes, then you can go back to kicking puppies" (As stupid as this storyline is, the interaction between those two is hilarious)
+ Katie speculating that Chris will be the next one to punch Reid
+ Katie calling Chris her sort-of-almost boyfriend and Chris wondering is she came to see him or Reid
+ Nurse to Luke: You really had a lot of coffee
+ Luke calling Noah out for trying to cause trouble between Luke and Reid
+ Noah: Whatever you feel about Reid, make sure it isn't one sided (wow, Noah had a positive moment in this show aside from looking good in a suit)

+/- Return of Noah, and the writers deciding to overdue Luke's "I can never forget you" spiel again
+/- Cute Nuke moment when Noah is asking Luke to go to LA with him
+/- Noah giving Luke his own version of the Face-Touch-of-Epic-Tenderness (That's part WTF and part brilliant)

- Chris sill being an idiot
- Noah still being full of fail ... forgetting that Luke has a corporation (or two) to run, mistaking an almost passed out Chris for Reid's secret lover
- Luke and Noah doing their "I was blind" - "You didn't want me to help" song and dance again ... almost a year on that storyline and they are still going in circles ...
- Katie buying the lamest exchange of reasons why she ran in on Chris and Reid fighting
- If people aren't punching Reid, he get's blackmailed
- Reid slapping Luke's arm in greeting? Really????? Way to cockblock the gays again by the idiots in charge
- After all the chiding Luke gave to Noah for bad-mouthing Reid, Luke goes and accuses Reid of being a liar (see, that is where the whole Reid and Chris storyline is stupid, stupid, stupid, because Reid is turning into a liar)
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
+ 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
jassanja: (ATWT - Reid - Idiots)
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
jassanja: (ATWT - Luke/Reid/Noah/Richard - Wife Swa)
I really should not get so invested in a TV show as I am right now with ATWT

There was one scene of Luke and Reid playing chess today, and now I am in tears because there are only two months left, and evil spoiler/rumors around

What the fuck happend to cool-stone-hearted Jass?
jassanja: (QAF - Quote - Ted - Fluent in Sushi)
I'm feeling a bit nauseated

I'm not sure if it is because of the Switzerland/Honduras game, the oh so promising looking ATWT promo for next week, or because the sushi I had for dinner was going bad
jassanja: Please don't take! (Default)
Now that we know that Reid is a surgeon for stuffed animals on his other alternate Wednesdays we return to our regular World Cup squee

Go Ghana!
Go Serbia!

Aaargh!!!!

On one hand I want September to come already and be done with the suspense, on the other hand this triangle could go on and on and on forever.....
