Alright. So I miss one or two shows
and all kinds of stuff must have happened… I am not happy that nbc.com only
makes the latest five episodes available.
They should have all the shows on there by now, for every season. But nonetheless, I’ll catch up.
I remember
Theresa being shunned from Thanksgiving dinner; then all of the sudden, after
several episodes without her even in them, she has her suitcases packed and at
the door. She’s telling Brady the baby
is upstairs and she’ll call in the morning.
Ok.
But
wait. Brady is going to get in a fight
with his grandpa over kicking her out and now he’s going to move into the
townhouse he bought for her, with her??
Wow. They have him acting like
he’s falling in love with her – which, to me, is just too unbelievable. He despised her so badly; there’s just no
way. Not happy with that.
Almost
missed Bo’s death too…because it was so stupid. Not sure what to say here; why so sudden, sitting on a park
bench, after all that time in supposed captivity? And why did the paramedics just stand there behind her while she
sobbed over his lifeless body, for several minutes no less, rather than making
any attempt to see if he could still be resuscitated? Had they been given prior notice that he was terminal anyway so
they shouldn’t even bother seeing if he could be brought back? I guess, because they just threw a sheet
right over his facer, as if they were prepared to take him to the morgue.
I like Hope
better as the strong, determined woman she is here again, than the naïve ditz
she was portrayed as with Aiden, though.
But I think it sucks that they even brought Bo back, just to kill him
off right away, in order to develop this role for Hope.
Now, let’s
talk about Abby and Ben. Great
storyline here, but still some hokey acting/ script-writing. I do like the psychotic character Ben has
become; it’s an interesting twist for what had become a rather boring love
triangle story. However, I don’t
believe he would have flipped on Abby quite so fast – he would have tried a lot
harder to convince her that he still truly loved her and was doing all of this
‘for them’. Then there’s the birth,
which, for all of us mothers (who have done this a time or two) was just
ridiculous. The whole scenario was
poorly constructed from the moment the midwife handed Ben the clean sheet to
put on the bed up (which never got put on) to and including the moment she held
up a perfectly clean, healthy pink, (what?) two-month premature ‘newborn’ baby,
who weighs at least eight pounds.
Enough said.
Abby acts
so helpless, it irritates me… she has always been so submissive to Ben, even
before we knew he was, indeed, psychotic (I always had my suspicions) I
never really liked her character. I
like Chad more and more, though – he just burst in to save Abby and the
baby. We’ll see how that goes.
Ok. Not so
well… after a short attempt at talking Ben into letting Abby and the baby go,
Chad is knocked out, face down, on the floor.
Abby stupidly handed the baby to Ben, with the gun still in his hands, giving
up her only leverage over him; and after Chad regains consciousness and
struggles with Ben a bit, he and Abby end up cuffed to the bed by arms and
legs, and Ben sets the bed on fire.
Doesn’t look good for them.
