My hero
« on: August 23, 2002, 07:08:44 AM »
Wasn't Roger just GREAT today? OK, it doesn't take much to reduce Jeffy to a stammering idiot.  But, Roger just ripped him to shreds! Too bad he lost his steam in the face of Vicky's happy little camper act.

What is really sad is that I have KNOWN people like Jeffy and Vicky, with the "What can I do? I love him!" attitude  that somehow justifies putting up with the unacceptable. Though why she should be so huffy about Jeff's secretiveness makes no sense when she was thrilled and seemed actually proud of the fact that she had no idea what Burke did.

As for yesterday, poor Joe. What a loser character. I enjoyed him early in the series, but he lost the niceness without gaining anything. Now he's suicidal, he's homicidal and he's STILL BORING. I am so glad that we had Nathan Forbes to demonstrate that it is only the character and the writing....

Word!  He was almost (not quite, but almost) like the Roger of yesteryear.  God.  I had forgotten what that was like.  Yeah, you're right, he wimped out, but for one brief shining moment, Roger was Roger and so totally cool and snarky.

I like Joe better than Nathan, hated the way Nathan treated Noah!  >:(

It was good to see the Roger playing a strong character again. Now, if we could only see Liz that way again too.... ;)

More than likely his character deteroration is the reason Mr. Crothers left the Series. I also enjoyed his early performances.
It is a good day because I am still ticking!
