You have until tomorrow
« on: June 10, 2002, 06:01:49 PM »
::laughing:: That was awful nice of Maggie to start screaming in Adam's face like that. I missed a couple of episodes. Do they know yet that Adam was trying to save Carolyn's life?

Did Joe strike anyone else as a flaming jackass in this episode? Jealousy rears his ugly head. What kind of ultimatum is that?! Jeezus Maggie, it's so nice to know he trusts you.

So Cassandra has stricken Liz with the death thing already? Something we don't see resolved until.... let's see, after Chris comes to town.

Yes, I do agree that it was wierd to see Maggie screaming her head off like that in Adam's face.She screams really loud.I laughed about it though..It was hilarious to me.I mean, come on, Adam is not really all that scary.He's like a child.Joe did act a little childish today.I can't believe he would think Maggie would choose Willie over him.LOL...that's funny.I think it was mean that Cassandra put the death curse on Elizabeth.Why can't these people see that when Cassandra tells them to look into her eyes she is about to do something awful to them?..That annoys me the most!

Well, errr, yes, Joe WAS a flaming you know what today. It is rather nice to see him being something other than bland ol'Joe! And I will defend him somewhat. His experience with Willie has not been good. He told Willie he'd kill him if he came near Maggie, and he ONLY punched him! And Maggie is acting oddly, though I agree that she didn't deserve the ultimatum she got.

As for Maggie with Adam from her perspective: Never seen this guy before. He walks in and says Willie is bad. OHMIGOSH! A really tall man! AND he has BAD SKIN?! AAAAIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!! [scrm]

I guess because nobody ever compared notes about Cassandra :). Anyway, about Adam, I think that it would be kind of scary if somebody you didn't know just barged into your house and started berating and abusing one of your geeky acquaintances. I do think Joe was entitled to some better explanation of why Maggie went  over to the old house.  Joe asked her how she knew Willie was trying to warn her and she just says somehow she knew  ::). It would sound a little strange to me too, considering that she could have asked Willie any one of those times she went over there and thus justified her visit there without making Joe jealous.

And it was so unnecessary.  I mean, c'mon, she's been caught with Tony how many times?  At least three of them have been on the terrace.  You would think that it would sink into her bewigged head that she needed to find a more secluded trysting place.

My other comment here is that if Cassandra had spent five minutes trying to win over Liz in the first place, half of her difficulties would have been solved.  I absolutely love the comments a certain teal-clad character will make to her on that regard.

You know, I would have killed for a scene where someone's response to "look into my eyes," is something along the lines of "Why the hell should I?" followed by a "Why don't you take your day-glo wardrobe and that cheap wig and go find another sugar daddy?"

;)  

Of course, we would have no story then and I would not be so vastly entertained.  

Who here was rooting for Tony when he twitted her about being afraid of Stokes?

I agree with you! ;)...It was cool how Tony taunted Cassandra about her intimidation of Professor Stokes.

~Arashi


As for Adam saving Carolyn's life, Sam definetely knows as well as Joe, so Im assuming the rest of the town knows by now.
I could understand Maggie screaming at a stranger in her house when she first saw Adam, but then Sam arrived and managed to calm Adam down a bit.  What got me is that just when everything had quieted down, Maggie goes and tries to strike Adam and then all hell breaks loose.  Once again, poor Sam gets in the middle of something and winds up getting hurt.  Another thing, I wonder how he got home from the Blue Whale? I thought Joe was suppose to take him home? But wouldn't you think that Joe would have at least walked him to the door?

As for Liz and Cassandra, I don't know what it is that Cassandra seems to have against Liz. Perhaps she senses that she really doesn't trust her, but then again, no one else at Collinwood does either.  You would think that Cassandra would have put that spell on Carolyn instead. Carolyn had also caught the two of them together at the Gazebo and even threatened to tell her Uncle Roger all about it. So what happened there? After all, Barnabas, Julia, Carolyn  and even Professor Stokes know about the two of them. [hdscrt]

I have this horrible image in my head of a blind Sam stumbling home all the way from town probably nearly risking death more than once.  It's terribly unPC of me, but he was probably blind drunk as well.  Why the hell did they keep him blind any way?  I've heard the KLS story about him being so dependent on the teleprompter, but seriously if that was the case, half the cast should have been wearing dark glasses.

The cynical answer here is that the writers needed to write Joan Bennett out so that she could go do a play or get her face lifted or so that she could take a well-earned vacation.  

But you're totally right.  Cassandra has been caught no less than three times in that gazebo (general rule of thumb for sneaking around: places in full view are not a real good idea).  As you said, Carolyn, Professor Stokes, Julia and Barnabas know.  Roger probably has a damned good idea.  Hell, Mrs. Johnson probably knows.  And I'm betting that the people in Tony's apartment building know too.  

So this is like what?  Putting up an umbrella in the middle of a tornado.  

I see the motivation for the hatred of Liz.  I suspect that little chat about Cassandra's reasons for marrying Roger got under the second Mrs. Collins' skin more than she would like to admit.  But again, she could have been a little more patient or cast a spell of some nature to make Liz like her.

As for Liz's new hobby, I could be more forgiving of Cassandra if the resulting spell was less mind-numbingly boring.  But it's not  :P

Exactly!  While Adam bored me to no end and the Dream Curse was equally difficult to endure, Elizabeth's ghost sickness was the most unbearable part of this story line for me. She's beginning to sound like the Eagle Hill caretaker with all her talk of the dead.  Why couldn't Cassandra have simply put her in a coma as Laura did?
