Well I think YUCK about sums up my feels for today's episode,
and the rest of the summer session of DOOL.

First, I turned the set on early during SB and caught a major
make me HURL advert with Scarrie in a voice over about Austin
and Jessie, with scenes of them in the background. Damn it all
but it looks as though they are the late summer spotlight of
the show, a friggin' triangle amongst the three of them.

Then today's episode, Boink and Coitus, the barf-o-meter
hit a max. on this crap. RKK had that same expression
in dealing with Carlips as he has in the past with Lizard,
and others with whom he has gotten into altercations. The
guy has no acting range. And that rediculous tiff between him
and Carlips, are we, as viewers, really suppose to pull for him
since he knows that Viv is up to no good. Come on Sorel/the character
of Viv is so much more appealing that no matter how wicked/bitchy the
writers portray her I cannot feel any amount of sympathy/care for
the undynamic two-some. And the end scene, again some cheap 
9 1/2 Weeks take-up??--didn't that movie suck big-time to begin
with, why are we suppose to find that type of "erotic" crap appealing.
It does not work.  Boink and Coitus are a joke as a couple, and
Crystal and RKK are jokes, as minor/supporting characters yes, as
the primary focus of the show....GET REAL Mr. Corday?????

The Kim and Shane stuff. What of it? A complete waste of film, and
my time. The only good thing is that finally Marcus has a little
storyline/air time. But it is a crime that Biggs has to do so in
such a subserviant manner. The acter/character deserves better. He
deserves a storyline of his own. A Glynnis/Marcus/Desiree triangle
would have been so refreshing and so fun to watch, with interesting
characters...And then what of this Philip, the guy sure was not the
beef-cake whom we first saw. This guy does not appear to be the
young stud type--the other character had long blonde hair, and was
younger. I guess at the time of filming the present actor was not
available....

The only saving grace was the Viv/Nikki/Victor stuff. They are so
great together. The kid is cute, and a good acter. Viv, and Vic work
so well together. Nikki and Viv have such a chemistry too. And Nikki
works well with Vic. But all this will be ruined since Nikki will
be reunited with his mother, and Boink. So, because of this, I cannot
completely enjoy these great scenes, since in a short time they will
be ruined. Carly and Nikki....ahaahahahah, there will not be the same
chemistry. And, even though the writers and Corday will try and want
me to feel sorry for and root for a reconcillation between Nikki and
Carly, I am firmly rooting for Viv/Sorel; So another disappointment.
And another thing I don't see any resemblance beteen Nikki and his
biological parents. Nikki reminds more of a Jack type person, a young
Jack--intelligent, cultured, quick thinking, and he is much fairer
than either Carly or Lizard, more in keeping with Jack. 


Well, again only one day of Jack, one day last week, and one or so
the week before. No Jo. Julie only as a prop for Tanner and Molly--though
I thought her scene with Jack Tuesday was cute--Marcus only as a prop
for Kimmie's illness. And the previews for tomorrow are not at all
promising. And it seems as the writers are speeding up this Carly finds
out Nikki is her son stuff...I think I will go off and blow chunks, it
is more entertaining than the crap that Corday has been feeding us.

Spud--ARRRRRRRGHGGGGGHHHHHHHHH 

The folks at DULL will not get wise and listen to us.
