I'm pretty sure this ^^^^^ was "To heave, perchance my life to
*leave*, that is the question."  I think "bare" is right, it makes
sense that way.

Do you suppose a knowledge of Shakespeare is a requirement for the role
of Mason?  He was quoting the Bard to Julia in bed at the inn the
other day too.  I know Lane Davies was a big Shakespeare fan, to the
point where he took off every summer to go do Shakespeare somewhere,
hence the numerous deaths/disappearances and revivals/miraculous
reappearances of Mason.  (Hmm, wasn't it one of these that gave birth
to the whole Sonny Sprockett storyline?  He had disappeared and hit
his head or something..or am I just mixing up my history?)

I thought all of the Mason/Julia interactions yesterday were amazing.
Gordon Thompson has been growing on me little by little, but yesterday
it was almost like watching the old Mason, just in a slightly
different body with a slightly different voice...pure joy :)

Thats the inconsistancy.  How do you know that Ally (actually Alexandra)
was Mac's mother's name?  Because when Sam and Amanda named Ally, they
said that they were naming her after Amanda's grandmother (Mac's mom)

Well - heres the inconsistancy.  

When Amanda was born,  they agonized for a while over what to name her.
Mac and Rachel and Ada thought and thought and though and finally
dug out the baby book and began with the A's.  They got to Ada, and 
Ada said - "Don't you dare name that child after me".  They laughed,
then they came upon the name "Amanda".  Rachel paused and considered
it.  She said there was something about the name she really liked.
Mac was beaming.  He said, "I'm so glad you like that name.  I do
to - It was my mother's name".

So it was settled.  Amanda was named after Mac's mother.  So how many
mother's did Mac have if he also had one named Alexandra?

Perhaps, Mac's mother's name was Amanda Alexandra, or vice versa,
but they never said that.  Amanda announced that Ally would be
named after her grandmother, Alexandra - no comment about Amanda's 
name.

Oh maybe Deb it had something to do with the housekeeper in Budapest...

Margaret Sophie Stein.  She said that Susan Lucci (Erica) and Michael

A big thank you to Laurel for keeping a most excellent
watch on the opening pictures!  

Now, were my eyes deceiving me, or was that also a new
picture of Jack (in his same old place, next to new pic of 
Edmund) ?  

Also, I wonder why they kept Angelique in if she is history?

And while I'm at it, I think James Mitchell (aka Palmer) should 
renegotiate his contract to contain something about not taking the
severe diss that the opening pictures give him!  I mean, why should
his picture be covered by An Li's????  Considering that Ruth & Joe,
Brooke, Adam & Stuart, and Phoebe & Langley (who hasn't been seen
for nearly a year now!!!) are all framed, don't you guys find it odd
that Palmer's picture is just kind of there?  Put PC (and Opal if
you have to) in a frame, dammit!  He is classic AMC just like those
other characters!  (Uh, oh!  I think I may have just paved the way
for a "put [insert fave character here] in a frame" thread, where
9 out of 10 posters say fave character = Tad!)

Now that I think about it, why doesn't one of those soap mags
do an article about AMC's picture hierarchy?  They are always doing
little stories on how actors battle it out for dressing rooms, how
they negotiate contract perks, etc.  Why not a story on how AMC
arranges the pictures?

Well, I have a problem with even the occasional use of it.  Sorry, but I
do.  And you don't, and that is fine.   If it ain't good all the time it
ain't good some of the time.    If she is allowed to say, even once,
"Mrs. Bo Brady" then I want to hear "Mr. Carly Brady", or "Mr. Carly
Manning" just once!

Then why doesn't it ever work the other way?   I just don't like the
practice AT ALL and I think it makes no sense.   The only Mrs. Bo
Brady should be Bo after a sex change.

That isn't the point.   I wasn't assuming this would be her name forever

inappropriate in my eyes.

Thank god, I thought I was the only one who liked to play with these.  I have
several sets and want to set up a village when our basement is finished.
I have a firehouse set upstairs in my closet that hasn't been put together
yet because there is no room right now.  I keep asking for Lego's for my
birthday and Christmas, but no one takes me seriously around here.  I always
thought the best job would be to work for Lego putting up those big displays
in department stores and malls.
