HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO FACEBOOK SITE MEMBER STACY ANN! Hello Readers!

Before I begin, I’d like to share a funny story. It’s one that will show you just how much smarter, (and more sensible), a six-year-old girl’s thoughts are than a couple of storylines we’ve dealt with this week. My six-year-old daughter lost both of her front teeth this week. She got “Tooth Fairy” money for one tooth on the first day, not so timely on the second day.

When she didn’t see either the tooth or any money, and when her mother’s explanation for the missing tooth didn’t fly….

She went to Google and searched: “Where did the Tooth Fairy take Leyla’s tooth?” I laughed, and realized that if a six-year-old would naturally come up with the idea to find answers from a CREDIBLE source, and not fall for the first line of junk she was fed….

THEN WHY ARE WE BEING FORCED TO STOMACH THE NONSENSE OF THE GIGI-STACY-CUTTER STORYLINE?

Enough pre-talk. Let’s get this train moving.

The Buchanan Saga Chronicles-Pt. 1—More Hope for Clint? Okay, I am not in any way letting Clint off the hook completely for all of the crimes he has committed just yet, but…

I have to admit he’s beginning to soften me up as he slowly walks down the Path of Redemption. His interactions with Liam and Viki were sweet, and while I hate the very air Brody breathes these days, I found Clint’s temporary imposed truce a step in the right direction. We all know that when the truth about Liam comes out, Clint will have more than his fair share at making Brody pay.

Stock up on the Rogaine and Pepcid AC, folks, I predict that somehow everyone is going to find a way to “understand” Brody’s reasons for lying about Liam. As much as I can sort of “understand” his reasons for becoming involved with Natalie, there’s no way in heaven, hell, or earth that I “get’ Brody going to the great lengths he did to keep John away from his son. Let’s get back to Clint and Viki.

Clint cracked me up when he said that if Liam fussed, he would just “fuss back”, and when he admitted to Viki that he was actually glad that she stayed behind with him because he didn’t trust that he could properly care for Liam, I felt a bit of warmth. That was a chunk of vintage Clint Buchanan, and to that I say…“Welcome back. It’s been awhile.”

The concept of KIMBERLY ANDREWS needs to be put to death. There is no use for her, and it’s time for the writers to let Clint’s mid-life crisis die with his old heart. He had his moment of parading around with a young stripper and showing her off to his old cronies back at the office. GROW UP and get back in line with your time, buddy. Being constantly forced to watch the cameras zoom in on the letter from prison addressed to Clint was certainly not a viewing highlight. The only reason I would want to see Kimberly back is just for the ten minutes it will take for Rama to kick her unmentionable and send her back to whatever cave she came from—hopefully with Cutter securely wrapped in the chain of her prison ankle bracelet sailing away with her.

Buchanan Chronicles: Pt. 2-Lord of the Siblings

How hilarious was the argument between Tina and Todd? It was a touch of vintage Manning madness between those two and Viki was her usual classy self about the whole thing. We got a taste of the formula that combines Todd’s dark side and Tina’s kooky side just in time for Halloween!

Law & Order—Pt. One: More On Baby Liam Well, the return of Michael and Marcie was certainly a great treat for us viewers, but a much needed visit for the characters. John definitely needs to get moving one some things QUICKLY, and Marcie needed to return to remind everyone of Brody’s violent nature. Now, there are some REAL light bulbs burning! John soaked up Marcie’s revelation about Brody flipping out on her when the truth about Shane not being his son came out. The flashback Marcie shared showed Brody shoving Marcie to the ground when she told him that he had to tell the truth about Shane.

Oh, I wish he WOULD try to hurt Natalie when the truth comes out! He would have such a mob beating him down that he would think he was back on the battlefield! It would serve Natalie right to get a little scare or two after getting so stupid these past few months. It should happen like this:

Natalie finds out about Liam’s paternity while she’s getting ready for her wedding, and John finds out about it at the same time at the station. Natalie, being the idiotic risk-taker that she is, will try to confront Brody all by herself. Brody will try to convince her that they can still be a “family” with everything he’s got, but realizes that it’s too late. Natalie will tell him that she can’t forgive his lies and he’ll snap. He’ll rough Natalie up just as John arrives. John should stand back for just a few extra seconds to let Brody scare the living hell out of Natalie as payback before kicking Brody’s Navy SEAL…(BEEP!). But hey, that’s just me.

There’s been quite a bit of feedback about a John and Natalie reunion. The support is split. Some people feel that Natalie doesn’t deserve John back, and some believe that Nat and Brody could be good for each other….NOT ME!!!! Brody and Natalie have NO CHEMISTRY..NONE! Not as a couple, not as “co-parents” not even as co-workers in the police department. UGH!!! Every time they “kiss” as a couple it looks like they had to check the instructions on how to do it. I think the long dragged-out deadline for the end of this storyline is getting to them, too. They look like they’re begging for someone to put them out of their misery.

As for John, he’s the most stubborn man I’ve ever seen, and the most cowardly, too. I never understand how a man can go out and slay a dragon, run down dangerous criminals, drag race cars and motorcycles at 100 miles per hour without the slightest sense of caution, but when it comes to saying “I love you”, they quiver like the Cowardly Lion. TELL the woman you love her already! See how it goes! And while you’re at it…

TAKE A REAL CLOSE LOOK AT THE BABY’S FEATURES!!!! He’s a black-haired, blue-eyed child!!!!!! Hello???? The storyline is running on empty, and I predict it drops dead on the side of the road before week’s end. UGH!
