Sasha however, despite being imperfect, remains self-aware... which continues to endear her to me.
The Good
NLG gave a Tour de France performance today. I thought the initial scenes were a bit much but she killed it (no pun intended) during Sam's hospital scenes. KM was there of course but NLG had several scenes where she delivered a monologue. Alexis has irked me for months, but NLG deserves all the kudos for what brought to life today. And kudos to the director as well.
NLG was awesomeness.
I also liked Elizabeth comforting Alexis.
Elizabeth is an awesome nurse.
The Bad
Mikey literally standing there in judgment of his wife for kissing his uncle--knowing fool well he just played hide the salami with Sasha was truly a new low. And then to have sex with her on the couch was the cherry on the top. He stood there and watched her thisclose to groveling. A true man who loved his wife and who just had sex with another woman--would have gone a bit easier and not had such a chip on their shoulder. He's a meal-mouth, momma's boy, little bitch baby!
Mikey grates on my nerves most days.
The Ugly
Jason even being there today when the list is long of characters who would have made way more sense: Diane, Molly, Krustina, Dante! And then a stupid montage. For what? You haven't been together in what a decade? Fuq your crocodile tears for a woman you allowed to think you were dead, as she raised your child for three years.
Yeah... I'm sure it's in SBu's contract that he gets to have a reaction whenever any of his exes dies... the only good Jason is a dead Jason.
I hate Drew and Cody and that hasn't changed. Cody isn't a stand up guy. Don't care how badly Drew needed to be punched and he did--Cody should not have been the one to do it. The entire reason for it is beyond contrived. And then today, the son of a bitch is still angry. For what? Until kissing Willow, Drew really hadn't been an @$$hole. You know what would have been better? Drew approached Cody and asked "Hey friend. I hope I can count on your vote." And then Cody slugged him. At least that way, Cody was minding his own business and then here comes Drew, smiling and asking him for something. And even if most of what Cody said about Drew was true--he proved that he hasn't changed or grown. He is still the same opportunist he was when he came to town two years ago. How do I know this? Because if Cody had grown at all, he would have turned down Drew's bribe. He didn't. He asked for $100,000 and was marked down to $50,000 which is $49,900 more than he's worth. That was the moment for Cody to stand on his principles, instead he showed that he has little integrity.
The only thing about this that really irritated me is that Cody didn't insist upon getting more money off of Drew. I am not arguing with what you say. It was not a good look on Cody... but hearing anyone put it to Undrew does my heart good. Kind of like the way Scott always gives Jason and Sonny down the road... it is refreshing to hear someone say it out loud!
