SVU COUNTDOWN: 23 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS

Thanks Gwen, I hope so!

Gwen, I'm very sorry to hear about your current care giving situation. ...this sounds awful.

Oh, God ! I think your mom should focus on her own healing rather, than the environment and any other problems.

I know, that in the USA many people cannot afford even basic health insurance. They suffer severely under the present system and have to live under the constant fear of not knowing what they will do if they or their loved ones ever fall seriously ill.
But in many cases, insured individuals aren’t much better off either. In comparison to the exorbitant insurance premiums they pay, the medical care they receive is often very poor.

No system is perfect - but on the whole I think we're rather lucky in my country the population got to care of right and treatment to a public hospital in an emergency - and we've despite the fact that he had no medical insurance - we received quite adequate care. Pensioners are eligible for all sorts of Council provided services too.

lol, it is evident. Thanks!

I do not know, I still can not imagine that the story has the middle of monozygotic twins.
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Identity (TV episode 2005) - IMDb or Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Identity Synopsis - Plot Summary - Fandango.com
I've seen was a similar theme in the history of the SVU. The actor Reiley McClendon, cast in the dual role of as teenaged graffiti tagger Logan Stanton and his twin sister Lindsay.

Do you think this similar story will be repeated?? I do not get me wrong I would really like it if TR would play a dual role. Because I know perhaps the most challenging job for any actor of their careers is the double role of playing identical twins. And I know TR is constantly seeking new and exciting projects .

On the other hand, then would make really sense of this thing as DNA and fingerprint as You and Jessie have said namely that TR would be playing an identical twins .


Suppose that Gabriel has an identical twin.....
Yes, It is very likely, but I think that not Gabriel was who committed the crimes outside of NY but that other twin. But perhaps not impossible either that the two of them worked together..
If I know well, before a prisoner can be transferred out of state, the prisoner has the right to consult with
an attorney concerning his or her transfer rights; a free state-appointed attorney will be provided

A small interesting : the case happened of Minneapolis.
BTW, here is a similar case from real life, but that was a murder.
DNA Labs International



Just now reached into my brain that the name of TR's character the same as my husband's .

Gabor actually means Gabriel translated from Hungarian into English. Gabriel means literally, "helper of mankind"
The exact definition of the name Gabor is a variant of Gabriel meaning "the power of god", which would be very accurate as Gabor is known as being quite a beast.The name given to an outrageously sexy guy who is incredibly talented.
A fantastic lover and quite the gentleman. Gabor is a total bad-ass but is the most charming-sweet guy in the entire world.Has the ability to sexually arouse anybody of any gender by just simply walking into the room.


Agree with you, But we hope it won't be so. Especially now when it might he appears in a dual role.


Same here. If I see an actress usually on a theatrical productions,the question that has come into my mind is: How do they could fit well together on stage?

TR would play the role of Natalie Portman's dancing partner. I want it! I want it!

yeah, I know . I just thought I share this picture again in wich this guy here looks likeTR.

Lol, If the story is really about a possible dual role, then I think that Gabriel is not the culprit but the twin.I am wondering whether his family notice the difference.
I think the park scene is earlier like this with Danny&TR because (Gabriel?) acquired injury out there. But no sign of this on his face in there cell.


I'm so curious ! Can't wait to see what happens ...

to Wala, good luck with uni. WTF? it's terrible, she was only 14 almost as mine.

to Angie. Nice to see you here and glad you enjoyed the clip.

Great news!She's At Home ! I am SO insanely happy right now!!!


I love the contrast between the two performance. Thanks for sharing!

I love his current character. his voice filled with so much despair at first few second and at the end I shivered at his hard voice, so threatening . From where is this sonorous voice? His sonorous voice is smooth and almost hypnotic.
Gabriel when climbs into Danny's face and says, "My wife loves me,..." That's my favorite moment.


John P Roche is the writer of TR's episode ( DOUBLE STRANDS)
J.P.R. worked together with Warren Leight at Fox network.
Leight's drama series "Lights Out" starring Holt McCallany, Pablo Schreiber and Stacy Keach had an ardent following of fans, including this site as well as many stars and industry insiders. But the numbers failed to ignite FX, who ended the show in one season. FX announced the cancellation of the show.

Totally agree! TR is SO MUCH HOTTER than RIANN !

BTW, Wilson has particularly strong memories of playing "Philadelphia, Here I Come" at Minneapolis' with TR (Joe) at Guthrie Theater, where Dowling is the artistic director his during 1996 inaugural season.
Rainn Wilson portrayed the main character (Private Gar) in this play.


Congrats at the Emmys Mad Men !! Awesome.
Some day i'll watch !

SVU COUNTDOWN: 22 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS!

to Berni. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. The biggest problem with American health system is the overreliance on specialists and the limited role of generalists. If the urgent care clinic had the facilities to do one particular test than the doctor would've found out immediately that she had no blood clot. This would've saved the trip to the ER.

It also would've meant the medical info didn't have to change hands so many times. She has to be transported by ambulance so the info went to paramedics who supposedly handed it off to the ER who was suppose to give it to the upper floors.

Berni, the irony is that opponents of universal healthcare automatically assume it will be "Soviet-like" and talk about the bureaucracy. Private health insurance system of the US is bogged down with bureaucracy and dire situations become worse. When you go to any hospital you have to show ID and proof of insurance. If not many clinics will refuse to treat you. The insurance also tells you the level of coverage and you'll be denied certain treatments if you have less expensive plans. The American medical system has devoted an entire field just for classifications and each one comes with a different cost.

Thanks for the pix as they're so lovely. I still enjoy TR with blue hair. I love the banners. That's cute the person remembers that Arizona was one of the few supported his decision to join the army.

SVU has done many variations of twin stories. My favorite was the chimeric twins where one guy has two different DNA's so he raped with impunity. CSI also did a similar story. Maybe this time Gabriel is the true rapist and it's his twin who's the innocent one. The L&O shows are so inventive.

Perhaps, a non-twin explanation is he has multiple personalities. Either one explains why he seems a different person in separate sets of scenes. He truly seems confused as to why Danny and Ice-T are questioning him. He's so defiant with Danny but utterly broken with Kelli.

Do they even know about the twin? Also I'm curious as to who's playing Gabriel's wife. It's interesting we haven't seen her but we have seen his son.

I think it's after because the clip where Mariska, Danny, Kelli and Cpt. Cragen talk about interrogating him and they don't have the DNA yet. Cragen won't allow Kelli to participate. Mostly in that scene she's wearing a turquoise tee but she finally interrogates Gabriel she's wearing this:



Note you can see the bra strap through her blouse so she wasn't wearing the tee underneath.

Just the look of sheer defiance and anger along with barely simmering contempt is so fascinating. We've never seen him like this before. As you can see in the clip and was evident throughout Cold Case Danny has a nice intensity all his own and it was thrilling seeing TR match it. It just makes you so excited.

It's also wonderful a wider audience can see TR play someone who isn't meek. While I thought George was strong in many cases people often don't remember an entire arc. However they recall a single episode more and I'd love them to see this side of him.

I watched some episodes of Lights Out and it was good. Coincidentally Holt McCallany resembles TR. He's just more intense. I swear they could play brothers. FX was too quick to cancel it. I'm just excited for the overall quality of people he's working with.

I encompass all mediums. Some of those actresses I mentioned do stage as well. Yes, TR and Natalie Portman dancing would be so cute and sexy. She lives in his old LA neighborhood so I wonder if they met. I can imagine she'd like him.

If not there maybe through Sean Penn. TR and his ex attended the world premiere of Milkin SF. Interestingly aside from them the other attendees either were connected with the film or were part of the municipal political elite-many of whom were friends of Harvey Milk. That was cool TR was invited and met SP and the cast.

OMG! I had no idea Rainn and TR were in a play together. I would love for them to collaborate again.

THIS^ C'mon the editor of the episode tweeted how great TR was. I have never seen an editor so excited about an actor's performance. Warren can't stop talking about it. Even reporters are beginning to refer to it as the "TR episode" and he's more of the center of attraction than Danny or Kelli. However, Emmy voters make strange choices and are susceptible to media-driven campaigns. Maybe the critics will finally leave TR alone but as I said the lingering effects may have caused permanent damage. Some voters may think to themselves, "TR Knight, isn't this the person the critics keep saying is a lousy actor. Well, I liked him but choosing him might cause us to lose credibility."

BTW, just like with TR now some critics are saying Chris should've won the award afterall. Again this is why I stopped watching. I can accept if the voters truly selected someone but not if they succumb to press intimidation.

Awwwww

lanalintlicker:
That's quite a husband you've got there! You are one lucky gal.

Seriously I didn't know Gabor was Hungarian for Gabriel. Gabor sounds more like a warrior.

It's a good show and my favorite character is Peggy, played by Elisabeth Moss. That's why I want she and TR to star together.

Horges

I just found out I got a 99% on my first IT exam today ! I am super happy!


What does tour de force performance mean?

.
Oh, That does sound like a very convincing argument to me.Thank you for calling it to my attention.
Sorry, I just focused on TR and lost in the details.

Okey, I have to go to work right now. I am back later !

mariem201

Hey guys,

So sorry for not writing more. I came back home Sunday and have had so much to do since.

I started work in the evenings again and have had long nights.

I had a great time in Chicago but one week is not enough.

I did get to meet my friend Holly that I met while watching Mcleod daughters. We have been talking for 8 years and this was the first time we met. Her husband and her were wonderful and we talked for hours on end.

It was awesome. They are so sweet and invited us to Olive Garden, a great restaurant we unfortunately don't get here.

She is a big Grey fan so we didn't really get into that much, LOL.

It went by so quickly but I missed home and my three furry babies.

Poor Bud hadn't eaten much and was all skinny and had gotten scratches on his belly playing with other dogs. He is betetr now, very happy we are back and we have fed him well. Those scratches have finally went away and he is requesting belly rubs again. at first, his belly hurt too much from the scratches. Greg is super sticky glued to me and he and Bud wait for me every night, Cesar still plays Mr Independent though.

Gwen, I am so sorry about your mom. I cannot believe they lost the paper and wouldn't give her insulin, what if she had died?

It seems problem after problem for her. I hope you both get a break soon.

Berni, tour de force means an extraordinary, breathtaking performance.

It is a huge compliment.

I love all those wonderful comments about TR,s brilliance, makes me want to see the episode even more.

Gwen, are there really critics who bashed TR's acting?

I do know some people thought he got an Emmy nod out of pity, which was ridiculous as he did a stupendous job with his dad,s death story and the whole Gizzie thing, but I never saw anyone actually say he was a bad actor.

If they really think so, they don't know good acting.

TR always puts 200% in every performance and always feels so natural and real. Not once when I see him do I think : this guys is acting. I actually forget his characters are not real, that is how much he inhabits the roles he plays.

Berni, congrats for the great marks, not surprised at all. You are very smart.

Thanks for the photos.

He looks beautiful in them.

Blue did suit him, brought out his wonderful blue eyes.

Does Arizona really visit George's grave? That is cool!

I never heard of Danny Pinto before, but was impressed by what I saw on that clip. He is very natural just like TR. I instantly bought him as a detective.

He and TR do have a matching intensity and played well off each other.

Angie, I have been catching up on AMC and am now up to date.

I know I sent you a PM where I was pretty much abshing the show before I left for Chicago (not sure if you got it as facebook is being a pain about messages), but I am loving it again.

Not a huge Zendall or Zack fan as you know but I like his friendship with Ryan and the idea of them working together again.

I of course loevd all the Rylee and TD scenes, two amazing couples!

Cam and rebecca did the sweetest interview together recently, not sure if you saw it, but Rebecca said she had kissed Cam so much, she knew the smell of his skin. Just aww, and there was the cutest photo of Cam and his family. His kids are gorgeous.

Did you hear about him and Lindsay signing on with PP? Makes me so happy.

I loved the kendall and Greenlee scenes too. had me etaring up.

The Hubbards memorial episode was so wonderful. I was blubbering all over. That montage was just heartwarming and was glad to have Nathalia back for the event. And Maya moving back in with the Hubbards and Angie regaining her sight. When she told Jesse she was so grateful that the first thing she saw again was his beautiful face, I bawled. What a gorgeous couple! Theyw ent through hell and back and their love is stronger than ever.

The Kane day was a bit of a letdown though, I wish Erica would finally grow the heck up. Jack deserves better. Did like the Rylee and Ryan and Zack parts of it and the Myrtle mentions, but was annoyed at the lack of Mona.

What do you think of Dara? i really like them, which shocks me. Now that she has signed on, I hope he does too.

And yep, you need to bring Maddie to Chicago. She will love the aquarium and the zoo and the Cloud gate statue.

Gwen, did you watch the Emmys?

I totally forgot they were on, but then not one of the winners are from shows I watched.

Glee got a few noms but won nothing, which I was a bit surprised about.

The ratings are pretty down and it seems like the honeymoon with the show is already over for many people and critics, but I do still enjoy the show.

What did you think of the premiere? I liked it but strangely missed Sam.

What do you think of Blaine going to New Directions?

SVU COUNTDOWN: 20 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS

Congratulations, Berni, on your 99% on the IT exam!

to Marie. Nice tosee you back. I'mglad you enjoyed Chicago.

Berni, thanks for the link and the paragraph. This along with the editor who praised him specifically and Warren's steady flow of compliments in incredible. Honestly there's no need to specifically promote this episode since it's not the SP or during November sweeps. It's justts that good and they know talent when they see it.

I don't blame you on focusing on TR exclusively. I wouldn't have noticed Kelly too much if he wasn't looking at her. If she were in the backgorund I would've missed this detail.

Danny Pino played a detective on Cold CaseI'll have to see more if his characterization is close to Scotty Valens. Indeed I love his professionalism and his appropriate intensity. Elliot used to annoy me when he flew off the handle way too many times. Honestly this makes the confrontation between TR and Danny so much better for the former. Elliot could be easily rattled but Danny is more collect and if TR could faze him then that shows the force of his performance.

I can't wait and I missed the SP because I had a headache.

No, that was a person's headcanon. In her mind this is something Arizona would do.

Critics said that the only reason he got attention was because of the IW controversy otherwise George is but a slight, insignificant character. They slammed George for being weak and unmanly. In a reverse of Chris' backlash many contended TR/George was nothing more than comic relief therefore would've been better in the comedy category, which is against the rule. Tom O'Neil belittled TR's acting as merely a series of stuttering and blinking. Most said he lacked the gravitas of the dramatic acting greats of the past although presumably William Shatner and Masi Oka, who were also his competitors that year, had. Some did criticize the writing, which was odd since this arc has been cited numerous times for being one of the greatest of GA's history. You get the picture that the Emmy committee was warned that his win would tarnish the academy's prestige.

It was never about an aesthetic overview of his craft but a concerted effort to thwart the rise in his profile. He was seen as a threat to the establishment and the conventional wisdom that gay men are incapable of playing straight. The biggest factor was the issue he raised which was homophobia in the workplace and the use of the slur as unacceptable as ones directed against Blacks and Jews. In Hollywood just as in many other workplaces too many consider the epithet a privilege straights enjoy and don't want to lose it.

Likewise the backlash against Chris was less about his suitability for comedy and more about his rising fame and his anti-bullying platform. In Hollywood bullies reign supreme and seen as "the natural order of things." But what is not is a young man who has androgynous features playing an effeminate gay teen who can make ladies of all ages swoon. Much like TR who can embody the everyman, the working-class man and the underdog and make women love him and men identify with him.

For that and for Chris' smear campaign the awards have little credibility for me anymore and I use to be glued to every telecast until 2007. It's not the point of my faves not winning but that an unfair any hysterical crusade can be launched and the voters will cave-in. Sadly I can't see the winners of those races as being legitimate as they had a competition compromised in their favor. That's not to say I find them untalented and the irony is the two victors in question play my favorite characters on their respective shows. However, there's just something unseemly about prevailing when a major rival is unfairly eliminated. It's the feeling of reaping the rewards when your competition is murdered on your behalf.

Of course, I have to comment on Glee. This was a solid premiere and the show now has firm footing. The pacing was rather manic but joyful and infectious. One of the best things was it had a POV instead of being an excuse to sell songs on itunes. The song choices felt organic to the story and those were ones that stood the test of time. (No one is going to remember Kesha in 5 years so glad the producers are no longer raiding her catalogue.) "We Got the Beat" was absolutely sublime and the corresponding dance number was fun. In lesser hands "It's Not Unusual" could've been cringeworthy, especially it's referencing Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but Darren infused it with sexy, cheeky joy. The whole episode more less felt like a moving definition of the word glee.

The best thing is RIB made a commitment that Rachel and Kurt are the stars and it will be them that will drive the engine. No one else should be considered lead and it's telling that even critics who were tentative in their reviews thought this was the best part of the entire episode. It was nice to see them as friends rooting for each other rather than competitors. The scene in the car was just gold from Kurt's pep talk to Rachel's line, "I wish I was your boyfriend," which one of the most touching and selfless things she's said.

The irony though is while the writing tried to portray them as average or not particularly special in the larger world none of those clones could match Lea or Chris. The lady who did the "Anything Goes/I Can do Better" mash-up was Glee Project runner-up Lindsay Pearce. While in some places her voice was lovely she shouted through the number and left no personal touch. If that were Lea (or Chris) that number would be so humanized. All those wearing Kurt's wardrobe couldn't pull it off.

This was a polarizing subject but I enjoyed Quinn's new attitude. It's a natural reaction to everything she's experienced and Dianna brought plenty of depth in her scenes. Most of all I love how she's carries this strong presence and she looks gorgeous with her pink hair. I'm happy it wasn't resolved quickly and is going to be an arc. Last season RIB were caving into nearly every fanbase and critics yelping and positioned every female character as a rival to Rachel's status as the lead. However, not being the lead doesn't mean you're unimportant and this was a good way to handle that matter. Her story is major and intersects nicely with Rachel. I love their return exploration of the RQ friendship.

They've finally resolved the Sue dilemma. Yes, she is always going to be mean but not only can she be nuanced but there's a certain purpose. Last season she just destroyed property for no reason but being in a bad mood. Now she has her motivations.

After seeing Will be portrayed as ineffectual all last season I'm glad he was shown still earnest and caring but ready to discipline. Contrary to popular opinion Santana conspiring to set school property ablaze would've gotten her suspended rather than just expelled from the glee club. She deserved it and Will made a stand for the integrity of himself and his students.

I'm mixed on Blaine. His transfer wasn't as terrible as I imagined but not entirely satisfying but I suspect there's a different reason entirely. My guess is since it's the second day of school there was a power shift in the Warblers that made Blaine less the center so he switched knowing he could be the lead in ND. As I said his performance was deliciously adorkable. The best was when he countered Finn's challenge. I got a distinctly Jesse vibe and now Blaine is becoming more human. Please nix the copycat Kurt wardrobe! The few times he's out of the Dalton uniform he's worn hipster styles. Go back to that now. Ugh, it's like they're saying gays who aren't Dave are all effeminate.

As sweet as Klaine was in this episode they really don't have much chemistry. Blaine had more with Santana. Whether they consummate their desire or not I'm awaiting the return of Dave because seriously I need to watch Kurt have sparks with someone.

Will the character assassination of Finn ever stop?! He had plenty good reasons to warn Blaine even in that tone that he was not going to get special privileges and to respect his status as club captain. He knows from Kurt and Blaine himself, who has been to the Hudmel house that he used to having all the solos. He also knows how that makes Blaine rather self-absorbed and has hurt Kurt's feelings many times. This could've been a show of leadership but it was written as Finn being insecure. Again Blaine is in the "right."

Since this was filmed before the 3D movie's flop I hope they learn that people are so over girls dry humping furniture and shaking their asses in mock anticipation of being penetrated. It bothered me too many sequences were devoted to Santana and Brittany doing pole dance moves while Rachel was off to the side. The worst part was the 1950s sensibility camera work where most the guys were filmed from the waist up.

Ironically the 3D movie showcased how incredibly fluid Harry moves and the way his legs moves remind me of the grace of Fred Astaire. He has long sensuous legs. Chris' pelvic gyration is fun and empowering. Mark's is more aggressive but never predatory but sexy nonetheless. Darren's is just commanding. With four amazing male hip swivelers the show needs gender parity in the sexiness department. It's getting to the point where every Cheerio might as well have a sign in the front and back that says "insert here" with an arrow pointing to their orifices.

S2 soured me on Wemma and the premiere didn't make me fall in love with them again. Instead their romantic chemistry seemed to be non-existent, especially with the crackle Will had with Bieste. The scenes of them waking up together in bed repeatedly was so repetitive. I'm definitely peeved because if that was cut then we could've had Kurt/Artie's duet section in YCStB:

Glee Cast - You Can't Stop The Beat (Glee Cast Version) - YouTube

I don't worry about the overnights since it's download and DVR playback is amazing. So many people watched it online rather than traditionally. Majority of the critical reception was positive as were most of the responses. There are always going to be professional complainers and they became transparent in the early replies. I caught posters who bitched last season about too much Kurt and Rachel and how characters like Quinn and Will were neglected. Now these selfsame add Quinn and Will to the overexposed list as well. It's as if they're trying to make the case for any character.

Frankly on the issue of "balance" most great storytelling shows like Lost and Mad Men each season charted the overarching theme and some characters appeared only in a quarter of the episodes. It had to be done for the sake of the narrative. With most of the cast seniors about to graduate the juniors have to recede a bit. It doesn't mean ignore them especially with singing parts but the recommendations of a 10 episode arc for Tina and Mercedes each are . Mike is coming to the fore which people bitched about. Lauren isn't coming back until midseason which is wrong! Seriously after a season of not addressing issue people are gnashing their teeth over the return of the Beth arc.

Actually the ratings were adjusted for Glee and now it's 9.21 million which is a 610,000 DVR playback. That's high.

Hello!! Sorry I dont have the opportunity to log on very often. Unfortunately with work, homeschooling Maddie, running our home office and Ron's tour, I have little time for the internet. I try to check in @ Facebook at least 2 times a week because of Family and will try to log on here 2 times as well.

Maddie was chosen to be Cinderella for her 'On the Stage' class. TR here we come.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TEST SCORES BERNI!! You should be VERY proud!

20 days!!!!!!

I am a bit disappointed in Danny Pino being the new Detective. Not to be negative, but he really never clicked with me on Cold Case. I am hoping it was the Director and Writers on Cold Case and will try to keep an open mind. Honestly, I was a Stabler fan so perhaps I am resisiting change. lol. I just think Chris Meloni is a superb Actor and will miss him dearly. It is hard to accept Benson without Stabler.
At least they are bringing our TR back to TV.

Gwen - you and your Mom are in my prayers. Please keep us posted.:hug

Marie - I am going to miss AMC so much. I cannot believe tomorrow is the finale on ABC. The last few weeks have been the AMC that I remember so fondly & was once hooked on. They found their magic again. I have a feeling PP will not be able to attract the Actors/ Characters that I love. I hope I am wrong. So glad to see Cameron and Lindsey signed on. I guess there is hope. You know I have never been a Castillo fan, but I am loving David and Cara together. She brings out a tender side of David. Who do you think is the other person David saved. It was supposed to be a woman right?

SVU COUNTDOWN: 19 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS

to Ang. It's nice to seeing you here. What a busy schedule you have. You're even managing Ron's tour. Congratulations on Maddie being chosen as Cinderella. I can just see how amazing and cute she'll be.

kadelrossi:
I'm checking diligently that TPTB didn't move up the schedule and make TR's episode next. According to the official site the next one is still "Personal Fouls" with Dan Lauria. Speaking of which as you can gather it's about basketball and a few NBA stars are making cameos. Interesting that this fact isn't nearly as promoted as TR's episode. Just more reason to be look forward to it.

sighting:

That's so cute TR and Katie hanging out again. Follies is a Broadway musical starring Bernadette Peters.

I can understand. I liked Danny on Cold Case and I see a bit of Scotty here. Of course, he's never going to replace Elliot and Chris Meloni is a superb actor who could sell his character even during some difficult scenes. However, I thought the SVU writers were too lazy in having Elliot rough up the suspects after so many seasons and compromising confessions. Also sometimes he seems way too rattled over fairly common digs. Fin learned to control his temper and be smart about aggression towards a suspect. It seemed they wouldn't do the same for Elliot.

Danny seems to be more cool so it's particularly thrilling that Gabriel can get under his skin.

how is everyone ?
So I was attending Uni for 2 days last week and hardly anyone was around
I got a bit sick and there you know protests in here so I didn't go for the rest week and then I got a message telling they had to cancel some classes so now gotta arrange everything here and there on Sunday probably ..
I have to start with talking about GA SP I only watched the MD parts along with CO so far. I admit it wasn't that bad considering there has been like 100 reviews for the SP so far. Of course Zola was taken away from MD since both were taking pretty childish considering they were progressing international adoption WTF . I just don't understand it the way both were acting as if it was MD from S3-4 not a grown married couple so yeah contrived but I guess a way for them to have SL. Cristina got the abortion which I'm thankful for since it would been a hideous SL if kept it we already had the SL where the mine was changed with Arizona who's now couldn't be happier with being on a modern family with Callie and Mark but Cristina I was very glad they didn't sugarcot even Meredith told Owen Cristina would be like Ellis was to her and she would resent the kid. Owen shockingly enough stood by Cristina and came around but I think it will bite them both in the ass eventually because Owen is he gonna stay forever childless ? The fans some were thrilled she gone through but many CO shippers hated she gone through with it and said she should have kept it many are jumping ship. I guess Shonda interview about the abortion should be out anytime she wouldn't resit it
The rest of SL were blah Teddy along with Jackson and others didn't bother with them. According to Shonda she didn't map this season theme since she isn't sure who's leaving and staying . The ratings were good enough 10 M but next week doubt they will average same they will go to 9 M for sure in the next weeks.

Hello,

I agree Gwen, the writers on SVU were lazy with Stabler. While there were times that I thought Stabler's rage was justified and true to character, there were numerous times where it seemed way overdone. As you stated, would have been nice to see him grow. So sad that Chris is no longer on the show. I would have loved seeing Chris and TR on the screen together. MAGIC!

THANK YOU!!!!

Ron's Band has a tour Manager, but I run his personal office. I am very busy, but I feel like homeschooling Madison was our best decision. The Band's touring schedule is winding down, which willl eleviate some pressure and stress and give me 'some' free time.

How is your Mom Gwen?

OMG - ME TOO!!

I haven't had a chance to watch GA yet. There was a time when I would't have missed the SP. Truly I almost forgot and really didn't care this Season. SAD.

Horges

to Marie. Nice to see you back. I'mglad you enjoyed Chicago. Have you seen the Mirror Beans ?That sculpture is amazing!


Angie, Congratulations on Maddie being chosen as Cinderella.

Thanks, Guys!
There I lost by 1 point where in the last question was how do I shut down (turn off) my computer apparently the correct answer was StartMenu- STOP-STOP- OK. I left out an other STOP.

It was an operating systems exam and I have an word processing exam on Monday . Please cross your fingers for me!

Wow, I love these kind of recognitions/compliments to our TR.


.

Sweet, they're together always if they're in the same City.
Lol, Bernadette Peters appeared for one episode on GA. I think TR and Katie have been appeared as supporters of Bernadette.

I love those tweets that T.R. and Katie's relationship is about.


Lol, yes, the tattoo, this disturbed me.
Accordingly may have nothing to do with our theory that they were identical twins.

SVU COUNTDOWN: 18 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS

to Ang. Managing his personal office is plenty of work and I have to give you kudos for that and raising Maddi.

Ang, I have another family crisis that I'd rather not discuss here. You can read it on FB. My mom is still weak and sick from pneumonia.

to Wala. Sorry that the political situation hasn't gotten better.

Good luck, Berni. LOL about that tiny mistake.

Wow, that's intense. When I was thinking out of state I thought, perhaps, MA or PA but Atlanta is quite far and could only imagine the other states in question. I wonder if it was Rollins who who tipped off the Ledger as she seems rather overzealous. Munch is there!I hope they have quality time. I want to know exactly what Olivia and Amaro discover that exonerates him. Of course, other than a twin. I'm so excited.

It's still so astounding. Who could imagine a day when TR rated better than NBA superstars.!

Wasn't he and Bernadette in a Gypsy of the Year event? They've shared many social affairs together.

That was a pleasant surprise and I've glad she's spending time with him in NYC.

Berni, thanks for the tweet exchange. I actually can picture TR as Elton except he's way cuter than the latter ever was. Elton was quite sad in his early days despite his flamboyant persona and I could TR tapping into that.

Agreed. I understand his rage is justified at times but it's always written as uncontrollable. Just to contrast with Fin he would rough up a suspect a bit and break his sunglasses or be able to extract his DNA legally. Fin was usually smart and sly about his ways and you'd think Elliot could learn but so many times he just flies off the handle. It got so repetitious after so many seasons. There were other wonderful things about him but that was a major flaw.

Yes, despite Elliot's flaws CM did a good job of humanizing him plus his caring for Olivia was touching. I agree I'd love to see him and TR together burn up the screen. I'm tired of cops and perps so I'm envisioning Chris as a bad guy and TR a morally ambivalent one. For some reason I'm imagining TR as an arms dealer and Chris as his client. There has to be a confrontation.

That's still pretty low considering FOX ran two hours of the X-Factor instead of the anticipated Bones SP. X-Factor didn't have a strong Wednesday debut but did it ever rebound on Thursday.

This is her buzz-generating moment but I do agree with her that Cristina isn't cut out for motherhood and I know all to well that having children unprepared can cause resentment. However, online shipperdom can be fierce and you would expect backlash.

Hey TRlanders.

How did everyone's weekend go?

I just posted some pics from Chicago if anyone is interested (I know Angie saw a bit, but I added 54 more after).

Yesterday, I got to meet this soap actor I love very much and I even got a hug. He had promised to hug everyone of his followers on Twitter, so I had one. I posted the photo and I have the stupidest smile on my face there.

The embarrassing thing is my mom came and wanted a photo. My purse was super heavy as always and as I tried to take the photo, my hand started to shake, which people behind me pointed out. It was the weight of the purse that made my hand shake but I think he thought I was shaking with excitement and he said super nicely It's okay, kill me now!

I still had a great time, he was as amazing as I thought. I can imagine if I ever meet TR, I will be a basket case of nerves.

I didn't watch L&O:SVU much but I always thought Elliot acted like a judgmental prick, I hope nobody kills me for this. Like I said, I didn't watch enough to make an accurate assessment, but the 5 or 6 times I watched, that is what I got from him. He reminded me a bit of Danny in Blue Blood but Danny is tempered by his relationship with his wife and kids and family, so it makes it easier to tolerate his outbursts.

Aww, I wished they did write in Arizona and the others visiting George's grave. I wish we could see the grave again and see it decorated with flowers. I would hate to think of his friends having forgotten George. He was always there for them when they needed him.

I could see Meredith going there. And his mom, Owen and maybe a visiting Izzie.

Ugh this upsets me about TR. I had a friend who recently told me she was glad George was gone because he was whiny. It annoyed me as everyone on Grey has whined time and time over, yet Mer and George, who have been through more heartache than anyone, always seem to be the only ones getting the whiny label when others whine as much or more.

I pointed out how George was always there for others, assumed responsibility for his mistakes and died to save a total stranger, which made him a hero.

George was a bit shy and insecure, so the stuttering was totally in character. The fact they thought he was exactly like George just says how good he is.

And anyone who watched the scenes when his father was dying and after his death would know he had some serious dramatic chops.

This role on SVU is so different that if he wins for this, nobody will be able to say it is because of IW or that he can only play himself.

I liked the Glee premiere, it was fun. I love We've got the beat and It's so unusual. LOL, Carlton was my favorite part of Fresh Prince of Bell air, not Will Smith and I always watch his dancing scenes when I need a pick me up.

I thought Blaine did a pretty sexy, fun version of it.

I like his songs and energy, but I don't like him with Kurt. He just feels like an older brother not his boyfriend. They just don't have romantic chemistry and I did see more with Dave and Kurt.

Like you said, Blaine has more chemistry with Rachel or Santana.

I think Finn was right, New directions is different from The Warblers and I hated they showed Finn as insecure. They always seem to show Finn as this idiotic guy with no plans for the future, jealous of everyone, and I am a bit tired of it.

I actually thought those people Rachel and Kurt went to see were pretty good, and I loved their show, so they were the winners from The Glee project?

I do love the friendships with Rachel and Kurt. I loved that you got to see their insecurities because at times they look a bit too self-assured so it is great to see they have doubts too.

I thought of you when Brittany was rolling in that table. The show always seems to want to make a sex object of the poor girl who plays Brittany, which is a shame as she has actual talent.

I was glad Will threw Santana out. She needs to learn loyalty.

Wow, Ang, you seem extremely busy. I hope things calm down a bit for you.

So Maddie got selected as Cinderella? Aww, she must be so happy. She is going to make the absolute cutest Cinderella.


You must be so proud.

Never saw Cold case so I can't comment on Danny there.

Did they say why Elliot left? I got annoyed at them copying the DSK case in the premiere, so I didn't watch and don't know if they mentioned why he left.

I didn't hear that much good things about the new female detective, and the ratings were low, 7 million.

I just hope the TR episode gets better review than the premiere did.

Ang, I got your PM about AMC on Facebook and PMed you back a long message.

The show was very good the last few weeks. I don't know, Susan Lucci said that, despite reports, she was still negotiating and sounded more positive about it than she used to be. And so did MEK. And you like Ryan, right?

I don't know. Cameron is very hopeful about it all so I am trying to stay positive.

The only thing that scares me is the Internet version won't work in Canada and I won't get to see it.

I am excited about it though because this will be the first time a TV show moves on to the Internet. It's like when soaps went from radio to TV, we would be witnesses to history. I just wish people would stop being so pessimistic about it. They wanted the show saved and now they don't want to watch because they don't want to watch on another medium. If people had not given a chance to a TV back then, the soaps would have died a long time ago.

I love my soaps, so I will watch them wherever I can, and I already watch Australian shows on Youtube so I am used to it.

If the Internet version doesn't come out, then we are left with a Soprano-like cliffhanger of who got shot (if anyone).

Wala, I have a friend who watches Grey and she loves Owen and she thought he was absolutely the best for standing by Cristina and showed how much he loved her. She was thrilled with how supportive he was written, but like you, what happens if one day he gets to resent Cristina for not having kids?

She was angry at Derek for not stepping up to the plate with Mer the way Owen did with Chris.

So Mer lost the baby she wanted to adopt too? Man, Shonda hates Mer.

Aww, so great about Katie and TR hanging out together all the time. The selfish part of me wished we could get photos.

Thanks for the George tweets. It is great people still miss him. Yes, some people didn't get his awesomeness but it seems most do.

To me, George will always be my favorite character and I will always miss him.

Hey Berni, yes I saw the Cloud Gate (aka Silver Bean). I posted about 3 photos of it on Facebook. It is the coolest thing. One photo I got underneath the bean and I took the photo and you see my reflection taking the photo. It is like a mirror. My favorite photo is me with my hands on the bean and you see two of me. It is the coolest statue I have ever seen. You see all the buildings and the people reflected in it.

Of course, I will be sending you positive thoughts for the exam. Let us know how it goes. I am sure you will do fine.

Hmm so serial rapes across several states? Wow, if he is guilty, then he is one serious bad guy, but they say they start to believe him, so is he innocent or is he really guilty but good at manipulating, fooling people?

Cannot wait to see this.

I am thrilled he is getting more attention than all the guest stars, including big NBA stars. I am not surprised though, he is way more interesting.

I am sorry about your mom, Gwen. I will continue to pray for her,

Horges

I like that he is auditioning for a wide range of projects.

SVU COUNTDOWN: 16 DAYS UNTIL TR'S EPISODE AIRS

Congratulations on meeting your favorite soap actor.
I'm sure you look great.

Thanks for the prayers.

Berni, thanks so much for the article. TR is on that list along with Tom Everett Scott and Scott Foley! Not only is a character straight and works for a men's magazine but those two other actors are noted for playing masculine personas. I'm just glad a casting director saw potential in TR. That said in the description the sitcom doesn't sound very appealing nor imaginative.

That's because they're essentially nicer and when they plead their case it's reasonable. I notice when people diva demands or play the complete victim many sympathize with this more. I'm getting sick of that. George had so many more positive attributes and virtues including admitting when he was wrong that to me he was the strongest person,especially among the males.

That was just it none of those critics either paid attention or conveniently omitted it during their screed against his nomination. Much like with the backlash against Chris TR was praised during the airing of his arc but completely slammed when it came to the nod. It was such a crusade it was sad.

IT WOULD BE HUGE IF HE WON! Not only will it delight us, fans, but it would be a signal that all that crap he endured is now water under the bridge and he is officially a formidable acting talent. However, getting the nod is the more difficult part. Unfortunately Emmy voters may have too long a memory and cave so much into critics. As of yet I can't see a reason for a smear campaign and if it's anyone it would be JTF since the critics would prefer Ed O' Neill being the next MF winner as he's straight playing a straight character. However, the fact TR is playing straight might offend some and unleash a concentrated crusade. Since this is one of the "smaller" categories I'm hoping no critic will notice during the voting.

As we've noted it looks so much more promising. Let's hope it gets stronger ratings.

IKR but interesting and talented doesn't always intersect with commerce. The NBA stars have bigger names and it will attract many who don't normally watch SVU. With Elliot gone the network is stressing the quality which I'm happy about.

Elliot had a complex and ultimately loving relationship with his wife and kids. If you didn't see that it's easy to dislike him. Mainly he was written rather inconsistently. For example early in the season he'll be truly empathetic towards a heinous criminal then later be ready to kill a relatively minor one. As I've mentioned once every season Elliot botches a confession by brutalizing the suspect. That gets old. Fin, despite the bad childhood and former undercover work in narcotics and gangs, lost his temper much less and knew how to trick the perps.

When he was written smartly his intensity was off the charts and his interrogations were electric without descending into violence. It was a nice chess game. That would've been a nice scene for TR to play off.

Aside from a possible twin I'm wondering how they can believe him despite the DNA evidence. My other guess is there's something intriguing about the wife not being shown in the previews or the stills but being mentioned prominently. Could she be the rapist and injecting Gabriel's DNA in the victims?


Their whole interaction was just so platonic. There's no real sexual desire on either part and it does make me cringe a little that Kurt is still somewhat in puppy love with him. Dave and Kurt work better on that dynamic because the former is in love with the latter. While Kurt may not have romantic feeling as of yet for Dave he does feel a strong bond for him and that's a better foundation. Their next meeting is suppose to be at a gay bar. I so want to see! Also Max has lost plenty of weight and doesn't have his puffy cheeks anymore.

Blaine is a junior. He went from being a year older than Kurt in the beginning of S2 to being the same age at the end. Now he's a year younger. The funny thing is in S1 Kurt was a sophomore. In S2 he was retconned as a freshman in the past and now a sophomore. At the end of S2 he was a junior. Part of it was because RIB planned Kurt/Sam pairing and the latter was a sophomore. Since that's no longer an issue he went back to his original grade level. It's interesting to note that Dave is also a senior so that may be a hint as to Kurt's future status. However, deep speculation is that when they meet again Dave has dropped out of school. Who knows?



It was so OOC of Finn not to talk back to Jacob Ben-Israel when he made those insulting comments. The writers just let that fly. Finn found himself late last season and it's so weird to regress him yet again. He ended S2 with confidence and now he's just aimless and jealous. Next to Burt Carol is one of the most caring parents and she wouldn't let Finn enter his senior year with no plans for the future.

As for that exchange with Blaine he had so many justifications for it but the writers boiled it down to insecurity.


Only the girl-Lindsay Pearce-is from TGP. Her voice was lovely in some places but she didn't bring much personality to her rendition and she definitely wasn't better than Lea as the story arc implies. She's good for a beginner but Lea so much more sophisticated that I couldn't see why Rachel would really be so intimidated.

Lindsay of the four winners is the best in the acting category though. Alex is the best singer of the four and he hasn't been on yet. Those two were the most talented of the

Yes, and simultaneously showing her borderline mentally-challenged. Also I've noticed Heather's dance routines have become progressively simplified to emphasize the sexual elements. In the 3D movie Harry was amazing. It's hard to describe but from one dance move he pivoted off of Heather and somersaulted in the air. Because of his long legs he can actually dance on the walls for a short period of time and it's incredible to watch. Even Darren's choreography was more intricate and accentuate his performance. It just seems to me Heather is sold as such a sex object.

My other complaint is about the Cheerios at times completely obscuring Darren during his performance to shake their bony butts. Sorry but those cheerleaders are skinny and real ones have more meat, which is yet another bad message. Darren said he wasn't happy with the choice to make the INU dance more the Carlton than Tom Jones. He felt Blaine would identify more with TJ because his performances were in tune with the audiences while Carlton often did his rendition alone or to a small select group. I see his point although I loved his version of the Carlton.

Do you see how it seems the producers are stuck in the 1950s mentality where the guys can't be overtly sexual although their moves are reminiscent of legends like TJ, Elvis, and Freddie Mercury whereas the girls are basically performing softcore porn? To add to the already twisted message it's Santana, Brittany, and the Cheerios who're doing this because the rest of the girls don't have the "right' look.

Beyond that she should learn not to destroy glee club property. Do people not understand how serious that is?

I loved Carlton too and he didn't get enough love from the writers. He was cute, had a nice body, and a shapely rump. Could he ever dance? I'm sad his moves were ridiculed because those were great. Will was good for laughs and a drink but I would've dated Carlton. In honor of him:
