Real Time Post - July 9th, 2009
Play-by-Play + Commentary
OH PLEASE GOD DON'T TELL ME THEY'RE PUTTING THE KIBOSH ON MOVING IN TOGETHER. Oh, thank God. AAAAWWWW!!! How sweet. <3
Hi, Emma! She's getting awesome lines. And jeez...say it once, say it again: Meg has stupid problems.
Paul, give it up. Get back with Rosanna. Or Emily. ANYONE but Meg.
You know, I like Softie!Damian. I only like edgy men when they're edgy at opportune moments, not when they plan it.
-Commercial Break-
I'm always glad to see Emma. I don't know why; I just like her a lot.
-/Commercial Break-
Damian: Are you insane?!
-Yeah, serisouly. WTH, Dusty?
YAY A KISS!!!!
>.> Mason...*hiss*
Lily's like "Uhhh...awkward!" and jets. Leaving space for me to yell "Go Emma!" She's a good mother. :D She's a nice little injection of sanity in this cluster of spazzes.
Dusty's going to hell in a handbasket, metaphorically. Oh, Damian. Don't do this.
Why wouldn't Meg expect Barbara to be in her own home?
FINALLY Meg grew a backbone with Paul! Yay :D Okay, so I'm betting the big thing today is going to be Paul's suicide-by-explosion.
-Commercial Break-
-/Commercial Break-
Hi Holden! They're so cute together as a family.
Okay, Mason isn't as douchey as I thought. AND He made a Rowling reference with the napkin bit. That's timely.
Way to produce a winner, Barbara.
I love the way Damian just pops in at windows. Is there such a thing as a Cute Creeper? And yay! Damian reports to Meg.
"Pauly boy"...I bet there's a Damian/Paul fic out there that uses that exact phrasing. And Dusty? You should know better than to even try this. It's like everyone in a soap has no observational/logical skills.
-Commercial Break-
-/Commercial Break-
Dude, Dusty, Damian is totally tattling on you right now. (Alitteration!)
Damian/Meg is very sweet, but I think he's reforming more because of Luke than Meg.
(The music playing uses the first couple notes in the special version of "Bring Me to Life")
Uh-oh! I thought Meg would be involved in that explosion.
Hey my post on their future careers? Also very timely. I'm psychic.
Yay! When Damian busts in the door, it just felt like Awesome Sauce. I cannot WAIT for this to happen.
-Commercial Break-
-/Commercial Break-
Hey, I wonder if the demolition guy is going to get paid.
Oh, Jealous!Luke. But glad to see he's not getting terribly upset about not using his script.
The "boyfriend is becoming my father" line was awkward. Van overacted there.
"Something that grabs you the way filmmaking grabs me..." There is so a dirty joke in there.
Barbara is way too overinvolved in Paul's life. She needs to let Paul flounder. I've never really thought she was a great mother. She pales in comparison to Emma.
Okay, so now I don't know which of my predictions is true. Either Meg blows up, or Paul suicides by bomb. Maybe both?
-Commercial Break-
-/Commercial Break-
"Poor Meg. So many men. So little trust." This pretty much sums Meg up.
Yay, Damian/Meg!
Please to let Luke do a Social Work program or something at school.
Barbara, yes Paul can. Stop making excuses for him. You tell her, Emma! You win the Awesome Sauce Award for today.
...oh, wow.
Microchip? Really? :/ Was the "something inside him" supposed to be foreshadowing?
-/Show-
Man, they are really keeping the ball rolling! *Excited* Things are definitely looking up!
IMs sent during show
G (2:18:54 PM): Are you there, kiddo? [...] I just wanted to say: SQUEE!
G (2:19:22 PM): The boys are so cute today!
G (2:19:26 PM): Hehehe
G (2:19:56 PM): PS - Moody Noah is moody
G (2:21:18 PM): Hahaha, way to be inspired Luke
G (2:23:54 PM): Mason: Lucky for you, I am the man to provide the help....in more ways than one! DUNDUNDUN
G (2:24:00 PM): Haha
Honey (2:24:25 PM): Heehee.
Honey (2:25:17 PM): Ahh! Damian pops up in the window.
G (2:25:23 PM): Damian - pot calling the kettle black!
G (2:25:28 PM): LOL
Honey (2:26:47 PM): I'm betting today is going to be suicide-by-explosion for Paul
G (2:27:31 PM): Aw, no
G (2:27:40 PM): I mean, Stupid Paul is stupid, but he doesn't have to die
G (2:27:57 PM): where would all the conflict in Meg's life go then? LOL
G (2:28:19 PM): ya know, I liked her before, but ever since that whole "stop controlling Luke with your money" conversation, she's just been getting on my nerves
G (2:28:34 PM): can the writers please give her a better storyline? Give her something cool to do with her life!
Honey (2:28:42 PM): Seriously!
G (2:28:45 PM): she was barely even a part of the Eliza kidnapping plot!
G (2:28:53 PM): and that dealt directly with her!
G (2:29:43 PM): bah
G(2:30:05 PM): maybe this is just her "in-between" time, till they have a big plotline coming up for her
G (2:30:12 PM): and yay Emma today! it's been a while!
Honey (2:30:52 PM): I know! I'm writing the RT post now and I'm singing her praises
G (2:31:26 PM): and how contrived was the thing with Mason? "Luke's script is crap, but this small drabble you wrote has promise." Um...wut?!
G (2:32:13 PM): I understand why it's being done, but.....ya know, LOL
G (2:32:44 PM): Uhhh....Dusty's leaving a very incriminating voicemail
G (2:33:19 PM): Aw, Damian!
G (2:33:22 PM): <3
G (2:33:29 PM): so glad he's really reforming
G (2:33:41 PM): too bad he had to put Luke through the wringer first
G (2:34:22 PM): "Ciao, Meg" <3 <3 <3
G (2:34:30 PM): I love it when he says Ciao
G (2:34:52 PM): maybe it IS Meg who gets caught! You might be right!
Honey (2:36:10 PM): I thought that person looked too feminine to be Paul
G (2:36:49 PM): aw, poor Luke
G (2:37:22 PM): why couldn't Noah tell Mason he really wanted to shoot Luke's script? Mason is just his advisor, right? It's not like he could fail Noah
G (2:37:41 PM): ultimately, it's Noah's choice what movie he wants to make
G (2:37:49 PM): I know this firsthand from my own film classes!
G (2:38:08 PM): usually the professors give you guidelines, but the content they leave totally up to you!
G (2:38:48 PM): and your advisor usually helps you with picking classes and arranging your schedule, that kind of stuff
Honey (2:39:05 PM): But that wouldn't be DRAMA, would it?
G (2:39:27 PM): No, I mean, I totally get why they're doing what they're doing, but I just think it's funny, because that's not really how it is
G (2:39:39 PM): I love the drama, don't get me wrong
G (2:40:30 PM): but when it comes to artsy things like films, usually the profs just give you guidelines (like shooting MOS or sync-sound, using voice overs, that kind of thing), and you can choose to do whatever you want, content-wise
G (2:41:20 PM): for my senior film project, we had people in the class submit scripts of their own, and the class voted on the one they wanted to shoot
G (2:41:27 PM): the professor had nothing to do with the choice
G (2:41:45 PM): he just gave us the guidelines and let us go for it!
Honey (2:43:12 PM): Apparently he's got veto power here
G (2:44:31 PM): LOL, that's so not how it works in film school! At least, not at [G's alma mater], anyway (thankfully)
G (2:44:58 PM): I mean, yeah, I had profs telling me I needed to revamp things here and there, but I was never so afraid that they had all this power over me
G (2:45:30 PM): LOL. I'm just going off on a tangent. Film is my area and I tend to get super passionate/ridiculous about it
Honey (2:46:44 PM): It's ok
Honey (2:46:54 PM): This convo's going on the real time post, btw
G (2:47:28 PM): oh, boy
[Cut conversation on art]
G (2:49:49 PM): Well, I understand this for the show. Drama = good. And now Luke's thinking about going back to school, yay! But it's just not how the film thing works, at least, in my experience
G (2:51:21 PM): "You shut your mouth, how can you say...I go about things the wrong way..." LOL. Love Damian
Honey (2:51:36 PM): Haha!
G (2:53:12 PM): Aw, Luke. So sacrificing. He's so hurt, but always thinking of Noah first...
G (2:53:23 PM): Noah! Your boyfriend needs you!
G (2:53:30 PM): T_T
G (2:55:25 PM): Uhhh....wow.
Honey (2:55:32 PM): Yeah
G (2:55:33 PM): That was intense
Honey (2:55:38 PM): VERY
G (2:55:49 PM): And Dusty, what's up with you? Even Damian had more common sense!
G (2:56:00 PM): *shakes head*
Honey (2:56:29 PM): Damian's owning the Oakdale Brain recently, apparently
G (2:56:36 PM): Seriously
G (2:56:50 PM): I like it though. I'm glad he's straightening himself out
G (2:57:04 PM): we need more Luke/Damian time, though!
G (2:57:22 PM): Maybe now that Noah's working on his project without Luke, Luke can spend more bonding time with Damian
Honey (2:59:37 PM): I think that's what the spoilers were implying
