All My Children: Goodbye, Kane Family
I normally live-tweet my thoughts during AMC episodes, but since today was all about Erica and her family and since I love them, I thought I'd do a special post through the magic of GIFs.
Griffin knocking JR the eff out. It makes me so happy that my Handsome!Doctor is the one to school that a-hole with his fist.
RESURRECTED!ZACHSLATER IS AWESOME. He drinks beer, wears baseball caps and sneakers, cracks jokes (he was SO proud of "clean...Slater"), speaks in metaphors, makes his wife smile and called her his "angel" and his "saving grace", puts Ryan on the spot for fun, gives great toasts about family, and doesn't try to make out with his sister-in-law's girlfriend. I LOVE HIM.
ERICA KANE. THE LEGEND. THE STAR. THE WOMAN.
The Talking Heads in this episode reminds me of the Season 6 episode of The Facts of Life called "The Interview Show". It was cheesy then and it's cheesy now, but Erica's are touching when she's talking about her daughters. If it was my show, I might throw in the clips that go with her monologues, but I guess they didn't because the former Kendall and Bianca were the ones in the described scenes and it would be weird. And, maybe it's more dramatic just to see Erica speak about it. Everyone else's Talking Heads about Erica did great jobs at breaking some of the tension of the episode and giving us things to laugh about (I, especially, liked Rylee's).
Greenlee's "GOT THE LIST, KENDALL!".
"Bianca, I think, she has some of my best qualities. Strength. Confidence. Perserverance." - Erica Kane
Erica pretty much explained why Bianca is my favorite.
Kendall: What if two Kane Women want different things?
Zach: Duck.
"Two vindictive lesbians"?! Marissa and Bianca are two of the most forgiving and awesome people in Pine Valley.
Every time David Hayward refers to JR as "Junior".
"Marissa was right to keep you away. She and Bianca are TEN TIMES the parents you will ever be! Let me tell you something, Junior...I may be behind bars right now, but you're the real loser in all of this, you know that?" - David Hayward
"All that's missing for him is JR..." GEEZ, MARISSA. WAY TO BE A TOTAL DOWNER.
Is J. Peterman REALLY taking notes with a pen and paper? Isn't he supposed to be some hot-shot movie producer? He should have, at least, be typing on a laptop.
Stalker!JR, oh how I've missed you!
Bianca: I think I want Natalie Portman to play me. Who do you want?
Kendall: I don't know...how about Sarah Jessica Parker? Rosie O'Donnell? I don't know. Barbra Streisand. Sarah Michelle Gellar. Who knows?
Bianca: Sarah Michelle would be good.
Marissa's boots.
"I'm gonna go check the condiments..." BWAH. JACKSON CAN'T GET OUT OF THAT KANE WOMEN FIGHT FAST ENOUGH.
Did Marissa sit on Ian? WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE? Of course, I don't know that little Ian knows what is happening at all because Erica pretty much has to guide him out of the room.
ERICA VERBALLY LASHING JR AND ZACH BEING ALL "THERE'S THE DOOR" thereby accepting Marissa and AJ into their family?
JR's throwin' a temper tantrum and kicking defenseless boxes. He must be REALLY mad that he didn't get an invite to the Kane Family BBQ.
Oh, he's got that gun again. DUDE, JR. IT'S JUST BARBECUE.
Babe showed up outta nowhere, wearing white. YEAH, SHE DEAD. FOR REALSIES.
Only at a Kane Family function are Ryan and Greenlee the LEAST DRAMATIC.
Is it just me or is it weird that Kendall and Bianca are drinking BEER? I'd have them drinking some fancy schmancy drinks.
"It's been a helluva ride and it's far from over." - Zach Slater
When everybody was all "Cheers!" and the camera cut to Greenlee, I randomly though, "that's gotta be weird for Greenlee and Marissa...even though Greenlee's not married to Marissa's dad anymore, they still ended up in the same family". But, then, Ryan also had the sex with Erica not too long ago and Bianca and Zach had a kid, giving Miranda a sister/cousin, so yeah...their whole family is so messed up. I STILL LOVE THEM. I DON'T EVEN CARE.
Yeah, there's a lack of Marissa/Bianca moments in the montage. If I was editing that, I would put their first kiss or them throwing snowballs at each other, but...NOT MY MONTAGE. Loved all the Jack/Erica moments. And, surprisingly, loved all the Rylee stuff. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
"Here's to the Slaters. And the Laverys. And, the Montgomerys. And, the force of nature that is the Kane Women."
Of all the families on All My Children, I want to hang out with this one.
I'm now going to go crawl into a corner in the fetal position and cry a puddle of tears. Excuse me, won't you?
