Residents of Oakdale, Illinois: 0, Lakeview Elevator: 3 - Today's Recap, 3/29/10

So, Reid Oliver totally saved a life today (or at least prolonged it), but the Lakeview elevator completely PWNED him. And Craig. And Luke was just along for the ride. :-P

It was a great episode. Even Janet was tolerable. I'm just getting tired of her bringing down Carjack. Why do they all have to be together in every episode they're in? I wish they'd let Carly and Jack alone.

Reid and Luke? I am a Nuke fan (those 2 guys are wonderful together, particularly when they're happy) but Reid and Luke are just something different (and exciting as hell!). I am so anxious to see everything that could (might? will?) happen with this duo and trio (Noah will be in it!). Hopefully, it's done well enough so that I still love all 3 guys at the very end.

Luke jumping up and down? Silly but adorable and only Van Hansis could pull it off. Love that guy.

I agree, it really was a great episode. I enjoyed it very much. :-)

And yeah...Dusty/Janet/Carly/Jack is wearing on me a bit! It's gotten better now that Janet accepted Dusty's proposal and Jack's not getting in their way anymore, but for a while there, that storyline drove me a little bonkers. :-P Hopefully Dusty will be okay! He has to be. :-)

Reid and Luke are different, I agree. I'm also extremely anxious to see how everything's going to play out. I'm hoping that it's going to be told well, too (and they don't pull a Mason-360 attitude adjustment with Reid - oy!). I'm hoping everything will be heart-wrenching but civil and things work out well and feel complete and as they should be.

And I loved Luke jumping up and down! LMAO. Go Van!

Reid: Quick and dirty, just the way I like it.

Just, NO. Though... Okay. So not going there.
Gah, I'm so torn between wanting to see more of Luke/Reid's adorable weirdness, and wanting the boys back together!

Just get this bunch of boys a show of their own, for crying out loud!!!

;)

Quick and dirty, just the way I like it.

Teehee! One could infer that Reid was trying to tell Luke something. :-P The writers totally put that line in on purpose, the dirty birds! :-)

I feel torn, too. I love Luke and Reid's interaction, and I love Reid as a standalone character as well. And at this point in time, I had been feeling like the boys both needed a break, but always with the hope that they would make it back to one another soon after. I have a feeling that it won't happen till Noah gets his eyesight back, though...and who knows when that will be. I miss Sweet!Noah so much!

Ooh! Nuke spinoff! I'm down with that! :-D

I agree that they're not getting back together until Noah gets his eyesight back, and I'm cool with that. That is, if they're going to give it back to him before next fall. I miss Noah too, but not only the sweet parts... it's more about his 'wholeness' as a character, something that's been missing lately, and that I hope we can have back when things with Luke&Reid kick in.
I'm not that confident it's going to happen, though... the writers are simply not capable of turning such a potential of opportunities into a good storyline. So let's just delve into Luke/Reid's interaction (while a part of us screams: that's Noah's place, you stupid, doctor!jerk. ha!) and hope for the best.

Writers - Please, please, have Noah grow a frigging pair and let the green-eyed monster out of him! This break-up is much needed, but let's make it a bit more angsty and interesting, shall we??

[And they totally did that on purpose. Totally. Aaah. Just get to it, dammit! ;o)]
