"Don't be the stubborn nitwit that I know you are"

[peggin]

There were so few episodes left by this point, but the genius writers at ATWT decided it was a good idea to waste one of them on the crappy Chris storyline. Reid is in it, but no Luke, and it's really hard to watch this clip without wanting to claw my eyes out, so forgive me if this recap isn't the most fun one ever

My sentiments exactly -- I think how I feel about this storyline can pretty much be summed up with:

[rhiannonhero]

I love Reid. I hate Chris. I just...gah. This last part of the rewatch is really f'ing hard.

[bigboobedcanuck]

Even with transporter technology, it should have taken him longer than that, but this is ATWT after all, so things like the passage of time don't need to actually make sense.

Hee. Seriously, Oakdale is one big transporter room, I think!

The only really good thing about the stupid, frustrating, rage-inducing Chris storyline was that it brought John Dixon back. Love him.

I can't believe how close we are to the end! :(((((

I had such mixed emotions around this time. I was so angry with the direction the show was going, but so thrilled to have John Dixon back in town. He was my favorite character from the old days (which is part of the reason why I loved Reid right off the bat!). I remember seeing a scene later on with Reid, Bob and John all in white lab coats in Chris' room and I longed to have it as an 8x10 autographed by all three actors!! ♥

There was no shortage for the funny in this recap, so thank you. It helped to get over the pain of pounding my head on my desk at the idiocy of the show content!!
John seems delighted to see him (he must not know Chris very well)
Loved this line!

Poor Luke! He's not even in this episode, and he's still getting cockblocked!Awww, that poor kid. As much as I adore John Dixon, I think I would trade in his guest appearances at the end to have Luke and Reid just have ONE night of sex. Even just implied

Ah, we only have 3 more episodes to recap. We're ending it with the ILU, and not going even a tiny bit further. None of us want to watch that ending again. I'm sure you understand.

[snapegirlusa]

Yes, I completely understand. It was hard enough the first time around. I seriously don't want to put myself back into that mind frame again. Such a waste of amazing characters and story potential.

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful laughs over the recaps. It was lovely to revisit why we love these two so much. ♥

I think I remember an interview where Eric was very impressed when taping that scene with her.

Yep, in the interview on Kate Davies' blog, he called that one of his favorite scenes, and talked about how she left handprints on his chest from whaling on him so hard.

I remember being jealous that she got to see his bare chest when he lifted up his shirt to show her the marks after the scene was over. :)

What I like about this episode is that the truth is getting out about Chris's condition so Reid can stop the hiding and secret-keeping.

I don't like people berating Reid but in this case, I'm glad for how Dr. Dixon questions and confronts Reid. Reid has known how ridiculous it was to keep Chris's condition a secret but I think now he knows just exactly how important it is to get Chris help too, secrets be damned. FINALLY!

Katie's rage at Reid is understandable but she needs to know it ain't Reid's fault. Her boyfriend was the one keeping her in the dark.

Poor Luke! He's not even in this episode, and he's still getting cockblocked!
HA HA. So true.

And Chris still sucks.
