Sonny getting fatally shot was a good start. LOL.
Good new Sonny is dead news. Bad news: not really.
While
I was watching Sonny die, I wondered who makes sure that an actor’s nostrils are
clean during close-ups. The fact that I am thinking about this shows how
compelling I find the episode so far. And we aren't even to the first
commercial. Still maybe it will get better. Luke looks sexy in monk’s
robes. But then Luke looks sexy as a nun, too.
Alexis looks uncomfortable during this whole thing. Watching Alexis be
uncomfortable is making me uncomfortable. I HATE seeing her apologizing for her
lack of domestic skills. Steven Burton makes me laugh. He has Sonny’s slouch
down perfectly. He may not be showing nipples but hey, I am taking whatever
amusement I can get here.
Dawns on me Sonny is going to be in every FREAKING scene. I thought this was
supposed to be FAN fantasy not GUZA fantasy. But then Guza’s true fantasy would
be bending over and handing Sonny a tube of KY.
Why doesn’t anybody look like they are having a good time? The AMC actors were
clearly enjoying their fan fantasy. And some of the OLTL actors were too.
The
Qs. Thank god for Reginald. (BTW where the heck is Letitia?) Realize this would
have been more fun had AJ been shot and had the chance to do everything over.
Hell, it would be more fun if Cook had been shot and had the chance to do every
Thanksgiving over.
And now Sonny is having another pity party. I don’t know how to break it to you
Sonny but if you live long enough, everyone loses people they love.
I don’t hate Sonny. I don’t even loathe Sonny. But as Ronnie said when I was
telling him about this episode, “It was ALL about Sonny? But Sonny is so 1996.”
I guess I had the wrong idea about these fan fantasy episodes. I thought they
were supposed to be different than every day episodes. Characters mixing it up
with different characters (Tad marrying Erica), Characters acting out in ways
fans would love to see them act out (Opal punches Erica), scenes we were
deprived of (Clint and Natalie or in the case of GH, a Sonny/Brenda wedding).
Or, the best thing, seeing characters we don’t see very much. Where were Audrey?
Tony? Mac? Bobbie? Leslie? Mike? (how could there be an all Sonny hour without
his FATHER?) Geesh, I would even have enjoyed seeing Amy.
But this GH episode wasn’t all that different than what we see every day, Sonny
and Sonny’s world. General Mobster.
Bottom line for me, AMC wins. Why? Because the AMC fan fantasy episode reminded
me of everything I like about it. And this GH episode reminded me of everything
I don’t like about it.
