let it pass you by, then you would know how incredibly true to life
tonight's episode was. God, I've been waiting forever for something like
this to happen. I agree, that made permanent, this relationship would kill
the show in a big way, but the occassional glimpse of the depth of their
feelings does nothing but create a much more incrdeible scenario if you ask
me. Billy and ally were meant to be. How on earth can you expect them to
never let that show? Love is the most powerful force on earth, and
sometimes you miss it at first. That's all that happened. should they go
on pretending that they feel nothing? what a boring show that would be.
The basis for the show was that Ally loved Billy and always would. Should
the writers just ignore that fact? It seems that most of you have. Go
Billy! True Love overcomes all!!!!

except for one thing - where the hell was Billy's eternal and undying love
when he ran off with (or to, whatever) Georgia?

Ally is not Billy's One.
Billy doesn't have the backbone to be a one.
I thought the most telling moment was when Ally said (pardon for the lack of
accuracy here) that he always felt this way when another man fell for her and
that this would pass as well.
This is wrong, wrong, wrong and I'm so frustrated and upset.
I certainly hope this is all wrapped up for good within the next few episodes.
Argh.

elegant way to extradite Ally and Billy from this mess. When this show
first started, I wondered how long it would take them to start up the
Ally, Billy, Georgia triangle. This could have easily waited for another
season or two. There are so many other plotlines that could be explored
than resorting to this. Personally I find Biscuit and Nell's relationship
more intriguing than the rehash of Ally and Billy being made for each
other.
Needless to say, I'm dissappointed. This only serves to undermine the
credibility of both Ally and Billy. If DEK turns this into a story arc
carrying over to next season, I will be very turned off.

the characters can't go about as if nothing happened. And once introduced,
if it is swept away under the rug, it just becomes annoying to keep bringing
it up again, so it would pretty much be mute from that point on. Or it risk
becoming a soap opera. Like I said in a previous post, I hope DEK knows what he's doing.

yes, love does crazy things to me, so in that sense i am insane. i can
identify with billy's feelings for ally, but the NERVE of him to break her
heart, marry georgia, and now come back whimpering like that makes me
sick. he should pay for his decision and regret it for the rest of this
miserable life.

stuff. What Billy should have done is to reflect on his feelings and the
situation. If he comes to a conclusion that he really loves Ally, he
should have first tell Georgia that he wants to get a divorce. Then, go to
Ally and tell her that she is the one he loves and he is getting a divorce.
The fact that he doesn't want to risk getting turned down by Ally and to
face the possibility of being alone makes him a WIMP. And his using Georgia
as a back-up and entertaining the idea of sleeping with two women makes him
a SLEAZY BASTARD.
And Georgia has a right to be mad at Ally too (although far less than to
Billy). Georgia and Ally have become a sort of friends during past year,
granted they are not the best of friends. Ally should have some
responsibility since 1) she knew Billy was married and 2) she knew she was
kissing Georgia's husband.

Well, it almost *had* to happen. After all, Ally can't be allowed to find
love. It would ruin the tension of the show. Well, perhaps until the
fifth or sixth season.

Let's see...Billy went away to Michigan in part (I believe) because he
didn't want to (or didn't know how?) deal w/ his feelings for Ally.
Sounds like pretending he feels nothing. So far on the show, Ally and
Billy have basically pretended they felt nothing, and the show has
been far from boring, IMHO.

Last season, there were twenty-three episodes; there have only been
fourteen so far. My educated guess is that this is not going to be a
nine-episode-long story arc. Unlike 'Star Trek', 'Ally' does not seem
prone to the 'cliffhanger-over-the-summer' schtick.

: if billy loves ally, he should want her to be happy. this is not it.
look at that. two simple sentences encompassing all that is wrong.
happiness isn't offering back a portion of the heart that you've torn
out. happiness is watching the heart spring back anew, beating whole.
yes. besides, that heart that billy is offering back has all those dang
arteries hanging off. very inconvenient.

him (for years maybe) if Georgia ever leaves him. If Ally picks Billy she is
just asking for trouble and loneliness. Greg seems to be the one for her.
This episode bugged me because 1. he is married 2. he is selfish and she
should be able to see that very clearly and 3. greg - the good guy looks as
if he will be the looser Is this how real life is always? Sometimes women
are smart enough to see through jerks like Billy and sometimes good guys do
get the girl.
My two cents.

Yes, but I've found that a generous supply of newspapers will keep the carpet

Agreed! Some men in real life do what Billy is currently doing: they see that their former
love is moving on and happy with someone else and all of a sudden they "aren't sure" they
want to be with their spouse, significant other, etc.
The real deal here is that Billy doesn't want Ally to move on. I don't doubt that he has
feelings for her, but he married another woman who he claimed he knew was the one within ten
minutes of meeting her. If he doesn't want to be with Georgia anymore, fine. Divorce her.
But don't go behind her back with a former love and start an affair. It isn't fair to
Georgia or to Ally although Ally is a culprit in all of this too.

I guess I am one of the stupid one's. I wanted billy out of denial, so Ally
could tell off his butt. But, if they are meant to be together, then they are
just meant to be together.
