AMC - Boogie Chillen, Monday - 12-28-09
Robin Coutellier
It's a sad day, indeed when AMC dispenses with so many characters like
used tissue because the AMC production crew is moving to California.
It's even worse that they are getting rid of Ruth and Joe! They are
CORE characters. The show was BUILT around them! Now the only person
left on the show from the original days now will be Susan Lucci. That's
not to say that Ray MacDonnell and Lee Meriwether (aka CatRuth) don't
WANT to retire, necessarily, but it's sad just the same.
David should be smart enough to know that someone in a coma MIGHT
actually be able to HEAR people talking. But nooooo, there he sits,
going on and on about how Kendall and Ryan forgot all about her and
hooked up before she was even cold in her presumed grave. It's TRUE,
but Greenlee doesn't need to know that just yet.
David talks to Nurse Gayle about the past (so everyone can catch up,
because Nurse Gayle should have already known all this stuff), and David
goes on to tell how he found Greenlee, all washed up in her wedding
dress. Then he says: "And I made a promise to her right then and there
that I would do everything in my power to heal her. When she came to,
I'd let her know how she'd been betrayed." So let me get this straight:
David saved Greenlee for the sole purpose of telling her how horribly
she had been betrayed by the man she loves and her best friend? Man,
THAT is COLD!
Ruth STILL hasn't met eBabe? Where the hell has SHE been?
Zach tells Kendall that Erica keeps talking about "that night that we
got stuck in the snow." Hello? It was LAST NIGHT, you time-challenged
IDIOT! You woke up in the car on Christmas day. It IS Christmas day --
you came home in time to spend it with the children!
Why would Tad joke about Krystal burning down the house? She almost DID
burn down the house while under the influence of drugs and David. I
think it's a little soon to JOKE about it.

Thank you for noticing that. I know it's a little thing, but it annoyed me,
too. Ruth and Joe are JR's grandparents (step grandparents via Tad, but
nonetheless they've functioned in the role of grandparents for him since the
day he was born), and they LIVE IN THE SAME TOWN. Are we supposed to infer
that Ruth never makes Sunday dinner, that JR doesn't just pop in to see how
they're doing and whether they need anything? And this is a show that's
always been so strong on family!i I'd really rather there had been an
assumed off-camera introduction and seen Ruth hug her and say "Merry
Christmas, dear," as though they already knew one another.

I'm guessing that a writer who had part in her setting fire to the
house last Christmas morning because Tad was away and she was
distraught, thought that with Tad abandoning her again this Christmas
day it would be a cool thing to remind her of.
Or was that two years ago?

That whole thing was so incredibly jarring that even *I* noticed it!

But the question is: what is the other eye watching?
