[QUOTE="JROG, post: 420199, member: 43"] I've powered through the first 17 episodes of the 7th season. Boy. The first 14-15 episodes or so are just ... something else. NINJAS AT FALCON CREST? Eric turning into a complete jerk out of nowhere, beating the sh*t out of Vickie, and causing a miscarriage? Storylines starting and ending within 2-3 episodes? Endless succession of characters coming and going within two episodes? I've never even seen MIAMI VICE and it reminds even [I]me[/I] of MIAMI VICE Lance losing a SECOND fiance to hospital death and arrested for murder AGAIN? Carlton Travis? Jesus.... You can see the show slowly tanking in the ratings as the weeks go on, and it's no surprise. One of the only positives is the incredible chemistry between Richard and Maggie, and how there's a semblance of thought-out arc and story in the development of their love. Then, suddenly, around the episode of Richard and Maggie's first wedding (which didn't happen), things start feeling a lot more like FALCON CREST again. Carly is actually quite fun (thanks to Hargitay's work). The pace slows down. The "adventure" storylines are stopped. I'm sure I'll regret this, but I even enjoyed the introduction of The Thirteen. It reminds me of the stories of Season 2/3, which is ironic, since the show fought so hard to move past that kind of thing. The "Stormy Weather" episode was at least a little fun, especially Angela listening in on all the doors! Could the show turn things around? [/QUOTE]
