Off The Spoiler Train

It’s been several months since I’ve last seen a spoiler on purpose.  It is indeed making my viewing of AMC much better.  The show seems to be improving steadily which of course is a big thing.  I think before when I would read the spoilers it would just fire me up to be upset with the storylines I couldn’t stand but now it’s like the old days before the computer and instant gratification.

The pluses on the show right now are:

1) Dixie’s haunting and subsequent personal journey.
2) Krystal and Tad’s conversation about what happens once Tad finds “Kate” and what it would mean to the 6 year old’s life to have her father claiming her.
3) Babe getting a spine and Richie showing his true colors for the first time to Arabella Carey.
4) JR’s tenderness toward his son.

Downsides:

1) Ryan’s amnesia.  Sure I know he’s had a flash of memory about making love to Annie in the barn but please end this fiasco now!

2) Ryan and Annie’s relationship.  This isn’t working either.  Ryan in general is lost as a character.  Too many attempts to redefine the character.  It started when Ryan returned back in 2003 and has been continuing since then.  Five years later and the character is a wash in Front burner nonsense.  Ryan’s constant front burner scenes have left me scratching my head.
3) Colby and Frankie as a couple.  He’s a doctor and even if they SORAS Colby she’s still in college.  Even with the recast (bummer) Colby still looks like the High School student we all remember her being.
4) The lack of using Josh and Amanda.  These two would be hot together if they were paired.  And instead of seeing these hot and vivacious 20 somethings we are stuck with Ryan’s Amnesia.

I’m hoping things continue to improve and that the ratings rebound as well.  Could TPTB finally actually really get the picture?

Here Endth My Rant!
