Okay I LOVE YOU!! I've tried two long posts to try to say how I feel and I should have waited for you to write this! Where the heck have you been? First what spy dancer said is exactly what I was trying to say in my previous two posts...I'm not an educated person cause of personal circumstances I only finished 9th grade...Where I get by is cause I'm street smart and life experiences...So sometimes it takes me longer to say what I want. And sometimes if not always what I want to say gets lost in translation sort of speaking. One of my posts I said we should enjoy the season cause next year we might not have one... I did say that...My brain thought of it but not my heart... You guys know that I am a firm believer in "Anything is possible" I lived last year's campaign to save the show..I myself made a video and send it to CW with 150 fan art and requests to save the show and in the book campaign I didn't just send 1 or 2 I sent 20 books at different times...it takes a lot for me to give up...Once again life's experiences and hard knocks have taught me to be tough..take things day by day ...treat others like you would like to be treated and fight for what you want.. When I said yesterday we should enjoy the show cause we might not have one next year was cause I was losing faith in us..The fans...I would do anything to save this show ...I did last year..But I CAN'T DO IT ALONE..The show needs all of us. So I guess what I'm trying to say is don't change who you are...not everyone is the same... We all have FREE rights to express what we feel, whether we agree with the others views or NOT but we all have one thing in common... which breaks all boundaries... BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! And remember..."Together we can overcome anything" "We are stronger together then we are apart." I Love you all! Hello my friend My husband had surgery on Monday and I worked Tuesday through Thursday 12 hour shifts each day. I tried to write something last night, but I was too tired, and not coherent... And when things get this "upset" I tend to get quiet. It's not anyone's fault, but I don't come here to hate on the show, and even though I understand where people are coming from, and respect other viewpoints, it hurts me to see so much discord in the fandom. I'm trying to weather the storm. I'm sure you understand. I think that as a collective fandom, we are somewhat emotional and reactive, when we actually need to be steadfast and strong. There has never been a more important time to stick together. What I see here scares me. Anyway, I'm trying to spread the positivity. I'm too tired to do anything else. I think you do an excellent job of expressing yourself too by the way! We ARE stronger together than we are apart!!!

I think you do an excellent job of expressing yourself too by the way! We ARE stronger together than we are apart!!! WOW! Sorry to hear about hubby Hope the surgery was for the best. I thought I was stressed nothing compared to how you must be..hubby and work...Well hope he feels better soon Well glad you stopped by...It's always nice to hear what you have to say and in times like these in here it's important to have good vibes and try to put things into prospective in the scheme of things it's honestly just a TV show with fictional characters LOL But like many fictional characters sometimes the way things are portrayed can cause reactions in even the best of us that in some weird way doesn't make sense. We take things personal when in fact the show is to entertain and not take it as some of us do...It's an obsession or guilty pleasure whatever but still it's just a TV show..Look at you and real life, we all have REAL stuff to worry about then who said what and what on a TV show. With that said I'm guilty of this show being 'my obsession' and 'my guilty pleasure' LOL What does that say about me? for you and hubby and TOO!

I was thinking about the END scene with Catherine and Gabe and the REVELATION LOL
My logical mind only has ONE theory as to why that played out that way and with GABE. See the GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER THREAD FOR THAT!

With that said I'm guilty of this show being 'my obsession' and 'my guilty pleasure' LOL What does that say about me? for you and hubby and TOO! Oh he's fine - it was scheduled arthroscopic knee surgery to repair an injury from last year. A good recovery relies on no weight bearing on that leg for 6 weeks, though, so I'm a round the clock nurse right now!! We also bought a new house and renovated our kitchen, plus I started my new job - its been a crazy few months I'm guilty of this show being my obsession too. I'm here all the time, I just don't always post that much. When I have a good theory or thought or strong feelings about something I do, though. I feel like, in general, we can be reactive and jumpy with the Vincent and Catherine stuff, anything about their love lives, past or present. It feels difficult to just sit back and ride the wave/roller coaster (whatever). That is when the diligence and patience part comes in and we have to wait it out and see where they get to with the storyline. My biggest complaint right now might just be the use of JT and Tess. I love both of them - particularly the onscreen chemistry and comic relief with their co-stars. This cast works so well together - where are the scenes with Tess and Catherine? Tess and Vincent? Tess and JT... and you know JT and Vincent of course... We have had a little of Catherine and JT and obviously JT and Gabe are funny together... but I miss the original 4 chemistry from season 1. I mean, no wonder everyone is annoyed with Tess right now, all they have given her to do is badger Gabe about his supposed crush on Catherine. I'm not sure why we are being force fed that particular storyline. Where is the comic relief? I mean give me some funny JT and Vincent scenes. That silent popcorn couch business wasn't enough for me. I haven't forgotten the comic relief that was there in Kidnapped... I want more of THAT. Anyway, I've gone down the rabbit hole. Can't wait for this next episode, though...

Rather than “quoting” another long post or reply to such and cluttering up the thread, I’m just going to come out and state that there may be some confusion regarding what threads are used for spoilers speculations. Directing this at SuzieQ, please no offence meant, but trying to clear up some confusion here. For all of us. I know I can get typing away on a thread and then realize (hopefully before I press “send”!) that I’m in the wrong one. So please this is not meant to be offensive, but as a help. We have spoiler and speculation threads for each episode. ( Mods - please correct me if I am wrong here! Thank you!) Then there are the threads for the episodes that have already aired. The “Canadian” threads were started for those of us who are able to watch the show in Canada or via the Showcase.ca website - prior to the airing of the episode in the United States on CW Monday nights. Gratefully the mods set it up for those of us that have seen the episode in question and want to share our comments, thoughts, questions, with others that have seen it too…. without spoiling the fun for others who have yet to see the episode and do not want any spoilers. We don’t want to ruin it for them if they do not want to know the spoilers, and we don’t want people to ruin it for us too. All around fairness. If people want to speculate in writing and have not yet seen the episode - by all means, post in the appropriate thread for “speculation” or when the show airs, in the thread for that episode. Of course people can post in any thread, and read any if they want too. We’re all trying to promote the show we love. But let's not spoil it for others. Let’s put a full stop to negativity amongst ourselves. I feel this place is like a big family, however dysfunctional each of us may be on our own or in a group ( we’ll just blame the show for that!) Yes, we can comment on things we don’t like of course, but not trying to hijack a thread when someone does not agree with us. We may not all get along, but let’s at least try to be civil. The following is meant to be in fun, but sometimes I think we may turn into such with some of the threads I’ve read: Ya, to post rants about an episode they haven't even seen yet, and not read / listen to comments by those that have seen the episode who are defending what you are ranting about - what is going on. It's getting so negative that really I want to ignore certain threads and just looks for the news and gossip. Do such people act this way about a film they see - "Oh that villain did something bad and because I don't like seeing such a specific action / plot device / thing that can happen in real life - I will rant and rage about the film, writers, actors, plot, story line, fans who like the film. And even if I ignored the remainder of the film, I an entitled to still give my complete ranting critique of it. And force my opinion on others because I have just such a RIGHT to my opinions and like to hear myself being so important." Well that's my take on it. It's a TV show people, as much as we love it and want a real life Vincent of our own, the writers have to keep the plot moving, have drama, suspense, emotion, twists and turns, shocking events. Otherwise we'd just be watching the actors read the phone book. Frankly I'd pay to see Jay Ryan just read the phone book, but I know the studio system cannot live off of me alone. Okay? Let’s all play nice in the sandbox and not throw sand. And if we happen to toss sand and seriously did not intend to do so - well let’s apologize and move on. We have to stick together to promote our show. Cheers! Hello Maria, Thank you for being part of the forum and for your input on what appears has been going on this week on the forum. I just want to clarify some things. Yes, the Canadian Threads are created for Canadians or viewers that have already watched the episode. However, we never mentioned that only Canadians or early viewers can post on there. Every member has the right to post on the threads even if they haven't watched the episode. Spoiler and speculation threads are to speculate about spoilers but on the Canadian threads people are not longer speculating. They're commenting about what happens in the new episode because they have already watched it so is normal for other people to comment about the posts they're reading even if they haven't watched the episode. I understand that lots of you are tired of the negativity that has been shown on the forum lately. Honestly, I don't like it especially with the way the show is doing right now but I'm not going to force people not to say how they feel. If that helps them to vent, that's fine with me. Besides those types of comments are not going to ruin the show for me. I watch it and I decide what I like not what people want me to like. So yea, anyone can post what they feel. I just want you guys to understand that just because someone posts that the episode was horrible doesn't mean that you're not going to like it. For example I wasn't a big fan of the last episode but I just checked the thread and lots of people enjoy it. The things I don't want to see on this forum are members bashing each other, members bashing the actors because of the role they play and members bashing the characters and the writers. Again thank you for all your comments including this one. Like I said post whatever is that you feel. Any questions, please let me know
