I liked the pace and story of the episode, so glad there was no stupid crime of the week! But the way the writers handled V's choosing Alex (and not having him realize his error and choose Cat before A knew the truth) has ruined the so called epic love for me. Was it really so epic if he was willing to run off with Alex? The writers made a terrible mistake by making Cat his second choice and even if he makes it up to her and proves he loves her, it has been soiled. By C's words from another episode, she will never be able to forget that, forgive, yes, but forget -no. I am not sure she can ever fully trust him again after this. I know I could not and with C's issues, how can she. She wants to, but doubt she will. I will watch the next couple episodes to see if the writers can somehow recover after this epic mistake, but honestly not sure I can continue watching this show as the epic love was the draw and that is now dead. I hope I am wrong. Wow! I so totally agree with you. I can't say how much I really hated Seeing Red and On Thin Ice. I almost bought an iTunes season pass a few weeks ago, but decided not to b/c I will NEVER EVER watch those two eps again. Last week I was just plain disappointed, and really detatched about the show b/c it was the love story that I really, really liked. And Vincent WAS such a troubled, but likeable, hero. Not anymore.... This weeks ep was better because the healing (in term of VinCat) has begun, but you're so right - that epic love, that magic, is gone for me. If it was soooooo epic, Vincent COULDN'T have treated Cat the way he did. And now to make her 2nd choice? Even in the sneak peek, he just doesn;t seem as upset as he should that the love of his life keeps giving him the cold shoulder. He should be friggin' desperate to win her back! Not just "I'll just have to win back her trust". Really? Really really? No $hit Sherlock. I just don't know how the story will recover. Ratings fell this week too - so I guess that's folks not watching b/c they just don't like this Alex arc AND I'd be willing to bet they just don't like or believe the new Vincent. Gah - we'll see what the next few weeks will bring... Looks good, but there will need to be some HUGE grovelling to be believable if he wins her back so easily..

Just found this: "Brian Peterson is teasing that some UNINTERRUPTED Vincent-Cat kissing will happen." I suppose with this....it's a 50/50 shot that it's this episode vs another. YAY!!

Wow! what IS it with all the spoiler stuff today. Usually it comes in dribbs and drabs throughout the week. Must be for February sweeps..... Cool though. I wanna know WHO IS GOING TO DIE? ? Claire? But she already knows too much, so it wouldn't be her. Thoughts? Alex? Really?

Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that Muirfield convinces Alex that they've got a cure for Vince, and that she can still have her fairy tale ending....and that she just needs to incapacitate him so they can take him in. Either that or the shot with the needle was to juice herself up, but there is also an image of Vincent looking drugged.... ohhhh - now THAT's juicy drama!
I still contend that they could have done all this without Vincent being soooooo much of an ass to Cat. Just too over the top IMO. Too far to backtrack and make up for, especially if she pretty much forgives him by the end of the next episode... which they just might do b/c there's a spoiler about Heather interrupting a dinner in the episode after (any means possible?)....
All water under the bridge now though (Thank goodness!).
Next Thursday will take FOREVER to get here!!!!

Looks like she's saying "friends" to me... Yes, it's cliche, but when has this show NOT been? The kiss.... I know we all keep saying that it'll probably be interrupted, but remember, this was SUPOSSED to be the final ep if they didn't get picked up (CW originally ordered 13 eps). So, unless they did a re-write, IMO its very possible that we'll finally see that kiss. Probably Vincent trying to convince her that they're not "just friends" b/c she's still hurt (rightly so - he WAS an ass- i can say that b/c he's said it himself) and still trying to keep her distance.... As one of the other Beasties postulated, I would love to see it play out where Alex now realizes that she does indeed love him, can indeed accept his "dark side", and still wants to run away with him. But he turns her away b/c he loves someone else..... and Cat overhears all, of course. Oh, that would be sweet redemption indeed! Personally, some serious redemption is required here. There is no excuse for Vincent's callous behaviour towards Cat over the past few eps, so I think that MORE than grovelling is required. He pretty much needs to come clean to Alex IN FRONT OF CAT what his feelings for Cat are. He HURT the hell out of Cat, so its Alex's turn to feel the sting of rejection. Then, and only then, will my universal scale of justice be righted again! So happy that this week's ep was so much better.... sooooo looking forward to next week. I hope the magic is back by the end .

Other than the "second choice" issue, it was a FANTASTIC episode. So much happened!!! I wish he would have picked Cat BEFORE Alex saw the Beast though. Even if he has to grovel to win her back, their relationship is now somehow tarnished, and not as special as it first was. I definitely liked it, but, I don't know.... its still not the same. Oh well..... at least its no where near the last couple of weeks

Looks like Claire holding the gun is in Alex's apartment.... so Muirfield goes after her either to "clean up" or lure Vincent out....

OMG! I just noticed that one of the major Canadian networks is showing BATB tonight! Usually its only on Showcase.... if GlobalTV picks it up for the rest of the season, that's gotta be a good sign for a potential Season 2!!!
Woo Hoo!!!

Producer's Preview - Ugh - I wonder at what point Vincent will STOP being a jerk! In the clips he's acting like he and Cat had NOTHING together at all. I just keep hoping that things will get better by the end of this episode. I really am tired of this S/L as IMO they wrote it wrong and dragged it out too long. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see what happens, but am PO'd that I'm going to have to sit thru at least a half hour of more of this unwanted drama (drama is good, just not this S/L) before things start getting better.....
I hope Cat really kicks him to the curb after all of this crap! She's obviously been deeply hurt over his callous attitude toward her, so he needs to pay, pay, pay and grovel, and kiss her feet and pull out EVERY SINGLE ROMANTIC stop to win her back.

One more day Beasties! I have to say that I'm finally getting excited about tomorrow's ep. Ever since On Thin Ice aired, I've been almost completely detached from the show. I mean, it's just a TV show, and this is how i usually am with any of the shows that I watch, except BATB. But I've been so enthralled with BATB since October that it almost feels weird to not really care, and not think about it or obsess about it for 24-7. Anyone else felt this way this past week? I mean, I think I was just tired of all the unnecessary BS drama with Alex, as opposed to (IMO) good drama. I'm really hoping that something MONUMENTAL happens tomorrow to bring back that "lovin' feelin'" for the show. I'm excited b/c I'm assuming (like everyone else, I think) that the healing will begin tomorrow and the show will go back to what we all fell in love with.... Then we'll all be one big happy family again .

One thing that really bugged me is that yes Vincent wants his old life back, but is acting very much like a normal guy around Alex (which is part of the draw). For example, walking around with her in the middle of the day, showing up at her front door (in the middle of the day), etc etc yet he STILL skulks around with Cat. He still showed up on her balcony..... if its OK to use Alex's front door, whats wrong with Cat's (other than the smack down she might give you for being so stupid/carelss)?
