(Friday)
Okay, I did NOT like the cheesy special effect they used at the beginning of the show where Angie, teary-eyed remembers the emotional and dramatic scene where she wept over Jessie at his bedside when he was dying. Then suddenly several things sparkled, but it the flashing/sparkling seemed to emanate from her EYES, making her look like some kind of space-alien shooting lasers out of her eye sockets. That totally RUINED the dramatic effect of the moment! Whose bright idea was THAT? Feh!
You can see the actual clip HERE.
I have to say that, despite the inconsistencies in the writing, I kind of like the CM is portraying Ryan right now. He's not CONSTANTLY (I mean 24/7 compared to pre-amnesia Ryan) "ON". He's not straining with every syllable and breath he takes. He's just ... a guy. His eyes and face are more relaxed than I've EVER seen them, and that includes when he's sleeping or passed out. For once, he's not being so intensely SOAPY. It's a definitely improvement! I might actually LIKE **this** version of Ryan. Alas, I doubt it will last very long. Even if he DOESN'T get his memory back any time soon, the intense "acting" will probably pop up again.
