I thought for a bit that Gemma was going to getaway. I was quite surprised that Shiv made it across so quickly. Now that she is in New York, how long before she and Bridget run into each other again. I'm disappointed that Bridget didn't start thinking that Shiv was alive or try to find out more about her encounter with Tyler.

I'm still somewhat interested in this show, but I have to admit it becomes more absurd by the week that Andrew doesn't realize it's not actually his wife.  Especially given the fact that he now knows Siobhan has a twin sister.

I don't think it is that strange. Is there any reason why he should want to suspect that it isn't Siobahn? The two of them had been estranged for a number of months. Now they are finally having a nice relationship again. He wants it to be Siobahn and has no reason to look for clues that it isn't. If they had been having a loving relationship and then Bridget came in and was suddenly cold towards him, then he would have a reason to suspect and might be looking for telltale signs.

How is that different from them being estranged and then all of a sudden loving to him?

 

And have you ever met identical twins?  I've met many, and I've never met any that I couldn't pretty easily tell apart after being around at least one of them for like 20 minutes.  Usually in the eyes you can see a difference, and definitely in their personality, particularly the older they get (twins don't age the same).  Yes, they may have been estranged before, but didn't they say they were married for like 6 years?  Estranged or not, he should know her extremely well.

What an episode! I'm shocked and impressed they really killed Gemma.

But we still don't know why Shib is going to such lengths to escape and entangle her sister.

And who is Henry? A lost son?

Henry is Gemma's husband widower, unless I'm missing something in your question? Is he one of the Final Five? tongue.gif

I've got the wrong name. The young child -- probably Shibion's son -- that died for unknown causes, possibly due to Bridget's actions. That's the lynchpin in the twins' strife, and I'm waiting for more backstory.

The difference is that now that they are happy he wants her to be his wife. He dismisses any differences because they are in a good place right now.

Ah okay...I can buy that if you're saying on some level he knows it's not Siobhan.

I think the reveal will be at some point that he is the one who knows what Siobahn is really running from.

I don't even remember the story about a dead kid. It's probably important, but I missed it entirely.

It's not been mentioned for a couple episodes, and then only passingly in flashbacks. It's not been a major story, but my wife and I take it as being very significant.

Andrew did notice the difference betweent the two sisters. In the first episode he commented on Bridget gaining/losing weight (can't remember). Sometimes we see what we want to see, if there are differences. Didn't one sister have a cooking scar on her wrist?

As others have said, I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what drove the sisters apart.

One of the highlights for me is how the screwup sister is becoming the good sister, and how the good sister has become an evil woman.

This show has now setup for potential great twists; could Bridget just completely turn the tables at block Siobhan out of her life?

Is Andrew really a ponzi-scheme running jerk?

Etc.

 

I enjoyed last nights ep which had some real strength to it, but the dialog isn't as sharp as it needs to be.   It's a show with a really interesting potential premise, I just don't know if they flushed out enough episodes ahead; we're going to see as this goes if the twists work or if they fall flat.  I did quite enjoy the dinner party *SMACK*

I knew there was something off with Juliet's situation, but I didn't think it was a three-person conspiracy to defraud her father. Still, I wonder how long she is going to be able to hide her gains and how fast it is going to take her to blow it all.

Meanwhile, I wonder how many clues does Bridget need to figure out that Siobhan isn't dead. And Tyler believed that Siobhan had a brother. More twists and turns ahead, I guess.

I'm very puzzled; it appears that next week we get a big flashback to whatever it was that divided them; but I don't see what Siobahn's play is.. bringing down her husbands company doesn't give her any assets, it just puts the whole thing under government control, she'd get nothing.

What is going on?!?!

 

Juliet's situation never felt right (did she make up the assault, or did it really happen?), but I didn't see this crazy high-school conspiracy happening! (And I expected better of Jason Dohring. I thought he learned better from Veronica Mars ;)

 

What is Siohban doing, destroying Andrew's company but also trying to extricate herself from the pre-nup and get his money?

 

Good, crazy stuff.

Well, we now know where Juliet's evil ideas came from.

 

The storylines are crazy, I'm not sure if they will/can ever really make sense, but still, I enjoyed this weeks ep.   This is one of those shows that if it gets canceled (I keep seeing likely to cancel) I won't be heartbroken, because I don't have any idea of what's going on, but I've enjoyed the setups.   Oh, and a play to put Misha back on CW dial this week was great stuff ;)

To quote the inestimable Amy Farah Fowler: "Kah-razy!"

 

I'm enjoying this latest twistiness. I think I'm losing interest in Nikita, and enjoy the character drama of Ringer more. (But I'm pre-Christmas behind on Revenge.)

Meh.  I saw the teacher conspiracy thing coming a mile away.  Although can't say I saw the mother's involvement until earlier in this last episode, when she suggested Juliet come to Miami with her.  That whole story line just seems out of place and like it's only there to give the show some extra twists.

 

Have to admit there were a few times this episode where I had to stop and think is that Bridget or is that Siobhan?

 

The big reveal of how Bridget was "responsible" for Siobhan's son's death was kind of a let down.

 

One thing I didn't quite get - did Bridget tell Siobhan at the funeral that the dude fell asleep at the wheel?  What was the point in lying about that?

This show is getting way too predictable.  It's to the point where I'm even saying the lines before the actors say them.

I will admit, very disappointed in the Andrew is a bad guy, which may make Siobahn the weird good guy type afterall (except for the murder of a friend etc) or it just makes them all scummy

I'm hoping there's an explanation. I've said all along that I hoped at least Andrew was the good fellow he seems to be, and hopefully he is.

Yes, I hope there a good explanation of what he's done.

Juliet's mother now had 2/3 of the settlement and control through Juliet of the last third. She is a piece of work. It is hard to believe that Carpenter just took the money out in cash. Just how easy is it to cash all those money out without raising any suspicions? The money was "legally" his, so why didn't he try to hid it electronically and made just have a smaller portion in cash?

The IRS tracks deposits in cash over 3000, and all withdraws over 9,999 get reported So, just me, but I'm betting a cash withdrawal of 3.333 million would get some attention. Just a theory.

Apparently, this has almost no chance of being renewed (and then it's goodbye CW for me), so how many are left and do we think the story will be wrapped up by the end of the season?

Yako, it looks like we have seven more eps to go.

Edit: Whoa, the girl is played by Lea Thompson's daughter. I can kind of see that. And for once, a 17-year-old playing a 17-year-old.

Pretty much this and Supernatural are all that's left.  GG is a show that I admit, has had moments in the past but is so damn bad at this point.. I dropped out of Vampire Diaries, so.. I've been recording Nikita though

I despise Supernatural and have no intention of even checking out the new Green Arrow (I think Guggenheim's behind it? No thanks), so this is my last show on the CW as far as I can tell. The others, I've never even seen.
