Re: Melrose Place -- "Vine" -- 9/29/09
Anyone catch this yet? I know with the glut of shows right now, those of you who are watching may be putting this on the backburner.
Anyways, thought it was an interesting episode.
It was good seeing Jane again. Josie Bissett still looks great. I guess the sweet and caring Jane is long dead and buried. Frankly I don't blame her for the personality change from all the shit her character went through in the original series. Does Jane really think that a bunch of angry e-mails from Sydney about Ella would hold any blackmail leverage against her? I'm no fashion expert, but that dress Jane designed for the actress was horrible.
Again, Katie Cassidy carries every scene she's in. She wears some really sexy dresses into work.
Go Figure that Kelly Carlson would end up being Lauren's new "Madam." Liked how Lauren called to inquire about "Employment opportunities" LOL At least with a Madam she will have protection and will not get her ass beaten up.
I don't blame Jonah for being pissed at Riley for bailing out Violet.
Hopefully Jane sticks around long enough for a confrontation with Michael.

Still don't know all the names but I'll give this a shot...
Really liking this show but the weak parts are starting to stand out. Volet isn't good, David and Auggie drag the show down whenever they're on the screen. Ella is gold and Lauren has an interesting storyline.

I was happy to see Jane too, but she's gone off the deep end. I know that things she went through during the original series tainted her but OMG. This show is already all about blackmail and that's what tired me about the first series. There's no doubt that the return of Amanda will bring more blackmail, and with David having files on all the old and new tenants, I can see this being the cornerstone of the series.
Lauren is a fool. That guy smacking her around and almost being arrested is a gift telling her to get away from that foolishness, and she decides to get into it full-time? The guy that wanted to be in a relationship with her a few episodes back had the means to pay her tuition outright, and this is the road she chooses? The prostitute storyline was done with Sydney in the past, so this is old news anyway. I wonder if the Cristina Yang character had anything to do with the Lauren character being a medical intern and asian?

The show is awful .... trite .... cliche ..... yet, how can I stop watching a show when it has lines like "I don't think anyone's ever offered to destroy an enemy of mine before!"
Please ..... don't tell anyone that I'm watching this.

The actor they have playing David looks absolutely nothing like Michael Mancini. I do a double-take every time they show the Hispanic detective, because HE is who they should have cast as Mancini's son - he is a dead-ringer for Thomas Calabro.
