Are you confused?

Last night, I swore it was a dream (at least some of it)



Today, I think it all happened.

Of course, I'm talking about the series NIGHT SHIFT.

After thinking on it, I like that it happened. I think it deepened most of the characters involved (Patrick probably took the biggest hit) but certainly Robin, Spin and Jason are the better for it. I've really come around to the thought that this troubled girl was Spin's first sexual experience, and he really got to her.

I like it.

Of course, Jason was the hero of the shootout, but Spin had his moments, certainly Robin did.

Jolene jumped in front of a bullet meant for Spinelli, and she is now in an apparent irreversable coma.







Today's show verified that it was real. (at least, I got that impression) Leo was shot. Kelly had her sex problem. Lainey/Cody were plotting to allow Jolene take the blame so he wouldn't go down for her pulling the plug on her father. Spin was wondering why Jolene was willing to die to save him.

As for the part of the show that isn't so HUH? Carly took Spin by the hand today and offered him junk food. Of course, we know this means trouble.

Smartly, Spin ran straight to Sonny. Mr. Corinthos sir, Valkyrie, Valkyrie, etc. etc. Sonny told him to say "CARLY". Spin managed to spit it out.. C-C-C--Carly. ha!!

self destruction and serial killers

Thoughts on GH..

Jason and Spin continue to grow closer. You know, one of the reasons I quit watching for six years is because I couldn't STAND Jason. Now? I love him. All because of Spinny. They are truly a male supercouple.

Not sure what to think of newbie danger boy Johnny, yet. He seems pretty campy now, but he hasn't spoken yet. Looks like he and Lulu might be playing tag or hide and seek, while everyone thinks she's in danger. It wouldn't surprise me.

Self destruction.

I think that Lulu is not that far apart from Maxie. She's acting out and self destructing. Spin, Georgie (and apparently Coop) are the type who want to save people, and some people just don't want to be saved, no matter how hard you try. I guess Carly is a good example, as Jason has pointed out. They have to want to stop the self destructive behavior on their own.

I am not loving the way Spin throws himself in front of dangerous people when his loved ones are in peril. Don't try this at home--this is NOT safe behavior..



Jason's little buddy is going to get himself hurt someday, that's a given. I just feel that unless it's the end of BA's contract, Spin is too popular to die, so I am not fretting about good Emmy bait material for Steve, Brad and possibly Julie.

I'm really REALLY having a hard time with the Logan character. Recently Frons has said that Logan/Lulu are a "supercouple". So why is Logan continuously bullying women and people smaller than himself? **Shudders** Yes, Maxie was cruel to do what she did to Lulu, but Logan has no business shoving her around. He makes me think he might be the serial killer. :-/

That said, obviously, I'm a hypocrite because I am cheering on Nikolas for choking characters I don't like. (at least we know something is horribly wrong with him and it's not LIKE him)



On to NIGHT SHIFT and serial killers..

Last night's show was both heartbreaking and hilarious. To sum it up, Spin thought he was addicted to sex, and went first to poor Toussaint (Billy Dee had the look of bewilderment) and then Jason, who may have been slightly horrified. (I..I gotta get back to work!!!)

The first thing Jason thought of was that Kelly(who has sex with everyone and takes off her clothes in the middle of the hospital lobby) had put the moves on Spin. There is really no describing that scene where Spin gave TMI about his fantasies or the looks on Jason's face. Jason has yet to master talk of the "birds and the bees".



After she shattered his pitiful heart in tiny peices, what was Jolene crying about at the end when she looked at Spin? Call me crazed, but I wanted her to realize she loves him. It's sad, I want someone to love him back-- even if it's a serial killer.

But seriously? Jason loves Spin. (See Rene's post below)--> Georgie also loves him, or at least has potential too.

I admit, I am die hard Spinlu fan, but even if I wasn't, I would be a bit afraid to get attached to Georgie with Spin. Three month contract? What is that? It worries me about her character. I hope Spin is not one of those characters with the Cartwright syndrome. (when Hoss, Little Joe, Ben or Adam loved someone, they either suddenly died, left town, became evil, or the girl went off with some other guy)

"Falling Star" (Night Shift)

LOL, I was hoping Penny would be back for this one. :/

I guess we need to talk about the large elephant in the room..

On NIGHT SHIFT, the racier AU GH, our sweet, innocent Spin had sex with the serial killer last night. Spin thinks she likes him, while Jolene is actually using sex to divert him from finding out she's a murdering nutcase..







We knew sooner or later, our Spin would lose his virginity. Most were hoping for it to be someone who might love him, like Georgie or Lulu. I also think most expected Spin's first time to be awkward and poignant, since more times than not that's how first time sex is. So, (if you want to discuss) how do you feel that this awful girl who obviously finds him repulsive, was his first? Can you seperate the two shows? Does it ruin the story for you on the mother show?

On one hand, I can see the point that this somehow spoiled the fun, (obviously Robin/Patrick fans are having a really hard time right now) and it's hard to seperate the shows when they play the same characters. (I'm really hoping Guza does have an explanation at the end, whether dream or whatever)

OTOH, I love Cody/Lainey and Maxie/Dr. Julian.. Love Regina, Jason/Robin's closeness, etc. Would love that these characters/situations brought to the main show after NS was over. Actually NS can be a far more entertaining show than GH. I prefer the character driven to plot driven, and NS definitely has that going for it. Right now, it's really my favorite of the two shows.

Night Shift: There is something so wierd about someone who would talk and act so strangely

The jackal in scrubs.

I watched Night Shift late last night. If things are running a bit slower on the site then normal I been really busy. I started a job this past week. I am just a wee bit later then i normally was.

The Jackal has a fear of clowns

I liked this episode. It was a bit odd but I found it interesting and the writing to me seemed to have smoothed out a bit. Spinelli was so funny. We found out our boy has a fear of clowns and remarkably he did something special and faced those fears.

Maxie conditioned worsened and we had a our first peak of Gerogie on Night Shift.
They where really cute.. Night Shift G-Spin was so fair more appealing Night Shift Spinlu.

Spinelli was sweet comforting Georgie. He seems to say the right thing may times. Then the Jackal faced his fears and chearing up the 'sad' clown. It was such a sweet selfless act.

Spinelli embracing his inner clown.

Night Shift: Power to the peons!!

The 4th Episode of Night Shift was on last night. I LOVED LOVED Spinelli in this. He was funny and showed off how sweet he is too.

Spinelli arrived at the hospital to fill in for Jason because he had "business". (maybe he was doing a tour for the "Saga of Stone Cold") He even arrived with "Jason" hair. So this was a Jason free episode. While the I missed that interaction is was great to see Spinelli interact with others on the show.

I don't think some people are meant for this kind of work.

Spinelli tried to show support for the 'strike' going on. Power to the Peons.

At the very end Spinelli has a sweet conversation with Nurse Jolene. She was missing her father. He said all the right things and comforted her....

And was reward for his kindness....

Night Shift: Mr Jackal

Ok I loved it when Jolene called Spinelli "Mr Jackal" I just got such a kick out of it. What was up with Lulu? She seemed to be a bit.. like umm something was stuck in an uncomfortable place or something.

Well Lulu went with Spinelli to the ER for an unnecessary check up at the his request. His plan was to make Nurse Jolene impressed about having the Lulu as his girlfriend (I think).

the Jackal transforms 'fine' to 'not fine' when he spots the "angel of mercy".

Jolene and Spinelli have a sweet momment where she tells him that she knows what he needs and presents him with BBQ chips & Orange Soda. She get some major points from me for that. She did reject the Jackal's offer for attending the tech expo with him. So it was a wash. (Spinelli I would go with you)

She's the coolest!

Then we are treated with a cute scene with Jason and Spinelli. Like all Jason and Spinelli scenes it is full of great fun and moments.

Now that we are now done with episode three let me give you my thoughts less far on the serise as a whole. Yes it has unrealistic storylines and sometimes poor dialog but as I was watching this episode my face hurt from smiling so much. I don't get that from GH right now. I do prefer GH Spinelli slightly over NS Spinelli but I am enjoying the show.
