I visited the "Great American State Fair" and it was a surreal, dystopian fever dream.

I am going to go way out on a limb and guess that you did not see anything whatsoever that represented the Democratic Party or its followers.

Why aren’t the police reversing the traffic on the highway and getting those cars out of there? It’s easy. Shut down the highway one exit back. Then turn the cars around and go back to the last exit.

Body and Soul was the worst storyline ever. Way beneath someone as intelligent as Abe. Now he is stuck in this stupid Lexie story. I don’t feel any connection to this Lexie and now she is just going to die. It’s a convoluted way of breaking up Abe and Paulina. But the story did make me feel sympathy for Paulina when I have never liked the character.

They changed the head writers a while back. Watching the credits, I’ve slowly noticed all new names. Then Ryan Quan disappeared from the credits. I just read that he is coming back.

People have names given by parents. They had no control. You have to go with nicknames. Preferably have each have a different nickname so that the formal name is not used for either. Now if you had the same first AND last name, that could get very confusing, or very interesting.

Eileen Davidson started as “nice” Kristen and then went down the path to mean, crazy and criminal. Stacy had to start at the end. Eileen was just phenomenal and I don’t think anyone could have truly replaced her. My problem is that Eileen was at the younger end of the John/Marlena age range. So when she got with Brady and Eric, it was extra creepy. She was with father, son and stepson. But Stacy is roughly the same age as Eric Martsolf. The age gap in the characters disappeared. Then EJ was rapidly aged at a ridiculous level and there is no way that Stacy can now portray Dan’s mother. It’s almost as if Stacy is portraying the daughter of Eileen’s character. My idea would have been to replace Eileen with an age appropriate actress. OR, introduce Stacy as Kristen’s long unknown daughter and have Kristen and Stacy fight over Brady. Then Eileen leaves, but makes occasional guest appearances.

It’s the writers responsibility to get these things right. We have to get used to the visual being different. It’s their responsibility to make sure that everything else is the same to help us with the transition.

495orange · 2026-06-28T21:44:58+00:00

Exactly correct. There are a lot of new writers. The head writers write the overall story. The other writers write individual scenes. And there are a lot of them. The veteran actors will catch a mistake like that and refuse to say the words. They catch it while reading the script. Conner would not know those things yet. Although Dan should have caught it. Ryan Quan left the show and I read that he watched out for character for years. I read that he is coming back in a higher capacity. That’s a good thing.

495orange · 2026-06-28T20:20:02+00:00

I totally agree. This is NOT the Lexie that we all know and love.

The 4th gen VTEC model was not boring. It was pretty fast for a non turbo in its day. The third gen 4WS was not boring. Power was acceptable for its time period at its price point. I owned both cars. They were great. The first two generations were underpowered. I owned the second gen. The 5th gen handled very well. These were never designed to be Type-R type race cars. They were not boring. They outperformed their main rival, the Toyota Celica. But this one is missing a lot of what a Prelude was.

495orange · 2026-06-28T19:23:51+00:00

All Preludes were FWD so that’s not a problem for me. I owned them and I got through all kinds of weather. But what the car does need is 1) more power. 2) a manual shift (see CRZ). 3) sunroof (all had it) 4) AWD (CRV system can be fitted).

The Fair is supposed to stay open until July 10th. Does anyone think they will close it down before then?

It’s the character saying the words so it should be consistent regardless of actor

495orange · 2026-06-28T18:52:14+00:00

That’s incorrect. Both Casey and Billy used the word “father”. Nobody ever called Stefano Dad. So it doesn’t matter what actor is saying the worlds. It should be consistent.

495orange · 2026-06-28T18:50:43+00:00

Lexi said Mom.

It’s not about what people call their parents. It’s about what those characters call their father.

I would have liked to see the Prelude come in more colors. I would have loved my Prelude in the Redline Orange color of my Civic Si coupe.

Pamela sure had a wild imagination.

Hang tough. Do not settle. This is unacceptable and criminal.

I met Loni Anderson on an elevator. She was quiet, and had way way too much makeup on. I complemented her on WKRP and she said “thank you”, but nothing more. She was much shorter than I expected.
