Additional Comments: I loved today's show with the spectral visitations and truth-telling. There's so much hemming and hawing on soaps as a way to put off big reveals, so I enjoyed watching the various parties "lay it on the line," so to speak. This is the first we've seen of Marty/John with SH in the role and I liked it. As a Gigi/Rex fan, I was over the moon with their declarations of love -- but I do hate the fact that (as I predicted) Brody might be turning sneaky. Frankly, there's enough legit drama is this situation for everyone to be on the up and up without resorting to DNA switcheroos. Think about it: Shane has gone his whole life believing Brody is his dad and Brody is willing to be a dad -- just because Rex is the bio dad, doesn't negate Shane or Brody's feelings? Let's play that story -- not more lies and conniving. When Brody told Shane that just because Gigi and Rex might get together doesn't mean he couldn't still be part of Shane's life -- that made sense to me, even given Rex's bio-dad status. I really teared up when Asa told Bo that he and Clint were the best part of his life. I miss Phil Carey.

Message: I'm just glad GG told Rex there was no way they were sleeping together ,thankfully, cause he would have had to take a mighty hot shower to wash off hooker Emma, and it didn't look like he had any plans to go near the bathroom! hahaha.

Message: I loved the John/Marty scenes. I have been waiting to see Marty as her old self and even a dream scene is good enough for now. I can't wait for her to regain her memory. Like others, I also liked the differences between the two dreams. John is warning Marty about Todd and Marty is doing the same for him regarding Blair and by extension Todd. Those were well written scenes. I still don't buy into this great love John and Marty had before she 'died', but those were good scenes.

Message: I loved it, even the Rex-Gigi stuff. Those were great conversations taking place between Bo and Asa, John and Marty in their dreams, and Brody and Shane. I really feel for Shane seeing as how his world is about to be turned upside down. And John and Marty were really moving. A day without any cartoonish action and lots of great dialogue. Best show I've seen in awhile.

I enjoyed the show too. It was nice to see Marty interacting with someone else besides Todd, even if it was in dreams. Like gemini, I liked how she was old Marty in John's dream - the way he remembers her and the way she would be if she hadn't been injured and lost her memory - and in her dream she is as she is now. I like the use of her dream conversation with John to bring out that she is starting to remember little bits and that is giving her doubts about Todd's version of the truth. Because that is what it is - her subconscious mind is saying, "Whoa! What are you doing? You can't trust Todd!" But she's still physically fragile and dependent on Todd so she's refusing to see what her subconscious is telling her. And it was nice to see John's subconscious at work about his savior complex. Dang, if RC keeps this up I might end up like John McBain one day. Nah... But he'll be more bearable.
I love Rex and Gigi and I'm glad that they have been reunited. I know that they have bigger problems - like getting back to the future and Shane - but Gigi seemed to let her relief of finding Rex and her joy at hearing "I love you" overpower her feelings of betrayal about Rex sleeping with Emma. I know why he slept with Emma and he explained that, and I was glad that Gigi broke off a kiss to give him grief about it, but I sure as heck don't want the two of them sleeping together right away. That just gives me the oogies for some reason.
Brody may be scheming but I don't think he'll turn into a rat-fink schemer - you know, the kind that Adrianna became before the wedding. I think his scheming will be more believable and leave him an escape route to remain a viable character. Yeah, that may be me with rose-colored glasses on, but I'm going to believe that until shown otherwise. LOL

I loved the whole episode. The dialogue was right on. I liked how in John's dream, Marty is like old Marty & knows exactly who & what Todd is, warning John about being with Blair & what Todd is going to do. That was so old school Marty & Todd. But yet in Marty's dream, she sees John & tells him Todd's version of the events & John of course can't tell her the truth because it's her dream & she doesn't know that Todd has twisted everything. It was really interesting to watch these 2. I loved that Bo realized & told Asa that he has treated women like garbage his whole life because Asa was afraid of being hurt 1st & Asa not denying & then telling Bo he did what he did for Bo & Clint. I loved every bit of it.
I have one problem though. If Gigi & Rex have sex wouldn't she being really having sex with Bo since Rex is still in Bo's body?
