soaps: GH - Mon's ep. Not much actually happened. Carly and Jason talked - she is "*over*" Sonny (let's hope she means it this time!). Nina talked with Ava about selling the hotel to Jason, and Ava betrayed her by letting Nina think that Sonny would approve of the sale (it's the opposite!!). There was a pointless convo between Anna and Jagger. And Lucy tanks on the QVC-like show hosted by Morgan Fairchild so badly that they have to call Sasha back in the save the day - Maxie needs to grow a pair and get rid of Lucy!
    DOOL - Tues' ep. Chanel is missing (I'm still convinced that it'll be due to Clyde Weston); I think Paulina is going to try to break out of captivity (i.e. isolation) to go looking for her. Chad and Xander, as "press", confront EJ after the press conference; then they are all stunned when Stefan shows up after having been released for time served. Then Nicole yells at Stefan for nearly getting Holly killed, and later Stefan continues to (righteously!) coerce EJ! Ava and Harris plan to try to capture Clyde, but I bet he is one step ahead of them.

And that was pretty much it. Otherwise I had LMN on in the background while I did grading.

  Fallout - I binged through the next three episode, "The Ghouls," "The Past," and "The Trap."  There definitely seemed to be some movement in these three episodes as many questions were raised about what is really happening.  No answers!  But many questions!  The thought just occurred to me, but with Michael Emerson in the series has this become Lost 2.0? A couple of times I began to seriously question if the series is actually taking place 200 years after a nuclear war.  Then someone referenced The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) is actually over 200 years old, so I guess it is.  I'm just waiting on the explanation on the other person who he knew personally, who is also walking around and isn't a Ghoul. There were so many lines and hints that implied the Vault dwellers are being lied to about the timeline.  Maybe not about the 200 years later, but they are absolutely being lied to and manipulated about the truth. We just don't know what the "truth" is yet.  Other than the obvious jumping starting society since society clearly jump started without them.  Anyway, just two more episodes to go.

There was something the Vault dwellers were being lied to about in the games, that may be getting hinted at in the show.  Let me know if you want to know what that was.
