OK...Brad calling Parker "little nephew" in that particular situation is just a sore thumb that maybe this shouldn't be happening.

Considering this was taped around 5 weeks ago....when Noah says "You don't have to worry about me going anywhere --- because we're going to be together for a very, VERY long time." - does anyone think Jake was also speaking to the audience? It may have been adlibbed, by Jake, because Van does a little knowing laugh when Jake says it.

Today Show Thoughts:

I Can't Believe They Did That: I knew it would happen and I was hoping the show wouldn't show any of it. But, IMO, they showed too much. OTOH, I get why they are telling the story. It's realistic and happens in a lot of families.

Okay, I Get It, But....: Luke and Noah. Okay, I get why Noah wants to wait. It makes sense. But still.... Well, at least they are talking about it.

Best Couple: Luke and Noah. Completely, and totally adorable together. No question.

Loving Her: Janet. She's making the most sense of everyone. Plus, JP is a great actress.

Cool Heads: Luke could have yelled and created a nasty scene. But he kept himself together and stated his case.

Great Acting, But: JH and MW are wonderful actors. But there is no chemistry here. And I'm glad it's pretty much over.

It's Coming: A Parkerty baby. When Liberty said she was on the pill (which she must've JUST taken) and he didn't need to use a condom, that was a red flag.

Sorry For: Terri Columbino. Didn't she used to be a lead actress on this show?

Overall: B. The Parkerty stuff wasn't as bad as I thought. The Luke/Noah scenes were nice, but I still want them to hit it and soon.

As usual Luke and Noah were adorable;) Noah's sticking around and waiting for his "roommate" was a great idea; he needed to talk things out with Luke before he headed off to work. What always thrills me about these two is their honesty with each other and of course their love and affection. Van and Jake were on target and it was sweet and the kiss was totally there for me.

As to Parker and Liberty-I understood what the show was getting at-teenage sex without the responsibility or love of a committed couple like Luke and Noah can be inappropriate. But even I winced seeing Parker's teenage chest and thinking "Am I watching kiddie porn?" It sort of made me uncomfortable and I'm certain that's what it was supposed to do. But still "yuck". And I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch "Liberty." I'm trying but she's so "Hannah Montana" clone or some other gosh-by golly teenage female of the month.

As for Holden and Carly-Maura and Jon were wonderful. Luke's anger and hostility was underplayed which was great. No screaming, no over-the-top acting-thank you Van. Bravo.

So I only watched the Nuke Scenes and I liked them. Really loved Noah, but I nearly always do, LOL. Luke's line about the farm rules being lame. Very glad he said it because nearly every viewer has been thinking it.

I didn't watch the Parkerty stuff, but really even though their will probably be a baby, their shouldn't be with the morning after pill (which I know is a bit controversial for some people). Especially since Janet seems very adamant about Liberty not getting PG young like her.

Actually come to think of it, with ECs no soap character should have a unexpected baby most of the time.

Obviously Liberty didn't listen to her Doctor. If so, she would've known that you MUST be on for pill for 30 days for it to be effective! :stupid:

Did Parker not use a condom? I was covering my eyes ate the time. :X

No. She gave him one and then said they didn't need to use it.

If not.....another WRONG message for the show to send out. I have no problem with the show using Parker and Liberty to teach the on-summer-vacation-from-classes teen audience the consequenses of Parker and Liberty's mistake.....but I have issue(s) with the way it's being done so far.

They should have NOT spread this over the course of two episodes, by ending with them in bed and continuing the story tomorrow. They should have had it totally within one episode, and had them start facing the consequences within the SAME episode. There is no guarantee that all the teens watching yesterday, will also watch today, to get the message they're trying to send....and those particular young people will have been left with the message that what Parker and Liberty did yesterday was OK, because they won't see the bad stuff start today. BAD idea to split the story up over the course of 2 days, in my opinion.
