Next episode.
Here finally are the uploads for last week. Apologies it took so long to get these done but I’m still feeling the dizziness. Still not sure what’s causing it, but I think I’m getting to the point I’m coping with it. Thank the gods there’s no nausea or else I’d be a goner. The rest of the uploads will follow in a series of separate posts. Enjoy.
A little update on what’s going on. I’m beginning to feel a slight bit better than I was earlier in the week. I’m still suffering from the vertigo and have largely been confined to bed for the most part. I see a specialist next week to find out what’s going on. Hopefully they find out because this is a major downer. I get a few moments of relief when I hold my head a certain way. So here’s what’s going to happen over the weekend. I’m going to try to get the screencaps edited by Sunday. It’s very “visual” work and my eyes are still pretty fluttery so it’ll be slow going. I will hope to get the video clips done within that so fingers crossed, hopefully things will be “caught up” by Monday. Again so sorry for no posts or videos but I think I’m allowed a little indulgence in terms of getting my health back, though I don’t want too much of a backlog. So that’s where it is about now.
Just to let you know what’s been happening. I have a really severe case of vertigo. It started Friday night and go worse over the weekend culminating in my having to go to the emergency room on Monday. They’re not sure what’s causing it all they know is I’m having focus issues as well as balance issues. Makes getting to the toilet an interesting adventure. They’ve given me some meds to help with the nausea and a bit with the vertigo, but right now it’s a moment-by-moment thing. So what does this mean gong forward? I’m going to try to work on the screencaps and clips from Friday and today in small bits depending on how I feel. I can’t sit up for long due to the spinning but I’ll try and get things done soon so they don’t pile up. Take care and thanks for your understanding.
Apologies for the extreme lateness of this post. I had a couple of appointments yesterday plus some quality time with my partner. I’m going to ask this one question that so far has remained unanswered: When does Tamara get her own story and drive it? Seems her primary job is to forever be the cheerleader for Julian (William De Vry). She’s also very much a hypocrite. Her first episode back had Kim chastising Sonny (Maurice Benard), openly, for his being a mobster, yet here she is wanting to get together with Julian even though he’s committed crimes of his own. They are:
– Committed various crimes while working for and running the Jerome organization [1988-1990]
– Kidnapped and murdered his sister Olivia [1990]
– Killed Johnathon Paget during a gunfight [1990]
– Operated an online gambling ring and knowingly lured Morgan Corinthos into gambling debt [revealed Aug 2, 2013]
– Shot Vince, a henchman within his organization, and left him to die in the harbor [Sept 16, 2013]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to destroy a shipment that belonged to Sonny Corinthos [Sep 18, 2013]
– Ordered his henchmen to ransack the Corinthos coffee warehouse [revealed Oct 23, 2013]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to kill Morgan Corinthos [Oct 28, 2013]
– Imported and distributed illegal drugs [Apr-May 2014]
– Arrested for drug trafficking [May 21, 2014]
– Shot Mickey Diamond [Jul 29, 2014]
– Arrested on charges of fraud and conspiracy to aid in the wrongful imprisonment of Luke Spencer [Dec 3, 2014]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to kidnap Ric Lansing and hold him in the trunk of a car [Dec 18, 2014]
– Falsely confessed to the murder of Anthony Zacchara and sentenced to Pentonville [Jan 8, 2015; charges dropped Feb 18, 2015]
– Escaped from prison [Jan 29, 2015]
– Shot Johnny Zacchara in the shoulder [Feb 3, 2015]
While Kim may believe in second chances, I’d say she needs to be a little more even in her condemnation of criminality. But then given we see her so little, my feeling is no one cares. Right now Tamara is averaging about seven episodes per month despite the fact she is a proven talent.
