2011 episodes begin airing on Bravo in the mornings

It would pique my interest more if they went back to the beginning.

I just watched today’s 2 episodes from the unveiling of the Horton Square. It seemed to have so much potential but we know how it all played out. Wow, they still had much better production and so many more extras on the set. Wasn’t that the time where they built a production stage that could be converted to so many more sets?

Anyway, it was so great seeing Bo, Jack, Austin, Carrie, Sami and EJ again. And, it also made me realize how much more I liked Abigail when Kate Mansi portrayed her.

It was weird seeing someone else as Chad, even though it was the original.
I miss Kate Mansi; I've never been able to warm up to Marci.

Still, I must be very jagged and cynical, because the dialogue and interaction still made me groan. I mean, they're unfailing this big, new public space, but it's predominantly just a small group of people who all know each other. And that was emphasized even more when Austin and Carrie show up, and everyone reacts to them as if they might be the surprise guests; even though their relative public profile in Salem should not be that significant. But it is, because the only people really there are the people who know them. But of course they jump on EJ for attending this supposedly public event, so most of the rest of the people in town probably felt bullied by the Bradys and Hortons too.

Not that EJ was innocent by any means, but boy, for two families who aren't supposed to be elitists, you could sure fool me. Makes me think of the episode of Community, where the audience learns that most of the rest of the students hate the main characters, because they're so self-involved.
