[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 106584"] Oh yeah I definitely agree with you both about Whitney. They could have done more with her character. But I guess it was all about proving a point and moving on... Okay so tonight it was [B]"The Long and Winding Road"[/B] which of course means that we've finished season six... This episode was brilliant. From rewinding to the point where Ackerman shot his brains out up until the moment when Val sees her babies but they are still out of reach from her, it was all building up to that moment. The big pay off of the season. :clap: The episode kept moving towards the climax of the season in a subtle way as we were moving closer and closer to the conclusion. I remember being shocked when Ackerman blew his brains out the first time I saw it. His act seemed so horrible. Sure he was guilty and would have gone to jail but to kill himself? :( I was also wondering how Karen would manage to find Val's babies now as she'd worked so hard to locate them and now all her work seemed to be for nothing. Then Mack breaking into Ackerman's files. It was hilarous in a way how he had left his ID when he was arrested. He clearly didn't want to alert the press. Ben playing a bagpipe? :omg: I didn't know he was Irish. So that was new to me. Anyway this was one of the funniest scenes of the episode with Ben running away to bail out Mack from jail and not being able to tell Val what was at stake, just that she would be happy. :lol: Then Karen calling. Poor Val sure was confused. :confused: But yeah it was funny... Oh and another funny scene. Greg tries to patch up his relationship with Laura and asks her to marry him. But she's already married she tells him. Then he turns around and the police gives him a ticket and tells him he has a nice car. :laughs: Then as we reach the end, Mack and Ben finally remembers that they visited the Fishers. That visit was so clearly a plantation for things to come. So they head off to find the babies and Karen brings Gary along. Meanwhile Abby finds Val at the beach and lies to her about how she find out the babies are alive. The strained car ride with Abby and Val when Val insists on listening to the country music on the radio and Abby sighs is so hilarious. :rlol: Not to mention Ben and Mack arguing about how to find the house and Mack quipping "You should have let me drive!" :hl: Karen tells Gary "If it wasn't so serious it would be funny" It's like the writer's know they are having a bit of humor tossed in here and it totally works. rotf All the while you are left wondering who will arrive first at the house and if the Fishers will manage to escape. Eventually Mack, Ben, Karen and Gary gets there first and Karen and Mack goes to talk to Sheila. Gary tells Ben "If those were my kids..." They keep throwing us lines like that and the audience knows it's Gary's kids and are just waiting for him to find out! Then Val and Abby arrives on the scene and she tells Gary "Don't ask". Val finally spots her babies and then they drive away and we are left with that freezeframe! The episode closes and a voice tells us it's the last episode of the season... But they don't tell us when Knots Landing will be back and when the fall comes it's not back yet. So I write the TV station that broadcast it. No answer.

If you live in Sweden this is most likely how much of Knots Landing that you have ever seen. Because no TV channel has ever broadcast more as far as I know. But if you are a fan like me you have found a way to watch the rest too... [B]Still imagine being stuck on this cliffhanger for three years? [/B]:eck: That's how long it took until I could see more of the show! :( [/QUOTE]
