[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 178164, member: 8"] Oops. No, at that time the standard was season 11, one of my favourites. It's not that I totally dislike the storylines of season 12, they're not my favourites but not everything can be the best. But it felt kinda lazy, like Danny who [I]hopes[/I] he killed Gary, Valene's accident-turns-brain virus, and Claudia and Anne's rivalry wasn't exactly dynamite, even if there hadn't been any thought bubbles. Thankfully, everything changed in season 13 (and the last episodes of S12), the Tidal Wave Energy felt like old-school Knots because it was such a very Gary thing to do. And the show's always had a flair for all things "eco". As far as I'm concerned it doesn't even work in sitcoms. As you pointed out, a thought is almost never a sort of communication with full sentences. Of course it's perfectly acceptable, necessary even, in comic strips. And that's why I like the ambiguity of Blake and Alexis' past. At the end of the series' run I was still none the wiser. Only [I]they[/I] know what [I]really[/I] happened. [/QUOTE]
