ATWT video clip update: We love a man in uniform.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but Sgt. Riley is indeed CUTE!  I'm happy to hear he'll be staying around for awhile.

I really liked the guy who played Adam a few years ago when he was just starting college. Very likable, and cute as well.  I was not happy when they shipped him off to California or somewhere.  I also recall that he was apparently killed and buried a couple of years ago, but somehow wasn't dead and crawled out of the grave.  (I was watching sporadically at the time.) 

Someone speculated that Sgt. Riley could actually be Adam with plastic surgery, but that seems a bit far-fetched.  I hope they give him something interesting to do.

Noah's brother anyone??

Col Klink's long lost love child???

I really loved the episode today. I loved the way the memorial service was shot and the starkness of the scenes with Margo and Thom

I was actually glad there wasn't a ton of folks there because I feel like that is very realistic.  If he was as evil as folks say, I could totally see Margo not wanting to have a parade of peopel wronged by Adam at the funeral.  I don't know the other characters beyond who's been on screen since summer 2007 so I don't have the whole background but this service felt right.   

Sometime folks just want to have an intimate, quiet thing when it comes to death.  I thought it was perfect.

I loved the graceful way Van and Jake move around each other a in this episode.  It was like their movements were choreographed.

Jakes hair was 87 kinds of awesome.  Fully with slight curls.  So much better than the military hair he used to rock.

The new storyline sounds like something that not only makes sense but could be really moving to watch.

I've always thought Noah needs to crack open some of that hurt and dissapointment and anger and shame regarding his father and try to make peace with his past and the ramifications of both of his parents actions. Just talking about his father makes him so tense and sputtery.  

I don't think the trauma of everything that has happened to Noah since he made it to Oakdale has ever fully been investigated. Not just the Col but with his mother as well.

I thought Luke's suggestion was a perfect one. Could be a painful but cathartic experience to deal with his father demons. 

I love how passionate Noah is about film and the fact that the writers are remembering that he exists to do more than just follow Luke around and exist in Luke's orbit.

Riley intrigues me. I'm kind of hoping he's related to Noah and really hoping he's not evil (or Adam in disguise or some crazy thing)

Overall I was pleased . Even Ally and Casey were tolerable as a couple.
Excited to see what happens next.
