Well to be honest he has a way with his eyes and facial expressions too, and I wouldn't get too excited...IMO they are totally playing this SO ambiguously so that either side can interpret it anyway they want to. I, for one, was less than pleased with Mr. Manning today. (Although I did love the $5mil. crack he made) -- Let it ALL Hang Out

IMCO Todd was as goofy as ever (all that hopping and jumping around was ridiculous) and TeaUGH??...ACK!!! FL really needs to see an ear, NOSE, and throat specialist. Anyhoo, I was less than impressed and wasn't sure WTF until Todd told her to get out and don't come back <*~~no goof)I know T&B are over (at least for now) but I also know that even if Todd goes off with the hag it will only be because TeaUGH will take him no matter what (still wanting the dick I'm sure), and Blair (had her fair share and TeaUGH's too...LOL) won't!!

[> [> [> [> [> [> Candy, I thought Todd was as goofy as usual in those scenes. But, I loved, loved his expression when he saw Blair had come back. Now that's the kind of look that made me a Todd/T&B fan. ITA, the ONLY reason Todd would ever consider going back to Teugh, is because he can't have Blair. That's all I was hoping for, so, I'm happy...yes I've lowered my standards. LOL -- Aipar, 15:58:46 05/17/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Aipar, Just remember why Todd was with Tea in the first place. It was because he couldn't have Blair. They had that big blow up, and then she went into a coma. The rest is Trollian history. When Todd and Tea left Llanview together two years ago, he had accepted a life of utter misery with her. TeUGH is his punishment when he is a bad boy. -- Lafaux, 08:33:43 05/19/02 Sun

The Troll Stroll spoke volumes of what Todd's mindset was when he was 'with' Teugh. When he is miserable, has lost everything and has NO hope is when he goes to her. I've had NO sympathy for Todd since October. That all changed though the minute Miss ME started lecturing him within minutes of barging into his life unwanted and unwelcomed.

Your couple are the Messiah Mannings (thanks Cabbie) so it follows that all their supporters see would be the GOSPEL truth... while we little devils who perfer the more explosive TnT MUST be spinning.

I'm currently doing a study on the transformation of "opinion" into "fact" via divine light. It's quite fascinating and happens mostly to people who lay eyes on the Messiah Manning Portrait. Some have sworn that angelic visions appear on Blair's face. People who reside in small towns have taken to calling Blair, La Santa Blarina.

What you need to explain to me is not what Lou said, but what I said, since you obviously know what I said, and apparently, what I said is not I thought I said. I said I have seen. I do not look at every single post made by every single T&Ber. I did not even have time yesterday to look at many. I just skimmed most. It is just like a couple weeks ago at MD, when I told Cabbie I have not seen any intellectuall superiority posts on Totally Toddian. I did not deny they existed. I asked her to point them out to me, so I would know what she was talking about.

Obviously, we have two totally different ideas of spin. It appears to me that spin to you means speculation. What I was saying was I saw facts about what he said. The rest is speculation based on fact. Saying he wanted Tea out and assuming he meant that is fact-based speculation. A lot of what I have seen on the side of TnTers is also speculation, not spin(not my definition of spin), but some of it has been spin. To me, "spin" is turning one fact into some other fact through some weird and twisted use of logic. For example, turning "I liked RH's performance today" into "TNT3 will be and Todd does not love Blair." In my definition of spin, that is what spin is. It is not a fact-based specualtion. Sorry, Lou, but you do have to break it down for me, if you really feel the need, on how that is insulting.

You claim that your position was based on fact. You claim that for yourself. I do not. My claim is that my perception of the scenes is as valid as yours and just as apt to be the true one as yours is.

Do you base your perception of the scenes in question entirely on the dialog and completely ignore how the actors portrayed the scene? Surely what we are discussing here is our individual perceptions of how the actors presented the words to US, the audience. That is subjective, open to interpretation and as such neither of us can claim that our perception is the absoulte factual one.

When you claim that YOUR perception was based on fact and mine was based on spin, you intimate that my perceptions are delusional and yours are perfect in every way. THAT is as insulting to me as it is patently false.

As for TnT 3 will be... that is hopeful spin, wishful thinking, whatever you want to call it and I have no problem whatsoever in saying that. I also perceive that Todd is incapable of real love, or if he is capable of feeling that emotion he is emotionally crippled and incapable of demonstrating that in a way that is universally acceptable to most of humanity. T�a threw that in his face yesterday... and she hit the mark...that's how I perceived the scenes.
