Yeah, this flick is mostly good. I just don't like the ending much.

I'm trying to finally break the back of my remaining "grading pile", and 
yesterday I may have made some good progress on that. But, as a result, 
I didn't watch much TV. I only got through:

soaps: DOOL - Sloan tells EJ that the baby isn't his, but that it's 
Nicole's with Eric, and at first he doesn't believe her, but by the end 
I think EJ came around and has decided to keep things mum. Meanwhile, 
Nicole seemed to be dreaming of being with Eric. I think Eric and Sloan 
buried the hatchet after EJ left. There were some weird, awkward scenes 
where Jada and Rafe talked about Jordan Ridgeway - are they bringing her 
back?! (I thought she was dead!) Everett (as Everett!) publishes the 
story about Paulina's radioactive antics, and then flirts with dumb 
Stephanie; but later "Bobby" takes over, and he can't get away from 
Stephanie fast enough! and starts hitting on random women at the bar! 
Johnny and Chanel talk about what to do about their potentially 
radiation-damaged potentially "fish baby" fetus.

And that was pretty much it - otherwise I left LMN on in the evening, 
and did some grading.

What did you watch?
