I agree that I think the plot is going to pick up. I know one of the writers and she is a good so I'm hoping that it will get better. I also believe that the old format might have been taking alot out of the writers. To write and give so much time to a blog that is free takes away from their personal lives I bet.

Okay. I think I made a snap judgment. After reading episode three, I'm quite interested to see how some of this plays out. The Joi/Jovan/Krystalyn/Patrick thing has me curious. I'm wondering if all the old characters will come back briefly during homecoming so we'll know at least a little bit about "what they're up to."

I know the result of elections for university president, but how did it happen?

I'll give this latest ATSB incarnation at least two more episodes before I declare it bootleg.

To add one more question:

Did Johanna ever become initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha? At the end of Season 4, she was on line at another campus.

I never heard anything about Johanna

Never heard about Johnna either. So many loose ends to tie up, but I feel we're just getting introduced. Surely if you read about the characters, then you know Mommy Ferguson is full of drama too since she's in a relationship with a fellow Ahpla alum's hubby.

I'm hopeful that a lot will be tied up soon. I like the idea of Homecoming possibly bringing some thing to light If we're devoted enough fans, we could drop a quick line to the author's email address as posted at http://atsbonline.com/contact.htm.

But y'all have to admit that y'all can't wait to hear what Mona is going to say next Thursday.

VERDICT: I'm waiting a few weeks before giving up. It's gotta get good.

one of the last scenes was PJ coming over to Appak Univ to visit Johanna, and on the bus she meets a soror who speaks of their line, and that is where she sees Johanna pledging. They speak but the soap stopped at that point.

you stop! there was an Appak U?! LMAO

jojapeach · #83 05-18-2008, 09:20 PM

I remember Appak U was somewhere out yonder from Ahpla... and Amgis.

lil_sunshine · #84 05-19-2008, 12:53 PM

Yes there is an Appak U. and a few Ahpla students transferred there, including Gwen after breaking up with Calvin. And Jahanna was on line for Alpha Kappa Alpha at Appak. She transferred b/c she couldn't join at Ahpla. She was talking to her brother (I forgot his name) and she was saying how her line sisters were getting on her nerves when PJ comes in to her room saying that she didn't know that pledges could have phone priviileges and promptly hung up the phone.

Also, the Kappa that contracted an STD from Shareesa was Gregg. Towards the end of season 4, Shareesa was dating Ahmad and they broke up b/c she brought him to a social event for her job and lied about what Ahmad did- he was a college student.

As much of an ATSB junkie I am I have yet to read the 1st ep.

I agree with everyone else about the jump in time.

I need to know why Mona was not hanged or something. What the hell is up with Trina/Ronnie/Caryn. I wanna know is Gregg (Kappa) still chasing PJ.

Oh well.....I'm gonna read these eps and come back tomorrow.

All of these new characters......

I like the idea of homecoming wrapping up any loose ends. It's a little bit of a disservice to your fan base to leave EVERYTHING up in the air like that.

I do like the new writer.

I mean, really. Ahpla, Amgis and Appak.

If we find out there is a Agemo College I will quit this soap.

IlovemyAKA · #87 05-22-2008, 01:32 AM

The new one's up. Just when it gets to drama, it's over.

1908Revelations · #88 05-22-2008, 08:03 PM

Taylor (the White girl) nneds to let that man GO!!! He is full of it!

I am waiting for the Fall of Mona. LOL

tld221 · #89 05-25-2008, 03:04 PM

i read this last episode in 45 seconds. im over it. i understand you have to drag a story out, but nothing really happened in the last couple episodes to move the story along.

I thought it was just me at the bolded part. We're still at the Convocation (or whatever). Don't tell me this whole thing will take the first 10 episodes. Plus, we haven't been properly reintroduced to Mona and her antics. Mona should be entertaining us this coming Thursday. I really don't need to be sure to meet all of the characters before drama ensues.

If this was any other random soap, I'd ditch it. Since this is ATSB, I'm really trying to ride this out. The best juice so far is Taylor. Bold enough to be a white woman in a historically black sorority at a HBCU, but she picks the one black man that's not bold enough to embrace her in front of the rest of the world. Just sad...but fun to watch.
