• Loose Lips & Loony Logic

    From Newsgroup: alt.tv.general-hospital

    Surprised to see that no one has commented on last week's episodes.
    Granted, it was a bit on the slow side, at least until the last few days
    when they launched into spring sweeps. I'll do a few posts, and
    hopefully that will inspire some comments. Or not.

    BLQ is making me nuts with her bug-eyed deer in the headlights
    expressions every time someone brings up the subject of Jordan's
    accident. Could she look any more guilty? She's obviously going to open
    and blurt to Cody, who also has a hard time keeping his mouth shut, so
    of course he'll open and blurt to someone else. But first Isaiah will go through some things because...Curtis wants him to.

    Curtis is a lunatic. One thing about PC that is (thankfully) not true of
    RL towns: RL town loonies don't usually have direct access to the mayor
    and aren't able to just drop in any old time to ask that their loony
    conspiracy theories be investigated.

    Curtis's goofy "if A then B" logic: A black SUV scraped the guardrail,
    Isaiah drives a black SUV, therefore Isaiah scraped the guardrail.
    Luckily for the PCPD, all 30,000 black SUVs registered to PC residents
    won't need to be tracked down and examined because Isaiah conveniently
    scraped his SUV on something in the parking garage, which according to
    Curtis is all the evidence a jury will need to find Isaiah guilty and
    sentence him to 30 years hard labor in a Siberian gulag. If Isaiah's
    attorney fails to demand access to the SUV and the parking garage so
    that samples of paint transfer can be taken and presented into evidence,
    that attorney should be fired, sanctioned, and disbarred. JMO. Too
    harsh?

    Cannot wrap my head around JossrCO psycho behavior outing mom to Brennan. Dangerous, was my thought.
    Hard to comment on. And then the expected danger came.

    Not her eyes that betray the lack of acting depth. To me, anyway. It doesnrCOt matter what the emotion, she projects it with mouth wide open and slack jawed. Surprise, anger, bewilderment, happiness. It doesnrCOt matter. Very shallow range.

    And now, she will try to persuade Trina to become a performing musician.

    On target.

    Can't disagree.

    Hopefully that will go nowhere and Trina will come to her senses and
    commit to her art studies after BLQ goes on trial...not only for
    swerving to avoid an erratic driver, bouncing off a guardrail and
    failing to notify the cops of the damage, but worse, for conspiring to
    cover it up after the fact. Or so it would be IRL, anyway.

    Tracy helped her cover it up. That part of the story could be just as interesting.

    Of course. Tracy, the Q family fixer, might end up in the soup with BLQ
    if BLQ can't keep her fat mouth shut. (Hint: She can't.)

    This car crash plot is the most annoying one right now, for me anyway.

    Curtis is one of my least favorite characters, and his behavior in
    connection with the crash are the perfect illustration. Curtis has no
    idea the other driver even knew there was a crash. And Jordan has
    acknowledged that it was completely Jordan's fault when she swerved into
    the other lane while the two of them were acting like teenagers in heat.
    Yet he's been running around town acting like the other driver committed
    a capital offense, while acknowledging the other driver may not even
    have seen the crash. In which case, there would be no crime at all in continuing on their way. It's classic Curtis, being so judgemental of
    everyone else without any real basis.

    And now Curtis has decided that Isaiah could be the other driver,
    because the paint on the guardrail came from a black BMW and Isaiah
    drives a black BMW. Curtis's claim that his suspicion that Isaiah is the
    other driver has nothing to do with Curtis's animosity toward Isaiah
    rang hollow. Of course that would be a factor in the real world, given
    their history, whether Curtis realizes it or not. And now Isaiah has conveniently and coincidentally scratched his BMW in the parking garage. Isaiah's arrest is undoubtedly imminent. Putting aside that leaving the
    scene in NY would be a misdemeanor, Curtis will undoubtedly act like
    it's a crime against humanity.

    And then there is Brook Lyn. She looks so anxious and guilty every time
    any mention is made of the crash. Anyone over the age of twelve should
    have a better poker face. Of course, no one around ever picks up on
    this and won't, at least until she blurts something out as she tends to
    do, or the worst person possible (Lulu or Curtis) overhears her
    confiding in someone.

    ITA!

    He's nuts. He went busting over to Mayor Laura's office with his nutty
    Isaiah drama, hoping to get her to launch an investigation, but
    thankfully, instead of jumping right on it, she tried to make him see
    that he was acting out of personal animosity, little good that it did.

    And now Curtis has decided that Isaiah could be the other driver,
    because the paint on the guardrail came from a black BMW and Isaiah
    drives a black BMW. Curtis's claim that his suspicion that Isaiah is the other driver has nothing to do with Curtis's animosity toward Isaiah
    rang hollow. Of course that would be a factor in the real world, given

    Yes, punishable by death! Curtis is one of the most judgmental
    characters ever on this show. Chase is another, but maybe because he's
    younger, he hasn't yet come close to Curtis's level. Either Curtis still
    has feelings for Portia, or he feels like he owns her because she's
    pregnant with his spawn, or both could be true.

    And then there is Brook Lyn. She looks so anxious and guilty every time
    any mention is made of the crash. Anyone over the age of twelve should
    have a better poker face. Of course, no one around ever picks up on
    this and won't, at least until she blurts something out as she tends to
    do, or the worst person possible (Lulu or Curtis) overhears her
    confiding in someone.

    Yes, and lately that someone has been Baby Phoebe. Since Baby Phoebe can
    only listen and not advise BLQ to cut her losses and go to the police,
    BLQ's confessions to the poor thing will continue and will eventually be overheard by one or both of the resident cops, Dante and Chase. Or if
    not by them, then by junior eavesdroppers Leo and Wiley.
