Episode 105 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 105:

Will Nick's computer memory be upgraded?

I admit to having gotten quite a kick out of the confused nature of the whole scene with Nick having to go in to "back up the computers", as if that was something that senior execs do. Further, data does survive power outage, so the stuff he was ranting about them losing data if the machines go down was pretty random. I'd be curious to know just what he was doing there in the way of backups. It was all very silly. Entertaining even. But perhaps not for the reasons it was intended to be.

Will Michael's encounters with Victor end up mired in red tape?

I admit to having missed the fact that Michael had a tape recorder when Victor came in the other day and started threatening him, but my girlfriend's eagle eye spotted it. But then, my immediate thought was, ``he'd better have the volume turned up pretty high if he wants to record someone across the room.'' And then when I realized it was Victor he was trying to record--well, if you own a VCR, you surely know the problem I'm talking about without my having to explain it.

Besides, some of my readers clamor for Michael to lose once in a while. I don't know why they want this, frankly. But I figured I'd indulge them anyway.

Will Nikki be dismayed by news that's hot off the wire?

Is it really just coincidence that suddenly we're dealing with the validity of Nikki and Joshua's marriage, the validity of Diane and Victor's marriage, and the validity of Phillip and Katherine's marriage? Well, ok, this last one is just my speculation; but they did replay Phillip's letter to Jill a lot and it conspicuously mentions the Dominican Republic divorce, so I have to wonder (as they say). Good plots never come in ones on Y&R; I'm not sure why that is. Oh well. At least we seem to be getting good plots again lately. That's a change for the better! I think both the pace and writing quality have really picked up since Kay Alden took over as Head Writer. Keep it up, Kay!

That's all for Episode 105's morals. Don't miss Episode 106 and its morals!
