Episode 13 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 13:

New clues for an age-old crime

I still miss seeing Tim and keep trying to re-involve him in things. Even if he confessed, I'm convinced we could get him off without losing Phyllis in the process. But I think Phyllis would be really touched by his gesture toward her, and perhaps we could do something fun with her deciding she wanted Tim instead of Danny.

A new crime for some age-old clues

Boy are there are lot of clues without a mystery. Or is there? Maybe there are two mysteries? Maybe three? I wish we had a little coherence so we could focus on a coherent solution. I feel as if any mystery that does arrive and be solved will be kind of haphazard and perhaps retrofitted to accomodate the many complaints about dangling clues. The mystery resulting from poor writing is not the kind of mystery that those of us who love mysteries are clamoring for!

Age-old cluelessness that's a crime itself

I used to like the character of Neil, but the Y&R writers have spoiled him utterly. His attitudes are so yucky that it's hard to have any respect for him at all. I will likely hate him and wish him harm for a long, long time unless he really gets a good dose of humble pie. He deserves to be rejected by everyone for the way he's being--why are so many people (like Olivia) willing to listen to him without slapping him? If he doesn't lose his job and perhaps also his family over his present ways, I don't think I'll believe he's changed his ways. Someone this stuck on his attitude doesn't change overnight or for casual reasons.

That's all for Episode 13's morals. Don't miss Episode 14 and its morals!
