Episode 30 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 30:

Victor spars with the GC hospital staff

Is there a point here? Well, personally, I thought Little Victor was a bit young for Victor to be teaching to behave like a Neanderthal. I was pretty disgusted that Hope was accepting of teaching him to box. Has she lost that spine that Cliff left her? I guess if there's a point here, it's to underscore that there must be some age that is too young--by pushing the line even more.

If we're going to be forced to endure religious messages all the time on this show, how about a few that are useful to people of any faith--like ``turn the other cheek.''

Kurt has a chat with the local fire department

There are two points here. The first is simple. Don't play with fire.

The second is that I thought it'd be interesting to see a little payback from Kurt to Grant. If that plot weren't so drug out in time, it would actually be interesting. But since it moves on a nearly glacial time scale, it loses. AWO's time schedule works much more quickly, so I hope it means the sense of drama available here is more noticeable.

Phyllis makes a deal with the police

The new actress already doesn't cut it as Phyllis. It was a mistake even to try. We need to make space for Michelle to come back if she wants to.

If you want me to give this actress a fair shake, give her her own character. Otherwise, expect her to receive a lot of abuse here on AWO as I try to invent ways to make her go away. Sigh.

That's all for Episode 30's morals. Don't miss Episode 31 and its morals!
