Let’s suppose that Jason Morgan will live a long, healthy life. (I assume that he will end up like Tristan in Legends of the Fall, outliving all the men and women who loved him so dearly only to get eaten by a bear or something ridiculous like that.) How many more baby pictures do you think he will add to his Box of Secret Pain. I’m guessing at least three, as I am sure there will be at least another murder trial or two to distract Jason from procreating further.
How sad is it that the only mention of a doctor on Friday show was Doctor Zhivago in what was an ill-advised attempt to create a backstory for a dayplayer in the latest Carly/Jax/Jerry nonsense. That’s basically the only thing I got out of this whole storyline because I just can’t deal with it, nor with Irina’s bangs.
It’s also depressing that the only scenes occurring in the titular hospital were between Liz and Emily discussing Jason and Lucky. If I ever get sick in SoapLand, I am going to check myself into Salem’s University Hospital. Say what you will (and there’s a lot–the nurses are mean and the doctors have a tendency to misdiagnose and even declare patients dead) but at least they offer to give you sponge baths and massages. And I haven’t heard one person talk about leaving her husband for a mobster.
Speaking of Liz, she’s so put upon and poor that she has to walk her kids through the Most Dangerous Park Ever on the way to and from Work. If only she had made the decision to leave Lucky the day before she could have been riding around town in Jason’s Expedition of Vigilante Justice instead of encountering Crazy Park Jogging McCall and gun-toting mobsters.
What is with Sam’s numerous outfit changes? I like how she managers to go from stalking Liz in her bebe sportwear to seducing Lucky in her black widow meets Stevie Nicks ensemble. What’s up with the mismatched earrings? I feel that’s something she may have picked up from Kate Roberts on Days. We’ll know for sure if her hair soaks up more highlights and begins painting only half of her fingernails.
Does it bother anyone else that Jason hangs out with an inordinate amount of teenagers? It reminds me too much of that animated series with Mr. T and all the gymnasts. In fact, I think that after Night Shift ends, they should just produce a spin off with Jason and his band of teens (Lulu, Spinelli, Maxie, Coop, Logan and Michael for good measure) fighting crime and getting into scrapes with the Port Charles Police Department. Naturally, Sonny will appear at the end of each episode telling the youngsters watching at home to say no to crime.

I’m so pleased I wasn’t the only one going WTF? at the Doctor Zhivago back-story. That was so bizarre.

As were Sam’s very distracting mismatched earrings.

[...] Kristina, because we LOOOOOOOOOVE that movie like Lulu LOOOOOOOOOOVES Johnny. Die. Anyway, I’ve made the “Jason=Tristan” comparison before, but it’s so apt, especially since Jason is a hitman and Tristan is a bootlegger (yet both [...]
