Just ask Maggie Horton!
Seriously, what is with Days and their Green agenda that they are hyper-promoting? I don’t mean to sound like Rush Limbaugh or any other ultra-conservative pundit, but what’s up with this? Yes, it’s a good cause but the writers just aren’t being subtle about it. I feel like we’re being hit on the head with this Green business so much that if Ken Corday suddenly changed the name of the show to Days of Our Green Lives, I wouldn’t be surprised.
So how Green is Salem?
- Well we can thank Lucas and Sami for leading the charge with their Green wedding. EJ was green with envy and I was green with nausea after listening to Lucas and Sami’s sickeningly sweet vows.
- The Earth Day episode where everyone and their aunt wore “message” T-shirts.
- Dr. Daniel Jonas, Surfer, Noted Surgeon, and All Around Friend to the Environment. I hate him and I don’t care how many hospitals he’s made eco-friendly. I also hate how everyone in Salem bows down to him just because he saved Bo and Chelsea’s lives and recycles on a consistent basis. He’s too old for Chelsea. And boring.
- Chez Rouge, the first Green restaurant in Salem. Of course, Maggie, trendsetter that she is, was all over the Green movement and has the “major award” from the Salem Green Society to prove it.
- Nick Fallon and his grant project (with additional assistance from Will Hunting Max Brady.
- Bo and Hope, Salem’s newest Eco-Fighters. Not only is Fancy Face going to downgrade from an SUV to a Prius but they’re also going to convert their home and The Brady Pub. Never one to be outdone, Lexie is going to put more effort in solar-paneling her home than her marriage.
For real, this show is starting to sound like an environmental PSA. If Ava is sentenced to community service cleaning beer cans off the side of the road while John Black plants community trees where the old Salem Place set used to be, I think I may lose it.
If the show were to do this, I wish they would add humor to the story. People standing around lecturing each other and patting themselves on the back for their fine fine attitude towards saving the earth is unrealistic and annoying. Why not just have them mention a bit on how they are working on it, then let say Nicole roll her eyes. You could have Anna TRY to be green by wearing green or maybe buying those cloth bags for the supermarket, but Tony complains everytime she throws them away when she is done.
However, the topper was forcing Nick to have to listen to Daniel lecture on being green in the pub. Are you serious? And why was Maggie there? And not, I don’t know, CAROLINE.
Speaking of Maggie, could Nick share some scenes with the nuMickey?
That’s a great idea about Anna and Tony. You can be on my pretend DOOL writing team. And where is nuMickey? I feel like I’ve only seen him three times.
My Daniel hate is almost on par with my Jack Shephard hate.
