Final Days Part 6 (Rainy Days and "B" Days Get Me Down)

Signs that it is a “B” Day or Should I say an “X” Day.  How can you tell?  You can tell by the gratuitous nakedness of the characters revolved around a flimsy and ridiculous plot. 

The point of the plot is that Stacy has Gigi’s face.  Stacy supposedly has Gigi’s face, but we all know that it’s not Stacy with Gigi’s face, but it’s Gigi who thinks she’s Stacy with Gigi’s face.  Instead of Rex being with his very depressed, sad-sack of a son, he’s off with Aubrey, chasing the woman with Gigi’s face.  This is another one of Ron’s maneuvers to have all characters converge at the same place.  Read spoilers and you will get where that place is.  If you don’t read the spoilers, then you should do what Inigo and Fezzik did in The Princess Bride.  Re-Ron does that a lot.  “Go back to the beginning!”  Ron began his love affair with Gigi and Rex when he wrote his "Paris Texas" arc.  Who didn't end up in Paris Texas during the conclusion?

Is Jack Manning Really an Idiot Savant?

Jack might be dumber than a box of rocks, but he’s smarter than the average Llanview citizen (which isn't saying very much).  But Jack has broken the “Todd Code”.  Convinced that Todd killed Victor Lord Junior, Jack accused his father of murder.  No one else was convinced that Todd was guilty and that’s funny because Todd use to immediately be everybody’s go to boy when something went wrong.  But Jack held fast to his belief and he’s still convicted to it.  (Now, we all know that Ron has jokes a plenty, so maybe Todd didn’t really kill Victor, but right now, the story says he did do it.)  Jack has also figured out that Todd was responsible for Tomas disappearing and his motive for making it happen. 


Hearts, Flowers and Officer Lovette



Of all of the characters that Ron has created, I think that I like Brody best. He is above all things, loyal, in fact, he is loyal to a fault, and that is what usually gets him into trouble.  He is so dedicated that he wants those things in return and since he has never had that type of loyalty returned to him, he does desperate things to gain, love, trust and loyalty from others.   I hated the way he was written throughout the Jolie paternity mess, but I was reassured that Brody would come out of it unscathed.  How is that being done?  Through martyrdom.  Brody is being written as a poor, hapless martyr.  (I guess it beats crashing into a frozen lake.)
