Censor's Passions Commentary - February 14, 2005

*Censor screeches in the door*.. So sorry I'm late guys!! I'd like to bring you the two worst words I've heard in the past few months-- NO DSL!! My ISP was having an outage, so I couldn't get the column up yesterday. But I'm back, and of course-- I've got my quips in hand and am ready to hand it to our favorite show! So without further adieu-- let's get it started, my friends!

GRAVES-- Julian. Oh my lord-- is JER really doing this? He's got Julian doing the exact thing that supposedly "broke his heart" a few years ago?? Show of hands-- who remembers Julian's devastation at the news that Ethan was not his son? He was CRUSHED when he learned that Ivy had been lying to him all that time. Yet, he'll bow to the whim of the EVIL DOCTOR EVE and deceive his OWN son in the same manner? Give me a break. I can't believe I'm saying this, because I've actually semi-enjoyed "snuggle-soft" Julian-- but bring the REAL Julian back! The REAL Julian would NEVER allow someone to pass of someone as a possible Crane heir. And the worst part of this is that Julian and Fox have had a mountain between them since before Fox returned to town-- and this was a possibility for Julian to chip away at that. Instead-- JER has laid the scene for an explosive situation. But of course-- he won't know how to handle it.

RAVES-- Katherine. (spews coffee all over monitor) "Did I really just write that", Censor thinks to herself. Yes I did. For a brief, shining moment-- Katherine showed that she does indeed possess the ability to put two brain cells together and DO THE RIGHT THING. Her scene with Paloma at the beginning of the week where Kat told Paloma, "You need to start looking at this situation as a woman," was hands down, THE BEST THING KATHERINE HAS EVER DONE. Not that it will do a great deal of good, mind you-- we all know Paloma's head is thicker than Theresa's!! But of course, Katherine once again goes DOLT on us when she plans to leave Harmony once again. I don't understand her logic, don't care about her pathetic reasons. It is time for Katherine to muster some chutzpah and stand up for the decisions she has made-- rather than hiding behind Martin and planning to abandon her children-- AGAIN!

RAVES-- Whitney and Eve. Although I know their reunion will be short-lived.. I had tears in my eyes as the two embraced. THIS is how it should have been in the beginning. Yes, Eve lied about her past and allowed the opportunity for this to happen, but it's not like she set up Whitney intentionally-- that blame belongs to only Alistair. Whitney and Eve's embrace was touching-- and it was just really good to see Whitney finally show some emotion OTHER than anger. Whitney has spewed nothing but bile and hatred since learning that her half-bro knocked her up, blaming everyone but the Easter Bunny for the situation that she helped create. And it's RIDICULOUS. But-- for a brief, shining moment-- all the wrongs have been righted. I'm sure JER will CLUCK that up before the month ends!

GRAVES-- Sheridan. I'm sorry-- even her moment holding the baby in the nursery doesn't redeem her this week. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SHERIDAN?? What a freakin' moron! Okay, lemme get this straight-- "somehow Beth ended up with my baby?" Is she joking? She believe that Marty is her son, (and rightfully so) and she believes that Beth has him. So what does she do? She confronts Beth about it in her house. Okey-dokey, Sheridan-- let's take stock-- you know that you were kidnapped and held in some kind of pit, your baby was kidnapped and later believed to be dead. You also know that Beth was pregnant at the same time you were. So-- if your kid was kidnapped and you now believe that Beth has your son-- the obvious question would be-- WHERE DID BETH'S BABY GO?? What a moron. Rather than taking a lock of Marty's hair and heading straight to Harmony Hospital and getting a nurse to run a DNA test-- Sheridan wouldn't need consent-- she IS a Crane, and proving it without a doubt-- Sheridan just stands in the living room while Beth once again, plots her demise. UGH! Get it together, Sheridan. REMEMBER that you're a Crane-- and start showing us the spunky power you once possessed before Antonio fried your brain. (literally)
