I loved this episode. The court scenes were great and to mix that with the funeral's victim make great storytelling. For once they give layers to the two parties : the victim and the culprit. It give a somewhat nuanced vibe to the story which is rare in daytime and even more on Days (soap really expert in black/white simplistic storytelling usually)..i am impressed by that. Moreover they don't whitewash the Brady's habitude of nepotism with police rules..how refreshing..i like that..far more realistic and complex story that usual thanks to that imo.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the JJ/Jen/Dan story..it makes the Jen and Dan characters bearable compare to the other silly and one-note stories with pathetic soap vixens Nicole or Chloe schemes against them. JJ is a little bitch who somewhat uses his father's death to mess with his mother's new relationship but at least it is realistic and allow to take a bit off their pedestal 'perfect' Jennifer and Daniel. We also see sometimes some vulnerability from JJ can somewhat understand his grief and wild all over the place rebel teenage attitude deep down therefore this story is kind of good to me.
I'm glad that the victim's family is featured. It's a nice change.
DeleteI don't see any vulnerability with JJ. He seems totally one note to me. He's never sorry. He never feels guilt. He's causing more airtime for a losing couple that most fans hate.
I love JJ, and while I am by no means a fan of the Daniel-Jen pairing, JJ's arrival is brilliant because he is the catalyst that makes that Dan-Jen story interesting. Too, having witnessed a friend behave as bad as the character, JJ is written to behave after the loss of a parent, I, for one, say Bravo to the writers. The writers clearly have captured exactly the anger and rebelliousness some children exhibit after the loss of a parent.
