While no one could ever accuse any of these people
of being the brains in this outfit, the actions and words of some of our
Harmonyites this week just absolutely screamed "Morbid stupidity!"
First up, we have Whitney,
who lived up to her unflattering (albeit accurate) nickname, "Twitney." It was
bad enough that she and Chad were too full of self righteous indignation to
realize that something was really wrong about the Vincent situation. I mean, if
Vinnie is the long lost Evian child, then why are the aforementioned parents now drinking themselves into
a forgetful stupor as we speak? You'd think someone would actually say, hey wait
a minute. What are you not telling me about Vincent... that I will actually stop
whining about me long enough to hear you? Oh no, not Whitney and
Chad. They only care about how Vincent has hurt them and are obviously either
too clueless or too insensitive to see how finally coming face to face with this
ungrateful brat is having an adverse effect on Julian and Eve.
Hold on, Whitney is far from
being cooked here. She hears Vincent throwing Valerie around the room. Never
mind that we only saw Valerie and only heard Vincent -we've figured it out
already so you can knock that off anytime now. But anyway, Whitney hears what is
clearly a violent confrontation between Vincent and Val, and Vincent is winning.
So what does the Queen of Twit do? She stands there and says, "Oh gee, I think
Valerie is in trouble," just in case the audience hadn't connected those
particular dots yet. Still standing there. Oh my Lord, this woman should not
allow her dumbosity out into the world to infect others. She could've called the
cops. She could've busted in and found a nearby heavy object to whack Vincent
over the head with. But no, can't waste a chance to drag this story out even
further with yet another contrived scene. See, if Whitney had actually taken
some action, then she would've found out just what it is about Vincent that
makes him live up to his Freaky moniker - in record time - and we can't have
that, no?
It, you say? It being that more than likely, we
would've seen Vincent beating the living daylights out of the good side of
himself, and that is Valerie. I'm not going to take that one any further as I am
out of aspirin and haven't had nearly enough caffeine to sustain life, let alone
a rational thought. But I will say that the story surrounding Vincent is out and
out nuts.
Now let's discuss the bastard in question. Should
I feel sorry for him after hearing his sob story? Probably. Do I feel sorry for
him? Hell to the no. This creep killed Rae to hurt Simone and boinked Chad in
order to destroy Whitney. Why? Because they had what he didn't and that's
parents. Boo friggedy hoo. Suck it up and shut up. You're not listening to a
damn thing Eve is saying.... and while we're on that subject, let me just say
real quick that there is another nasty habit that the show needs to drop: Eve's
past addiction to alcohol and drugs. None of these people are saints and many of
them have committed heinous acts and have yet to answer for it, so in plain
English? Leave Eve's past in the past where it belongs because it's not only
irrelevant, but the fact that you keep bringing it up is both tiring and
unimaginative. Now where was I? Oh yes, the whiny Freak.
Listen here, whiny Freak. We've been watching this
show, remember? Everything Eve is saying is true. She and Julian DID try to find
you and Alistair managed to throw one roadblock after another in their path. He
did lead them to believe that you were dead.
We've seen firsthand the damage that Alistair can do, and let me tell you
something Vincent. He makes you look like amateur night. If Alistair didn't want
you to be found then guess what? You were not going to be found, no matter what
Eve and Julian did. They were powerless against his absolute cruelty. Knowing
that, I'm having a really tough time mustering up any kind of sympathy for you.
Have mercy on us and throw this jackass off a cliff or something. Now Julian and
Eve face the decision of keeping quiet about Vincent's crimes, or stepping
forward and ultimately saving Luis. It's a no-brainer kids: Start talking.
You're crybaby of a son will get the hell over it.
But the stupidity of our Harmony residents is not
limited to this bunch. We also have Sher-whacked. Sheri-dumb? Whatever fits,
right? This blond psycho has teamed up with Vincent to pry Fancy away from Luis.
A quick review of the scorecard shows that Sheridan's current actions are akin
to scoring a field goal with a minute left in the game and you're down by
forty-eight points. Hello! Wake the hell up Sheridan! She's so intent on
bringing back Pretty and have her past with Fancy come between Fancy and Luis
that she's not even seeing the big picture. That big picture is of a ticking
clock. What is the point of fracturing Luis and Fancy and having Luis for
yourself if he's about to be executed, you ditz? On the brainless list, this one
is in the top ten and I'd dare say, is bucking for the top spot. Sheridan can't
decide between revealing the identity of the blackmailer and exonerating Luis,
or keeping quiet. Actually, let me rephrase that. She can't decide between
allowing Luis to be executed or allowing him to live and be with Fancy. What a
flocking stupid nutcase this woman is. It's another no-brainer if you're keeping
track: Speak up and clear Luis' name. Can't be with him if he's dead, right?
RIGHT?
And to think, they actually let these people out
of their houses.
