the transformation of Jason: Quartermaine to Morgan

May 22, 2009 15:26

I've spoken about my love-hate relationship with YouTube. One day I decided to watch Monica's cancer storyline and there were various clips available for my viewing pleasure. So I was previewed to Jason Quartermaine. Then I decided to surf through Jason year-by-year. I witnessed him in a car crash and the aftermath, including his relationship with Keesha Ward that in itself was a Greek tragedy. Personally I'm of what I saw from their relationship I didn't like it one bit Keesha to me is another Elizabeth they tend to force themselfs on people. Which is not healthy for anyone.. but at least AJ got the residual benefits from Keesha.

Seeing Jason transform was actually fun to watch, and then help me understand the character itself better.. the one fly in the ointment however, is Carly Roberts. I love Carly don't get me wrong, I don't like her character in the beginning, using Jason as her boy on the side while he was dating Robin. And then you also inevitably find inconsistencies in later storylines for example. When Carly and Sam get into that bar fight. Carly mentioned how the first night Jason and she met . They played pool and slept together, they play pool, but they didn't sleep with each other, at least not until their third meeting.

That was just wrong, and then later on in their affair. She gets all pissed off because he doesn't want to sleep with her anymore and threatens to tell Robin about their affair at her farewell party before she goes off to Yale. Carly decides not to crush Robin's soul as a graduation present and leaves that to Jason.. now Jason is about to enter a relationship with Carly at least eventually I have to continually keep telling myself that every woman that Jason has ever been with is helping turn him into the man that he is with Sam and that makes you feel 1000 times better, and since he broke up with Sam . Any woman that he is with after Sam is only a stepping stone back to her. No matter how many times they break up.

It's also interesting to see how the family dynamics of the Quartermaines have not changed in over 10 years it doesn't matter who's playing the game it's virtually the same no matter who's involved, Edward tries to be the dictator but for the most part that's not happening. Lila is the calming presence and amazingly she can pretty much control the pack of wolves and still keep her dignity. AJ is the pitiful drunk who can't stop drinking and drives everyone insane. Ned is the well-rounded one who seems to have the permanent job of peacekeeper/referee
Alan and Monica are the commentators who are quick to point out everyone's faults, but hate it when others do the same thing. It's hard to figure out exactly what Tracy's job is. She certainly isn't the voice of reason by any stretch of the imagination. She pretty much as her own motive forever argument she gets it and can switch sides as easily as change underwear.
Jason's old role in the family squabbles was comedic relief really and to be the heart of the Quartermaines. this dubious honor would later be held by Emily

now that job is consistently vacated in the Quartermaine house

New decade same core arguments at least they're consistent...

the closest family that the Quartermaine's remind me of is the Kennedys

more parallels Revelations and commentaries to follow shortly

In this journey they call the transformation of Jason: Quartermaine to Morgan
