Another update?
Twice in as many days. Wow.
I have to comment on two things.
1. Because I think it's obligatory that I address the John/Jared scene yesterday. Okay, for starters, I'll be rational. I understand that this scene had one real function and that was to give John an excuse to run off to Colombia. I get it. They can't have John get too worried about Natalie because if he did, he'd stay, and then poor little defenseless Cristian would be stuck in a cell doing push ups in a skimpy shirt forever (la dulce pauses to fantasize... ) with no one to come to his rescue. I get it. But I think they could have written the whole thing a little better to make it believable. I know John and Nat aren't together now, but they weren't together when he dug up a grave to get her out of jail either, so his dismissal of her possible kidnapping seems odd. (Also, John, how many times has she BEEN kidnapped? Why is that not automatically everyone's first assumption when they can't find her for an hour or two) I like that they made it clear that John still doesn't trust Jared. I liked him blaming Jared's actions for her leaving.
How would I have rewritten this? Had Jared go to John and Bo at the same time. Then once the Mortimer Bern thing comes out, Bo tells John that they need him to go to Colombia and promises he'll look into the Natalie disappearance. After all, just as Antonio was too close to the Cristian case, John's too close to this one. From there throwing Bo off track shouldn't be too hard.
But in other news
I know I'm supposed to be spoiler free, but I check casting news so that I can emotionally prepare myself for any forthcoming deaths. And what did I find?
I have no idea whether this is reliable or not, but someone on lj said that one of the mags is reporting Tea's coming back! It's redunk how excited I am about this. When I got hooked on the show in '96 she was one of the reasons. Now, it may be my glasses have some pink tint. It is my impression that after I stopped watching in mid '98 she got a little less awesome. But I didn't see it so in my world? Never happened. Finally a return I'm excited about!!!
