Subject: Per Goof, Lafaux....
In reply to: OTWB 's message, "I'm not sure that I disagree with you, Lafaux! I don't think that the writing of Blair SHOULD be always within regard to where Todd is or where he's not. They are two separate issues to me, which is MY point." on 10:04:13 06/16/02 Sun

Not the biggest goof fan on the planet, just one who thinks that's who Todd became during tripe, and I've yet to see any reason for him to change. TPTB have given him no consequences or any reasons to change it, Goof has been damned effective, you gotta admit. Up until he got busted, by Blair, Goof was doing his job. Yeah, it sucked that they had to turn Blair into a wimpy ass Donna Reed type... (I do have some BIG problems with THAT, incidentally) but in regards to the fictional reality of Todd, he's done a decent job of keeping Todd out of jail, on the loose and his family close to him, or somewhat close to him. Seems to me that Todd is quite good at settling for half ass. I'm not, but well... that really doesn't change Todd's POV whether I like it or not.

Booby Boy/Goof has been around a LOT of years, he's not just a Gary thing, after all, so NO, I don't blame Gary for da Goof. Do I blame Roger? NOPE, I blame the writers for not creative way OUT of it. Maybe this Dingo Island thing is it, I'm willing to bear it, if it is. Regardless of agenda, good storytelling is good storytelling. I've been saying it for a lot of years.... I will say that it is a DAMNED SHAME that at ABC Daytime who are too POLITICALLY CORRECT and UNIMAGINATIVE to write a viable villain who has more than ONE NOTE, if he's bad, then he must be humiliated and dragged to the lowest possible point and left there to ROT. If he's good, turn him into Superman and ram him up EVERYONE'S ass, then wristslap the folks who don't see the point. As if I am so stupid, that I have to be beaten over the head with a fricking stick?

It's insulting, plain and simple. I find Goof/Booby Boy less insulting this time around, because... I have seen enough of REAL Todd to know he exists. Oddly enough, I've always found that at the end of Todd's stories, I usually can look at the big picture and make some sense out of it, at least in my own mind. Call it spin, call it rationalization... whatever. If I don't get something that makes sense at the end, then I'll be proud to say so, feel used, angry and BITCH my fool head off, but well... until then, I'm waiting it out.

If they give me a nice Blair story, I'll stick around AFTER I bitch my fool head off, if they don't, well I'm out of there, cuz I'm not into SHIT for NOUGHT.

But still, I've watched it for a lot of years, in spite of it IN HOPE, that it would change... it's finally not worth it to me. So call me a bad Blair fan, or disloyal... I've had enough, it disgusts me, and I'll either find OTHER reasons to watch and FF'd through that crap, or I'll just turn it off. -- OTWB, 20:02:08 06/16/02 Sun

Are you leaving also? I'm not calling you a good Blair fan or a bad one, don't care if you are even a Blair fan at all. -- Lafaux, 20:11:04 06/16/02 Sun
