I think All My Children’s writers have already moved to California. The show is playing as though it were scripted by the proverbial 1000 monkeys on 100 typewriters. Tuesday’s episode was the most illogical, implausible ever. The audience was asked to believe that Zach built a panic room in his house which Kendall never noticed, that Zach found or somehow created Kendall’s doppleganger — because it’s not like Alicia Minshew’s ultra-thin figure, perfect ringlets, and bright blue eyes are in any way unusual — and persuaded her to possibly spend the rest of her life in prison in exchange for a sum of money that she might not ever be able to spend. Did Zach have all this set up just in case Kendall ever was wrongly convicted of a crime? Did he find Kendall 2.0 by placing an ad in the etc. section of Craigslist? Zach’s explanation that the Kendall Klone knew she would only be in prison until the real killer was brought to justice is equally improbable. This individual must be incredibly naive about the justice system. Didn’t she see that Oprah episode featuring the guy who spent over a decade in prison because he made a false confession? Who would be willing to give up her life to go to prison? A homeless person? A mental patient? A robot? A daytime production office staffer who could no longer make ends meet thanks to salary cuts? If the prison term is only going to last a few months why go through all the trouble of hiring the double? Is Jesse completely corrupt now? This story was obviously not plotted out in advance. It would not surprise me if, when it’s all over, we learn that Stuart is actually alive and living with David’s evil nurse. (Remember that dangling plot point? I am not sure if anyone on the show does.) Rumor is Minshew and Thorsten Kaye are two of the AMC stars who are reluctant to move to Los Angeles. I doubt this recent plot twist is much encouragement to stay with the show.

Bibel over exaggerates a bit, but, yeah...

This was a HORRIBLE episode! Not only because of the plot in and of itself, but the pacing and dialogue! Not only was it heavy handed, it was redundant, which is Taylor's trademark! Hmm... can't think of a creative way to fill a scene? Have characters say the same thing over and over in different ways and think nobody will notice. Those Erica and Ryan scenes (pre-vomit inducing phone call) went nowhere. They had the same argument for, what, two scenes and nothing happened. She just left and went to bed?! Back to that shitastic Zendall mess... I still don't get how she can't see "The Boys" but can all of a sudden see "The Boys" and how it's going to be their imagination?! I hate it when dialogue is supposed to be expository in a situation like this leaves BIG GAPING HOLES!
