In my opinion, if BTG is going to do this impaler/plasma smuggling plot, then they need to hire a top-notch mystery writer (along the lines of dear departed Henry Slesar) to write it -- or at least serve as story consultant. There have been many wonderful soap opera writers who have fallen flat, when they tried to write a mystery plot. And I'm not convinced MVJ (as much as I love her) has what it takes to make this impaler/plasma storyline compelling.
The plot has just started, but already showing signs of weak writing -- by "telling" us the details, rather than "showing" the details. Every really good soap opera mystery storyline from the past has "shown" us enough to be believable; "told" us enough to be compelling, included several red-herrings to throw us for a loop, and ended with a shock or surprise. As much as I adore MVJ, I'm beginning to believe she is not the best person to lead this particular plot.
