Somebody PLEASE tell Luann that “blank slate” is derogatory and implies that she is merely a passive receptor of other people’s information and influences. This was the model of public schooling generations ago as students were treated as empty vessels to receive uncritically what ever they were taught. That is the more accurate metaphor. It now seems clear that “BS” describes G&K’s grasp of Luann’s development.
What makes G&K think Shannon is interesting? Also, why is Luann being written to make her look more and more like a ditz? More thought has to go into the writing.
Indeed. The writers seem to lose their nerve in the middle of a storyline and refuse to commit to a proper dénouement. Kip and Tiffany should have had SOME kind of meaningful encounter either at the mansion or at dinner. There should have been SOME kind of confrontation between Steff and Tiffany with Kip making good on his need for a more refined girlfriend.
Instead, the the characters just spin their wheels and do not develop. I wonder who is more at fault: Greg or Karen.
The quality of writing is certainly in freefall. First The Evanses fail to develop the airport scene and now they’re spinning our wheels watching Tiffany babble like an idiot. If Stef isn’t punted by the end of this arc, it’s time to move on.
