Sitting in Toronto-Lester B Pearson Aeroport for the second day in a row, an addendum to the most recent post just occurred to me.
7. It never takes any time to go anywhere. Characters seemingly drive around Oakdale without losing any time whatsoever, making you wonder what sort of futuristic technology Worldwide (the international Trumpesque 30-billion dollar industry headquartered in Oakdale, though what exactly the company does is never really explained, though its ownership is usually highly disputed) invented. Similarly, trips from exurban Illinois to New York City take all of about 2 hours, judging from how quickly characters show up in Times Square. Sure, a few of the characters have private jets, but still. The point is that, in opposition to point 6, chronological realism is sacrificed in the name of compelling stories, even though the SLs when characters jaunt off to the city usually wind up being a waste.
NEXT: Luke and Noah, I swear.
