I'm In A Coma,
Okay. This is going on. But it is not everything, just a part. A key part.
It could seem really silly or playful. It’s not. It is dead serious.
I watch a soap opera, as you know, All My Children. I like to watch it regularly but not because I want to know what is going on for the characters for the show.
I like to watch it to know what is happening in my life.
Over decades, as I have grown up with this show and other ones, at different times I have identified with various characters. You have described how star/celebrity identifications are a continuation of some long-held social patterns. I see that. Makes sense. I can think of reasons, you can too, of why I’ve overstepped this in some ways.
NOT MEWhat matters is this: right now I’m Kendall. Previously played by Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar, I’m the SORAS victim Kendall Alicia Minshew, NOT Buffy.
ME
Like, sometimes I am more her than me. I know I’m not, okay? But, I understand how I am. See the difference.
Not surprisingly, Kendall is right now in a coma. Oh, and also she is pregnant and everyone has to choose whether they save her or her baby. Everyone thinks she doesn’t love her baby, except for her fiancé Zack who knows she really really does. But no one pays attention to Zack. Insipid fan fiction describes him as “dark, haunted.” More concretely it is because he is a casino owning, son abandoning, underworld connected Machiavelli who is responsible for Kendall being pregnant with her best friend’s (assumed but resurrected) late husband.
It was a power outage thing.
On the show you see Kendall in her coma with Zack, her mother, her baby father and her evil gyno at her side. They stand around her and make decisions.
The audience hears her voice, pleading with them to just listen to just watch as she twitches her thumb.
