General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote genhospchat: Ok I'm going to go out on a limb here and post how "I" saw that scene (I admit I haven't read all posts but some are so silly that I just skimmed over them).

IMO it was crazy of Jason to have put a gun to her anyways since she was holding Carly. Claudia could have freaked out and shot Carly anyways JUST BECAUSE Jason had a gun on her. Would Jason have held a gun to her in a room full of people (one being Robin who he respects more than many people, who he KNOWS HATES them) while someone held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, no.

Do I think he would have got a shot off, NEVER, because she was holding Carly. Had she not been holding Carly, would he have got a shot off, possibly but we don't know. Either way, IMO, I think it was silly of Jason to do that in a room full of innocent people. If people don't agree with me, I am ok with that and I will STILL sleep tonight!

As for those making fun of others who are saying Jason is OOC, well isn't it THEIR choice to think that way? Do they have to be mocked and made fun of? I seem to recall two years ago the OUTRAGE being said of Sam's character being shown as OOC and that was the ONLY reason that she could have POSSIBLY acted that way (though now the excuse is she was hurt so she really WASN'T OOC?), not to mention the ONLY time that Jason was seen my many was when he was with Liz (why he has been a part of her life for 10 years) why not allow it to be seen by Jason fans that he is OOC? Btw, MOST of these comments were made by many of the same people who are now commenting that Jason is NOT OOC. I guess he's only OOC when it's convenient.

I'm not making this into a Sam vs Liz thing but perhaps showing that if it can be said about one character or onw storyline, why can't it be said about another character or storyline without the smarmy comments being said about another person's OPINION?? You don't feel Jason is OOC, that's fine and that's how you feel and congrats but others do! I happen to be one of them but I am also hoping it is storyline related in the near future so I will wait and see.

I thought we all got past the point of this kind of stuff. I thought we all agreed that these kind of things were not necessary anymore but it that only when it's "convenient" or when "certain people" need to cry wolf? Carry on!

Quote alikat: Ya'll are being a bit cruel don't you think?

We are allowed to have our opinions without being criticized and ridiculed by other posters. (And some of you really surprised me and some of you REALLY didn't)

So what if I don't think like you do.

And if others think Jason is being written out of character, so what? They have that right as Jason fans to state as such in this thread.

I've just read a whole page of obvious mocking, baiting and ridicule for thinking that Jason acts out of character.

I happen to be one of those that thinks Jason has been "written" out of character or maybe a better term is differently than the character has been presented to us in the past. He cannot tell a liar when they lie right to his face. He puts up with BS that Jason would normally not put up with. He's more forgiving with ALL others than he normally would be. He DID miss at the carnival (which I have stated I think was the writers trying to be funny ~ well HaHa...to me Jason Morgan would have been able to adjust for the carni guns)

Oh and it has nothing to do with the fact that he's not with Elizabeth. It has to do with the fact that I have seen the change in Jason Morgan, the character. I feel quite slighted by some on this board that feel I cannot think past a pairing or that I only have opinions based on that particular pairing.

So, as you mock and ridicule ME and others that feel differently than you do just be sure you don't actually BASH me. Cause that gets you banned from this message board because we have rules and guidelines to keep posters from being treated poorly by others.

I'm allowed as a member of this website to have my own opinions. Even if it doesn't "go with the flow" or even if it differs from others on here or that write for the show.

I love Jason..."real" or "OOC" and I get to be a fan and participate in this thread.

Quote alikat:


Clearly that must be it. His eyesight is poor. Because the Jason we have been treated to for the past thirteen years was a marksman to be outdone by no other. But he could not adjust for the crappy carni-gun.

Imagine our sexy Jason with glasses.

Quote JaneDoe:

But is it OK when some posters mock JaSam fans for their opinions? Because it happens. I'm not saying by you, but it happens. Sometimes people get fed up and they retaliate by turning the tables. Is that the right thing to do? No, but I understand why it happens.

Quote onlygh: Here's my take. If you can't be a Jason fan right now, whether you think he's a dead-beat-dad or is being played OOC, perhaps you ought to take a little break from the "Jason Fan" thread. Also, if you say something negative about Jason in a "Jason Fan" thread, you cannot expect that the "Jason Fans" are going to just sit there and take it.

I have no problem with the idea that you can be a fan of character for a long time and then decide they stink up the joint for awhile. For example, I really adored Johnny but then I thought he was being a creep. During his Creep Phase, I did not post in the "Johnny Fan" thread. When he exited his Creep Phase, I started posting in there again.

This is JMHO...no attacks or condescending posts please. I'm pretty neutral on SuperJase these days. I have been a big fan in the past. I like him just fine now but there are other characters I like better. Therefore, I only post in here when I have something positive to say about him.

Quote Nightmoves:

I'm sure you are right Katie, like Jason should open fire in a crowed room, not to mention while Claudia is holding a pregnant Carly in front of her.

Sheesh, what's next

Quote Charming the Flame:

just to play devils advocate does that mean he didn't care if he hit Maxie then?

When you are questioning the character, it is what it it... But if we brought the writers into it we could question their consistency. Jason has always been the opposite of Sonny. The more high pressured a situation usually the calmer he is. It's what made him so good at his line of work. The only thing that USED to get to Jason was not being able to take action. Now a days lots seems to get under his skin so it's probably a good thing he hesitated on the shot.

Quote cincyghfan:

Maybe Jason needs a helmet... mittens.... LOL Poor brain damaged Jason.

Quote cincyghfan:

Ali and Gen, honestly ya`ll need to unclench... Come on, its ok for ya`ll to make light and poke fun at Jason when its on your terms... But if another poster does it you guys jump on your soap box and cry foul.

I would think as Jason fans you would join in, poking fun at some of the silly rumors floating around the net. Why does everythign have to be so serious all the time?

Quote genhospchat:


Hmm, to say that "we" can comment about Jason on "our" terms? Not even really sure what that has to do with mine or Ali's post considering the comments made that we are speaking of weren't about Jason, they were about the posters themselves (look at how many people have admitted that already).

I have NO PROBLEM poking fun at Jason or calling him out because I think YES HE IS acting like a boob right now, is a hypocrite and has become the Sonny clone and no it's NOT enjoyable to me (oh and AGAIN for the record, it has NOTHING to do with Liz but more to do with his son but I know some won't see that because they see what they want...not saying you Cincy). I know THAT will be jumped on but I'm ok with that because I enjoy a good debate, as long as it's a debate and not just some making fun of others JUST to have something to say or feel like they are part of the group.
