Days of our Lives - Friday, December 6, 2024

Do you ever get the feeling that the writers on Days either flunked geography in school, or it was not offered as a subject?

Most Hollywood writers don't seem to know anything about geography or laws outside of California.

There's a scene in Transformers: Age of Extinction where Mark Wahlberg's character claims that his daughter is underage. (Which leads to a ridiculous scene where her early 20s boyfriend pulls a card out of his wallet about the Romeo and Juliet law). The scene was set in Texas not California, so his 17 year old daughter wasn't underage but she would have been underage in California where the movie was written.

The fact that she wasn't underage in that state made the "Romeo and Juliet law" redundant. (This so-called Romeo & Juliet law basically says that it's legal for an adult to be in a relationship with an underage person if they're no more than 3 years apart in age and they were dating before the older person became a legal adult if I remember it correctly. But in Texas, 17 is legal age, so both people were legally adults no matter what Mark Wahlberg's parental character claimed.)
