Goddammit! I like to refrain from completely bashing a person's religious beliefs but I am honestly getting sick and tired of these washed up rednecks saying how Jesus Christ is helping them battle through their addiction. Hmm... where was the Son of God when your drunk, stoned ass was partying. Now he's there to make you strong, huh? Yeah, life isn't pretty when you sober up. But exchanging one addiction for another isn't going to help your sorry asses. I swear to Christ ( ), drunks are more fun than Alcoholics.
Later...
I change my mind. I am just recalling my meal with my father the other night and my "friend" who called later that next morning. My father was sauced before he showed up and was in no shape to drive the 1/15 of a mile to his house next door after we killed that bottle of Wild Turkey. And my "friend," the guy who seems quite proud of himself for finally getting busted for DUI (get this, the cops caught him when he stopped at the 7-11 to buy a case of beer) and all his experiences in the big house. Jobless, girlfriend-less (he apparently cursed her or hit her while drunk yet her parents bailed him out of jail), carless (impounded, still) yet still scrounging for money for beer.
Nope. I hate drunks as well.
Why is it that writers always fuck with the show's stars? I just saw CSI and now Katherine has been raped (or, since she was slipped a mickey, date raped). And house OD'd on oxycodone. Angel was giving a son. Why is it the focus of TV shows are taken away from premise, say like an embittered, mysogynistic doctor who saves people to said doctor being fucked up on pills all the time? There is a difference between resolving conflict and fucking with our characters. This is why I stopped watching Joss Whedon's shows (and it saddens me for the same thing would've happened to Firefly). There are simple rules of what to avoid in TV shows: no kids people (if the couple is having a kid the shows been going down for at least a season), don't change the premise (for example, House wouldn't work if Greg had his license suspended... which I fear will happen sooner or later), the couple cannot get together (Moonlighting anyone?), and for FUCK's Sakes a woman doesn't have to be violated for mass audience appeal. If it works in the plot of a movie/minseries or if that was part of the character's backstory. Sarah Sidle was mentioned to have a problem with alcohol so when that arose on CSI, it made sense and it passed. Now Katherine has been changed and the character will not be the same. This was an attempt to spice up CSI, just like talking corpses (did you see that episode? Also reminded me of the last days of Moonlighting). If you need something beyond the premise of the show to keep it interesting it's already overstayed its welcome.
