I don't expect this show to be the best thing on television. Still, there are limits to how much over-the-top angst and dysfunction and plain ol' stupidity my low expectations can handle. Ivy's reason for avoiding Linus? Stupid. Camille's 5,483rd week of being a bitch to everyone and being shocked to find herself alone? Stupid. Seriously, what did Scagliotti do to tick off the writers to the point where they're constantly making her character so unlikable? Sure, I get it. She had a tough childhood. I could understand if she never got out of that hole, but she did...and now she's doing everything she can to jump back into that hole every single week. And not in different ways, but by being an uber bitch every single week. Consistently. Relentlessly. Completely. It's actually beyond stupid. And Fisher agreeing not to arrest the guy at the end in front of his kid? Almost as stupid as Cameron suggesting it in the first place. Again, I understand where Cameron is coming from, but he's smart enough to instantly come up with a way to handle things better than they were handled when he was the kid in that scenario. Oh, well. On the bright side, the writers don't give us outings like this one every week, but they seem to come far more often than they should.
